A Louisiana attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. It might depend what the issue is - well water, water through a public utility, easement, etc. If the matter involves a public utility water company, the most inexpensive option might be to start with them.

I’ve never been married and I’ve been in a 4 year off and on relationship and have somewhat of a love triangle. I’m trying to find the best solution. Would it be legal if I marry them both at the same time?

A Louisiana attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. It's illegal throughout the nation. It's called bigamy.
State trooper cited me for unlawful towing & the driver that hit me was cited for carless operation. No injuries for anyone involved. Court date is March 22 in St. Charles Parish. Accident occurred on I-10 east bound in Louisiana.

Why are you asking this in Justia > Ask a Lawyer > Florida? It seems to be clearly a matter of Louisiana law.

A Louisiana attorney could answer best, but your question remains open for a week. This is a complex subject, with many aspects, including access to data, security of data, uses of data, etc. The short answer nationwide is protection of privacy. Good luck
How can someone get a possession of a firearm charge by a convicted felon if no weapon was found on person and the driver told the cops it was his weapon?
answered on Aug 17, 2022
A charge/arrest/summons is only an accusation and is not a conviction. The defendant in this instance should definitely hire and attorney and discuss his defenses to the charge. Good luck.

Signing rights over a child is a big thing and have legal implications-----please contact a family lawyer or an adoption lawyer to discuss your situation and your options. Good luck.

Something this serious should not be done without representation and as such, I recommend that the first thing you do is consult with a few family law attorneys to discuss this and then decide how to best proceed.
I put a missing person out for my son and when he was located the investigator said he has to turn him over to sheriff's office for a warrant that wasn't in the system from almost a year ago. Altercation with his dad but dad didn't press charges. Now is in jail with no court or... View More

Not enough information is provided here, however the charge can be probated, it is is punishable with incarceration and as such, I would recommend that the defendant hire a criminal defense lawyer to begin preparing a defense of the matter in hope of achieving the best outcome.
I was doing 76 in a 45 which is speeding however I was also charged/cited with reckless operation. What are my options?
answered on Apr 5, 2022
If you go to trial and the prosecution does not prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt or if before trial the prosecution is convinced that it cannot prove its case, then yes you might get the reckless op dismissed. On the other hand, if you are going 30 mph over the speed limit, then many times... View More

On its face the answer to your question is that it is not illegal. That said, the voting process is very possibly described and detailed in your HOA's governing documents and you should review them and see what they say---or hire an attorney to see what they say and whether or not it is...

More information is needed to answer this question but just guessing I would advise that if you want something between 2 parties to possibly be enforceable as to the 3rd parties then yes, it would have to be recorded in the public record----but having stated this, one would still need additional...

I co-signed for my son a car at the price of $12,400. The car was purchased January 2020 with $1000 down toward it, notes are $410.64 but he still has four more years of payments. This is truly unjustified, unfair and ridiculous. I need guidance on what to do and who to contact to help.
answered on Jan 17, 2022
Yes, it is most likely unfair and ridiculous however you and your son sign the agreement-----and you are going to have to explain why it was not voluntary. Try the Consumer Protection Division of the LA Attorney General's office and see if it can provide you some assistance. At this point... View More

Yes, your landlord can move to evict him only. If your landlord is willing to help, have them meet with a real estate attorney to make sure they are following proper eviction procedure, otherwise your boyfriend could have a potential wrongful eviction suit.

Based on your post and specifically $38,000, you should consult with an attorney in your area immediately to determine the best way to proceed moving forward. Good luck.
Can she sell her part without my consent
answered on Oct 12, 2021
In order to really answer this question, one should review what is actually owned by you and by her and what, if any, restrictions exist as to selling the property. Once that is done, then one needs to determine what effect, if any, goes to any verbal agreements made between the two of you as to... View More

answered on Aug 16, 2021
You post does make sense but from it, I understand that you have some pending criminal charges-----and although they are most likely misdemeanors, you should still contest them if you have legal defenses and/or think that the prosecution will not be able to provide its case-----you best bet to...

answered on Jun 17, 2021
Sometimes. The average rate for most misdemeanors is probably around $1,500---$2,000 depending on the charge. True, if you call around you might be able to find an attorney who will charge less than $1,500--$2,000 depending on the circumstances, but there are also attorneys who will charge more.... View More

Yes but it depends on the evidence and does the trier of fact believe beyond a reasonable doubt that a murder occurred. Testimony alone can meet this burden of proof.

More details are needed, but to me the obvious answer is to hire him a competent or better criminal defense lawyer who practices in the area where the prosecution is taking place. Use the Find a Lawyer tab and search for criminal defense lawyers in that area---contact a few, discuss the details... View More
