It is difficult to decipher your description, but the mechanism for challenging a judge's decision is called an appeal. If you don't understand the judge's decision or how to follow the procedures of court, you might be well served to retain a lawyer for your next case or for the present appeal.

There is nothing prohibiting the police from touching your car during a traffic stop or have the dogs sniff your car and touching it. Whether they can search your car is a complication question depending upon the specific facts of your case.

Yes, that is probably legal malpractice. But it would be very difficult to prove damages resulting from the malpractice. Additionally, some states have laws that have strict requirements for legal malpractice cases. Consult with experienced legal malpractice specialists in your state.

It depends on the fee agreement and other facts. Generally, an attorney hiring and using associated attorneys is acceptable.

There is no special instruction for that, and the general instructions on intent are sufficient. What you are arguing is based on the evidence which I assume was presented at trial and was therefore argued on your behalf by your lawyer as a basis to raise a reasonable doubt as to your ability to...

The individual owners should have deeded their interest to the LLC before the sale, if they wanted the proceeds all deemed income to the LLC. While the individual owners may be able to direct payment to the LLC, or deposit their checks into the LLC bank account, I believe at this point that will... View More

These types of unreasonable demands based on aesthetics often become impossible when the one party wants a whole replacement with brand new siding for their entire house based on one unmatched panel. They’re not entitled to that. Call your homeowners insurance company. It is very possible your... View More

In order to enforce an out-of-state judgment or order in Maryland (or in any other state) you need to first obtain an “exemplified” or “triple seal” copy of the order/judgment from the state that issued it. This is different from a regular certified copy. It requires three signatures... View More

Seems a bit odd. Is there an evidence based reason for doing so? Did a witness or security camera footage identify the offender in part by their footwear or feet? Was this a DUI where you failed to perform field sobriety tests and there’s a potential issue that the type of footwear interfered... View More

I’m not sure what you said qualifies as an actual threat. You described a hypothetical future event that describes a forced or unauthorized entry into your home and your imagined reaction to that imaginary future event. While it is possible that the police treat this as someone who may pose a... View More

The gun laws in Maryland are much stricter than in Virginia. You will need to retain counsel to represent you. An attorney will be able to explain the law and your possible defenses.

If the car was repoed before the filing, they do not have to return it but if it was repoed after the filing, they must return te car to you.

If the car leaves and returns to the location and continues to block the sidewalk on each occasion, a note on the windshield might suffice. If the car has remained in place for some time, the better approach might be to call the police and report that the car is seemingly abandoned and/or, if... View More

Hopefully this occured around some typical peers or other witnesses who can speak to what actually occurred. You need to get statements from those individuals ASAP and get them to commit to appear at the evidentiary hearing. Merely having a written statement will often not work as that is... View More

If the District Court judge did not set an appeal bond then he can get out upon paying the appeal bond simultaneously with noting the appeal and paying the appeal fee. You can’t note the appeal for him though. Either he does it or his lawyer has to do it. If there’s no appeal bond set he can... View More

If you received probation before judgment, it can be expunged now. If you were convicted of 4th degree burglary and did not receive probation before judgment, you are eligible for expungement 10 years from the end of parole or probation assuming that you otherwise eligible for expungement.

Way too soon. It’s been what, a month and not quite a half? Of a 3 year probation? You’ll just anger the judge.
