I entered into a settlement agreement, placed on record with a US magistrate judge. The government has written up a proposed stipulation. It has several pages of legal jargon and agreements that are not on record, and I do not agree to. I refuse to sign. He filed a motion to enforce the settlement,... View More

The issue is whether what was placed on the record and presented in writing is substantively the same. Often times, what is placed on the record is material terms of the agreement; the written agreement will contain the additional "legalise" that make it all work. Unless you can show a... View More

drugs found in a pill bottle in a purse and make up bag. I was the passenger of the vehicle and the driver had 2 Xanax on him. The car was mine. The needle cap is not in evidence.

Had to say without reviewing the complete record of the stop and what else was going on with the driver. May be ripe for a motion to suppress. The fact the car was yours doesn't necessarily mean anything since you weren't driving.

You may be able to work with an employment law attorney on a contingency basis, meaning that if you win the case or are able to settle, the lawyer's fees come out of the money awarded to you, but if you lose in court, you don’t owe the lawyer any fees. You may have a case that a... View More

Best thing to do would be to call your local legal aid office and let them tell you whether it's something they would accept.
Generally, legal aid offices do not take "fee generating" cases. Think cases that lawyers would typically take on a contingency fee basis; yours is... View More

This is something that a Michigan attorney could advise best on, but your question remains open for four weeks. Title IX is a federal law that requires schools to have a system for responding to allegations of sexual assault. It applies to schools that receive federal funding. Good luck
I have video that proves every cop lied on police report.that got me convicted?
answered on Nov 13, 2023
Did you have a trial? A police report itself is not evidence, and unless you have video of the police lying about an element of the crime or probable cause, you may be out of luck.
Nothing stolen, car window broken w/ knife (confrontation over past incident of fraud/assault)

Are there two victims? I could see these charges with two or more victims. Would be impossible to tell without seeing police report.

A Michigan attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for four weeks. A criminal attorney should advise on this, to prevent any violation of laws involving impersonation or related crimes. Good luck

A Michigan attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. It's possible it could involve HIPAA laws - you could try to set up a free initial consult with health care attorneys or repost and include that category. Good luck

Are you being prosecuted for anything? If so, you should address this issue with your attorney. If not, then it's up to you whether you want to file a complaint with the police department.
