He reversed and pushed my car out of the way with his car. Then when he was able to get out, he backed up and hit my car again before driving off .

It could be any number of charges.
For starters, for the damage to your car, get estimates and send them to your insurance company.
You would need to change the title. See if your state has a small estate process for situations like yours. Short answer is yes.
I was hurt an seekingbrecovery now their attorney wants my cellphone records
If it s relevant , but only for the day and hour at issue.
My significant other, who has questionable reasoning skills, at best, due to a major stroke, paid cash (quite a bit) to a “friend” for an “antique” vehicle. (As a matter of fact, I have durable POA.) When attempting to resell the vehicle, it was determined the vehicle does not match the... Read more »
You are right. It's up to them to give you good title. Otherwise sue them for the money paid.
Unfortunately, in these types of situations, once the plea was accepted by the Court, then it became almost impossible to take it back, since a plea is an acknowledgement of guilt.
Girlfriend stole it from mother but was seen taken out of his wallet in Dollar general
If it's a misdemeanor charge, there is a good chance that a lawyer could work it out with a prosecutor to where trial is avoided and the charge does not go on your record. That being said, if you had nothing to do with the underlying crime, then you should seriously consider taking it to trial.
We had put my stepson on the account in the event something happened to us he would have access. My husband passed away suddenly and within a matter of days my stepson had taken entire amount and will not speak to me. Is there anything I can do to get my money back since he was on the account. I... Read more »
This is a classic case of do it yourself estate planning gone wrong. It might be theoretically possible for you to recover the money, but you will have to sue your stepson to get it back, and you will have the burden of proving that the money was yours and not his. You did not say how much money... Read more »
Biggest concern is how does one know if they are entitled. My last name references many land patents in MS.
I am sorry, but patents in intellectual property deal with inventions, and not land patents. You are going to have to ask your question in the real estate group.

I owned up for possession of marijuana which was mine. The driver didn't own up for his pills and neither did I, but I got charged
First, be very careful about any information that you put on a forum, even this one. As to your question, it is very typical for law enforcement to charge everyone with possession of a controlled substance, especially if they cannot pin it on one particular person. The problem that they will run... Read more »
I have small children and I can't go to jail
Many judges across the state have a policy a mandatory jail time to serve, even on one (1) first offense lifetime shoplifting charge. 1 is serious enough, but 3 will surely raise red flags with the court. My advice is to contact a criminal defense attorney to discuss options.
It really depends on the underlying crime. That being said, it may be best for you to consult with a private lawyer to go into more details about the allegations so that you can see what potential time you might be looking at.
If you feel as though there is a crime that was committed, your best bet is going to be to go to the local city or justice court and file a criminal complaint against the person. That being said, depending on the circumstances, you may also have a civil case against the person for not doing their... Read more »
It depends largely on the dollar amount for the underlying charge. Assuming that it is high enough, then it very well could carry a 10 year sentence; however, since it is non-violent crime, the person charged may be able to avoid jail time. Regardless, it is in the person's best interest to... Read more »
I was asked to give a recorded video statement and I want to know if I can ask them not to use this in court. Do I have the right to withdraw my statement entirely?
It really depends on the circumstances; however, I'd be curious to know whether your husband has been indicted yet. Assuming yes, then he needs to get with a lawyer immediately. Regardless, if you gave a false statement to law enforcement, then that is something that should be disclosed.
Video statement. I do not want this used in court anymore. Legally, can I tell them not to? Can I withdraw that statement entirely?
It really depends on the circumstances; however, I'd be curious to know whether your husband has been indicted yet. Assuming yes, then he needs to get with a lawyer immediately. Regardless, if you gave a false statement to law enforcement, then that is something that should be disclosed.
Unfortunately, you can be; however, there is definitely an argument that the case should be dismissed due to lack of a speedy trial. I would highly encourage you to reach out to a criminal defense lawyer to talk about the details of your case, as a motion for dismissal hinges on very particular... Read more »

Based on the facts described in your question, there seems to be an opportunity to try to establish self-defense; however, ultimately, it... Read more »
It really depends on the circumstances. Are you talking about if they are picked up on those charges or if they are convicted.

I got checked out and have an antibiotic. May need to get rabies vaccine if I don’t have proof that this dog was vaccinated. I contacted the owner and she is stalling and lying to me about everything it seems. I am nice, but I did nothing wrong in this situation.
You may have a case against the dog owner, especially if the dog had previous indications of being violent. If that is the case, then you could potentially sue the owner for damages, to include medical bills and vaccinations. I would highly encourage you to reach out to a personal injury lawyer to...
