Can my lawyer appear for me in the state of Missouri?
answered on Aug 26, 2019
Yes, a lawyer may appear for you at the initial call docket hearing so long as the lawyer is admitted to practice law in Missouri. My answer is based on the assumption that the case is not set to be tried on the next court date. If it is, and if you plan to testify, it would be wise to be there.... View More

FYI: The "Judiciary" does not "prosecute" anyone. The judiciary adjudicates legal disputes arising between people and brought in various civil courts--and in some situations the judiciary also hears and decides criminal cases brought by state and federal prosecutors against... View More

I now live in Oklahoma. The business in is Missouri, where I lived when I worked there. I have asked for my information to be removed so I will stop getting daily calls and emails for her company. She refuses. It has been since Dec. 2018.
answered on May 17, 2019
You didn't ask a question. If you want to know what you can do, my first answer would be to request the removal of your information. But you've already done that. Hire an attorney to write a letter demanding removal.

Tell the local cops what highway patrol said or ask highway patrol to straighten him out. Towing is a racket and they are allowed to charge huge amounts for nothing.

If there are no court orders giving him custody of the children, then yes, you can go get them. It's a civil issue because it is handled by the civil and domestic courts. Police generally don't like to get involved in domestic matters. So unless he is physically restraining you from the... View More
i moved out of my moms 6 moths ago and she has threatened me to either come home or she will send me to a mental hospital until im 21, even tho i am mentally stable.
answered on Jan 31, 2019
You can't put anyone in psychiatric facility if they are mentally stable; it's a doctor's call to admit someone for treatment, not a parent's decision because they're mad at their kid. It just doesn't work like that. She can however, report you as a runaway and send... View More

This is more of a question-answer board. Try reposting your question with some additional details and hopefully an attorney could pick it up to provide some direction after seeing the basis of a suit you're contemplating.

Only a Missouri licensed attorney may represent another party in court. If you file on his behalf you’d be committed a misdemeanor, the unauthorized practice of law. Time to hire an attorney.

You "have a case" if you are willing to pay an attorney thousands of dollars to file and litigate the suit for your son or if you can convince an attorney to invest his or her time in the matter on a contingency basis. Contact a couple of attorneys and see if you find a taker under the... View More
i sent them an acceptance with condition only to be dishonored by them refusing to produce original contract
answered on Oct 8, 2018
You didn't ask a legal question. You did not unconditionally accept the offer but rather made a counteroffer, i.e., you would pay if they produced the original contract. I don't know whether they responded by validating the debt, even if the document was not what you requested.... View More
