Felonies do not override lesser charges. There are usually two judges, common pleas and municipal, with two separate sentences for what you were found guilty. Sentences can be run concurrent or consecutive depending on the judge and facts. If the cases are related you have a shot of getting the... Read more »

I am not certain there is a requirement for insurance, however if the coroner does obtain insurance, either the office of the coroner or the parish in which the coroner is located would most likely obtain the insurance as there is no requirement that each coroner be insured by the same insurance...

So I asked this question prior and it was removed so I have no idea why. I found an abandoned vehicle in a parking lot that I frequent. The vehicle is clearly abandoned and it’s down bad. Tags are many years expired, I contacted police and they said it’s not their problem. I’d like to contact... Read more »

Since the vehicle is on private land, that landowner possesses the vehicle. The statutory procedures for acquiring title to abandoned property (including vehicles) would help you only if the vehicle were on public land. See Florida Statutes Chapter 705 at:... Read more »
In April of 2020 I bought 2 preowned vehicles both combined equaling to 12 thousand dollars.

Into multiple different homes. This is also in a MUD district. Tenant law says 3 days to fix. Who's responsible?

answered on Jan 20, 2023
“Into multiple different homes” sounds like this is a municipal utility problem and not a landlord problem.
The landlord would ordinarily be responsible for the section of plumbing from the dwelling to the main sewer line.
This sounds more like a blockage in a sewer main... Read more »

The water co (Cal. Public Utility District) refuses to shut our account down even though the house has been red-tagged and cannot be lived-in. They continue to bill us for the basic fee even though the bill shows zero usage.

A California attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. In addition to your own searches, you could use the tab above, Find a Lawyer. Also, most state bar associations have a section for attorney referral services on their websites. Good luck
I injured my back while riding my atv and had to call an ambulance to get to the hospital since i couldn't drive.

Yes they can charge you even up to a year later for criminal cases in Municipal Court. That being said I would suggest hiring a lawyer you may have a defense in this case. Most of us criminal lawyers offer a free in office consultation, I would suggest that you set one up.

An Indiana attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for four weeks. Until you're able to consult with a local attorney on specific local laws, it could be up to the establishment. It's possible they could object for health, business, or other reasons. Good luck

If I entered a gated community, in Florida that has no trespassing signs, but did not enter anyone’s private property only hanged out on the communities playground and did not leave when asked by a homeowner is that considered trespassing?

answered on Jan 4, 2023
Absolutely! Gated communities have private streets that are owned by the community. They do not need trespassing signs. The fact that there are gates are your notice you need to be an owner or invited into the community.

A Louisiana attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. Nationwide, such activity could trigger regulations in terms of fire & safety codes and environmental codes for unlawful discharges on waterways. Check with a local attorney firsthand to avoid problems. Good luck
What does the law specify about who may collect & take my garbage to the dump?

answered on Dec 28, 2022
The question depends on local ordinances. Google the Town of Valley, Alabama for information about arrests relating to garbage collection. It will likely be the subject of both civil and criminal matters. If you have a case, you should contact a lawyer for specific advice. I wish you the best.
If you are in front of the driveway opening it is visible looking from the street, but anywhere else you wouldn't be able to see the house numbers. I want the privacy. The trees are 10-20 ft tall. Can the city make cut them down in height? I'm in Syracuse, NY.

answered on Dec 22, 2022
Dear Syracuse Home Owner:
It would help if you provided the section of the e-code with the violation cited by the inspector. There are many reasons to make a house number visible from the road before driving past the driveway, especially for emergency vehicles looking for your house in the dark.

Security guards cannot tow vehicles. Only licensed towing companies can lawfully tow vehicles.
Anyone can ask someone not to smoke weed in a public park, including security guards.

How can I get the title back in my name and out of theirs?

answered on Nov 22, 2022
Your only hope is to sue them, but I don't know what you'd allege. When you signed the title to them, voluntarily, it became their car. I know this was all verbal. See an attorney and expect to pay a good amount for someone to take your case.
