Is there a wrong and right way to ask for discovery?
If you are charged with a crime that carries the possibility of a jail sentence (any felony or misdemeanor), it is in your best interest to hire a lawyer. If you are indigent (you do not make enough money to afford a lawyer), one can be appointed to represent you. You should go to your first court... Read more »
Parked in front of parents driveway on dead end street for church on Sunday. Arrived about 9:30 for church which started at 9:00. Car gone when leaving and found to be towed. No one at church or home called in car. Report from police to release car says call made at 8:13. I was still at my home.... Read more »
You would need to check the borough ordinance for your city or town however generally it is never acceptable to park in front of a driveway even if it is your own.
New tenant in the building is telling people who work in my office they are not allowed to stand in front of their office on the first floor. We have an awning on the building that protects from rain. I am not impeding the flow of traffic or talking to anyone. I work in the same building on a... Read more »
Depends on how the lease defines that space. If it's part of the public entrance, anyone can stand there. Your employer may want to suggest to the landlord some alternative or approach the business owner on the first floor.
It depends. It is best to consult an attorney as soon as possible who can assist you with the specifics of your circumstances.
We are glad to assist you. Contact us whenever you are ready.
I wish you well.

How long after an Officer walks out of the meeting do they have to resign? Can they just be absent with no notice if they are staying or going.
Your post remains open for five weeks. At this point, you could consider contacting an employment attorney, possibly one who is familiar with protocols for municipal employees. Good luck

Get yourself a good lawyer to reduce the penalties you face with your new charge and your old charge which will now come back to haunt you. Just remember the old saying a good lawyer is never cheap and a cheap lawyer is never . . . as they say in life you get the quality you pay for
Was charged with this and on a conditional discharge
That means you face the full penalty of your new charge and will be kicked out of the conditional discharge for your original charge and face those penalties also. I suggest you set up a consultation with a good lawyer to give yourself the best chance of avoiding the full penalties you face.
I was pulled over by Millbrook city officer after I had crossed under the interstate 65 exchange and beyond the first red light you come to when you cross into Prattville on highwAy 14.he pulled behind me at the red light and when the light turned green turned on the blue lights.I don't believe he...

Venue is the legal term for where a legal case can be tried. If the crime and arrest were outside the city limits jurisdiction of the Millbrook officer, then your criminal lawyer can file an appropriate motion to dismiss the charge for improper venue.
A small TX county sent me a postcard saying I had an outstanding criminal case against me pending. Called the county and was told their software was updated so all outstanding tickets were being pursued. No warrant yet, drivers license eligibility is still good. Need to find out how far back TX DPS... Read more »
Yes, a 15 year old traffic ticket can still be prosecuted even if the citation was issued in your maiden name and you are now married. The question is: were you the individual who was issued the ticket back then, regardless of what your name was or is now. Request an abstract of your record from... Read more »
I was traveling in Manhattan through subway and someone outside the gate told me he had an emergency and wanted me to open the emergency exit for him. I was unaware of his real goal and let him come in but then I realized this was wrong. No police or staff was in that station at that time and no... Read more »
For the most meaningful analysis of your situation, a New York criminal defense attorney is really best suited to advise you; you could repost in that category. But as a practical matter in light of your awaiting an answer on this board with concern, you would have likely been stopped right then... Read more »
Yes, the person who has an arrest warrant can be arrested in the house they share with another person, whether that other person is on parole or not.
I'm sorry this happened to you. Unfortunately, based on the brief facts, there doesn't really seem to be anything there in terms of a legal cause of action. Good luck

This sounds like something that an employment attorney might be more likely to know than attorneys in the posted categories - if there is a possibility the issue is addressed in a collective bargaining agreement or other employment-related contract. Municipal or administrative laws might not go... Read more »
Your question is too vague to permit any analysis. What laws?
YES. UNLESS THERE IS SOME OTHER TYPE OF DETAINER ON YOU LIKE A PROBATION VIOLATION HOLD OR PAROLE VIOLATION HOLD.

I am the plaintiff. I have excellent proof. Is there any way I can get prosecutors to change it to Superior Court?
Prosecutors have the discretion on whether to keep the case in Superior Court, or downgrade it to Municipal Court. You can provide your proof of loss to the prosecutor and request restitution, or you can file a claim in special civil part to recover your damages.
I’m still in high school and I live with my mother
Sure. Take what is "yours." And if you take something that is not "yours," or she claims is not "yours," she could file a police report for theft. Not a good way to start out being an adult when you turn 18. Can you prove those items are "yours." Do you have receipts? Since you are asking... Read more »
These phase was in my background check for my court dates
"Anno" means the case is scheduled for an announcement setting, and "nisi" refers to the status of the bond posted in the case. "Nisi" is not good. Call your lawyer. Good luck.
Generally a case like this would be downgraded to municipal court because the proofs against the defendant are weak. Prosecutors know that the conviction rate in Municipal Court is much much higher than in Superior Court especially for theft charges.
Theft by deception charge, Middlesex County, NJ. Thx for your answer. However, it is actually being heard in Municpal Court, NOT Superior Court. The charge is for the Amt. Stated. Why is it being heard in Municipal Court?
A very big difference in Municipal Court you're only subject up to 180 days in jail and up to a thousand-dollar fine. However the amount taken must have been under $200 to be in Municipal Court. Amounts taken over $200 and up to $500 is in Superior Court and subjects the offender to up to 18... Read more »
