Your current state is Virginia
We purchased a home in McHenry, IL and back up to a major roadway. We have dogs and kids and want to put in a 6' fence and not give up 30' of our yard. The restrictions are on the plat but nobody knows who owns them to have them removed. The restrictions are:
1. Fencing is... Read more »
Based upon your description, it appears the City is/would be cooperative with your ultimate goal. It is likely the restrictions were put in place by the developer, perhaps based upon zoning or right of way issues. I would think the City should be able to work with you to develop a solution. I...

Not a good idea to use a BB gun for anything other than target practice. Probably a municipal code violation if not a penal code violation.
Justia disclaimers below, incorporated herein.
Your inquiry is too vague as to the "interference" you are referring to.
I'm a law student from Mexico, and I've been wondering how E.E.U.U. regulates wills and testaments, and I would like to know where is reflected, I'll be very grateful if you can answer my doubt.
You could repost your question in the Probate and Estate Planning categories. There's no guarantee all questions are picked up, but those categories are closer to the topic you ask about. You might have better chances of a response there. Good luck

I live in Florida and cannot travel to Puerto Rico, my cousin lives in Puerto Rico and can handle the land and house my father left when he died in June 2020
This sounds like something that an attorney practicing in Puerto Rico could advise best on - you may want to repost it there. But you await an answer for three weeks. As a GENERAL matter, jurisdictions could have their own requirements for POAs. But as a general matter, it can SOMETIMES be at the... Read more »
It looks like part of your post may have gotten left off - that's probably why it remains open for four weeks. There's no guarantee all questions are picked up, but if you included what the law you're talking about is, a Chicago attorney would be in a better position to offer... Read more »
This is a business/industrial area without a lot of foot traffic, but there are many people that must take the bus and then walk or ride their bike to work from the bus stop. The company stores pallets near the sidewalk and drives their forklift onto the sidewalk, backing up without looking to see... Read more »
If its a violation of a Municipal ordinance, you can ask the police to patrol and cite. The employer may also be in violation of workplace safety rules, so you could make a complaint to Cal-OSHA and it might investigate and require modification of the workplace practices.
Preventing deprivation not possible. Need authority to cite if it exists. Trying various search terms for many days. Car booted while awaiting payment of fines, tow ordered 72 hours later, but payment processing center not open and no other means available. Tried to make payment while boot attached... Read more »
IS THIS FOR CALIFORNIA?
I received a ticket for petit larceny and showed up for court but the officer that wrote the ticket did not, do I still have to pay the ticket? South Carolina
I would need more information in order to answer this question. Did you request that the case be dismissed when the officer did not show up? Did you enter a plea to the charge? More information is needed in order to answer your question.
The abandoned office is in Charlotte NC and was their only NC office. There is nobody here to receive the summons. Their HQ is in GA, where we know the summons will be received. I tried to file but the small claims clerk led me to believe that serving the HQ in GA would be problematic and out of... Read more »
You cannot file in small claims court if the defendant is not a resident of the same county. Your only option is the district court, sorry.
The area of town in which I live in has very badly maintained roads. The city has started repair on roads in another part of town where the roads are in good shape. Ours have been neglected for years and are not only dangerous, but our property values are not increasing at the same rate as other... Read more »
A Florida attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. There might be more effective less costly methods of trying to bring attention to the roads of your community. One option could be to reach out to your elected officials, starting out at the local level. Such a... Read more »
I live in Oak Hill Florida. I have a 42 foot boat moored to my dock in my backyard canal. i have lived here about 25 years and have always had a big boat and kept it plugged into my electric to keep the inside integrity of my boat good and free from mold.
A Florida attorney would be able to advise best, but your question remains open for five weeks. If a statute is cited in the prohibition, you could look into the reasoning behind it. You could research the statute or consult with attorneys who are familiar with the priorities and goals of local... Read more »
I was in an accident about a month ago (hit by a car as I crossed the street from sidewalk to sidewalk while biking home). I was knocked unconscious for a brief period and woke up to cops around me looking at me with flashlights. I was asked if I wanted to go to the ER in the ambulance and I... Read more »

Hire an attorney in Maine to conduct a title search. You have not stated what estate the grandparent had. Once the title is determined, then the heirs at law are determined. Heirship needs to be determined up to the present, and these are owners as tenants in common. A complex Affidavit of... Read more »
I would like to change the laws of the municipality by placing it on the ballot for the upcoming elections.
You must find out whether your city has a process for petitioning to place a referendum on the ballot (also called initiative petition), and if so, what the petition requirements are (method, number of signatures needed, time restrictions, etc.). I would start out by calling the City Clerk's... Read more »

Just paid that ticket from the courts and it was $153 plus $33 court fees. Before me paying that ticket, I got pulled over again for my... Read more »
Hi there,
That sounds frustrating. I doubt you will lose your license. In all likelihood, you will show up at the mandated hearing, explain what happened to the prosecutor and if you can show proof that everything is in good order (ie. license is back in good standing, registration is good,... Read more »
If you don't attend the hearing, the judge will conclude you don't care, and so your mother will likely get custody.
From a procedural standpoint, DCPP gets a call from an anonymous source, school, police department, etc expressing concern for the welfare of a child in your household and it then sends out a representative to investigate. The purpose of the investigation is to determine whether the child is at... Read more »
I'm the plaintiff in a current case against a municipality, the judge and the nuetral evaluator have suggested that I find a contingency lawyer as I have a strong case. We are currently in the process of filing depositions. Held in the Western District state of PA
A Pennsylvania attorney could best guide you, but your question remains open for four weeks. You could use the Find-a-Lawyer tab above to find someone, or you could search online independently. Good luck

In Louisiana, a person has a a right to use force to prevent imminent injury. But the force must be reasonable and apparently necessary. You do not have a duty to retreat.
You must also not be the initial aggressor in the confrontation.
