My ex-lawyer advised me to plead guilty to get into drug court (Zanex) because he said, "everyone gets into drug court once"!

Also lack of urgency by my lawyer to obtain video tape of police assault and lack of obtaining Police video/audio... Read more »
You can try
If you withdraw it, can you win?
Police miscondiuct of the nature you describe is not a defense to drug possession
I bought a car off of my ex while we were together. Unfortunately, I never got a written contract or payment receipts. I only have text messages of him saying he will sign the car over to me soon, me asking when he'd sign the car over to me soon, and practically begging for him to sign the car over... Read more »
If you have text messages showing that you paid him for the car and requesting that he give you the car, I would recommend filing an action in small claims court seeking your money back. The text messages will help you prove that you and your ex had entered an oral contract whereby you offered him... Read more »

My brother died in Dec who has a settlement agreement with AIG and large sums due in 2020 and 2025. I dont know how the agreement was written up. I am the administrator for the estate.
As an administrator, you will have to go on a fact-finding mission to get the information you need. Sometimes the decedent will keep important records such as a settlement agreement in a file somewhere. I would recommend conducting a thorough search of his house to see if you can locate it. If you... Read more »

I showed him my insurance, but was late in finding it as I was not able to search the insurance in my phone immediately. He said he gave me a warning. I am not... Read more »
If a ticket has a court date it is not a warning. I suggest a lawyer as the penalties for these tickets especially the no insurance ticket is very severe. Unfortunately you are required to show the officer your insurance proof when he arrives at your window, he/she does not need to wait for you... Read more »
My daughter is in college and I moved further away from her school so she is staying with her dad bc he’s closer but she still comes to me on weekends and stays with my mom one day a week. Can a judge stop child support or reduce payments bc she’s not with me full time now
Yes, with a motion based on changed circumstances, your child support will be reduced. The main thing is that your daughter's college education is being paid.

"Every motor vehicle registered in this State which is used over any public road, street, or highway or any public or quasi-public property" it says I have to use the vehicle, but it was parked and not in use.
Yes you can, it is not a violation that requires your car to be moving, only present.
Court date and he didn't. He didn't have the 100$ and then she put out a warrant wit a bail of 1002$. The judge held the bailbondsman original bail and was ordered to pick him up in philadelphia and this is nj where all this is taken place can they even accept him at the jail for this
Not sure what your question is here but I don't see anything improper done by the court. As I always tell my clients never owe money to a court it just gets you in trouble

Eventually, you will need to complete Form I-864 Affidavit of Support. If your income doesnt meet the threshold, you can include a co-sponsor who will have to show the necessary minimum income by way of tax documents/w2's etc.
My daughter got a summons and has to appear in court in 2 weeks in South Hackensack, NJ. She was on her lunch break and trying to find a Chipotle. Tapped her GPS on her phone which was affixed to the dashboard, so hands-free. She was coming to a stop at a light when she did this. Not sure if it... Read more »
The answer is Maybe the law states that you may turn on or off a function are they following so it would depend on what she was doing and what the officer believe that she's doing. If it's a third offense definitely hire a lawyer if it's a 1st or 2nd it's cheaper to pay it
More information is needed but generally you have two years but that would also depend on who your employer is so speak to a lawyer.

Best to ask the lawyer that have led your case as he should know the answer.
I was trying to avoid 2 points for the speed ticket that was $85. They reduced it to unsafe driving I pleaded guilty for. I ended up paying $439 that included a $250 surcharge. I don’t have any points in the prior 3 years and no ticket. Can the court/prosecutor do this? Just trying to see if I... Read more »
You pled to a no point violation, but it does include the 250 surcharge. If you appeal, you will.wind up with the points.
I am from New Jersey and this was the first time I’ve ever been pulled over and the first time I’ve ever gotten a citation.

You can get the ticket thrown out if you provide a defense what you have said does not amount to a good defense, but you can try.
This same person paid rent then decided to leave without notice and wants rent money back
You need to hire a lawyer to defend that charge otherwise you risk jail, probation and fines.
Unfortunately I don't see a question here.
