New Jersey Questions & Answers
Q: I have been charged with harassment and trespassing & want to know if the accuser would have to testify in court
Leon Matchin's answer
The property owner can testify about the trespassing but she would have to testify about the harassment. You should stop this behavior towards her immediately. Everything you said suggests that you are obsessed with her and you're lucky they didn't charge you with stalking which is a felony crime that carries serious prison time.

Q: Are there any websites that can be recommended on how to write a ESP statement. I am Pro Se and learning as I go.
Leonard R. Boyer's answer
That is the worst possible way to handle this. Trying to represent yourself in any legal proceeding, especially a divorce matter is unwise, to put it charitably. You need an in person consultation with an experienced matrimonial attorney, who can review all previous legal proceedings and documents. Then the attorney will be able to advise you how to proceed. You need to ask yourself, can I afford not to have an attorney? Good luck.

Q: trademarks question
Nyasha A. West's answer

Further, the filing of a trademark application requires evidence of the mark’s use in commerce. Absent such proof, unless the individual or company attempting to register the mark is using “intent to use” as a basis, the application is not likely to be approved.
