The car wasn’t registered yet, but I had the title, which was made out to my mother, and showed it to the cops before the search. They took the title and the car. It’s been a month and they aren’t giving it back. I told them on the scene that it was my car just in my mothers name trying to... View More

We can't tell you why the car has not been released as we don't know the police's side of the story, but it may be because they can't release an unregistered car out of impound in most cases.
The police came back the next night accusing me of making false report because apparently my ex boyfriend was driving the car and had gotten into an accident. I allow him to use my car when he needs it but in this particular day I did not know that he had the car as I thought he was out of state.... View More

This sounds important. But it is difficult to answer this question online because more information is necessary. If it is as important to you as it sounds, then you will want to contact a private attorney to discuss this in more detail.

It depends. Currently, Oklahoma v. Castro-Huerta, a majority of five justices sided with the state of Oklahoma, finding that state governments have the legal jurisdiction to prosecute non-Native citizens for crimes committed against Native citizens on sovereign tribal lands.

I can't answer this question; this is not a question about any aspect of an appeal.

A person always has the right to remain silent with the police. Yes you can sue her, but many attorneys won't take this type of case unless you pay them per hour.

To be held in pretrial detention is ordinarily not part of anyone's plans. Nevertheless, more information is required to develop the arguments for his release. In the meantime, if your friend very much wants the court to order pretrial release, then he will want to give careful thought to... View More
My 16 yr old is being detained because he admitted to a criminal act but not everyone involved in the incident was questioned yet. Also, the weapon in the complaint is not what my son admitted too - and the complaint document was shown to us after he was detained.
Is this process correct?
answered on Aug 21, 2022
The short answer is yes a juvenile can be detained for a criminal act he admitted to even if everyone involved was not questioned. That being said that does not mean that the police didn't do something wrong in the investigation and you should definitely hire a lawyer to determine this and... View More
He was supposed to go to a hearing on Thursday but for some reason they did not have it. Also by any chance can the money we already paid the current lawyer be transferred to the new lawyer?

The form already filled out. Can I just get two witnesses inside to sign or how would I get something notarized while incarcerated

Logistics will require coordination with prison/jail security. Generally speaking if one is serious about the execution of a power of attorney or any other estate planning documents, then one ought to seriously retain an attorney to draft and oversee the execution of the instruments.

As long as your camera is legally entitled to be where is, it's perfectly fine to photograph or record whatever is in its line of sight. Certain things are illegal, recording people using your bathroom facilities, as an example. Otherwise it's not a problem.
