Is the person arrested 17 years of age or older and is the c/w under the age of 17?
answered on Jan 25, 2022
Depends on the law in each state. However, accepting cash is legal. The problem is whether the deed can be filed, which serves as notice to the world that the person who paid cash for the property is the true owner. The deed should be corrected pursuant to the terms of the written contract of... View More

Your options are to either voluntary surrender on the warrant or risk getting picked up on the warrant by the fugitive/warrant squad. I suggest you see about getting some $$ together to retain an attorney for proper representation.

Convicted of misdemeanor (NYS PL 260.10.01). Certificate of Disposition May, 2016. Have not been in trouble since.

Unfortunately, this misdemeanor conviction will appear on any background check. You may be eligible to have this conviction sealed pursuant to CPL Section 160.59 10 years after the sentence date (provided you qualify).

No. There are certain decisions that an attorney can make for his client. One of them relates to consenting to time to prepare for trial. This is not grounds for a motion to dismiss. It may be a reason to seek alternative counsel however. You should be able to make your request to the judge.
Government cumo said there was a government order that police could not stop or ticket for expired inspection stickers until November 3rd 2020 was this an illegal stop
answered on Dec 15, 2021
If your inspection sticker expired after March 31, 2020, you had until 12/1/2020 to get your inspection. But you needed to go to court to fight it. You could try to reopen the case. Contact a local attorney.
What is the fine
answered on Nov 16, 2021
The fine is not as important as the fact that the charge is either a misdemeanor (a crime) or a violation. Both of which can affect things like financial aid, immigration status or even a job application or interview. The level of crime or violation will depend on whether the trespass occurred in...

You can sue the police officer for excessive force regardless of whether the criminal complaint against you is dismissed or adjourned in contemplation of dismissal. One has nothing to do with the other. Here's an article I found online which you might find useful.... View More

The terms of the trust will govern a lot of it. If the trust has provisions for your lifetime care, you can ultimately petition the court.

If you are on probation, have not been to probation in over a year, and have a new charge, it is highly recommended that you hire an attorney.
I am active duty Army station at Fort Drum, New York. My residence is back in Carriere, MS on the Hancock County side. Is there any exemptment for soldiers stationed away from home? If so, what will I need to do to let the court know?
answered on Oct 9, 2021
There are military law attorneys on this forum who have experience with such matters, and they could answer best. But your post remains open for a day, and it is probably best to take some form of action without further delay. You could show the notice to your commanding officer and request their... View More
We've owned our property for 37 years and he wants us to leave so he can put an Airbnb on our property. Someone needs to help us.

They sometimes hire investigators. Some of the full-service process service companies also handle these types of functions. They can use court records, social media, vehicle registration records, property ownership records and other resources. Good luck

I've been staying there for 9 months my whole body smells like the stuff I've seen four dermatologists and they've said nothing is wrong. I believe it may be some form of secret society group at work. Idk if I go to police if I will be taken seriously.
answered on Sep 1, 2021
I think the best way to be taken seriously and to either prove or disprove your point is to take a video of someone collecting a sample of the water and then sealing and sending that sample for testing to a lab.
Good Luck

answered on Jul 28, 2021
I am not sure what you mean by an independent attorney. If you have retained him, you may simply fire him and hire a new attorney. You should be able to recover the unused portion of your retainer fee if there is one. If your attorney was assigned by the court, you will need to document the... View More
