First, I am not a North Carolina lawyer. That being said, I think--unless there's an exception in NC law that I don't know about-- the filing of any appeal does not automatically stay the ruling or any order in the trial court (or any agency, etc.). The appellant must file a motion to... Read more »
I was at university during the spring and once covid took over, I was online, it was difficult for me to resist the temptation to quickly get an answer. I tried my best to learn the material correctly but knowing I could just look it up made it difficult for me to learn properly. I blame covid... Read more »

I don't have a direct answer at all. But, just so you get a sense for how school staff treat students involved in disciplinary actions (these mostly deal with a spectrum of sexual behaviors) check out all that I regularly blog about. You may well come out with a view that whether or not you... Read more »
I've asked couple of questions that my attorney will not answer. I'm in North Carolina,my disability case is very important to me. Example of 1 my questions- Do I need to get my current Dr to write a letter or fill out any paperwork for my upcoming disability hearing?
Attorney- I... Read more »

It would be best if a North Carolina attorney advised you, but you await a response for four weeks, and the whole matter may be moot by now if you already had the hearing you mention. But as a general matter, attorneys should be able to share information with clients - their role essentially makes... Read more »

There is generally a $175 court fee to file for an expunction. The fee for an attorney's assistance is going to range depending on whether you're entitled to statutory relief (will automatically happen depending on your age at the time a crime was committed and the age and nature of the...

specifically, how long you were in school and what classes you took.

It's generally 3 years full-time, or 4 years part-time at night. Some schools have accelerated programs. Depending on the institution, you take mandatory core courses that generally include contracts, torts, constitutional law, property law, criminal law, wills/trusts, legal writing,... Read more »

In North Carolina, just like making a u-turn, you are allowed to turn right on red if it is safe to do so and not marked that you can not do so.

Is there some way I can . . . (fill in the blank with what ever legal issue you have). Yes, there is - hire an attorney who knows what they are doing. If you had transmission trouble and you aren't a mechanic, you'd never think to yourself, you know what, I'mma pull that sucker out... Read more »

GREAT QUESTION
In large measure, it depends on what the Court of Appeals Orders. It may send it back to the Superior Court (or District Court if a Family Law legal matter) for further findings. It may result in a re-trial. It could result in the imposition of a Judgment and it could end... Read more »
My roommate on probation I carry a gun her p.o requires her to move I'm disabled and need the help she provides can I get such an order for her to live in a house where some one else is armed ,

More information is likely necessary to answer the question. It SEEMS like the inquiry is whether the Probation Officer can require the person on probation to live somewhere where there aren't guns.
That's certainly an interesting fact-scenario, especially nowadays, when... Read more »

Read more »

First, lets get terminology straight. In North Carolina it is Driving While Impaired or DWI not DUI. If you got 12 months of active time on the first DWI that you were on probation for then it is very likely that DWI was not your first and / or was a higher sentencing level than your average...

Probably not, but we do not know enough facts, and you needed an attorney back when you asked this question.

You needed an attorney back then. When you ask a question on a forum like this, it is understood that you need to actually seek out legal advice from an attorney.

This was asked well over a year ago. When you need legal advice, you need to go get it from a local attorney instead of waiting for someone to answer a question. I hope you have found an answer to your question. Basically, appeals are very limited.

Yes, if an appeal is even possible.

Were they transcribed and made a part of the record?
If you feel like the court appointed lawyer didn't do all that they could have is it possible to hire a new lawyer and get back into court

Yes, but that depends upon the actual facts, and there may be post conviction relief available. In order to find out, you have to have a full discussion with a private criminal defense attorney.
