If you were pulled over for window tint but were not ticketed for that specific issue, it indicates the initial stop may have been justified under the officer's belief that a violation occurred. However, the outcome of being charged with a DUI because of refusing a breathalyzer is a separate... View More

I'm sorry about the loss of your mother. A North Dakota attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. Some questions go unanswered, but you could try reposting and including Probate, Estate Planning, and Elder Law as categories. Good luck

Likely, but they’re going to come arrest you anyway and you’d be better off voluntarily turning yourself in; if you wait the judge will likely notice you didn’t go voluntarily when considering whether to let you out again.

No. If you did not agree to the new six month lease, it is not yet effective.

If your child tested positive for cocaine while in county custody, you might have a case for negligence or other claims, depending on the circumstances and state law. However, successfully suing a county government often involves overcoming various legal hurdles, including immunity defenses.

I believe you are referring to an online educational program that is provided by the state of Minnesota for its taxpayers. If your child participated in this and it was later found out that you are not a resident a Minnesota, I would expect that a criminal charge would be filed against you.

Once the Deed is recorded, that actual document is irrelevant unless someone claims a forgery or fraud. Hire a ND attorney to search the Title and possibly administer the Estate.

That Discharge does not cause a firearm disability. Hopefully you are not on SSI. Try to buy the firearm and see what happens. There may be other events in your life which cause a bad NICS check. If so, you may be able to expunge them. Also you might request to upgrade your Discharge.
