The truck my boyfriend was driving got pulled over for being reported stolen. But the owner did not make the stolen report. How do I get him out. Do I tell police the owner did not report his truck stolen. What happens
answered on Aug 17, 2017
You do not speak with the police unless your goal is to give them information that would hurt your case. You pay the bail and your boyfriend challenges the charges.

The bigger issue here is addressing why you feel pressured to enter into this arrangement. The only issue that would arise is if you agreed to a certain level of participation in the LLC or voided some other contract.

In North Dakota, 90 days initially. After that, a judge may issue an order for involuntary treatment for up to one year at a time. Treatment can be indefinite as long as the committed individual is given the right to periodic review and petition to discharge. Other rules apply. I am unsure how many... View More

He said my entire age group is "reckless", stated that he "could have knocked it down but because of" my age he decided not to, and then tried to tell me a story about "a girl your age" who recently died in a crash. I have a perfect driving record, with zero tickets, or warnings of any sort.
answered on Jul 24, 2017
The simple fix is to hire an attorney. My usual approach is to assess the situation to determine if a client has a high probability of successfully contesting the ticket or cutting a deal. Generally, contesting a traffic ticket is not a high dollar case and the cost of doing so is well worth the... View More

Same sex marriages are now recognized by USCIS for green card purposes. I have handled cases like this myself and have not had any problems with the immigration office. The best way to proceed would be to get married and file for the green card, just as with any other marriage relationship. All... View More

We are opposed to any kind of mining - are we able to stop the others given that she co-owns the property?
answered on Apr 5, 2017
It depends on what title you have to the mineral rights. Based on what you've written, you are probably co-tenants of an undivided interest in oil, gas, and other minerals. Assuming this, then no, you cannot stop the siblings from leasing, selling, or using their part of the interest. Each... View More
Can they charge me if it's not my car and I didn't know it was there is that right?
answered on Mar 4, 2017
Yes, that is enough evidence to establish probable cause of a crime being committed. Whether it will be sufficient to prove the specific crime beyond a reasonable doubt is a separate question. I would recommend not making any statements to anyone but your lawyer. If you cannot afford one, you... View More

North Dakota does not have an expungement process. However, if you received a deferred imposition of sentence and successfully completed probation your plea can be withdrawn, the case dismissed, and the file sealed.

The appraisal was completed September 9, 2016 and my mom passed away Sept. 15, 2016. Do I need the land appraised again for my mom's probate?
answered on Feb 6, 2017
The obligation of the personal representative of the estate is to determine the fair market value. There is no state requirement for an appraisal. I think that you can feel free to use the appraised value on September 9 to determine fair market value on September 15.

You should contact a member of the Trial Lawyers Assn for the state where it happened, ideally in the county where it happened. You are in a complex case situation and need a free consult at least.

Ask your attorney whether you can withdraw your guilty plea if you were not accepted into drug court.
I sold a vehicle "as is" and the title wasn't switched over. Now the buyer doesn't want it and wants to return it. Where do I stand as it being sold "as is".
answered on Aug 11, 2016
Assuming that he's not complaining of something you knew about but didn't tell him about --e.g. you knew it needed a new tranny but didn't tell him--then you should be OK. "As Is " protects seller from buyers remorse. It isn't a free pass to sit on
information you knew abouit.
