At worst it will be a juvenile case. You should likely speak with a lawyer if that occurs.
My spouse told me if I filed she’d sign. She now tells me she’s not signing anything. We have no kids, and no assets at all. Been married 2 years. I’m trying to file electronically in ND, but don’t know what type of forms I need to file as the clerk can’t advise, and self service site... View More

I understand you believe you're capable of doing this yourself, but it seems the reality is that's not going to be possible because: 1) She refuses to sign; and 2) You can't file a divorce uncontested because, factually, it's not if the other person refuses to sign. You should... View More
Was given two citations for driving under suspension at my house without ever being pulled over by an officer.
answered on Dec 10, 2022
Yes, an officer can. Will it hold up to the scrutiny of a judge or jury? That depends on whether it can be proven you were actually driving under suspension.

One was her room n the other room next door was another guest entirely unrelated to the case. Was the warrant legal for two rooms looking for Jane Doe’s... View More

Not enough information, an attorney needs to see the totality of the evidence to determine if a motion may be filed.
I have been stalked by a woman who has called my employment costing me my latest job. Has made multiple calls to police trying to get me arrested, and she will boost about how she is going to ruin me. Im so tired of this person can I do anything to protect myself?

Yes, you can ask for a restraining order if you can show that you are facing credible threats.

Civil forfeiture is generally a separate proceeding if you're contesting it - but if they outright stole your money and are wondering what will happen the real answer is nothing unless you do something about it. What would you do? Likely ask the BCI to open up an investigation.

Automatically? No. You should be highly concerned, however, of any potential criminal ramifications this may have.
Does it matter if the parked vehicle is occupied?
answered on May 13, 2022
A North Dakota attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. In general nationwide, the driver who hits a parked car is usually at fault. The fact that the vehicle may have been parked in an unauthorized space does not usually remove blame from the moving vehicle. The... View More

Maybe. This is too detailed of a question for an attorney to answer without having first seen the evidence in the case.
answered on May 2, 2022
Here's the better question: is that the only basis the police had for the search? Even if it was an illegal search, illegality will not be found just because you want it to be found. Instead, you will need to compose, file, and argue a successful motion - which is difficult for any... View More

You likely need the squad car video to determine if there was an illegal search and seizure under the US Constitution. Even if there was, you cannot simply orally tell the judge about the issue - you have to make a motion, which is difficult to do if you're not an attorney.
answered on May 2, 2022
If the judge ordered it, then yes. However, you have the right to a bond review hearing.
answered on May 2, 2022
You should likely try to negotiate something called a deferred imposition of sentence if at all possible.
I ddnt hv ins and i wsnt drunk but smelled like alcohol. Recklesd driving was my ticket
answered on Feb 18, 2022
When I am helping clients fight trucking accidents, the first thing I ask is which party was liable. Being cited for reckless driving does NOT mean you will necessarily lose your case. The best way to determine if you have a claim is to call an attorney like myself who handles injury cases.

I'm very sorry for the loss of your father. Your question remains open for two weeks. At this point, you could reach out to law firms that handle product liability/wrongful death matters involving pharmaceuticals. The firms that handle such cases are often large, and they often handle multiple... View More

Hard to tell. In North Dakota, you can serve a lawsuit and file it later. So you could be sued before the person or company suing you files it with the court.

A defensive driving course can take points off your license. However, this will not get your DUI-related suspension reduced. Your best bet may be to get a temporary restricted license while you're waiting to be eligible for renewal.
