Maybe. There are three considerations.
The dog must be an actual trained service animal. The dog must pass the “public access test” and show it will remain focused on your son and his needs even in a crowded and busy airport. The dog must fit on your son’s lap or in his seat’s... View More

I was charged with a domestic that I did not do can that be overturned in the state of Tennessee and can she file another report of the same kind of incident in the same county
answered on Jan 24, 2023
Yes, of course she can. While it is frustrating to be the subject of false reports, the police are not going to assume one report is false just because a previous one was. After all, doing so would be tantamount to concluding that a person who lied in one report couldn't possibly be the victim... View More

Because such claims are rarely successful and very expensive to pursue, your best strategy is to offer a significantly higher hourly fee backed up by a six figure retainer to persuade a competent and experienced attorney to take such a case.

Judges only accept or deny pleas. They do not make them. The defendant is the only one who can plea to their guilt or innocence.

Your mother can sue the family member with the POA if that family member has exceeded the scope of authority granted in the POA. Alternatively, your mother can revoke the POA if she does not want that family member acting on her behalf anymore.
