Short answer is no as presumably these are 2 separate incidents. That said, you should try to involve an attorney or group of attorneys who will work together on both incidents in order to provide you the best outcome. Use the Find a Lawyer tab and search for criminal defense/civil rights/1983... Read more »
He is constantly running away and tries to jump out of the moving car. Can I handcuff him to me to keep him from running off?? Is that legal?
A caseworker states false affidavit then resigns the judge denied cross examination or a continuance when I had factual evidence contradictory to caseworkers statement and affidavit

This would depend on the details and the specific reason the court made that ruling. Did you have an attorney or were you trying to represent yourself?
She lives with her mother, I just want to know what her mother’s options are at this point because law enforcement says since this girl is 16, actually has the mentality of a 12 year old there is nothing they can do to make her come home.

Unless you have a guardianship of the child it would be up to her parents to take action. I would say calling the police would be the best place to start. The parents should also consult with a family law attorney asap to explain the situation in full detail and that attorney can then explain any... Read more »
Me with my testimony at my second jury trial. Who do I go through to get the whole transcript for my first trial
answered on Dec 9, 2020
The court appointed attorney should be able to get you a copy of the transcript.

The short answer is that if the current tenant has no lease then there would be nothing to stop the church from raising the rent. This is a matter of contract law, so if the church wants to enter into a contract for lease at a higher monthly rent, they surely can do so. However, to be sure you... Read more »

The Civil Rights Act of 1991, 42 U.S.C., sec. 1981; et. seq. [including section 1983] is probably the law to be used. That Act adopts a state's statute of limitations period for personal injury claims as the time limitation. The issue being: in which state did the imprisonment first occur?

The State has to prove that you knew or had reason to believe that the item you bought or received from someone else was an item that was stolen, embezzled, obtained by false pretense, or was from a robbery. However, there is what is called a rebuttable presumption in these circumstances. That... Read more »

I would have to see your contract, but it appears as if they did not follow the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. They cannot threaten criminal charges, or negotiate in my opinion negotiate for further payment only to repossess. You need an attorney to look at the contract and then potentially... Read more »
If I’m driving and come across a group of protesters who then decide to start trying to bust out my car windows and pull me or a family member from the car. Can I then use lethal force to defend my property and self and family?
answered on Jun 1, 2020
As a general rule you cannot use deadly force unless you are in fear of imminent harm to your safety or the safety of one of your family members typically. If you have an opportunity to flee or avoid the dangerous situation, you are required to do so as long as you can do it safely. You can’t... Read more »

Normally, law enforcement can take possession of a dog if hasn't been inoculated, spayed, or neutered, or if it is "at large", has bitten someone, or is deemed dangerous, and yes, at least under Tulsa Municipal Ordinances (Title 2, Section 109), there are reclaiming and impoundment... Read more »

Sounds like you are suggesting someone either has or is trying to reach out to an alleged victim to get them to drop criminal felony charges. Not a good idea at all. Anyone who does so Faces the very real risk that the alleged victim might contact authorities and say they felt pressured. In that... Read more »
I went to court unrepresented, the judge was upset with that and locked me up. I do not recall any formal reason from him other than that.

most judges are reasonable and quite tolerant in terms of giving you time to secure private counsel to represent you if you bond out of jail. I suspect the judge gave you more than one chance to show up with an attorney and you were either unable to secure one you could afford or you refused to do... Read more »
The falsehood was a flat out lie that I had no business at the courthouse on day in question.

Obviously, we would like to have the police take this more seriously and to investigate more thoroughly, but that doesn't seem to be happening. One possibility is to go to the county sheriff instead of the city PD. Another possibility is to file a civil suit for damages and file a protective... Read more »
