I am sorry to hear of your son's accident. It is unlikely that your son would be charged with assault, and even more unlikely that he would be convicted of assault under the circumstances you describe. The others who were injured may have a claim against your son if he was negligent in... View More

You have a right to the image & or an order forbidding him to release it. However you'll likely have to pay the attorney to get to the order.

- any dirk, dagger, ice pick, slungshot, metal... View More

You can 1) talk to your attorney, 2) hire another attorney, 3) let the court know. This is likely the best order to get a new attorney.

Keep in mind the court is very unlikely to let you change attorneys for reasons of bias (you don't like the color/gender/name of your attorney) or... View More

This is a question that may be better suited for an attorney practicing in Texas as they may have different terms for their programs. The way you entered he program often also determines what you would classify it as. Oftentimes, if a plea of guilty has been entered and sentencing has been set... View More

She can report the abuse to the school; she can report the abuse to the police. Child abuse is nothing to take lightly, regardless of who the perpetrator is. IF she can stop the BF now at age 15, there is a reasonable chance that she can prevent what is otherwise likely to turn into a life-long... View More

Yes, a grand jury only receives evidence presented by the state to determine whether or not to issue an indictment. The individual the indictment is against does not have the opportunity to be present, present a case or cross examine witnesses at that time.

As with any legal question and answer. Things depend on the facts and a lawyer should be consulted to determine how an individual's facts apply to the law.

I will discuss generally the question you ask. Could a person over the age of 18 be charged for a crime if it were alleged... View More

The answer you'll always receive is; it depends on what the charge is.

Traffic offenses usually would result in a finding of guilty for failing to appear; criminal charges would not.

If a person was arraigned and plead not guilty, then subsequently failed to appear at their... View More

Have no clue what exactly is going on here from your rather sparse description. Please go and consult with an attorney and discuss all the details in a private office conference.

"What is the charge" - I assume you are concerned with what type of criminal charges could be brought - and no one is gong to be able tell you that. It depends whether a related crime was committed. Hitting someone could also be an accident in which case there are no criminal charges.... View More

You need to report this to your local police. The attempt to hit you with his vehicle may well be an assault. Generally speaking a person making vulgar remarks isn't going to get in trouble as they do have a right to free speech so this is a tricky area. But a sum of acts that would put a... View More

You don't say if there is already a court order awarding you custody or establishing parenting time. You also don't tell us what the dates are for all these changes. You will have to get this in front of a court somewhere to establish custody and parenting time or to enforce and order... View More

This isn't a comprehensible question.

You need to establish who was at fault by a preponderance of the evidence. That means more likely than not. You also have to prove the decreased value of the vehicle, which usually is the cost to repair the vehicle. If you don't have a witness and there is no videotape of the incident, and... View More

This doesn't make sense. If party "A" gave money to party "B" in exchange for a promisory note there is a secured transaction. If you are saying that the documents listed party "A" as a New York Corporation that didn't exist, the fact remains that there... View More
