Q: I was issued a ticket for fishing without a license. Later changed it to purchasing a license while license is revoked.

So they never saw me fishing to begin with, and then later the next day called and changed my ticket and sent a picture of it through text message. I never signed the ticket or purchased a license since the website wouldn’t allow me to log in. Can this be dismissed?

The fact that the ticket was sent by text message without your signature... View More

If a judge has issued a no-contact order for witnesses, it generally means that the person charged cannot have any contact with those who might testify in the case. Even if you don’t want to be a witness, you might still be considered one if you have information relevant to the case. This is why... View More

While airline security checks may not always directly flag bench warrants, there is a chance that law enforcement... View More
