You should meet with an attorney in person to discuss this. I'm not sure where a civil rights violation comes into play but I'm sure you'll have more information to present if you meet with someone in person.

Yes. And presuming that you're referring to speedy trial rights when you say "the 180 day rule."

Not if they are asking if you need special allowances made. I wouldn't start off the examination for a profession by looking to sue the examiners. Suggest you contact a Mental Health Law Project and ask them.

It seems like you're responding here to an answer given by another attorney previously here on Justia - but what was the original question?
Regardless, you're going to be hard-pressed to have any attorney here on Justia "second guess" your existing attorney who knows... View More

Honestly, it sounds to me like you and your wife need to sit down for a detailed in person consultation with an experienced family law attorney. I'm sorry but some of what you said here doesn't make a lot of sense, complicated by the lack of punctuation I suspect, but even with periods... View More
Property was seized from home over a month ago. The search warrant was issued based on false, misleading and theoretical evidence. No charges have been filed.
How do I petition for return of property and dismissal(quash, invalidate) of the warrant?
answered on Dec 12, 2018
Your best bet is to hire an attorney, and have him/her contact the police to find out what their intentions are with the property seized, and whether they intend to file any charges.
If you'd like to discuss this matter further, I do practice in Bucks County. Feel free to contact me... View More
What does this mean to the plaintiff who represents self?
answered on Oct 22, 2018
With no context to your question, I have no idea what it means either. But it does seem to mean that you're not doing a bang-up job representing yourself, right?
Strongly consider seeking at least a consultation with an attorney -- and probably hiring him or her -- for your legal... View More

If you can show there was an injury. Technically you do, but whether it's worth bringing depends on whether there was an injury. Contact an attorney for the county where it happened.
I would like to report anonymously as well, would that be possible?
answered on Oct 1, 2018
You can "report" anything. Presumably you're asking, however, is such conduct illegal? It could be, as corruption of a minor.
The police will almost assuredly want your contact information, although you could tell them that you're uncomfortable giving it and... View More

I had a vehicle. While it was in my possession I made payments. When the vehicle was obtained by the buyer he stopped payments and would not return the car to me (co-buyer).

The optimum time to seek legal advice is before a contemplated deal, like transfer of an asset, is done, not after.
With your payments toward the vehicle, and your "co-buyer's" lack of payments, you were legally entitled to claim the lion's share of the equity in the... View More

It's someone arguing -- by taking snippets of state and federal court decisions -- that U.S. citizens have an unfettered right to travel, and that the "right to travel" cannot be regulated or curtailed by any sort of government.
I say, "good luck with that one."

Unfortunately for you, yes. A private establishment can generally "ban" your entry, yes -- so long as it's not because of your race, gender, etc.

Best of luck to you.
