First, the question needs to be asked by the prospective client needing the representation. Second, it needs to be asked of a French advocat rather than a US lawyer, and Justia is only visited by American lawyers. Third, this presents no International Law questions, but is best presented to a... View More

It's hard to know the whole story here. I suggest that you obtain private counsel to help you with this problem. If you can't afford a private attorney, then try Legal Assistance or of the advocacy groups in the Pittsburgh area that offer legal assistance at low or no charge.

Check to see if your local municipality has regulations for unauthorized parking on private property. Generally you have to post a sign that states no parking - unauthorized cars will be towed.
Contact the police to see if they will have it towed. If not you will have to have it towed and... View More

Likely not, but I could be wrong and it is not good to discuss such things on public websites. I suggest you contact the pennsylvania Civil Liberties Union, ask for their prison rights group, ask them for the names and phone numbers of their "cooperating attorneys." They give free... View More

Probably not. I wonder if you might consider being a bit more sympathetic to your grandparents. You say they're health isn't good but they're still providing you with a home to live in, food to eat, and clothing to wear. It may be pretty difficult for people their age to deal with a... View More

I'll admit that I have no idea what you're talking about. Are you saying you got sent to jail for failure to pay child support, but didn't have the ability to pay? Are you saying you got arrested after a domestic dispute that turned physical? Apologies in advance, but let's... View More

Yes, a PA State Police trooper can pull you over for violations of the Vehicle Code -- like a cracked windshield. They have jurisdiction to do so throughout the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

If the police issued a warrant for my cell and their probable cause for the search IS A LIE, can the whole thing (case) be thrown out? Do I have a right to know my phone records are being searched? Do I have a right to know WHAT was found during the search?
answered on May 22, 2018
If you are charged with a crime and there is a search warrant involved, you will get a copy of it -- as well as the inventory list of items seized -- from the District Attorney's Office when they forward their "discovery" to you. That happens at the Court of Common Pleas level, and... View More

Normally, for cases in a Court of Common Pleas, you've got 10 days to file a post-sentence motion after the date of sentencing -- and that could include a request for a new trial. If that post-sentence motion is denied, you've got 30 days from the date of denial to file an appeal to the... View More
My ex won't give me my belongings so I am suing her for $10,000. Can she do a cross complaint for emotional distress, lost wages, financial burden and storage of my. Property for 12,000

Sure. She can also sue the Pope, and Mickey Mouse, and Darth Vader. Anyone can sue anyone for anything -- the question is whether or not she'll be successful.
Here's my suggestion: see if you can work it out with your ex. As part of that, tell her you'll be calling the... View More

I have a history of this local CYS agency harassing me for 5 years and getting unfounded after unfounded statuses on abuse claims called in?
answered on Mar 26, 2018
Your question is unclear. If you're asking can CYS place your children in foster care because they were not going to school while living with you, yes, they can. If you're adding that the reason they weren't going to school was due to bullying, not sending them to school was probably... View More
Can my boyfriend sue his ex for lying to him about his biological daughter after 17 years? And now his ex wants him to pay back child support for the past 17 years. What should he do? Thanks in advance.

I don't see that he has a cause of action against her for not telling him about his daughter. Unless she filed for support against him years ago, she's only entitled for support from when she filed for it. So, if she filed in January, 2018, for example, any support that would be ordered...

A few kids were hit with a dustpan by a teacher. The principal did an investigation but I don't know what the outcome was. I called the school district and was told someone would contact me in 24-72 hours, this was 4 days ago.

Technically that was a battery. However assuming that the physical injuries are relatively minor, depending on what was going on jurors may not be too impressed. A good starting place is the Education Law Center in Phialdelphia.
