What can I do? What does this misdemeanor mean will happen to me? Go to court date?
If you are convicted you will be assessed a fine and points on your record. You may want to consider a diversionary program such as the traffic education program which is offered by most solicitor offices.
Thank you answering my previous question about my brother and his victim's family. His victims family members wrote the clerk of Court and the solicitors office stating that they request a time modifications and/or any relief the court may grant.

This is an information sheet provided on SCPPP’s website regarding the criteria that is considered in the granting or denial of a pardon or parole. I don’t know of anyone that does this work on a pro bono basis but you can certainly reach out to the S.C. bar or S.C. legal services to see if... Read more »
Absolutely. You will need to contact your local law enforcement agency and file a report so that they can start an investigation. You can also file a civil matter in Magistrates court to get your dog back from the person.
August 8-I was in an accident. The FR 10 form and Traffic Collisiom Report put the other party at fault

A South Carolina attorney would be best suited to answer your question, but it remains open for three weeks. As a general matter, standard motor vehicle forms (depending on the jurisdiction - it's not a sure bet) sometimes contain information on their reverse sides on how to file for arbitration...

Your best bet is going to be to contact law enforcement where the scam occurred and let them investigate.
My Brother was convicted of murder in 1995. Since then, the victim's family has written the judge and solicitors office to have his sentence reduced or pardoned. Can or do the victim's family have this authority since the solicitor is their attorney? Letter of forgiveness was sent in to the court... Read more »
As a former state prosecutor I have never heard of a sentence reduction based on the request of the victim through the court system. Your best bet would be for the victim to contact the department of probation parol and pardons to request a pardon from the governor.
I went to the ER. They drug tested me and i didnt know until DSS came knocking on my door saying i was drug tested and was positive for weed. Me, my daughter, and boyfriend all did drug test and DSS came back a month and half later to let us know my daughter and I are negative but my boyfriend... Read more »
The Department of Social Services has a lot of power so it is very important to contact a local family attorney where you live so that they can intercede with the family court on your behalf if needed.
SC Code 15-51-20 states that the proceeds of a wrongful death action shall go to the spouse or children. Assuming that the child is under the age of majority the proceeds will have to be placed into a conservatorship for the benefit of the child. If you have not contacted and attorney yet that is...

Marijuana was purchased from a middle schooler by an adult at a middle school. It is my understanding that a 1 year old was in the car during the drug deal on school property. The marijuana was brought to the adult's home and smoked with a middle schooler, and the 1 year old was in the home while... Read more »
There is no statute of limitations in SC on the distribution/purchase of illegal drugs so there is not a set amount of time to report. That being said, unless the drugs are still in existence this is a case that would be very hard to prosecute.
He is on the car loan as primary and I am the cosigner. He has his own car and I drive and make payments on this vehicle. The insurance is also in both of our names. We lived together for 12 years.

If you are married you need to file a matter in family court to deal with all of the custody and property issues between you. That being said, absent a court order if both of your names are on the title to the car you have equal rights to drive the vehicle.
I filed for divorce in June. The plan was to serve my ex via publication. However, mysteriously out of the blue his "fiance" contacted me, offering to file for the divorce and pay for it. I already filed. She insisted the papers be served to my husband via email instead of publication, "so it would... Read more »
It sounds like you have an attorney so he/she is going to be the best person to advise you on your steps going forward. Your attorney knows all the facts of your case.

It really depends on what the current custody situation is now (is there a court order granting you custody or is there still just a DSS safety plan) and if the father is a fit parent. At the end of the day based on the amount of time that you have had the child and the substance abuse that you... Read more »
Is there any way to keep them from going on my record ? Like a class or somthing ?
One option is called the Traffic Education Program (TEP) which is offered by most Solicitor’s offices in the state. I would recommending calling the solicitor in the area that the ticket occurred and they can explain to you the program requirements.
My rent was only 11:50
Your lease should lay out what late fees may be assessed. Many leases have terms that charge a fee per day late.
It really depends on the language of the lease. If the tenant knew about the issue and failed to notify the landlord the tenant may have some liability as well.
Numerous mobile home units are neglected from repairs. There are units with water damage, units that are rotting, units that are literally falling apart, and huge pest infection throughout whole MHP which in some units living point blank is impossible. Yet homes still get rented out.
The most appropriate agency to report these issues to would be the local housing authority or code enforcement depending on where the mobile home park is located.

Then you need to call a criminal defense attorney in your area to arrange a consult. While I do not know the allegations or potential facts, generally speaking I wouldn't talk about the case with anyone until you can retain or at least consult with an attorney to get some advice on how to proceed.
