Being disabled does not give you special leasing privileges. However written or oral notice to leave does not give possession to owner. A Detainer Warrant being filed, served and granted judgment upon is necessary first.

You likely need a lawyer for this. If you have fulfilled the requirements of the law at the time of your conviction you may be able to get your license again. If you were required to have an interlock device on your car and did not, you might have to do that and get a restricted license while its... View More

If the will is not probated it has no effect, including sister not being an executor. If no will then you might be an heir, so a recorded Affidavit of Heirship might help (both as a source of title and to get the power in your name). Hire an attorney to determine heirship and draft an... View More

From the facts stated, the LEO conducted his stop properly. You are lucky you were not arrested.

Very often they take them as evidence of crimes, so yes. If you are not charged with a crime, then you can ask for them back or sue the LEO for conversion.
I had an officer demand mine for the ticket and threaten to detain me and impound my car if I didn’t give it. I’ve been driving over 30 years and this was the first time I’d ever had an officer even request it, let alone threaten to cuff me and put me in his car. Then when he gave me the... View More

Whether to cite or arrest you is the LEO's discretion. So if you do not cooperate, he may arrest you. The SSN is available from the Department of Safety. Hire an attorney to represent you as you have already made the cop mad.

No obvious conflicts shown. It sounds like he is practicing law in an area he knows well. Hire your own attorney.

That is not employment related, but organizations can govern themselves. If some organization guideline or handbook rule has been violated, then the offended member/former member can assert his rights under those rules. But Tennessee Law rarely applies, and Court action rarely interferes.

Documentation is usually Heresay, but leads to Witnesses. Husband needs an attorney to represent him, so hire a competent one. Having charges in multiple Counties is difficult and expensive, as reaching a disposition in one Court just puts in jail in another County. Whatever he has been doing... View More

The most important witness is the plaintiff as to both the cause of action and damages. It is doubtful you could prosecute the case. Alot of what you have is heresay, even with the declarant dead.

It is always worth getting an attorney for any criminal matter.
The leasing office did not call them. They still have the moving truck and will not release it. The police was called but due to this being a private company, there is nothing further they can do. Any suggestions?

Figure out who the defendant is, and how to serve them. Sue in General Sessions for either Action To Recover Property and/or Conversion. Might want a lawyer.

Either retain an attorney to file a Civil Rights Suit or forget about it. Obviously you do not have the training to prosecute such a suit, which probably has to be a GTLA.
She has stolen packages on several occasions, one such even caught on camera. She also left threatening letter tacked to our tree

The criminal offense we call theft in Tennessee can be prosecuted by your county district attorney. You will want to reach out to that office to move forward.
answered on Jan 1, 2023
Anytime you get arrested, it should be taken seriously. You should definitely get a competent defense attorney working on your behalf with the district attorney in this case.
I was not on parole/probation; I received my rights back in June of 2020; I’m being charged with a class b felony or a c right now; I’m hoping it can be mended down to a class e which carries 1-6 yrs @30%.

That would be a very large reduction in the criminal charge. Hire a competent TN attorney to represent you.

Sometimes, but the charges must be dismissed. If Bound Over or an Indictment rendered, then it is almost impossible. Hire an attorney that knows what a GTLA action is.
