Q: Hello, I currently bought land and the owner before stated the septic tank was on the property.
Answered on Mar 6, 2019
This is too complicated to answer without reviewing your contact , any disclosures and the closing documents. It may be that some misrepresentations were made during the sale, and if so, you may be entitled to rescind the contract ( give the land back and get your money back) or alternatively, you might be entitled to damages. Consult an experienced litigation attorney soon.

Q: My b/f turned18 this year, I’m16. We been dating for about a year. Our parents allow us. Can he get in trouble

Q: What to do if a true copy of indictment was never signed two of your cases was dropped. Can you still be locked up.
Answered on Jun 18, 2018
You have an attorney
Why have you not asked your attorney?
Without ALL the facts and other information it would be impossible to advise properly.
It would like going to a doctor solely with the urine test results and then asking how one's health is.
I guess if 2 cases were dropped, you should continue to fight the others
Q: foster kid (dep/neg) ran aways after 17, got caught with drugs & ran away again. what happens when she turns 18?
Answered on Jan 22, 2018
If she was charged with a delinquent offense, she can face juvenile court consequences until she is 19. If she wasn't charged, she still could be. She should contact an attorney to see if the charges can be resolved. She should also know that anyone who is helping hide her from DCS could face criminal charges.
Q: What can I do if the DCS says that I failed a drug test. But when my Dr. did a blood test it came back negative.
Answered on Jan 4, 2018
You should hire an attorney to represent you. If you had another drug test that came back with a different result, then the court and DCS need to know. If you had custody of the children or want custody of the children, then you really need a lawyer to help you.
