Q: He was deemed mental defect to TN NCIS when he was committed. No court case. Now wants to get a gun, how to clear record
He must file an action where the District Attorney General defends the State's position. It will be difficult but if he does nothing (and within a short period from the NCIS Denial), this will haunt him for the rest of his life. He may not be prohibited from having a firearm but cannot pass the Check, which is not the same thing. He should hire a competent attorney to file the Declaratory Action.
Q: I have a citation for marijuana no badge I'd, no officer signature, wrong address. Can this be thrown out?
You can make a Motion to Dismiss for the Citation not having certain statutory and due process requirements. However the Court can grant it and have you stand there while the Officer swears out a proper Arrest Warrant, which is then executed upon you. Hire a competent attorney to get some type of Diversion or Dismissal, as a drug offense history can mess up the rest of your life.
Q: My parents passed while I was a minor.i discovered that they owned two homes .my brothers are renting the houses out .
You need to hire a competent attorney to perform Title Searches on any potential Properties you might have a titled interest in. If you are an Heir-At-Law, then you can usually force a Partition Sale in Chancery. You should also check Probate in the appropriate County to see if there was an Administration of any type.

Q: If I refuse to go to court on a civil warrant what can happen after that ?
More than likely a Default Judgment for money will go down against you. The Judgment Creditor can then require you to go to Court to give sworn testimony where your money is, or go to jail for Contempt. Go to the Court Hearing.
Q: I’m 17 if my friends went and beat someone up and I went to take them back to the place they beat him up do I get in

You can file a lawsuit, but I advise you to hire an attorney to help you.
Q: I am legally married. But been separated for 3 years. I'm pregnant by another man.Do I have to put my husband's name dow
The real father should sign the affidavit of parentage. It's a terrible idea for anyone to sign a birth certificate for a child they know is not theirs. That just makes things legally more difficult down the road. You can talk to the hospital about these issues and they'll inform you of your options. Or consult counsel.
Q: Can I do most of the talking in court even if I have a lawyer?
