I am not aware of any disability from running a TN non-profit entity. If you already formed it, then apparently the TN Secretary of State has no problem. Since it is from another State, noone here may know about it at this time, and who would want to remove you anyway? You might look into... View More
They have hacked my phone and have access to my contacts. They call my gas stations, bank, everybody. Even my friends from school. It's a crazy amount of funds and effort spent on a nobody like me. What course of action should be taken

It is not clear from your question whether you know the names of individuals who have committed and continue to commit these actions. At the same time, you indicated that they make phone calls, respectively, it is possible to identify these persons by their phone numbers. Having determined the... View More

Its hard to answer this without lots more detail, but you need to talk to a good lawyer right away.

This is a public forum. You need to consult an attorney that knows exemptions and can read the Judgment of Conviction. Do not talk to anybody else about this.

It won't be turned over to civil but it is part of your probation to pay the restitution and they will extend it until it is paid. I would ask the court to waive any additional probation fees though.

It depends on the facts of the case, your criminal history and the DA's and victims' positions on jail time. Generally, in the beginning of the pandemic, courts were leaning away from jail sentences and were letting a lot of people out of jail on already-imposed sentences. Now, though,... View More

First I am not a Tennessee lawyer. That being said, generally a party (civil or criminal) has 30 days to note an appeal, with the bond accompanying that. That's 30 days after sentencing date, whether your lawyer notes the appeal or you do. But I think that an appeal in a criminal case does not... View More

Need more info to answer the question. What kind of case? There are jurisdiction laws in every county. Depending on the type of case, there's subject matter jurisdiction, personal jurisdiction, and venue. Facts are important.
I also need to know about the true time line do they have to have my case in front of a jury
answered on Dec 4, 2019
You need an attorney. But the case will likely be tried before a jury as is the defendant's right unless waived. Without knowing the actual charge, the facts of the case, and all other factors that go into a defense, no one on a forum will be able to provide you with an answer as to how you... View More

I would suggest that you consult and hire an attorney for his case as soon as possible.

There may be more once the DA discovers more evidence or receives it.

Maybe General Sessions Judges and Magistrates talk among themselves, but you are not going to find an official guideline to Bond amounts. Both of those are higher bonds than most, so apparently the Defendant is viewed as a major burglar. His lawyer might move to lower the amounts in each County,... View More
