I actually thought my car had been stolen from Wal-Mart parking lot while i was in jail that night. My aunt finally found out that it was at a different walmart. That is how bad my memory is along with many other issues bc of my brain injury disability
If you mental capacity was in question at the time of the event (the theft) then I suggest hiring an attorney to talk to the District Attorney and request a mental evaluation . Good Luck!
and received a ticket but the officer didn't ask me to sign it on the paper or on an electronic device. Does that mean an automatic dismissal in court since i wasn't asked to sign? Thank you
No. That is only an acknowledgement of the Citation instead of Arrest. You will need to go to Court in a respectful manner. Be polite about the lack of signature.
We had a handshake agreement for buyer(long-time friend) to pay for a commercial van. 2009 Chevy, agreement was $3500, 500/month, never paid. He was supposed to transfer plates and insurance to his name but didn't, so it is still on our commercial insurance. We do not have contact with him or... Read more »
You should be able to get DOS to issue a new title certificate in the purchaser's name. Ask your County Clerk first, then call Nashville. Once issued send a copy to your agent, and try to deliver the title to the owner. Also that is probably a lease with option to purchase transaction,... Read more »
Good samaritan law .could exigent entry be made saying defendant had past history of destroying evidendc3... 3weeks later
Not sure of your question... But the defendant's attorney may be able to file a Motion To Suppress Evidence obtained by an illegal search. It is difficult to prevail and he needs a competent attorney.
Brother was sole beneficiary among myself and 6 other siblings.feel will was coerced undue influence on mother who was in Alzheimer status
In my opinion no... Besides blowing the SOL, there are practical matters to consider. Witnesses will be nonexistent now. And most importantly, the real and personal property is almost assuredly gone by now. I recommend you do a title search on any real property to see if any title problems can... Read more »
A Tennessee attorney could answer best, but your question remains open for four weeks. As a general matter, if it was a public campground with park rangers having jurisdiction in the area, they probably could for a justifiable reason. For a private facility, it might depend on the facts -... Read more »
he waived his extradation right and still have not heard a word about what is going on
I would contact his attorney in NC to see if he can find out. That seems to be taking an extra long time to extradite him but it could be because of COVID as well.
Police officers cannot turn on their emergency lights when they stop to help a motorist. Officer D turned on his when stopping to give possible assistance to Al, who was parked in his van on the shoulder of the road. He saw a beer "in plain sight" and he subsequnetly arrested Al for... Read more »
So reading this I think it would depend on the reasoning of the Judge to why he suppressed the evidence and whether the same reasoning would then apply to say a dead body.
There was a court date earlier this year but it got cancelled due to covid 19. I was told they had court 2 weeks ago but I was never notified about it. Is this illegal?
Apparently you knew of the suit against you. It was your responsibility to check with the Clerk to find out when Court was. You could file a motion to set aside the Default Judgment, but I do not recommend it.

A lot more facts are needed to analyze whether or not you should be classified as exempt. However, your situation does sound similar to cases we have handled in the past. There is an issue with the amount of money you are making that broadens the argument for your employer. If you are improperly... Read more »
The judge dismissed the case, stipulating one year of no other moving violations. I have had no other violations since 2012, so can this TN county still levy $100+ court costs now, to “settle the case” as they claim? I have received no other communication from that court in eight years! And if... Read more »
If the Citation was actually dismissed, then no points go to the MVR. But you apparently misunderstood the Judge, or the Clerk is mistaken. Either way you will have to pay those monies now, or it will be reported to DOS and they revoke your TNDL.
Received a FTA because I had court dates mixed up.
You probably mean capias warrant. Hire a competent attorney to take you to Court when you are not on the Docket to set aside the capia and resolve everything. Have money ready to pay the costs and fines. Most likely you will walk out of there.

Boyfriend needs a competent attorney today. DA is worst than some felonies. He should not plead guilty under any condition except diversion.
Civil suits usually do not involve incarceration, unless there is a post-judgment asset discovery problem. I recommend you go to Court, if for no other reason than to make sure the judgment reflects a correct amount and all payments. That judgment will be against you for a long time, so deal...

Yes, file for your naturalization. You should hire an immigration lawyer and be represented for both matters. Eight years? There's something wrong with the way they handled your case. Good luck

You are not ready to sell anything, and if the Note and Deed of Trust is not serviced, the property will be foreclosed upon.

Find an employment lawyer near you to discuss these issues. Consultations are covered by the attorney-client privilege so you would not need to be worried about counsel knowing your identity. But much more information would be needed to determine what, if anything, can be done for you.
I had to leave my apartment suddenly with my infant due to a domestic situation that turned violent. The apartment complex has now turned me over to collections. Can they do this if the apartment was rented quickly after I left?
The short answer is, yes. If you broke the lease then you would be responsible for any damages that were not covered by a security deposit. They have a duty to mitigate by getting a new tenant. But even doing that may not have covered anything you owed on the lease.

If you won a judgment then you can start the collection process. You have the ability to garnish wages, bank accounts, and levy real property. This can be a time consuming and arduous process. Consider hiring an experienced collection attorney to assist.
