If your personal property somehow managed to get inside his repossessed car, it’s past time that you and he have a phone conversation.
It will be far less costly, less unpleasant, and less time-consuming than your legal options.
I feel my attorney has waived my right to fair and speedy trial. I have not consented to this and he has not informed me that he has or not.

The law does not require a specific number of days or months. You DON'T have a right to a speedy trial until formal charges are filed, which for felonies means a grand jury indictment... but the clock on the statute of limitations does tick, and that does have a specific timeframe defined in...

Summary judgement was granted in favor of adverse party 6 months after the ADR was supposed to be held. Can the summary judgement be overriden due to failure to comply with the... View More
answered on Nov 5, 2022
It is unlikely the summary judgment will be overridden because the parties failed to participate in ADR.
It might have resulted in postponing a ruling on the motion for summary judgment if it had been properly raised as an issue before the ruling was made. The failure to timely raise the... View More
I feel that my first amendment rights have been violated, as I am non-religious, and have been made homeless by program administrators due to my refusal to attend faith-based events
answered on Nov 4, 2022
The First Amendment protects an individual from government action, not from private parties.
If the program is operated by the government, compelling you to attend faith-based events as a condition of receiving government services is probably a violation of the First Amendment.

No, unless your written lease agreement specifically provides that this is a reason you may terminate your lease early. That would be an extraordinarily uncommon provision.
This is why you never allow other people to enter your unit when you are not home. You should always remain... View More

You can sue an attorney, yes. That is called malpractice.
Judges are exempt from suit because of how they ruled on your case. The best you can do is file a complaint with the Texas Judicial Board, but you need serious evidence. Merely ruling against you is insufficient. Your best way to... View More

While in a normal situation you can buy or possess a gun if you have not been convicted of a felony, you probably can not posses one now. The reason is that if you are presently only charged with a felony, I would bet that either the court or your bond obligations prevent you from possessing a... View More

Unfortunately, if the law allows for a jury trial in this situation, the Plaintiff has a right to request a jury trial and the Respondent (your friend) does not have the right to request no jury trial.

“During the glory days of radio, it was illegal to mimic the voice of the US president.” Was there actually a law prohibiting that? Or was just a White House policy and not a legal issue.
Was it law or policy?

What you are referring to is the Policy of the Government. The 1st Amendment gives you the right to mimic anyone!
