This is not a job for a criminal law attorney or an employment law attorney. Instead, you should focus on finding an attorney who takes Personal Injury cases or "Section 1983" federal civil rights cases.

The finder of fact determines how much weight to give each bit of evidence. The finder of fact is usually the jury except it is the judge in a bench trial.

Your 11 month wait for a disability decision from Social Security is about what I have been experiencing with my clients' cases since COVID. You can either call Social Security and ask about the status of your case or you can go to My Social Security and check for updates online.

This question is marked Criminal Law but nobody sues anyone in criminal court. It is also marked Legal Malpractice which is a cause of action in civil court, but that is for a lawsuit against your own attorney, not the opposing side. As for Civil Rights, a criminal defendant is entitled to... View More

Look at the deed restrictions, Bylaws and Rules of the association to see what they can and can't charge, and whether there are limits to the increases.

You could ask law enforcement to continue the investigation, but you should reconsider confessing to a criminal offense on a public website.

The Declaration of Independence is an interesting historical document that explains why the colonists revolted against the rule of King George but it does not have the authority of law in the United States. In fact, between the time of the Declaration and our current Constitution a different... View More

Simply filing a motion doesn't help and there is a decent chance the judge isn't even aware of it. You've got to serve it on the prosecution and ask the judge for a ruling on it. Unless it is trivial the judge would probably want you to set it for a hearing. If it is trivial then... View More

Yes, you can take your dog. It's always easier if you can plan your departure for a time he's not there, but if that's not possible, you can certainly call the police for assistance. Good luck!

Not in this forum. If you want someone to review the order and interpret it for you, or appeal it, you'll have to consult an attorney. This forum is for general information.

You can complete an Appointment for Disposition of Remains saying who you want to handle your remains. You must sign it before a notary. The person you appoint must sign accepting the appointment. That person need not be a family member.

The quoted text isn't the law. Rather, it is someone's interpretation of the law, and it is incomplete because the law also includes people who are parents of the same child regardless of marriage or dating history.

In addition to Texas law, you need to be 100% certain that you... View More

A Texas attorney could answer best, but your question remains open for two weeks. The short answer to your question is "yes." I know lawyers in the public sector who are exceptionally skillful advocates, bright, hardworking, and dedicated to their clients' interests. They would... View More

For payment of what? This kind of letter is necessarily very fact-specific. You'll want to be very business like, avoid opinions or characterization of the other party or their actions (or failure to act). State what they owe, what they debt is for, when you expect them to pay, give them a... View More

That sounds annoying but it does not seem like a crime. Perhaps if it happened multiple times it could be viewed as the offense of Stalking (Texas Penal Code Sec. 42.072), but I doubt any prosecutor would go after anyone for Stalking if the behavior was limited to public places where he had a...

That dude sounds like a creep but legally he has a point. Just because a person invites you into their home or onto their property once doesn't mean you forever have a standing invitation to enter whenever you feel the urge.

Consult with a local FAMILY LAW attorney about the possibility of getting a divorce.

Yes, you can be arrested whenever an officer believes you committed a crime. Obviously, that belief might be wrong.

You can only be convicted if enter a plea of Guilty or No Contest or if the prosecution can prove every element of the offense beyond a reasonable doubt. If you were... View More

Anything can be used during plea bargaining, and I do mean anything. It's absolutely normal to bring up a defendant's past criminal record, even when it might not be admissible. I once saw a lawyer use the weather in plea bargaining- and it worked.

Your son needs a criminal defense attorney, and his best bet is probably one with an office in the same county where the charges were filed. It is common for parents to help pay the attorney's fee.
