Spouse had wife own businesses while she was alive because he had "no credit", got huge loans in her name as guarantor, sometimes under false assertions about losses (SBA EIDL), acted as manager in member-managed LLC without being a manager or member, after 23 years of marriage used... Read more »
Your description requires a series of follow-up questions, but other than the car registration, I don't see anything that is likely to excite a prosecutor. There may well be a question of undue influence or competence at the time she signed everything over to him, but you will likely need to... Read more »
For electronic monitoring instead of prison, I was denied because she doesn't have jurisdiction since she sentenced me. Who can I talk to about it now.
Federal court is very strict with procedures and Home electronic monitoring should have been requested at sentencing. If the sentencing judge has lost jurisdiction, there is little that can be done, particularly if the appeal time has passed.
my last theft was from 3 years ago and all I had for this new theft charge was a necklace and nothing else.
Its almost impossible to answer this question in a vacuum. There are too many variables. You say your "LAST" theft charge. You didn't say your "only other" theft charge. If this is your third or more theft charge, there is a higher probaility of at least SOME jail time.... Read more »
I am active duty and live in Virginia where open carry is legal. My question is, a lot of establishments ban open carry unless you’re law enforcement. I’ve seen different things online, but are we still technically law enforcement?
Neither the Commonwealth of Virginia nor the federal government recognize you as a law enforcement officer. You don't have the ability to arrest or do any of the other things that are unique to police powera. That having been said, this is really more about the rules a private entity has set... Read more »
My sister and her husband are going through a bad divorce. He left two weeks before the birth of their last kid. She has the house. He filed taxes jointly, and the federal return came to the house. She held it and they came to an agreement on how to spend it. It was only in a text so nothing... Read more »
I would recommend taking the copies of checks you have along with these facts to your local magistrate or police department to discuss the options of pressing charges.
Does an underage felony conviction prevent firearm ownership for the rest of my life?
At this point, now that you are 29, you should be able to purchase a firearm as long as you weren't convicted of certain violent offenses. You can actually follow up with the State Police to ask them about the firearms form because they run all background checks for firearm purchases. here... Read more »
Sounds like they are putting pressure on you with the hopes that you cooperate with them. Call a local criminal lawyer to understand the liability you are facing. There is not enough information in your question to get any meaningful advice here.
I was given a plea bargain in 2003 the law was changed in 2005 which is a harsher punishment
You can't.
The office ia at the jail and I was thinking all I need to do is bring a print out of the script instead of the pills them self
Ask your probation officer whether you should bring the pills in their container or whether you should simply bring a pharmacy printout.
More than one legal issue regarding the trial of case. However most important issue is the plea agreememt was to plea guilty to two misdemeanors instead of 2 felony charges. Just got a letter about not voting rights, so looked up charge online. Court said plead guilty to a felony. I have plea... Read more »
Sounds like it could be a paperwork error. You need to have a lawyer file a post-trial motion on your behalf to make sure the court's records are correct.
My boyfriend signed a lease on January 11 for a rental property starting on February 8th. The property is a condo with three other adult renters on the property. On January 27th he was convicted of a felony in North Carolina for Grand Larceny, this crime occurred over a year and a half ago and he... Read more »
Assuming the credit application and the lease do not require a disclosure about a previous crime, he may not have to disclose it. I would need to review all the documents before I could tell you for sure.
I wasn't present on the scene of crime.
In most jurisdictions, you never need to provide information to police. But don't lie or mislead the police, that could get you in trouble. Politely tell the police you were not a witness to the crime, you were not involved in the incident and your only involvement was to call the police to... Read more »
No attorney will take the case they won’t even look into it! All remedies filed up to DC. Bivens filled now waiting defendants to be served. We have substantial evidence the member of staff was dismissed due to misconduct. My friend desperately needs help to bring this lawsuit to court. None of... Read more »
I regret that I do not handle criminal law or sexual abuse cases. Sorry.
Am I in trouble for Fraud if I leave the founder role in the small group? I'm one of the founder who DOESN'T have any access to the money. There is about $7,000 in total and money comes from people and sponsors. Money is used to put up the website and set up something for member to talk... Read more »
Your question is not clear. If you are saying that $7000 is missing from the group, then you could be charged with fraud if they can show that you took the money. If they cannot show that you can access to the money, then you probably won't be charged. Of course, if you helped someone take the... Read more »
If 2 people wrote false accusations on a person and one of them dies what happens with the deceased statement
It is hard to give a definitive answer. The general rule is you have a right to confront your accusers. However, there are exceptions to this rule. The rules of evidence where the case is brought will govern. It can depend on the type of case it is, and the nature of the facts surrounding the... Read more »
If a person was convicted of a felony outside of VA, the person will need to look at the law of that state to see if the conviction can be removed. If the felony was committed in VA and the the person was ultimately convicted, under current VA law, that felony can never be removed from the... Read more »
She was coming from virginia, she is a friend of a friend agreed to bring 2 husky puppies because she was basically fostering them and couldn’t keep them, she said she would bring them once I had fencing set up for them we agreed and went and bought fencing kennel and told her she said she would... Read more »
You can sue her for the extras on the grounds of detrimental reliance. But you'd have to sue her there, go down to court there. May just be as you were set on getting two pups to look around and get one you like for starters and leave that issue be.
Im being investigated for a felony crime
It depends. If a condition of your probation for a sexual assault conviction is to comply with everything your probation officer requests and she/he requests that you take a lie detector test and you refuse, it could be a problem. In that case, you need to speak to the attorney who represented... Read more »
My boyfriend was arrested at 4am for a grand larceny 200$ or more. And destruction of private property <1000. His bond was immediatly set too 4000$. Would he be able to get out on the weekend or have to wait till a weekday to get bonded out?
You can make arrangements with a bond company and get your BF out if bond has been set. You do not have to wait until Monday.
So, on Christmas Eve, I was caught speeding. He said I was going 81 in a 45, but I THOUGHT I was going 70 TOPS in a 55. That doesn't make it right, but I genuinely had no idea I was going that fast or that the limit was so low.
He wrote me a ticket for reckless driving. It was on the... Read more »
Jail is very unlikely. However, if the reckless driving charge (a criminal misdemeanor) is not reduced to a traffic infraction, it could cost you major dollars in an insurance increase for the next 3 to 5 years. You should also check with the NC DMV to learn what they will may do if you are so... Read more »
