About 2 weeks ago, I got a ticket for going pass a stop sign without completely stopping. I was not speeding (looking for a address, and I have a plus 5 driving record, just had my insurance go down over $30 dollars due to no accidents in the last 5 years, and the traffic was slow on an off from the highway street. How can I plead my case before the judge? (I refuse to pay before court) Could I cite the officer for Entrapment (he was half way down the block parallel to the stop sign I went past.) I need some suggestions. I go to Court Dec.6/07 in Virginia.I need some LEGAL advice about a recent ticket I got.?
Guilty...pay it and be done..past history has noting to do with what you did later....or plead not guilty,go to trial,waste the judges time and make him mad and get a tougher sentence...your choiceI need some LEGAL advice about a recent ticket I got.?
';Entrapment'; doesn't make any sense in this case.
You didn't stop completely, so just pay the fine. If you go to court, and the cop shows up, you will lose. So save yourself the hassle.
You can go to court and take your chances that the cop won't show up to testify. That's basically your only hope. Of course, it will cost you more in the end because you will lose anyway and will owe court costs above your citation cost.
p.s. You can't use the entrapment defense because you would have to prove that the only reason you blew the stop sign was because of the cop. Doesn't make any sense here.
You admittedly rolled through the stop sign! How can you try and pass blame on the officer? What does your good driving history have to do with anything? You're guilty, pay the fine like you should!
plead not guilty on arraignment day...but you will lose...you either didnt stop or you did...if you rolled it you are guilty...as for entrapment,how did he lure you into doing it?..thats entrapment...youre toast

Lanlord / Tenant Rights & Legal Advice?
Hi, I am a renter of a 700 square ft apartment in Lakewood CO. Me, my fiance, and 3 year old daughter live here, and have lived here for the past year.
About six months ago, the apartment building was bought out by a new owner. Along with that came new property management. In late December (2008). We noticed a leak coming from the ceiling in our bathroom. They came out, repaired the leak, patched up the wall -- all was good.
About a month later the patch started to give and eventually fell off the ceiling, the leak had returned. Our Prop. Manager sent out a plumber and fixed the problem yet again. (or so we thought).
mid Feburary (2009) rolled around and we were having major water pressure issues. Sometimes as little as a trickle would come from our faucets. Turns out, a pipe under our sink cabinets leading into our bathroom had disintegrated. (our kitchen and out bathroom are next to eachother -- separated by a wall) So water was pretty much running thru a lined hole, where the pipe used to be. This would occasionally back up dirty muddy water into our bathtub. which stinks horribly i might add. an old mildewy smell.
They sent out a team of plumbers this time (2). They ripped up our cabinets in the kitchen to get under the sink. Had to jack-hammer thru the cement to get to the pipe, dug thru cement all the way into the middle of the bathroom floor -- had to lift up the bathtub, remove tile, the whole shebang.
I was very impressed with their work, they came in, got what they needed to get done, done. It only took them one day. They were very professional about everything, even offering us earplugs for the jack-hammer. (even tho we wouldn't be here ;) )
Our landlord got us a hotel room for 2 nights since we would be without running water. We returned after our stay at the hotel only to find our apartment was unlocked and a couple windows fully opened with the screens removed (no idea why). Nothing was stolen, nothing was messed with. It just looked like the plumbers left and our property manager (who i forgot to mention -- lives in the apartment above us) did not lock up. Even tho she was the only one with access to our apartment (by key) the whole time we were gone. THANK GOD nothing was stolen as we have many expensive electronics here.
So anyways, we returned to a ';gutted'; apartment where all that was left to do would be putting everything back together along with a new floor in both the kitchen and bathroom. And re-tiling the bathroom.
The maintenance man (hired to be the fixer-upper) is a family member of our property manager and is very unprofessional. Always complaining about how he doesn't want to work on any particular day... obviously not what we want to hear. The further they get into repairs, the worse and worse it looks in my opinion.
I honestly would be happier right now with the holes in the wall we had before (after the plumbers left) We've been back from the hotel for a week now. We were told that repairs would take no more than 3-4 days. They came in after we were already back from the hotel a DAY later. Keep in mind at this point we have no sink, no kitchen cabinetry (put together atleast)
We couldn't take a shower either, atleast we didn't want to because of this:
http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m320/hollowlifex/IMG_3242.jpg
we just didn't want to compromise any work that needed to be done.
so we did our dishes in the tub, and took showers at my parents house (20 miles away). We could really use a hotel now! lol.
So anyways, the following day came and the maintenance man would return finally with a friend to help. instead of doing anything with the existing tile, they just threw up a 50$ shower slide. which looks like this at the moment: custom cut by them i might add

The repairs have not taken place in a reasonable amount of time. It appears your landlord is willing to work with you.

Help i need legal advice, or opinions,please.?
Well a little over a year ago i was in an accident, i really am not sure how it occurred because i remember looking back and i did not see any car and when i first put it in reverse we hit. i wasnt sure whos fault it was because it seemed like he hit me. it was my first accident and i was nervous and i told the cop that it was my fault to do what he has to do, i just wanted to leave. The guy put me so nervous and took lots of pictures before the cops should up. I know that was dumb of me saying it was my fault but i did not know what to do it was my first time. Well now he is suing me for 20,000 bodily injury and i do not have my money and geico would only give him 10,000 and he does not want to settle. anyways my question is if i go to the bank where the accident occurred can i ask to view the parking lot tapes, do they keep them?its been so long ago. well any advice will help because i have no one or money to ask someone to help meHelp i need legal advice, or opinions,please.?
i didnt read ur whole story, but from what i read, u need a lawyer.Help i need legal advice, or opinions,please.?
Your insurance company should be helping you with this. They have lawyers on staff that should be advising you. That's what you pay for them for. Make them help you!
My question does not relate or answer your question but do you live in the Santa Barbara area?
If you are backing up, you are virtually always liable. The only thing that would save you would be if the other car had broken the law somehow (maybe like cutting through the parking lot row instead of backing up himself and going around.
No tapes available by now, most places only keep them 30 days.
He is acting fairly typical of a insurance scam at work, call Geico and tell them you're being hosed and to step up and stop payment on the $10K. Once he finds out he's going to get nothing? He'll knock it off and take the money he doesn't deserve to begin with. If he gets in touch with you again don't correspond with him directly, get an attorney. If he already has a lawyer? Let Geico handle it.revlon

A Cry For Legal Advice!!?
Today the police/detectives busted into my house with a search warrent to find anything to do with GPS, Ipod's, Chargers, Etc. Apparantly they think my family was involved in some car looting or something. How pitiful.
They found useless junk like old broken phones, old gps, chargers, my old busted sidekick, yata yata. So they ask me to sign this receipt something about me being a witness to them taking the items for inventory.
First, I denied to sign the receipt, was that a bad/good call?
Tomorrow the detectives would like to speak to my
brother and I at their office, is it a good idea that me and my brother come down to have a word? What should I say?
This is completely unjustified, I thought I lived in America!A Cry For Legal Advice!!?
The receipt thing actually doesn't matter very much, it just means a bit more paperwork for them because you didn't sign so no big deal on that.
If it was me, and I really didn't do anything and my brother didn't as well, then I wouldn't even go to the police station tomorrow unless you were under subpoena or were told there would be a warrant for your arrest if you two failed to be there.
At the very least make sure neither of you will sell the other out or cave in and confess without speaking to a lawyer first.
Remember that NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY, YOU SHOULD KEEP QUIET AND ONLY REQUEST TO HAVE A LAWYER. You do not have to talk with them without your lawyer being there unless they offer you and your brother immunity in writing.
That's what I would do.I'm a pretty smart person, but not knowing your exact situation ( and not wanting to ) that's the advice I give.
EDIT: If you can not afford an attorney, one will be provided for you. So how did the meeting go at the station?A Cry For Legal Advice!!?
That was a bad call.
A good call would be one to a lawyer.
If you say it is unjustified, well, ok, but we can't tell from here. Obviously some judge signed a search warrant. That means the judge thought there was good cause to believe a crime was committed.
EDIT: Wow, you have a really bad attitude. You sound like a liar to me. I'll bet you are going to jail soon.

I want some (legal) advice, who can help?
The college administration lost my assignment so I receive a fail in this subject and now I need to repeat it (Repeating a subject at my college is not cheap).
I've already lodge an appeal letter but don't have confidence to win...as I have no evidence that can prove I have hand in the work. The only evidence I've got is I signed a late work submission form at administration, the administrator should record it but she doesn't!!!
I just think this is ridiculous! How can a college lost a student assignment!
What do you guys think?
Who is responsible?
If I lose, can I send this case to court? Or where can I go to complain?
(Mine is a private college)
Thanks :)I want some (legal) advice, who can help?
Plain and simple, your screwed. your word against that of a professor(probably with a Ph.d) you lose.
Talk to your teacher, and pray like hell.
It might help if you have the work saved in your computer so you can show that you did it.
Good luck.I want some (legal) advice, who can help?
We live in a World of make-believe and you are making believe that there are honest people at the top of the line or that those at the top deserve to be there.
If this is your first fight and you take it on then you will have to fight the rest of your life because the top's got the numbers to label you and keep you down for life.
You are probably now beginning to realise why there are people who will fight the World's most powerful military set-up with suicide-bombing-martyrs.
Somebody's got to stand up against the oppressors and impostors and fakes and if you jump in now you may be a changed being forever.
Free and Legal.
Allahuakbarr!
Without proof you have nothing. I'm sorry to say nothing can be done.

In need of legal advice..parents...housing situation...?
I'm sixteen years old, I live in Illinois. After 20 years of marriage my parents are splitting. My dad has always been a crazy drunk, im surprised my mom lasted this long. Anyway, she now lives with her boyfriend, I live with my dad and brother. The parents are not yet divorced. Mom comes by to see my us every other day or so at least. But my dad is out of control. All he ever does is scream at me, and I can't stand it. I'm afraid of living with him. He would never physically hurt me but the verbal abuse is to much for me to handle. My mom understands, ';its why she left.'; I could go live with my mom and her boyfriend, but I would then have to change schools, and I would feel uncomfortable, i've never met the guy and don't think he would like me living in his home. My wonderful best friend invited me to stay with her and her family, I love her mom to death and they would take me in in a moment. I think this would be best, to give myself a stable home enviroment and still attend highschool, where I am a sophmore. My mom has no problem with this, but shes afraid social services might find out and get her in trouble. So my question to you, can I move out, and stay with my friend and her family in my familys hard time, to seperate from my dad without legal issues like having to go through emancipation or adoption or risking getting my parents in trouble? In need of legal advice..parents...housing situation...?
Personally, I would move as soon as I could. Keep working my butt off and get the best grades possible. I would be an ideal student. Then if the social worker did come. I would tell them that I needed to make the move so I could do well and possibly go to college. That the environment at my Dad's just wouldn't let me do this. And changing schools would hurt me scholastically.
I really think you could pull this off. Especially if you can get the school to document your improvement. It would be hard, but then after graduation, you will be in a better position to fend for yourself.
You could also consider a military career or enlistment to get the skills you need for a good job. Hey if you are going to have a good life, with the situation you are in, you're going to need to make a maximum effort.
Good luck to you and God bless.
In response to the ones who say that you can't make the decision. It is your life and if you are acting like an adult, you tend to get treated as one. By improving yourself in a responsible manner, it is likely the system won't take that away from you. Social services has problems we can't imagine and they most likely will not spend effort to put you in a worse situation. There are questions about the money for your support, but that is just to see who pays what to whom. You won't see any money, but if your friend's mom is willing, you can survive and thrive.In need of legal advice..parents...housing situation...?
These a big decision for someone who is 16 why don't you just call and talk this over with someone at the social services center?
Why did the abusive father take you and your brother over the gentle loving mum?
You explain that your father is always abusing you.
You explain that living with mum and changing school is uncomfortable.
In my old eyes the second one is the lesser of the two evils.
That is unless your projecting an unjust image of your dad.
Uncomfortable is a long way short of being abused daily.
You explained how living with mum is not a good idea as you have not met her partner and you claim he wont not like you living there.
How can you say how a man you have not even met thinks. I find that strange.
If it was my mum I would want to know the guy mum is with. When we form a relationship with a mature age person, most often that brings with it children. If he love your mum he will accept you as part of her. He simply cant say, abandon your daughter.
You also speak about living at a friends place.
Why should this family be put out? Who going to cover the cost?
You also speak about child services.
I have no idea of your local laws but I do know these places are there to service you. Rather then assume what they will do why not contact them and get advice. That is why they are there.
I am sorry but in my eyes you appear to be manipulating events to get what you want. To live with your friend.
If I had an abusive father I would prefer to change school if that stopped daily abuse. I would not go to the friends place as you simply dont know what goes on there behind closed doors.
YOu certainly cannot make this decision. Your parents could choose to have you stay with your friend, but yu don't get to decide.
If your mom is okay with it, you need her to discuss it with your dad. Otherwise, your only choice is to stay with mom or dad. Unfortunately, your mom does not have the power to take you from your dad's home and place you elsewhere. Barring legal custody agreements, she has the right to take you, but only to her won custody.

Social services has problems we can't imagine and they most likely will not spend effort to put you in a worse situation. There are questions about the money for your support, but that is just to see who pays what to whom. You won't see any money, but if your friend's mom is willing, you can survive and thrive.In need of legal advice..parents...housing situation...?
These a big decision for someone who is 16 why don't you just call and talk this over with someone at the social services center?
Why did the abusive father take you and your brother over the gentle loving mum?
You explain that your father is always abusing you.
You explain that living with mum and changing school is uncomfortable.
In my old eyes the second one is the lesser of the two evils.
That is unless your projecting an unjust image of your dad.
Uncomfortable is a long way short of being abused daily.
You explained how living with mum is not a good idea as you have not met her partner and you claim he wont not like you living there.
How can you say how a man you have not even met thinks. I find that strange.
If it was my mum I would want to know the guy mum is with. When we form a relationship with a mature age person, most often that brings with it children. If he love your mum he will accept you as part of her. He simply cant say, abandon your daughter.
You also speak about living at a friends place.
Why should this family be put out? Who going to cover the cost?
You also speak about child services.
I have no idea of your local laws but I do know these places are there to service you. Rather then assume what they will do why not contact them and get advice. That is why they are there.
I am sorry but in my eyes you appear to be manipulating events to get what you want. To live with your friend.
If I had an abusive father I would prefer to change school if that stopped daily abuse. I would not go to the friends place as you simply dont know what goes on there behind closed doors.
YOu certainly cannot make this decision. Your parents could choose to have you stay with your friend, but yu don't get to decide.
If your mom is okay with it, you need her to discuss it with your dad. Otherwise, your only choice is to stay with mom or dad. Unfortunately, your mom does not have the power to take you from your dad's home and place you elsewhere. Barring legal custody agreements, she has the right to take you, but only to her won custody.

I need some legal advice from any attorneys- please respond/see details...?
I am a legal assistant from Georgia. My boss, an attorney, fired me on 1/3/08. It was an unfair termination. I was not given a chance to even defend myself.
I was subjected to verbal abuse in a hostile work environment, and I am also disabled due to severe OCD, anxiety, and depression.
I applied for Unemployment insurance benefits. At first, I was denied. Then, I was granted them.
But now, my former boss has appealed my rights to receive my UI. She also wrote a five page letter to the GA Department of Labor which contained some factual information, as well as some prevarications.
I am David, fighting Goliath. What rights do I have? To whom can I complain now? The ABA? The EEOC?
If I want to sue for discrimination against me due to my mental illness, do I have a case at all? To whom can I turn for help and support?
One problem that exists is that her office has fewer than three employees. Many GA labor laws only apply to workplaces with 15+ workers.
Please help.I need some legal advice from any attorneys- please respond/see details...?
You did not give the reason(s) why you were terminated. Secondly, you stated, ';I was subjected to verbal abuse in a hostile work environment, and I am also disabled due to severe OCD, anxiety, and depression.'; If this is true, why did you continue to work for them?

Please help, Need legal advice about work harassment in NH?
Anyone that can help or point me in the right direction would greatly be appreciated. I currently work for a boss that has the mentality of if you are on the clock you do whatever i say. I feel as if i have been completely taken advantage of and will no longer stand for it. My boss knows that i am pregnant, and whenever he is in a bad mood picks fights with me, two days ago he picked a fight because i called tomatoes stupid and continued to yell at me until i cried, after that he followed me around all day and whenever he asked anything he would follow it up with a ';Are you crying'; or ';are you going to cry now';. I feel like i am in a bind because i am pregnant and need the insurance, and due to the economy finding a job is quite difficult, but the added stress and the way he makes me feel on a daily basis is not fair or right. What can i do from a legal standpoint.Please help, Need legal advice about work harassment in NH?
'Great Scott' hit it on the head..........
being rude, crude, inconsiderate, picky and in general a jerk is not illegal and you being pregnant has no bearing on it.
if you are treated differently solely because you are pregnant that is a different issue.
from what you have stated you just happen to work for an idiot...........
you can go to HR and ask for a meeting with someone from that department and your boss,
if your employer does not have an HR department speak to your bosses immediate supervisor and ask for a meting with the three of you,
if your boss does not have a supervisor then ask for a meeting one on one with your boss and explain your concerns.
if nothing changes you can quit or request leave under FMLA.........
if you do quit your insurance should be covered under COBRA and if you take a leave the employer can require you to pay your portion of the insurance premiums while you are on leave.
if (a big if) you truly believe you are being discriminated against solely because of your pregnancy then you contact the EEOC .
to learn what is and is NOT discrimination, how to file a complaint and the steps that MUST be followed:

u can report ur boss, U R PREGNANT and everyone knows that stress MUST be at a minimal for pregnant women, u can talk to him maturely and tell him that, and if he doesn't stop. report him. but regardless of ur pregnancy u don't deserve to deal with this, u r at a place of business and if he can't conduct himself maturely, then the company should reprimand him or find someone that will do his job properly. u have to stand up for urself.
good luck
Immediately report it to his boss and personnel. They will put a stop to it because they know it is illegal and the company can be held financially liable if they don't.
If they don't help you. Get the lawyer and get the money girlfriend!
Get a free consultation from a lawyer, in person
Nothing. It's not illegal to be a jerk.
First, do not let him make you quit your job. You do not want to be without the insurance or without a job. Also, you may be covered under FMLA and do not want to loose this federal protection as well.
I recommend that you place a formal written complaint with his boss or with your human resource department (if there is one). This gives your employer the chance to correct his behavior and serves as documentation if needed at a later date to place a complaint with the DOL if your employer fails to resolve the matter.
I would be happy to help you draft the written complaint or provide further legal avenues to pursue after you place the written complaint, please feel free to email me if you would like my assistance.
Best wishes.revlon

Lanlord / Tenant Rights & Legal Advice?
Hi, I am a renter of a 700 square ft apartment in Lakewood CO. Me, my fiance, and 3 year old daughter live here, and have lived here for the past year.
About six months ago, the apartment building was bought out by a new owner. Along with that came new property management. In late December (2008). We noticed a leak coming from the ceiling in our bathroom. They came out, repaired the leak, patched up the wall -- all was good.
About a month later the patch started to give and eventually fell off the ceiling, the leak had returned. Our Prop. Manager sent out a plumber and fixed the problem yet again. (or so we thought).
mid Feburary (2009) rolled around and we were having major water pressure issues. Sometimes as little as a trickle would come from our faucets. Turns out, a pipe under our sink cabinets leading into our bathroom had disintegrated. (our kitchen and out bathroom are next to eachother -- separated by a wall) So water was pretty much running thru a lined hole, where the pipe used to be. This would occasionally back up dirty muddy water into our bathtub. which stinks horribly i might add. an old mildewy smell.
They sent out a team of plumbers this time (2). They ripped up our cabinets in the kitchen to get under the sink. Had to jack-hammer thru the cement to get to the pipe, dug thru cement all the way into the middle of the bathroom floor -- had to lift up the bathtub, remove tile, the whole shebang.
I was very impressed with their work, they came in, got what they needed to get done, done. It only took them one day. They were very professional about everything, even offering us earplugs for the jack-hammer. (even tho we wouldn't be here ;) )
Our landlord got us a hotel room for 2 nights since we would be without running water. We returned after our stay at the hotel only to find our apartment was unlocked and a couple windows fully opened with the screens removed (no idea why). Nothing was stolen, nothing was messed with. It just looked like the plumbers left and our property manager (who i forgot to mention -- lives in the apartment above us) did not lock up. Even tho she was the only one with access to our apartment (by key) the whole time we were gone. THANK GOD nothing was stolen as we have many expensive electronics here.
So anyways, we returned to a ';gutted'; apartment where all that was left to do would be putting everything back together along with a new floor in both the kitchen and bathroom. And re-tiling the bathroom.
The maintenance man (hired to be the fixer-upper) is a family member of our property manager and is very unprofessional. Always complaining about how he doesn't want to work on any particular day... obviously not what we want to hear. The further they get into repairs, the worse and worse it looks in my opinion.
I honestly would be happier right now with the holes in the wall we had before (after the plumbers left) We've been back from the hotel for a week now. We were told that repairs would take no more than 3-4 days. They came in after we were already back from the hotel a DAY later. Keep in mind at this point we have no sink, no kitchen cabinetry (put together atleast)
We couldn't take a shower either, atleast we didn't want to because of this:
http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m320/hollowlifex/IMG_3242.jpg
we just didn't want to compromise any work that needed to be done.
so we did our dishes in the tub, and took showers at my parents house (20 miles away). We could really use a hotel now! lol.
So anyways, the following day came and the maintenance man would return finally with a friend to help. instead of doing anything with the existing tile, they just threw up a 50$ shower slide. which looks like this at the moment: custom cut by them i might add

The repairs have not taken place in a reasonable amount of time. It appears your landlord is willing to work with you.

I'm sixteen years old, I live in Illinois. After 20 years of marriage my parents are splitting. My dad has always been a crazy drunk, im surprised my mom lasted this long. Anyway, she now lives with her boyfriend, I live with my dad and brother. The parents are not yet divorced. Mom comes by to see my us every other day or so at least. But my dad is out of control. All he ever does is scream at me, and I can't stand it. I'm afraid of living with him. He would never physically hurt me but the verbal abuse is to much for me to handle. My mom understands, ';its why she left.'; I could go live with my mom and her boyfriend, but I would then have to change schools, and I would feel uncomfortable, i've never met the guy and don't think he would like me living in his home. My wonderful best friend invited me to stay with her and her family, I love her mom to death and they would take me in in a moment. I think this would be best, to give myself a stable home enviroment and still attend highschool, where I am a sophmore. My mom has no problem with this, but shes afraid social services might find out and get her in trouble. So my question to you, can I move out, and stay with my friend and her family in my familys hard time, to seperate from my dad without legal issues like having to go through emancipation or adoption or risking getting my parents in trouble? In need of legal advice..parents...housing situation...?
Personally, I would move as soon as I could. Keep working my butt off and get the best grades possible. I would be an ideal student. Then if the social worker did come. I would tell them that I needed to make the move so I could do well and possibly go to college. That the environment at my Dad's just wouldn't let me do this. And changing schools would hurt me scholastically.
I really think you could pull this off. Especially if you can get the school to document your improvement. It would be hard, but then after graduation, you will be in a better position to fend for yourself.
You could also consider a military career or enlistment to get the skills you need for a good job. Hey if you are going to have a good life, with the situation you are in, you're going to need to make a maximum effort.
Good luck to you and God bless.
In response to the ones who say that you can't make the decision. It is your life and if you are acting like an adult, you tend to get treated as one. By improving yourself in a responsible manner, it is likely the system won't take that away from you. Social services has problems we can't imagine and they most likely will not spend effort to put you in a worse situation. There are questions about the money for your support, but that is just to see who pays what to whom. You won't see any money, but if your friend's mom is willing, you can survive and thrive.In need of legal advice..parents...housing situation...?
These a big decision for someone who is 16 why don't you just call and talk this over with someone at the social services center?
Why did the abusive father take you and your brother over the gentle loving mum?
You explain that your father is always abusing you.
You explain that living with mum and changing school is uncomfortable.
In my old eyes the second one is the lesser of the two evils.
That is unless your projecting an unjust image of your dad.
Uncomfortable is a long way short of being abused daily.
You explained how living with mum is not a good idea as you have not met her partner and you claim he wont not like you living there.
How can you say how a man you have not even met thinks. I find that strange.
If it was my mum I would want to know the guy mum is with. When we form a relationship with a mature age person, most often that brings with it children. If he love your mum he will accept you as part of her. He simply cant say, abandon your daughter.
You also speak about living at a friends place.
Why should this family be put out? Who going to cover the cost?
You also speak about child services.
I have no idea of your local laws but I do know these places are there to service you. Rather then assume what they will do why not contact them and get advice. That is why they are there.
I am sorry but in my eyes you appear to be manipulating events to get what you want. To live with your friend.
If I had an abusive father I would prefer to change school if that stopped daily abuse. I would not go to the friends place as you simply dont know what goes on there behind closed doors.
YOu certainly cannot make this decision. Your parents could choose to have you stay with your friend, but yu don't get to decide.
If your mom is okay with it, you need her to discuss it with your dad. Otherwise, your only choice is to stay with mom or dad. Unfortunately, your mom does not have the power to take you from your dad's home and place you elsewhere. Barring legal custody agreements, she has the right to take you, but only to her won custody.

Police misconduct and legal advice?
If you have been harrassed by law enforcement and have a good law suit on false arrest,illegal search and seizure,theift of meds,medical abuse while in their care and much more but cant find a lawyer to take the case without lots of money then what would you do first?
I have tried to call the news stations but was told by two ex-police officers that the news station around here works for this parish and maybe thats why i cant get them to responde to me...Now i want to try and get people to help me protest @ the court house but dont know how to get a permit, can someone give me some legal advice on what to do?
Thank you!!Police misconduct and legal advice?
I would begin with a thoroughly intelligent and point by point illegality in a letter of misconduct to the chief of police with a copy to your mayor. Inform them of what went wrong, why %26amp; how you expect it to be corrected. They should respond as to all the points where they disagree with your assessment of situation %26amp; why and/or let you know what will be corrected.
Then there is letter to the editor of local newspaper. Not always a sure thing they will print it, but maybe.
Just be VERY sure that you are 100% straight on your claims b/c once written for the public, if wrong, then you are setting yourself up for a case of libel.
I am thinking that if an attorney has not taken the case then you may not be standing on such solid ground as you may believe.
But you can always search for the 800# to the ACLU %26amp; ask them if you have a case. If it's really that good, they should handle it for free.

Please help! Need legal advice?
I had a car for sale and I was trying to help the guy out because he was in the same situation I had been in-needed a car, but didn't have enough money. I allowed him to give me half the money, and drive the car, with the promise that he would give me the other half in one weeks time. That week has come and gone, and he's not answer the phone or text messages. I spoke with him two days ago, he said he would bring it by yesterday, and yesterday no word came. I still have the title (I'm not that dumb) but what do I do if he doesn't pay me? Technically, the car still belongs to me. Please help. I was depending on that money to help me get out of here.Please help! Need legal advice?
Set a date that the final payment must be made. Tell him to bring the car back if he doesn't pay by then.
If he doesn't bring it back, you'd have to take him to a small claims court.
Since you have the title, the car does belong to you.
By the way, do NOT report it stolen. It wasn't stolen. You gave him the car with understanding that he will pay the remainder. Making a false police report will hurt you more than it will hurt him.Please help! Need legal advice?
You trusted someone who wasn't trustworthy. Go take the car. I hope you still have a key. Don't let him drive it any more because you are still responsible for what happens. Be ready to return his money.
You got the standard ';yeah sure'; when he said he would pay you. He just mouthed those words to you so you would give him the car. He may have intended to pay but he has what he wants so he doesn't care much about it any more. Typical flake behavior.
Borrow the money or work for it or you loose the car. Money separates the best of friends. It sounded good in the beginning but there are no guarantees in this life.
You can repossess the vehicle and keep the money he already gave you since he breached the contract.
Since there aren't any written contracts, you can report him to the police for theft - since he doesn't own the car.
But I suggest you warn him first
report it stolen, or call the police and explain it to them we would understand that kind of claim.
I suggest that you talk to him on the phone and say that you are in dire need of the money for the car. Suggest that you feel that he has breached the agreement that you made with him.
I am a little worried that if you ask for the car back, you will get it back, but not in good condition. I am also not sure what will happen if you go to court and he claims that he paid the agreed upon price already and that you have not produced the ';title'; to the car. Did he pay by cash or check? Was there any receipt for the money received given? What does it say on it? Is there any written evidence of the original deal?
Did you write up a contract, or was it a word of mouth deal? If you didn't write up a contract, all you can really do is take the case to someone like Judge Judy.
Writing up a contract would have been a good idea, if you didn't already do it. You don't even need a lawyer to sign it. You just need the other person to sign it.
If you did write up a contract, take it to the police - they can track him down.
In either case, you still have the title, so the car is in all reality yours, so him taking off with it in breach of your agreement constitutes theft.revlon

Need medical or legal advice please.....My mom went to get her ears clean when......?
Next thing you know my mom is in HUGE pain, inside her ear. She went back to the doctor to let them know the situation and they told her they accedentally touched a nerve while cleaning inside her ear which caused her to have severe ear ache. After that I they checked her again because she was still in major pain, they stated to her that her blood pressure was really high, (she had never had hI BP)after that they ended giving her morphine for the pain, but people with high blood pressure are not supposed be given morphine, so then she almost went into shock that her heart was racing almost gonna pop out of her chest, so one of the nurses started running to get another pill, realizing that she made a mistake, quickly went to get another medicine to ';calm her down'; and bring her pressure back down, what a bunch of idiots what can we do??? what can we do on our part. any adviceNeed medical or legal advice please.....My mom went to get her ears clean when......?
I'm just curious was this a General Practitioner that cleaned out her ears. I don't really know of to many nerves that are near the exterior of the ear canal. It sounds more like she had an ear infection or they ruptured her canal or tympanic membrane and won't fess up to it. They should have immediately referred her to an ENT to assess the damage and treat her. Instead it sounds like they are covering their mistake by making a huge one. Get a copy of her medical records from there. By law they have to give you a cop. You may have to pay but again by law there is a cap on how much they are allowed to charge. Then take those records and see a specialist. Such as a Ear Nose and Throat doctor. They will take a look at the damage that has been done and treat her accordingly. The only way you could seek legal advise is if a new doctor has indicated that there has been any permanent damage done to her ear and they committed malpractice.Need medical or legal advice please.....My mom went to get her ears clean when......?
Ask a lawyer, you could sue for malpractice if you really wanted to. Speak to a lawyer that doesn't get paid unless you win a lawsuit.
See an attorney!! You could have a medical malpractice suit.
you don't have a case.. there is no damages and this can be a normal unexpected outcome

I NEED SOME LEGAL ADVICE REGARDING WORK RELATED ISSUES.!!!?
So I work for a tutoring agency and they happen to be very strict with all their policies. But It so happens that I was assigned two students which are brothers to get tutoring by me. And I have tutored them for about a month now! Well 1 month later a person from the company calls and says I was not supposed to get assigned these two students, and that I should not tutor them no more. I say ok i'll stop tutoring them, but she says her supervisor said I might not get paid for the hours I have tutored them which came out to be $300.00 dollars worth in tutoring. SO I WAS ASSIGNED A STUDENT WHICH WAS (NOT MY FAULT) AND NOT GET PAID???? DO I SAY WELL IF YOUR NOT GOING TO PAY ME, THEN YOU'LL HEAR FROM MY LAWYER? WILL I GET FIRED OR LAYED OFF FOR SUING FOR WHATS RIGHT???? WHAT SHOULD I DO?I NEED SOME LEGAL ADVICE REGARDING WORK RELATED ISSUES.!!!?
By law, they must pay you for any work performed. Tell them that you expect your pay for these students or you will be forced to contact the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment Standards Administration, Wage and Hour Division (the agency that handles this type of complaint).
If they don't pay, file a complaint (however, I would guess that you would not be working there any more).I NEED SOME LEGAL ADVICE REGARDING WORK RELATED ISSUES.!!!?
If you are in the US, the laws are pretty standard that protect you from not being paid for work that you perform - no matter what the reason. If, you find yourself in this situation, know your rights. Contact the agency in the state that you live in that oversees wage and hour law, explain your dilemma and have them give you guidance.
i dont know what the laws are in your country im in england and here you would be well within your rights to say that you are going to take legal action, if they knew it was a mistake for you to be tutoring these brothers then they could have rectified THEIR mistake before a month that is just rediculous, here in england you wouldn't get sacked for taking legal action because you could then sue them for unfair dismissal if i was you i would go to an advice agency if you have any or go to a solicitor and tell them the perdicament you are in and they will be able to help you further

I want some (legal) advice, who can help?
The college administration lost my assignment so I receive a fail in this subject and now I need to repeat it (Repeating a subject at my college is not cheap).
I've already lodge an appeal letter but don't have confidence to win...as I have no evidence that can prove I have hand in the work. The only evidence I've got is I signed a late work submission form at administration, the administrator should record it but she doesn't!!!
I just think this is ridiculous! How can a college lost a student assignment!
What do you guys think?
Who is responsible?
If I lose, can I send this case to court? Or where can I go to complain?
(Mine is a private college)
Thanks :)I want some (legal) advice, who can help?
Plain and simple, your screwed. your word against that of a professor(probably with a Ph.d) you lose.
Talk to your teacher, and pray like hell.
It might help if you have the work saved in your computer so you can show that you did it.
Good luck.I want some (legal) advice, who can help?
We live in a World of make-believe and you are making believe that there are honest people at the top of the line or that those at the top deserve to be there.
If this is your first fight and you take it on then you will have to fight the rest of your life because the top's got the numbers to label you and keep you down for life.
You are probably now beginning to realise why there are people who will fight the World's most powerful military set-up with suicide-bombing-martyrs.
Somebody's got to stand up against the oppressors and impostors and fakes and if you jump in now you may be a changed being forever.
Free and Legal.
Allahuakbarr!
Without proof you have nothing. I'm sorry to say nothing can be done.

A Cry For Legal Advice!!?
Today the police/detectives busted into my house with a search warrent to find anything to do with GPS, Ipod's, Chargers, Etc. Apparantly they think my family was involved in some car looting or something. How pitiful.
They found useless junk like old broken phones, old gps, chargers, my old busted sidekick, yata yata. So they ask me to sign this receipt something about me being a witness to them taking the items for inventory.
First, I denied to sign the receipt, was that a bad/good call?
Tomorrow the detectives would like to speak to my
brother and I at their office, is it a good idea that me and my brother come down to have a word? What should I say?
This is completely unjustified, I thought I lived in America!A Cry For Legal Advice!!?
The receipt thing actually doesn't matter very much, it just means a bit more paperwork for them because you didn't sign so no big deal on that.
If it was me, and I really didn't do anything and my brother didn't as well, then I wouldn't even go to the police station tomorrow unless you were under subpoena or were told there would be a warrant for your arrest if you two failed to be there.
At the very least make sure neither of you will sell the other out or cave in and confess without speaking to a lawyer first.
Remember that NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY, YOU SHOULD KEEP QUIET AND ONLY REQUEST TO HAVE A LAWYER. You do not have to talk with them without your lawyer being there unless they offer you and your brother immunity in writing.
That's what I would do.I'm a pretty smart person, but not knowing your exact situation ( and not wanting to ) that's the advice I give.
EDIT: If you can not afford an attorney, one will be provided for you. So how did the meeting go at the station?A Cry For Legal Advice!!?
That was a bad call.
A good call would be one to a lawyer.
If you say it is unjustified, well, ok, but we can't tell from here. Obviously some judge signed a search warrant. That means the judge thought there was good cause to believe a crime was committed.
EDIT: Wow, you have a really bad attitude. You sound like a liar to me. I'll bet you are going to jail soon.

Please HeLp Me Legal Advice?
Ok So I got into an apt. about 2 months ago I went to turn on the electricity And they told me that my address is not in the system i tried to do other things as well and again told me that my address is invalid including map quest and all that.
Anyhow i had to go down to my meter for the electric hook up and get the number off my meter and they tech. on the phone told me that my address was complety diff. then the one on my lease for example my beginig address is 1280 which is on the whole building everywhere but legaly im asuming my address is 1282 does this void my lease?
its like im paying electricty at my house but at another house as well.
Im wondering if it voids my lease because i called my landlord to ask him about it and he told me that he has given me enough of his time for the night he is a jerk and i would love to get him so way or another i am always on time with rent and again Ive only lived here for a few months you would think he would still be in that fake mode at least. please help me.Please HeLp Me Legal Advice?
Information regarding the correct address (in this case may be error) will not constitute a breach in contract. Any court would probably find it immaterial since I'm assuming there are multiple houses in your building.Please HeLp Me Legal Advice?
i think it doubtfull that any judge would find that cause for voiding a lease.
Anyhow i had to go down to my meter for the electric hook up and get the number off my meter and they tech. on the phone told me that my address was complety diff. then the one on my lease for example my beginig address is 1280 which is on the whole building everywhere but legaly im asuming my address is 1282 does this void my lease?
its like im paying electricty at my house but at another house as well.
Im wondering if it voids my lease because i called my landlord to ask him about it and he told me that he has given me enough of his time for the night he is a jerk and i would love to get him so way or another i am always on time with rent and again Ive only lived here for a few months you would think he would still be in that fake mode at least. please help me.Please HeLp Me Legal Advice?

Help Please! Serious Legal advice needed.?
My best friend got several thousand dollars from her Dad when he died, she invested it in a house, however due to credit problems her boy friend co-signed with her and his name is now also on the loan of the home, his health is going down hill, does she need to worry if he has to go into a care center or he dies about his creditors or his children having any claim on the equity they have acquired in the home? Her boyfriend is telling her no, that would never happen and not to worry about it, I am telling her she needs to go to a lawyer. Thanks for any help. Help Please! Serious Legal advice needed.?
As posted above the note is not the main issue: It鈥檚 who on the title, if he is on the title then his half is subject to creditors from medical bills and depending on how title his interest may pass to his children upon his death Help Please! Serious Legal advice needed.?
Needs to seek legal counsel - a new deed can be prepared transferring the property into her name alone and refinance the loan to just her. If husband passes without a will the first 50% of any asset/s goes to his wife, the other 50% to his children/issue. A WILL as a legal document can set forth the disposition of his assets, even a holographic (hand written) will signed by him in front of 2 witnesses that also sign the will can help protect his girlfriend's interest in the home.
If his name is on the deed, then she can be concerned. If he only co-signed for the loan, then its only a potential liability for him, not an asset. Tell her to find the deed and see if he is listed on it. If not, she needn't worry further about the creditors. In terms of the children, even if he is on the deed, its probably written so that whomever survives the other keeps the house. She can check that too. Just have her give you the wording on the deed and repost that and we can tell you what it means.
Good luck
If she has a mortgage in both their names, then the deed to the home must also be in both their names. If the deed IS in both their names than it is a joint asset that creditors can come after. She needs to refinance the home in only her name and have the deed recorded in only her name to protect herself in this situation. The only exception is if she lives in a state where homes are 'creditor proof' such as Florida. In Florida ones home can not have a judgment placed against it unlike bank accounts. Check the laws of your state to see if those laws apply.
Tell her she should speak with a lawyer or a paralegal (they are cheaper)

I need Australian legal advice about a will.?
My mum passed away, a few months ago now, and my step family wont show me her will, mostly coz they know they wernt in it, but also coz they feel like shafting my brother and I.
How can I get a copy, if probate hasnt been applied for, and I dont know the solicitors name.
My mum left us a considerable amount of money, through life insurance, that I dont even know is valid, and my step family is trying to shame me out of my inheritance, by suggesting I only want to gain from my mothers death. ( sick bastards!!!! ) They're also saying there is nothing in the will, the had no assetts, which I already know, but if there is no life insurance, why wont they show me?
Any thoughts?I need Australian legal advice about a will.?
you need to find out your mums solicitor. and also with holding a will from you is rediculous and you should seek further legal advice, in regard of what to do , whether to involve police to retrieve the will. i looked up some stuff for you ... i dunno what state your in but this is from the NSW supreme court. i guess other states would have similar thing . good luck

A search can be made by attending at Level 5 of the Law Courts Building between 9.00am and 5.00pm, Monday - Friday. Staff at the Inquiries Counter will show you how a search can be carried out. No fees are charged for a search.
If you are not able to visit the Court, its staff will carry out a search for you and let you know the result. For this purpose, a search fee does apply. You can request, by telephone, a search for any application for probate filed from 1 January 1989. Requests for searches of applications filed before that day must be made in writing. The request should set out the full name of the deceased, his or her date of death and the last residential address of the deceased.
Can I get a copy of a will?
A copy of a will can be obtained if the will has been the subject of a grant of probate. Application forms are available on level 5, Law Courts Building.

HELP! desperately need legal advice! 10 points!!?
I have a 10 month old daughter who is the world to me. Her father is a waste of space deadbeat who decided for some unknown reason he wanted to be involved with her. I can't really legally say no to that.. I mean, he IS her dad... Except he didnt make an effort, he didnt even MEET her until she was 5 months old.
Anyways, he convinced me to try working on a relationship with him. We were together for about two months, and it was too months of f'in hell. Long story short, we got pregnant again.
I was dissappointed I was pregnant with another one of HIS kids, but it was my responsibility, because I made the choice to have sex with him, knowing there was always that chance.
Anyways, I was preparing to spread the news that I was expecting again, and he flipped out, saying he wouldnt be involved with EITHER of our kids if I kept this one, and that he would be a better father figure to our daughter if i aborted...
I thought about it for a month, and for my daughter's sake, I aborted because I couldnt stand the thought of bringing another child into the world to be subjected to a lifetime of neglect from their father.
I had the abortion saturday, and have beena complete wreck ever since. I can't get it out of my head, I had to name the baby because it was making me so upset I was LITERALLY sick, because of everything, how I disgarded it, and was refering to it as an IT, as tho it wasnt human. (named it Taylor Zane)
I feel so miserable, like I should be lying in a gutter somewhere, my daughter is the only thing keeping me going and out of guilt, i still have a hard time looking at her. I try to go about my business during the day but just burst into tears hysterical crying because I feel like the scum of the f'in earth right now. I would love nothing more than to go back to saturday morning, and not go to that appointment, and to still be carrying this baby right now. I am a wreck about this, you have no idea.
Now, however-- her dad wants nothing to do with her. Turns out, he was lying, saying he would take her a couple days a week, just so I would have the abortion.
The thought that anyone could be ok with that makes me want to vomit. I am now beside myself, not only because I had the abortion, but because I did it for the sake of my daughter having a father, only to find out he was just lying.
I have the text and IM conversations where we were talking about all of that, where we came to the agreement that he would take her more often if I aborted...
MY QUESTION: What legal actions can I take against him for this? perhaps sue him for emotional distress? He pays child support, and honestly, this is NOT a money situation. This is a He Needs To Be Taught A Lesson kind of situation. Im ok on money and starting an even better job on Thursday, but what he did was disgustingly wrong.
What can I do??????? I want justice!!!!!HELP! desperately need legal advice! 10 points!!?
You can try to sue but unfortunately it was ultimately your decision and it will be argued that you could have chosen to let the father leave again and that given his apparent character, that would probably be the best thing for her. Save the text and IMs and show them to your lawyer. You might get a bit for emotional damage, but don't get your hopes up and be aware that if it goes to court, they will constantly remind you that it was your choice and you'll need to prove that you were really afraid of him leaving and why. This may be difficult because you will be trying to simultaneously show people what a jerk he is and say it would be best for your daughter to have him around.
I'm really sorry for your loss and I can't imagine what you're going through now. You let him win before, don't let him win again. Even if the suit doesn't go anywhere, at least it will have scared him a bit.

I need Wise, legal advice?
Is it possible to be sued in court for owing 2-3k? what happen is I bought a used car a yr ago. The salesman lied to me big time. i gave a downpayment of 2k for a full loan but he said that it wasn't enough. He offered to lend me money for the car so i signed a IOU. After buying it, there are so much problem with the car like my car warranty was void, foreign country outstanding tickets, condition of the car was terrible, my car's engine gave me the biggest headache and repairing it costed me a bomb, which it's amount is even much more than i owe him. I told him abt the repair and he didn't bother at all. Aft handing the car over to me and i found out that the road tax is expiring in another 10 days, i informed him and said that he offered 1/5 of the price of the roadtax. I told him that the car workshop said that my car's warranty has been void and he didn't even bother. So i decided not to pay him the money i owe him because i felt that i don't owe him either. what should i do?I need Wise, legal advice?
Assuming you are in Singapore, did the salesman lend you the money for the downpayment as a personal loan i.e. a loan from him or was it a service offered by his company i.e. a loan from the company?
The fact you were persuaded to borrow money to make the downpayment is fishy; most financial institutions lending you the money would either accept a lower downpayment and subsequently higher instalments or would refuse to lend you in the first place.
If the loan was made by the salesman or by his company and interest is being charged, it might constitute as an illegal loan as only licensed institutions like finance companies and banks can make loans with chargeable interest. Ergo, the lender is an illegal moneylender and loans of this nature is not payable.
Regarding the issues surrounding your purchase, it appears the salesman have misled you on several counts. However, if all his promises were made verbally, it would be difficult to prove that he misled you.
You should engage a legal professional to explore your options in this situation.I need Wise, legal advice?
I would like to comment on this case but am not sure if its still on-going or is it too late. No hoax, and entirely free. I am a retired lawyer. So if this case is still ongoing, perhaps you could drop me an email and I could share some advice. Thanks.

Yes you can and probably will be sued for it. It is possible to be sued in court for less than $100.00. It also seems that the courts would rule in favor of the salesman, and tell you you are suffering fro buyer's remorse. If it was a used car then you don't have a leg to stand on. However if you have documentation where it states the warranty is in fact in effect, and proof that you were informed it was not, you might have a defense. Any time you purchase a vehicle secondhand, the best bet is to have a qualified mechanic check it out first. It might cost you 50.00 but will save many headaches in the future.
What country are you in, a road tax? In the USA to have a car dealer do what that salesman did would have their license revoked and it would be closed down. A commissioned sales person can't lend you money to buy a car! They are to have a private office for any financing and only the owner or trained finance personal can do the paperwork for loan approval. Check you local business laws and requirements to be a dealer. Forget the IOU, it's not legal. It appears to me usury laws were violated.
YES U CAN BE SUED
Well, you or I can be sued for almost anything. So, yes the guy can sue you. However, it appears that some consumer protection issues are involved. First I would make sure that I have documentation to prove EVERYTHING. Receipts for the purchase of the vehicle, receipts for every bill, payment, expense associated with the vehicle. Remember, if you have to go to court you want to have documentation and proof to substantiate ALL the facts and circumstances. Also, I would go ahead and report this business and/or person to the Better Business Bureau, as well as the Consumer Protection Division of your state's Office of the Attorney General. Remember, many attorneys will give you one free consultation to discuss your case with you. That would also be a good idea. I wish you the best.

HELP I NEED LEGAL ADVICE!!!!?
My son is 15 and will be 16 in March. He recently had a girlfriend who is 17 and will be 18 in March. She claims she was a virgin and had sex with my son. He claims he used protection but his ex is late on her period. She should have either started on the 7th or the 15th of October and still hasn't started. I bought her a pregnancy test on the 17th of October and it came back negative. What I am thinking is that it was too early to have taken and that she did it wrong or not enough urine on the stick. Anyways...now she is talking about moving to California if she is pregnant. Can she legally do this without the fathers permission? What are my rights in the state of Arizona to be able to keep her here so we can have our rights to the child as well as my son? I have tried to talk to the girl but she doesn't listen to me and has her heart set on moving. I told her what about us and being able to see the child and she told me to move to California. Realistically that is not the answer nor are we in any situation to just up and relocate. Someone please help me and let me know if she legally can do this and if not what i can do as the grandparent to prevent this from happening. What are our rights in Arizona???HELP I NEED LEGAL ADVICE!!!!?
You really need to be contacting a family law attorney.
There are too many variables. The girl seems skittish and you sound like you don't want her taking off before you have your ducks in a row.
You don't say the date of when her period was suppose to come and when she administered the test, but you don't say when this event was suppose to occur. But common sense is that if it's not showing up on these early detection pregnancy tests, there is no way that she would know she was pregnant.
I would get her to planned parenthood, yesterday. She needs to talk to someone besides a parent about why having a baby at 17 with a 15 year old, would not be a good idea.HELP I NEED LEGAL ADVICE!!!!?
If i was you i would be glad she is moving so your son can get on with his life. If your sons stuck with a kid at 15 his life will be over
i dont know call a ******* law firm
I think its a bit soon to be making so many drastic decisions. she sounds like she has a lot of issues if she wants to leave the potential babys daddy. Legally its her decision. Try to get her family on board with her staying in arizona
Sorry, but you have no rights. And it's hard to tell at this point if she's even pregnant, or if she is, if the pregnancy will be successful and if the baby is really your son's.

Please help, need legal advice........?
am 17, my friends and I were questioned by a sheriff regarding an incident. My parent was not present and i was read my rights and the sheriff tape recorded all of us talking to him. Officer was being rude and said he was going to arrest us if we hadnt talked to him. while we were talking, officer was raising his voice at me personally while i was trying to tell my part of story and i felt intimidated by him. So i went ahead and talked to him. In the state of arizona is it legal for a sherrif to talk to a minor without a guardian present? and is there bases to get my statement thrown out?
Lawyer isnt helping, shes just sitting on all of it. I am getting charged with Reckless driving and Reckless endangerment, because the other persons story was blown out of the water, they say she has proof of the whole thing, video and pics, but we arent being allowed to see any of it. do we have a right to see any of the evidence?
I didnt get pulled over, they showed up at my friends house 2 DAYS later. After the incident.Please help, need legal advice........?
Here's the harsh truth: the officer's attitude or manners have absolutely no bearing on your statement or confession. At 17, Arizona officers can question you without a parent or guardian present.
The officer advised you of your constitutional rights. Those rights include being allowed to not answer questions, to stop answering questions at any time, and to request that a lawyer be present for questioning. You waived your rights by making a statement and not asking the questioning to stop.
If the other person has video and pictures, your lawyer can get copies of them through discovery. If you are under the impression that your lawyer is not doing anything in regards to your case, meet with your lawyer and have her bring you up to date on what she's done so far, what she plans to do, and when you can view the video and pics that the police spoke of.
And it doesn't matter that you didn't get pulled over but were instead arrested a couple of days later. The crime didn't go away because you left the scene. Arizona has two ways of charging reckless driving (either by a combination of violations like cutting in and out of traffic, endangering others, etc or by speeding 20 mph over the speed limit or over) and it is a Class 2 misdemeanor that can lead to 90 days license suspension for first offense.
The reckless endangerment charge is much more serious. That stems from DUI
Aggravated assault
Excessive speeding
Passing in a no passing zone
Dangerous, aggressive tailgating
Dangerous weaving through traffic
Unlawfully passing a loading or unloading school bus
and can lead to a three year prison term, with additional license suspension.
From what you've said, there doesn't seem to be any basis for throwing your statement out, but the judge will decide that.

You said you got a lawyer so why still asked for a legal advice? You should see the evidence of the other parties, this is part of your rights to defend your accusers. Your own lawyer should know this. If the court favor the other party then you can asked through your lawyer an appeal to the appellate court for a review of the case.
You can fire your lawyer if you think she or he is not doing much for your own case. Again this is also part of your rights to choose your own defender. Who said you can't fire her? You are paying for the lawyer therefore you have the right to choose whoever you think is good for your case.
I started to answer your question with some very sound advise but after reading your childish response in additional details perhaps you are guilty ..
My son is retarded by birth so I resent your '; retard'; word.. I have had many dealings with attorneys in my career but I think you need to be taught a lesson..Next time when someone answers your question don't be so flippant.. Good luck in court .. You will probably need it ..
Sorry to hear this, but welcome to the Police State.
Ask a lawyer.
Can you prove your innocence? Are you guilty of the charge?
If you are old enough to drive then you are old enough to be questioned by law enforcement without a parent present.
You were probably caught on video survelliance cameras located at Shopping malls, intersections, and along busy streets. They are everywhere. Even at ATMs and schools
If you didn't kill or maim anyone or animal then you can get off with a warning. If you ran a red light then it is a fine but if you knocked over granny and didn't stop then it is prison. If you hit another car or object and didn't stop or report the incident then you may lose your licence for 2 years.
The evidence will be shown in court and only then will you have a right to defend yourself.
Lawyer isnt helping, shes just sitting on all of it. I am getting charged with Reckless driving and Reckless endangerment, because the other persons story was blown out of the water, they say she has proof of the whole thing, video and pics, but we arent being allowed to see any of it. do we have a right to see any of the evidence?
I didnt get pulled over, they showed up at my friends house 2 DAYS later. After the incident.Please help, need legal advice........?
Here's the harsh truth: the officer's attitude or manners have absolutely no bearing on your statement or confession. At 17, Arizona officers can question you without a parent or guardian present.

I need some legal advice on catalogue returns!?
I returned several items in the same parcel to Look Again but they said 1 item was missing. I had already thrown away my returns proof as it said online that items had been received. 2 weeks later I got a letter saying this item was missing and they needed proof of return. I have explained several times and final;ly spoke to a supervisor who told me the item had been found and he had taken it off my account but he left no record of this and now back to square one!
They now want me to sign a declaration to allow the Carrier to start a missing parcel investigation But the parcel is not missing! Its just one item from the parcel! I refuse to sign this as I should not have been told they had found it if they have not! What can I do? Do I have any rights?I need some legal advice on catalogue returns!?
i have signed these declarations when i have not received a parcel, its so they can claim on the insurance i believe, and you should not be involved again, if you want when you get the declaration form, (to cover yourself) write on it that the said item was included in the parcel with the other items amd Photo copy the declaration and keep that. send back the original. then forget about it , i don't think they will claim anything from you. good luckrevlon

Underage Drinking question legal advice?
Within the jurisdiction of this court, while under the legal age to purchase alcoholic beverages, knowingly possess without legal authority or consume an alcoholic beverage in a public place specifically by holding a red solo cup containing alcohol.
Thats what it says on the summons. I have a court date can someone tell me exactly whats gonna happen in court and what i should say and what i shouldn't thank you. I was on a sidewalk outside a house with a red solo cup when an officer saw me drinking out of it. I turned and kinda threw it down but he came back and told me to pick it up and asked me what was in there. I said idont know officer juice? and then he just arrested me and took me to the station and processed me and everything. Underage Drinking question legal advice?
Be polite and be respectful...
If I were you, I would admit to the wrongdoings. It wasnt a dui so they probably will put you on probation. But you not gon be on papers or nothing like that but they will probably make you do some community service and a small fine!
You will be let off probation as soon as you complete the tasks for compliance! good luck!
Much Agape to all! %26lt;3
-Arie'Underage Drinking question legal advice?
tell the truth
if you were drinking you're screwed if you lie or tell the truth
but if you weren't the officer is screwed
but throwing it down is kinda turning against you right now
find a way to prove it was juice (if it was)
dont make smart *** answers and dont get cocky
be polite and answer all the questions
you should of kept drinking it and kept it in your hand instead of throwing it on the floor like you have something to hide.
Dummy
dress nice, answer ';yes sir, no sir';. Don't back talk, don't whine. When the judge gives you ACD and alcohol classes, go to them, and don't get caught again.
Ummm seems like you got busted red handed - or red cupped? Plead guilty - apologize - admit your wrong doing - pay your ticket.
there is no legal advice for underage drinking...you broke the law...
you'll get a fine most likely nothin to worry bout
Cowboy up.....plead guilty....pay small fine.....done.
How old are you first of all? I think u should get a 5a form for public defender before you go to court, and call the court house and tell them you are pleading not guilty, they will send you a later court date in the mail, this will give u time to get a lawyer or public defender, I don't think the cop was right for this, thats why I say get a lawyer, - In any case if you get a good enough defense it can be dropped, and probably will be. They may give you a fine for having an open container in public... also hopefully you were on a friends or your own property? Get a defender.
Im also in NJ- Im in south jersey, so they don't really get on you too much around here for it... But get a defender, and plead not guilty, they will drop this to a lesser charge.... something I like to do with NJ courts is just let it go to a warrant, keep as far away from police as possible, and then in about a month pay the warrant... get a new court date... postpone it twice or three times, by that time the cop will be so bored with going to court for you, the next time you get a date the cop prolly wont be there and it will be dismissed.
By your very statement here, you were admitting you didn't know what you were drinking, and yet should have known.
You were either drunk by your own deliberate action, or someone made you drunk.
Which was it ?
I'm not Judge Judy, and neither have I wasted much of my life watching her, but you've got into trouble, young man.

I need Professional legal advice.I am going through a bad divorce need help?
My husband is an accountant and we are going through a divorce. He knows how to do alot of things, so the divorce and the split of assests would be to his favor. I was told to hire a forensic Accountant but he says this is his area of specialty (my husband) and I won't get anywhere and I will just be dragging the case. Not only he will hire a stronger attorney but also knows his way around. Please help. What should I do. I have been a housewife for over 20 years. Have raised our children and have helped him with his business.I need Professional legal advice.I am going through a bad divorce need help?
Contact your local Bar Association for the name of a good divorce lawyer. Like someone else said, DO NOT SHARE ONE WITH HIM.
Then ask your divorce lawyer to contact a good forensic accountant, if they do not know one, I'm sure your local district attorney's office would know one.
Make sure you tell them that you've helped him with his business and outline exactly what you did and how much you contributed and should share in the proceeds of that business as well as the marital proceeds. I need Professional legal advice.I am going through a bad divorce need help?
Don't be intimidated. Call your local bar association and get a referral to an experienced family lawyer. Yours will be an interesting case to a lot of attorneys who do divorce because forensic accountants often have high incomes.
The truth of it is, a good lawyer can help you out, but only so much. Get a good lawyer yourself, and you've neutralized his advantage.
Hire a lawyer, and hire a forensic accountant. He is trying to bluff you. Call his bluff. You need someone on your side to stand up to him. Tell him the way to avoid drawing things out is to come to a reasonable, amicable settlement. Once you have a lawyer tell your husband that all communications about the settlement have to be through your lawyers.
of course he is going to try and talk you out of hiring a good lawyer.. he wants things to go his way..
this may be his area of specialty but he is NOT the only one..
also, he may be an account BUT he is FAR from a divorce lawyer.. which is what you need. AND should get..
Make sure YOU pick them out .. DO NOT use the same lawyer. NO MATTER WHAT!!
This is why I feel bad for stay at home moms.. 20 years of wonderfully taking care of the house and kids...NOW WHAT?
He's just trying to intimidate you and from what you are saying, is doing a good job of it. Get yourself a good divorce lawyer, he will get all the right people who can help you out !!
Hi there you sent me an email saying that you wanted to know how much my crates were. My husband and I sell products for dogs and ship them across the world. We are much cheaper then your typical dog supplier storse such as petsmart, petco and all the other rip off stores. If you could email me and let me know what size crate you are looking for I'll get back to you and let you know and much the pricing will be,
By the way my email didn't let me send this to you, and it can back in a failure notice. That's why I am leaving it on your yahoo answer!
AND TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION: You should let your new attorney know this so it can be held up in court.

Divorce hell! Any legal advice or other?
I split with my wife in April. She has had several affairs and we tried to made it work but couldn't.We have three children. I have part time custody and work full time. I have given her $2200.00 since April when she left. She doesn't have a job and doesn't have a lot of work experience. She's going back to school and will receive financial aid any day. She has paid the retainer on an attorney and threatens to take me to court, ';make things ugly';, and take the kids away from me, or only let me see them every other weekend. What are my rights here. We agreed that I would pay 650.00 per month for my three children and that I would get them on a very regular basis. She keeps changing the rules and asking for more, more, more. I don't mind helping out. I want my children to have everything they need. I just want to know my rights. I don't have enough to hire an attorney. She wiped out my bank account to hire hers just before she left. Please helpDivorce hell! Any legal advice or other?
why did u give her money for an attorney and not use that money for your own attorney? i have to ask why because when someone does u dirty why help them? i am afraid u will need an attorney to fight her for shared parenting. looks like she is going to cause u some trouble no matter how good and fair u have been to her. next time use your money for your own benefit, because by now u should be able to see u really can't trust this woman.and if u both agreed u probably would not have needed an attorney at all.Divorce hell! Any legal advice or other?
HIre a better lawyer, that is all you can do. You have every right to slander her name in court if she has been cheating on you and you have proof, and site the things that she does like wiping your bank account, and get a list of what she is spending this money on. Since, you have custody of the kids.
all you can do is take her to court. most lawyers have payment plans.
If she left then she's the one who looks bad. Stop giving her money and buy things for your kids yourself. You should look into getting sole custody of your kids also. She can't keep you from your kids, even if you don't pay support. Keep a journal of all her actions or words just in case. If you have part time custody you shouldn't have to give her any money. Try to keep this out of court just because of the money it will cost but by all means do all you have to for your kids. Hope this helps and good luck.
if you have 50/50 custody of your kids you wont owe her any money for child support!
i just went through a very ugly divorce.
what she may not realize if she takes you to court it will straight up cost $10,000 this is the paper work involved and the lawyer fees and judge fees.
one disadvantage for you is she has no job! and if she has no experience that will hurt you! she cant take away your kids unless she can prove beyond any doubt you are the most horrible father and being with you is detrimental to the childrens health.
good luck divorce is ugly and sticky
ps you wont have to pay her attorney fees!
You should go to court they usualy have a lawyer of the day which is free you may have to be there all day since most people take advantage of the free lawyer service and then get a court order for child suport and then you'll know what your paying every month and she can't change it since the court figures out what you make and what the kids need and it's based on that and then you dont have to worry about her asking for more cash good luck it's never easy getting a divorce
Basically, you're screwed. If you want to help determine YOUR future, you're going to HAVE to hire an attorney to represent your interests in court. SHE doesn't get to make all the ';rules'; on how this custody thing is gonna work out. A judge will see that there is a fair settlement %26amp; joint custody.
Maybe you should offer to 'take the kids off her hands' so she'll be free to go back to school! Then YOU can set the rules %26amp; see how she likes it!
And just so you'll know....most all attorney's offer a free consultation. Talk to one. Know your rights. Find an attorney that will allow you to set up a payment plan with their firm.
the court will always prefer and in fact try to force you to a settlement -
In New Jersey where I am - less than 2% of the divorce cases are settled by the court -
so - here's the deal -
if you can work it out - get a signed notarized agreement from her - that will hold up in court -
if you can't - then its lawyer time - and they will suck your blood - of course you will have to pay her attorney fees as well
as far as child support each state has guidelines based on your income - you can google your state's child support laws and they will have a table the outlines that -
allimony - she never worked - you gonna pay until she is self supportive and/or re-marries -
no money for a lawyer - if you got a VISA card use it - cuz if she gets one and you don't you are really screwed
bottom line - she is entitled to 50% of whatever you got - now you say she wiped out your bank account and hers - well half of that was yours - so document it and make that part of the settlement
good luck
Unfortunately, she's a lot smarter than you, even though she's a moron and a cheater.
I'm sure you mean well, but you can't have verbal agreements with someone like her and hope everything turns out ok! That's totally naive and your kids deserve a lot better, including time with you.
You have no choice - you're way overdue on an attorney. He might even be able to recover some of the money she took and if you have proof of her cheating, a lot of your problems could disappear. But you may not have the proof you need because you didn't get the attorney when you needed it!
This will impact the rest of your and your kids' life, so do what it takes to find one. You can't afford NOT to. Don't give her another penny - give it to your new attorney.
I was in a similar situation (but luckily no kids). I called around and found an attorney who I clicked with and did a consultation with her.
In this case she/he can look at your situation and give you general advice and tell you what your rights are. She also provided some documentation for me to read. I didn't have to pay a retainer, just a flat fee for the consult. That 1.5 hours gave me a lot more knowledge and understanding than I had, and it removed enough fear to give me confidence to deal with my ex.
Worst case, if things don't improve then you can retain him/her.
why did u give her money for an attorney and not use that money for your own attorney? i have to ask why because when someone does u dirty why help them? i am afraid u will need an attorney to fight her for shared parenting. looks like she is going to cause u some trouble no matter how good and fair u have been to her. next time use your money for your own benefit, because by now u should be able to see u really can't trust this woman.and if u both agreed u probably would not have needed an attorney at all.Divorce hell!

If she left then she's the one who looks bad. Stop giving her money and buy things for your kids yourself. You should look into getting sole custody of your kids also. She can't keep you from your kids, even if you don't pay support. Keep a journal of all her actions or words just in case. If you have part time custody you shouldn't have to give her any money. Try to keep this out of court just because of the money it will cost but by all means do all you have to for your kids. Hope this helps and good luck.
if you have 50/50 custody of your kids you wont owe her any money for child support!
i just went through a very ugly divorce.
what she may not realize if she takes you to court it will straight up cost $10,000 this is the paper work involved and the lawyer fees and judge fees.
one disadvantage for you is she has no job! and if she has no experience that will hurt you! she cant take away your kids unless she can prove beyond any doubt you are the most horrible father and being with you is detrimental to the childrens health.
good luck divorce is ugly and sticky
ps you wont have to pay her attorney fees!
You should go to court they usualy have a lawyer of the day which is free you may have to be there all day since most people take advantage of the free lawyer service and then get a court order for child suport and then you'll know what your paying every month and she can't change it since the court figures out what you make and what the kids need and it's based on that and then you dont have to worry about her asking for more cash good luck it's never easy getting a divorce
Basically, you're screwed. If you want to help determine YOUR future, you're going to HAVE to hire an attorney to represent your interests in court. SHE doesn't get to make all the ';rules'; on how this custody thing is gonna work out. A judge will see that there is a fair settlement %26amp; joint custody.
Maybe you should offer to 'take the kids off her hands' so she'll be free to go back to school! Then YOU can set the rules %26amp; see how she likes it!
And just so you'll know....most all attorney's offer a free consultation. Talk to one. Know your rights. Find an attorney that will allow you to set up a payment plan with their firm.
the court will always prefer and in fact try to force you to a settlement -
In New Jersey where I am - less than 2% of the divorce cases are settled by the court -
so - here's the deal -
if you can work it out - get a signed notarized agreement from her - that will hold up in court -
if you can't - then its lawyer time - and they will suck your blood - of course you will have to pay her attorney fees as well
as far as child support each state has guidelines based on your income - you can google your state's child support laws and they will have a table the outlines that -
allimony - she never worked - you gonna pay until she is self supportive and/or re-marries -
no money for a lawyer - if you got a VISA card use it - cuz if she gets one and you don't you are really screwed
bottom line - she is entitled to 50% of whatever you got - now you say she wiped out your bank account and hers - well half of that was yours - so document it and make that part of the settlement
good luck
Unfortunately, she's a lot smarter than you, even though she's a moron and a cheater.
I'm sure you mean well, but you can't have verbal agreements with someone like her and hope everything turns out ok! That's totally naive and your kids deserve a lot better, including time with you.
You have no choice - you're way overdue on an attorney. He might even be able to recover some of the money she took and if you have proof of her cheating, a lot of your problems could disappear. But you may not have the proof you need because you didn't get the attorney when you needed it!
This will impact the rest of your and your kids' life, so do what it takes to find one. You can't afford NOT to. Don't give her another penny - give it to your new attorney.
I was in a similar situation (but luckily no kids). I called around and found an attorney who I clicked with and did a consultation with her.
In this case she/he can look at your situation and give you general advice and tell you what your rights are. She also provided some documentation for me to read. I didn't have to pay a retainer, just a flat fee for the consult. That 1.5 hours gave me a lot more knowledge and understanding than I had, and it removed enough fear to give me confidence to deal with my ex.
Worst case, if things don't improve then you can retain him/her.
