My 21 year old daughter was involved in a 'cat fight' with a 40 year old woman. The woman started the fight by grabbing her hair and pulling her to the ground ( I was there, I saw it and I stated so in my police statement).

The other person left the scene before the police arrived and my daughter received a ticket for disturbance of the peace. We have no knowledge of whether or not the other person involved recevied a ticket of any kind.

My daughter's court date is tomorrow. Yes, she is guilty of the charge, however she did not start the fight.

She is concerned about her record because she is in the health care industry. We cannot afford an attourney and in our small area public defenders are attrocious.

Is a no contest plea the way to go in this case? My understanding of the no contest plea is that you admit that the facts happened as they did, however you do not feel that you are guilty?

Can someone give me a little guidence on what she should do?

I'll try to keep this short as possible. My friend has a boyfriend that was in a bad accident that resulted in brain injury. She's been going at least once a week, sometimes two days, even the whole week at times to help take care of him, for I think close to 3 years (and it's about 80 miles one-way). His mom and stepdad go everyday except the day(s) my friend goes. Anyway, my friend and the guy fell in love with each other throughout that time. He's not able to walk or talk but he can write and motion, stuff like that, and he asked my friend to marry him. His mom figured things out and didn't like the idea, so since she has power of attorney over him, she fixed things so that my friend nor anyone from her family, a messenger, no one whatsoever can get ahold of him. Anyway, my question is does anyone know of any loophole to where she can go see him whether his mom likes it or not? She's known the guy since they were kids & breaks her heart to think she'll never see him again.

embezzlement. His bail is 10,000.00. I am so afraid for him. I don't understand why he would do such a stupid thing. I'm a single parent and I love my son very much. I have always done the best I could for him. He comes from a good family. I know it's going to cost a fortune to obtain an attorney and I live pay check to pay check. Can anyone give me a little advice regarding what we're going to face in court and how I would go about obtaining a pro bono attorney for such situation? I don't know what to do. Please Help!

I was just sitting here thinking about how many people even have a lawyer?Most probably don't.I had a criminal matter 2 years ago in which the judge said could be expunged if I didn't get in anymore trouble.So I go to a different lawyer than the one who originally handled my case and "lawyer B" tells me to go back to "lawyer A".Anyway that's what made me think of this question.Would you say most lawyers don't get much business.It ain't like we're always getting into situations that require legal advice.

I need some legal advice. My daughter is 18 yrs old and has been seeing a boy (17) for the last year. The two of them are crazy about each other. He's been good for her and she's been good for him. The problem is his parents. They've been slandering my daughter, and saying some awful things about her. They've had her in their home, a number of one time. Yet they feel they have the right to say these things. They have said that she has cut his b_lls off, and that the only reason he is with her is that she s_cks his c_ck, and that she has probably done it to 500 guys. His mother even had the nerve to ask if she was pregnant. I'd like to know what my legal options are, as this has gone way too far, and I'm tired of seeing my daughter crying and upset because of these insensitive immature people. Somebody please help!

Internal government corruption, homelessness, aids, cancer, roads, schools, innocent in jails and prisons, tax rates smothering small business and much more. All the while agreeing on the stripping of our personal liberties. Why do they not tackle issues that may help Americans more than Geese restrictions, smoking on a street corner restrictions etc.
In the history of mankind there has usually been a time in every society where a small group of self declared "special people" starts whittling away at the lives of the public in the name of this or that and it has always ended up being too much control and terrible long term results. Are we there?.
