My husband and I hired a lawyer to enter on a not guilty dwi case. My husband already went to court and entered his plea. It was set to go to trial. We hired a lawyer to go with him to trial. Trial date was rescheduled by the lawyer. Lawyer did not inform us on the new trial date, and did not go to court. Now there is a bond revocation hearing. The lawyer told the bondsman one thing, us another. He told us that he entered a guilty plea and had the license suspended for a year. We know for a fact that this is the outcome we would have gotten if we hadn't hired a lawyer. We could have done this on our own. What can we do? The lawyer wants $700 for two 20 minute phone calls, and changed my husband's plea without telling us.

There's been a lein on my truck from my best ol' ex-friend Farrel Pride of Pride shady cars in sturgeon mo since I bought it from him 2 years ago. Through his shady, lying, deviant ways I stopped making payments. The truck is half paid for and I've not driven it since the deal went sour. I've also done alot of work to it. Can I charge storage and get a mechanics lein myself, or a salvage title. He makes no effort to reposess it, or come to a compromise. I suggested donating it to the church, but he's a greedy money grubbing S.O.B and I want some closure. The vehicle is in great shape, but nothing but a yard ornament.

Does anyone know of two states that handle the same crime differently? If you know a website that is, dedicated to this type of research, I would appreciate it if you could share the link. For example if I was in Ohio and stole a car, I would spend six years in prison. If I was in North Carolina and got caught with the same crime, I would only serve two years. Can someone please give me web link where the states have different laws for the same crime?

Will it show up as "expungment"? After it is taken off the record, do I still have to write it down on an application if it asks about any conviction in the past?

They're new neighbours. I've introduced myself but they never talk and they run away when we are outside. (LOL).

They're building like a granny flat under their house or something without building permits. If it is a flat it will impact on my amenity by reason of the increased density, noise and parking requirements.

Should I dob them in to the authorities and let them handle it - putting my name on the public record? What would you do?

This is a values question . . . While walking through Wal Mart I noticed several t-shirts for sale in the children's department with slogans such as "I refuse to do homework" or "Too cute to work." Considering that Wal-Mart is the largest retailer inside the United States, what does this say about our youth culture? What does this say about the parents who purchase such shirts? Keep in mind, Wal-Mart routinely refuses to carry music with offensive lyrics and blocks magazine covers with sheets of plastic if the cover is deemed to "racy." I thought it was an intersting economic statement . . . how about you?

He's always doing that. One time I went home early from work and sure enough, my front door was open and I came in and he was in my kitchen. When I ask him about it, he goes "oh I was just checking to make sure your sink is working properly" and its been going on quite often. I thought the landlord are only to enter your home without your permission when there's an emergency, like fire. So I was wondering is he allow to enter my home without my permission.

The accident...
A few weeks ago my daughter was a passenger in a car when an industrial food service truck turned left in front of them effectively hitting them head on. We were lucky in the fact that it could have been much worse as her door was jammed shut and the car caught fire. Thank goodness for the bystanders that extracted her from the car.
Her situation...
She is 19 and is/was in cosmetology school. Her left hand was broken, she is left handed. Her right foot was broken. Obviously she has not been able to continue her school, is unable to drive and has had to move back home during her recovery. No surgery was required in either case.

I will preface the question by stating that she did not win the lottery by being in this accident. We are not looking for some huge settlement, just what would be reasonable compensation for her pain, suffering and set-back in her cosmetology training.

In Dubai homosexuality is punishable by death. It's not enforced seriously, but still. The Ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed,

http://www.dubaicup.ae/images/sheikh-mohammed.jpg

is married to Sheikha Hind, his "senior wife", she is also the rulers second cousin. Further, he is married to the Princess of Jordan, Haya bint Al-Hussein,

http://www.princesshaya.net/

So, explain how, in a country that is against homosexuality can be ruled by a man that is not only incestuous, but a polygamist? I think two men living together is more acceptable, compared to two wives, one being a second cousin.

My father was arrested about 2 weeks ago for drug-related issues and his court date is set for January 8th, 2009. My family cannot afford a lawyer, but some friends told me about some ranch that's around here that serves as an alternative to jail. I called and ended up right back where I started. This is a first offense, he's never had trouble with the law before, but since he's Hispanic and we're in Central Arkansas, the odds of him getting a fair chance are slim. How can I be more involved and maybe talk to the judge or someone that can help? I need to find other alternatives to jail. but I don't even know where to start. Help!

I live in PA and the next time I go for my doctor's appointment (check-up), I was thinking about telling my doctor about me having sex, if he asks me. But I was wondering is my doctor required to tell my parents. If my parents found out, let me just say it wouldn't be a good thing at all.

I'll be 16 in 3 weeks (underage) but would I still be protected by doctor-patient confidentiality laws if I told him I am sexuality active & I would like some information on the birth control pill?
Is the doctor-patient confidentiality law still in affect for a minor when it comes to sex?

So I got a ticket for no clear reason but as per the cop I did not completely stop when light was orange. I want to know how to proceed from here:

1) I believe I go to the court on the date printed on ticket and plead "not guilty" and the court will assign another date for the trial?

2) Is hiring a lawyer necessary or can I plead "not guilty" by my own - I think I can defend for myself (it was after all orange light not red).

3) Will hiring a attorney help? If yes, where and how do I find one, and do I have to find one before the first ticket date?

I already have two tickets (last year) and want to avoid this one. Please advice.

Eight years ago my husband and I bought a manufactured house in Michigan. It is on a piece of property of its own. After we bought it we found out that it is not secured to the foundation, which is illegal. We also found that it had faulty plumming that was recalled years ago. We have replaced much of the plumming ourselves, but we are looking to sell the house soon and cannot do so until the illegal issues have been dealt with. Is it too late to go back to the previous owner and make them deal with it? All of these things were certainly not disclosed in our original aggreement.

I retained a lawyer when I lived in another state, moved away. That lawyer stated that he will no longer represent me. I have requested my paperwork and at least some of my payment to be returned to me. I have not received any response or acknowledge me in anyway.

I am looking for an attorney in Sevier County Tennessee for visitation with my daughter. Her mother & I were never married and she left Ohio to move to Tennessee while she was pregnant. After 10 months of waiting for paternity to be done, I found out I am in fact the father. I went to Tennessee to visit with my daughter for a weekend. That's all I could afford. Now her mother is being totally unreasonable. She's crazy. She works 60 hours a week & never spends time with our daughter. Child support is being established right away (of course) in Ohio; but what about my visitation rights? It's not my fault she moved out of state. I just want to see my daughter. Looks like I am going to have to travel 8 hours for court & visitation. I need a good attorney. Any one?
