Arkansas Questions & Answers
Q: Where can I find a reasonably priced divorce lawyer?
The price of a divorce typically depends on the reasonableness of those getting divorced. The less fighting and more reasonable the client, the more reasonable the price. The more fighting, the higher the price.
Q: If I move to Arkansas and start a business in Arkansas, does that classify me as a resident of Arkansas?
No. Residency tests are different for different areas of the law, e.g. the test for college tuition is not the same as the test to file divorce. You need to look into exactly what you are trying to claim residency for. That being said, if you move to Arkansas and get a place to live, Arkansas driver's license, etc, you will be a resident.
Q: What are the laws in Arkansas for a general blacksmith who wants to start their own business?
You can form either an LLC or a Corporation at the Secretary of State's website. You may want a consultation with lawyer and accountant to discuss what type of entity and tax setup is best for you.
Q: When being arrested can the police with hold why your under arrest and doesn't read miranda rights while putting
Miranda only deals with statements given to law enforcement while you are "arrested," the remedy for a violation is simply suppression. However, it does not sound like any violation occurred here.
Q: How much time can a habitual offender charge add to a plea bargain for felony fleeing
Felony fleeing is a D felony which has a range of 0-6 years, with a small Hab the range is 0-12 years, with a Big Hab the range is 0-15 years. The Hab only increases the range, not necessarily the sentence.
Q: If i was given a ten year sentence on aggravated robbery how much time do i serve
More information is needed. It will depend on your past criminal history and other factors.
Q: Can a person without a lawyer ask for motion to discover at the plea hearing
You can not verbally ask for discovery, but you can file a Motion for Discovery. However, you are much better served to have an attorney do this because the attorney will understand the correct process.
Q: Should the bill of particulars be answered before taking a plea bargain?
If the prosecution has turned over the entire discovery file, that satisfies a motion for a bill of particulars. And yes, you should look at the file before entering a plea.
Q: I have a no contact order against me. The petitioner has been contacting me by text and emails. Is that a violation?
Most likely, the no contact order prohibits you from contacting the protected party and not the other way around. You will want to save a record of the times the party has attempted to contact you and speak with your attorney about the situation.
Q: Can I sue a hospital if I was left alone, unable to walk and I hit my head and pass out. Now I have a concussion
Answered on Mar 31, 2016
It is difficult to know if the injury portion fell below the standard of care. Given you were in the bathroom, most people want privacy, so it might have been OK to leave you there. The other issue is damages, and all you suffered was a concussion, to which you may not have any permanent damages to make it worth going after the hospital.
Q: What should I expect to happen when I go to court
What happens will depend on what your mother has to say to the prosecutor. You will have an initial court appearance called Plea and Arraignment, where you will enter a plea of guilty or not guilty. If you enter a plea of not guilty (which would be wise) you will then have a trial date set.
