I was scheduled to receive $75,000 at age 35 and $375,000 at age 45 through a structured settlement that was created after my father passed away. At age 22, about 10 years ago, I sold a portion of my structured settlement for a lump sum of money. I was about 22 at the time. The judge in San Diego... Read more »
Your description of your legal issues raises more questions than answers. In order to get an informed legal opinion from an attorney you need to retain an attorney for a consultation. Be thorough with your facts, and bring all relevant documents to the consultation, which will consume at least 1... Read more »

It would be best for a Michigan attorney to advise you, but it is important for you to learn sooner than later that this is not an attorney referral service. It is only a Q & A board. Time is of the essence in virtually any type of appeal, so it would be better for you to start making phone calls... Read more »
It's for a book, a boy kills his "possessed by the devil" friend after an exorcism fail, he and his aunt, a specialist in exorcisms, are charged, but want it to be legally accurate
There is no universal national treatment of this. Depending on the state where your story takes place, the matter would be governed by their laws. You could check with attorneys in the state where the setting for your story is. Good luck

His projected release date is still 13 years away on the scdc website.
It really depend on the basis for the case being overturned. In many cases the state will try the case again so bond has to be set to make sure that person shows up for the next trial.
Broadcom Inc issued a workplace place restraining order to against me. I left the company 3 years ago. I contacted some of my coworkers and managers because my life is heavily disturbed by the manager who wrongly terminated me by cheating the HR in the past three years. And I asked their help to...

I am sorry but no one can know the answer to your question without far more information. However if the court has granted the restraining order, you better not violate it. If you wish to challenge the restraining order you will have to locate and consult with an attorney who can be allowed to... Read more »
Hi my Dad has been accused of 2nd degree murder but he had taken a plea to drop the charges to manslaughter for 40 years he has until November to appeal. What do you think we can appeal for and get?
A criminal attorney would have to get a lot more details to answer your question.

I go to court tomorrow, on city wanting to dismiss it. My hearing is set for April 9th, if it's not... Read more »
If you had your April 9th hearing already, it could be a moot point, but attorneys might be apprehensive about charging for services where they have difficulty in predicting an outcome. You could keep trying. Another issue is that the health crisis has paralyzed court operations and professional... Read more »

This depends on whether there was a last will and testament (or Trust that owned the business; or business documents that indicated what should happen) or not. If there was an estate plan that addressed the business, then it controls where it goes. If there was not, see below:

You should repost your question in the Military Law category. You're asking about something which is outside normal civilian appellate practice. Good luck
Tim Akpinar
I know legitimate places exist for this but I am seeing sites saying their lawyers will help me with this and they are only entitled to payment if we win the appeal but I'm skeptical. I do not exactly know what I'm talking about but that just doesn't sound like something a lawyer would do

You raise good points, but in the end, the only person who can ultimately make such an important decision is yourself.

Since taking on the category of Legal Malpractice, I have received hundreds of calls from people relating the horror stories of what their attorney has done to them. My only take away, is that we can only speculate as to why any attorney does anything.

What dose it mean dose he still have 6 yr sentance or not ?? Please put this in simplified terms for me thank you Tanya foti
They sent it back for resentencing on the one case but upheld the rest. So right now, he has three years plus whatever he gets at resentencing. The end result will almost certainly be exactly the same. But the trial court has to impose individual sentences for each offense.
In plea deals it states if you except the plea charges will be taken off and you plea for lesser time
But if not then you are getting the original charges if wanted plus some and looking at a longer sentence
Isnt that bribing,threatening,intimidation
And against our... Read more »
As a question of criminal justice philosophy, your point is well taken. Many legal scholars argue that the massive disparities between what a criminal defendant would be sentenced to if he pled guilty to an offense versus if he went to trial create a constitutional problem.

It would be best if a North Carolina attorney advised you, but you await a response for four weeks, and the whole matter may be moot by now if you already had the hearing you mention.
