What can I do to get him released from hold or speedup the process or to help him at all
Best thing you can do is help him hire the best criminal defense attorney you can find.
She thinks I’m a bad influence because she made assumptions about me. I haven’t hung out with her daughter in over a year or even gone to their house in two. She thinks that her dad will let me hang out with her but her dad and step mom hate me to.
How is this an immigration question? It seems like a matter that involves child custody. You may have rights, but may lose them if this is your child.
I strongly recommend an appointment with a competent California domestic relations attorney that handles child custody issues. Good luck!
I came to the USA in 2014 and i got my citizenship in 2018. I had a baby out of wedlock in a foreign country 2019 and I applied for CRBA but the application was denied. The letter giving to me says that I didn't provide enough evidence that I have lived in the United States for 5 years before... Read more »
The federal statute requires that you present proof that you resided in the U.S. for 5 years (2 years after the age of 14) prior to the birth of your child (out of wedlock) in 2019. If you can not present such evidence then the CRBA will not be approved.
The successor trustee who was handling the administration of my irrevocable trust died. My Aunt was named second as a successor but she declined.
The next successor trustee named in the trust instrument was a bank but the bank was never informed of this. My Dad's widow, (an omitted... Read more »
You said the fiduciary was court appointed. Did you get notice of the ex parte hearing? More facts would be needed to determine if you have any recourse. Seek counsel for a private consultation so that you can provide all the facts of your situation for a thorough evaluation.
The will stated that if my dad dies everything goes to my step mom but my dad died before my grandpa so that doesnt make any sense and I was told by granpda when he passed the house was to be sold and split between grandkids but we are not mentioned at all in this will
A West Virginia attorney could advise best here, but your post remains open for two weeks. I'm sorry for the loss of your grandfather. You could repost your question and add Probate and Estate Planning as categories, as you mention a will. There's no guarantee all posts are picked up, but... Read more »
Depends on whether you were properly served with the petition for termination while you were in rehab.
No, the best time to dispute the facts of the case is before you are convicted or take a plea.
The verdict was affirmed by the CoA, so it would be to the Defendant’s advantage to void the appeal. Mandate issued 3 or so years ago. Is there an option for addressing the issue besides a habeas writ?
This doesn't slant the way you seem to think it does. The rule says: "If the defendant is the appellant, the record must include the trial court’s certification of the defendant’s right of appeal [...] The appeal must be dismissed if a certification that shows the... Read more »
Our Attorney did nothing but threaten and lie. He even kept fees for expert witnesses we didn't get. There is no previous case in history like this one. I've searched for 4 years. Not 1. Does there need to be a previous ? I'm trying hard to come up with Attorney fees but 1st... Read more »
MORE INFO NEEDED.
IT SOUNDS LIKE A CRIMINAL MATTER AND MAYBE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A LOCAL CRIMINAL LAWYER TO DISCUSS YOUR OPTIONS WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA.
NEW LAW IS MADE BY JUDGE RULINGS AND THOSE POLITICIANS THAT REPRESENT US.
OFTEN A LAWYER HAS TO PAY EXPERTS BEFORE S/HE... Read more »
Post conviction. Pre sentence. I fired the Attorney immediately after my son was convicted. Videos not shown. Exculpatory witnesses not interviewed. Evidence lost. The ADA ignored favorable evidence and only picked bad. A fake expert witness. A lying victim. All too much. Felony murder. The victim... Read more »
I feel your pain. The first thing is to know your time limitations. Motion for New Trial- 20 days; Notice of Appeal-60 days. Sounds like there are multiple grounds for Appeal- Ineffective Assistance of Counsel (IAC); Prosecutorial Misconduct, and errors by the Court in admitting and excluding... Read more »

It is necessary to discuss the reason for the findings with and to review your file. What can be done now depends on when you received the denial. If it has been over 30 days you may have no alternative but to refile.
I have A telephone court date April 20 2021 do I need a lawyer?
A California attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two days, and by Monday, you're looking at about a week to find a lawyer for an April 20th court date if you decide you want to go with one. You don't indicate what type of hearing it is, and many courts are... Read more »
It sounds as though you want to file a writ of habeas corpus, and attorney fees vary by lawyer and complexity of a filing, so your best option is to speak to several attorneys who actually do that work to get an idea of price. Not all criminal attorneys have experience in filing habeas claims and... Read more »
Would we be able to hire a lawyer to do an appeal on his case?
Your brother will have 30 days to file a Notice of Appeal. Although your brother has the right to file an appeal on his own, it is advisable to hire an attorney to assist him with this so that he does not miss deadlines and/ or other rules that are in place for appeals.
An Idaho attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for two weeks. Don't lose any more time waiting for a response. Reach out to attorneys without further delay. Nationwide, the timetables for filing appeals tend to be short, within the order of days. Good luck

What steps can be taken and what motions can be filed to help him?
If that is the case, and it can be proven or argued , it would go to surpressing any statements (keeping those statements out of evidence and not used against him) he made and be argued in legal docs called motions.
Depending on the case, one can still be convicted without their own... Read more »
I live in MS, I want to restore my gun rights. My felony was for DUI in 2013. I'm just curious if it is possible to do this without representation.
You can certainly do this without a lawyer. You may want to consider hiring a lawyer to simply draft the necessary documents for you, which could bring down the costs significantly.
Appeal Court and third hearing, both Judges have made it understood there is more to this case and want to hear more from me before deciding.
I have a MOUNTIAN of evidence to prove my side and Judge will need "Order" to throw it out.
First, and eviction IS a civil matter. (Everything that is not criminal is a civil matter.) Unfortunately, there is absolutely no way to know what actions are necessary without reviewing the whole file to figure out what the problem(s) is. Frequently when a judge says that there is "more...

First, I am not a South Carolina lawyer. However, I suppose a person will file a "criminal appeal" the same way as one would file any other appeal. The rule of thumb is to file a notice of appeal within 30 days of the trial court's final judgment--in criminal cases that's... Read more »
An Arkansas attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for a week, and if you're dealing with appeals as a general matter, time is usually very much of the essence in taking steps to preserve your rights. From the description, it isn't fully clear what type of matter this... Read more »
