However, the payments of court costs, restitution, fines, and fees will have to go to the sentencing court. He needs to talk to his probation officer and have supervision... Read more »

That will be determined as part of your settlement. If you have not accepted a property settlement offer you can negotiate to keep the vehicle. They will likely reduce their offer by what they assess the salvage value of the vehicle to be.

Likely depends on the language of the lease agreement, property insurance agreements, and renters insurance agreements. I would suggest taking those documents to an attorney for review to get specific advise.

To give any specific advise an attorney would need to review your lease.

The front entrance to our subdivision was damaged by a pickup truck. The Board approved a contract for repairs in excess of the insurance settlement. They used money from regular dues to pay the difference. I would like to have a copy (or at least see) the contract.

I think it is more than reasonable for you to request a copy or to see the contract as you pay dues tot he HOA. Now if you are entitled to see that contract likely depends on the way the HOA was set up and the language of the documents drafted to create the HOA.
I would start by making the... Read more »

You should speak with an attorney experienced in the American's with Disabilities Act. I do not believe the answer to your question is going to be an obvious one, but it may fall within the ADA. Alabama is a right to work State, which means an employer can fire someone for any reason so long... Read more »
They are only requiring corporate people to go home if unvaccinated. They do not require this for the entire company. If they fire someone would it be legal?

In general Alabama is a right to work state and a person can be fired for almost any reason. It is also likely fine for them to institute this policy for Alabama only. The limitation would be if you are protected under the ADA to avoid receiving the vaccination due to some pre-existing health... Read more »
My husband got arrested in April and his parole officer violated him in June but he hasn't been to court for the charge from April and the parole board already stated that they are sending him to prison

my spouse passed away last yr and we never applied for citizenship. now i have legal problems. and getting close to retirement. I would love to go back to Philippines.

In general, your option is to remain the USA or return to the Philippines. It is not possible to give you specifi advice without additional information.

A person can prepare papers (pleadings) for his or her own divorce. If one person prepares pleadings for another person, that is probably the unauthorized practice of law. There is no requirement that pleadings must be completed by an attorney.

Would need a lot more information. Crimes you have been charged with, what you are pleading guilty to, are any other charges being dismissed as part of the plea, do you have a prior criminal history, etc.
This sheriff threatened to fire anyone seen talking to a particular individual that contributed to his opponents campaign also. The same sheriff in last election threatened to terminate anyone that he found that didn't vote for him? Are these things election violations? I was told possibly... Read more »

Please understand that I do not practice law in GA and will not pretend to know Georgia law or specific Georgia election statutes. However, the question I would pose is: is Georgia a "right to work" state? Another question might be: does Georgia law prohibiting harassment apply to... Read more »

Attorneys are licensed to practice by state or court system, not by area of law. While an attorney may have their primary focus on one area of law that does not mean they can't handle cases in other areas of law.
Attorney's do have a duty to be competent in their representation of... Read more »

General statute of limitations for debt collection actions on a contract is six (6) years. If it is a credit card or open line of credit then it is potentially three (3) years. It seems likely that your loan would be a six year statute. Now because your loan has been transferred between different... Read more »

Short answer is yes, should they is another question entirely. Many of the norms we typically associate with hospital protocols have been altered by COVID-19. If you suffered an injury as a result of that situation it may be worth contacting an attorney for a private consultation.

Plea agreements among codefendants are negotiated separately so they may not be all the same. However, most prosecutors will attempt to treat similarly-situated codefendants in a similar manner. It's difficult to say why your deal is different from the codefendant, but the skill of the defense... Read more »

Illegal gaming/gambling establishment in bessemer al, at 1317 eastern valley rd known as “valley bingo”, operator name unknown, aka “Moe”, believed to be short for Mohammed. Full name unknown.
