i have a trial coming up and was stated no lawyers, could i motion for one?
What kind of case is it? You're always entitled to have an attorney, but not necessarily one for free.
More information is needed to answer your question. In some cases, the Family Medical Leave Act and/or the Americans with Disabilities Act, as well as state laws, can provide you with job protection for missing work due to a serious medical issue. You should contact an employment law attorney in... Read more »
For instance could it be 1 year in jail and 4 years house arrest
It depends on the charge and if it is an actual “mandatory” minimum. You should consult directly with a criminal defense attorney about the specifics of your situation.
Hello, I am in the middle of a child support fight. Deciding how much money is owed to the other. Two kids involved. One of the parents works in the restaurant field and makes tips. Not all tips are included in the taxable income.
Tips are included (and taxable). Bank statements can be requested in discovery or subpoenaed.
Can I contest it and report that? Is it worth it/will it get me out of my ticket?
Yes, of course, every speeding ticket can be contested, and should be. Focus on the desired outcome. Perhaps that can be met by agreement. Next, gather all facts and keep an open mind to all possible legal defenses. That defense may be the best available, or another might be better. If it's... Read more »
From the start my kids have not wanted dads gf and kids with on their supervised visits, but he Dosent care or acknowledge their feelings/wants. Situations keep happening & things keep getting worse and he will not remove the problem for the sake of his kids. What else can I do for my kids?
It depends upon what restrictions are put in his parenting time in the divorce decree. If it doesn’t prohibit his GF and kids, he can bring them unless you bring a motion to modify and can demonstrate that a prohibition is in your kids’ best interests.
I'm a Minnesota resident
If convicted (by paying the fine or losing a trial), yes. Wisconsin will report the conviction to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety for inclusion on the driver's license record (assuming a Minnesota driver's license). To avoid that, fight the ticket in Wisconsin to try to... Read more »
Have been good and outstanding the whole time on probation with no violations
It's difficult to understand what might be a question here. Is the situation one where a person is on probation in a criminal case, and the period of the stayed sentence is about to expire, but two conditions of the stay have not yet been completed? If so, the Probation Officer may ask the... Read more »

You should make your parents aware of this matter and if they choose, they can call me to discuss your options. Another avenue is to have your parents contact the MN Department of Labor and Industry's wage and hour division. Hope that helps. leliilaw.com
I completed everything except the driving with care and the med impact panel I'm from Minnesota I work full time in healthcare I lost my grandma and my mother just in the last 7 months due to covid plus nine of my residents that have been long term with me I have complied with everything that... Read more »
I would expect that a probation violation might be filed. I’d suggest that you complete the driving with care and victim impact panel ASAP. Additionally, telling the court that you’ve done everything that was asked of you is a bad idea because you haven’t. You haven’t completed the DWC... Read more »
my mom is undocumented. I recently saw that she can get a visa through her siblings since they were born here. However, both of them sponsored my aunties husband to get his visa. Can they still sponsor her? How long does the process usually take?
Yes.
If your mother's children were born in the United States and turned 21 years of age they could petition your undocumented mother to adjust the status to Lawful Permanent Residency.
Have time a curfew at the house and didn't want to arrive home late, so I had to rush to get home fast and, my mom was sick, so I had to take care of her in all ways, so I had to sacrifice myself for hers.
i was trying to know if I can go on probation for the ticket I've received
There isn't really a question here. Were you charged with speeding? Have you already paid the fine and consequently plead guilty to the speeding ticket? You need to more clear on what you are asking for anyone to help you.

The request for a Harassment Restraining Order is pretty straightforward. You would simply need to submit one in the county where the facility is located. An HRO could prohibit the former client from being within a certain distance of the facility. You are going to have difficulty submitting a... Read more »
I am looking at printing some political shirts for my business in the coming years. I am wondering what the rules are for using political slogans on products that are intended for sale? Thanks
There are slogans, and there are slogans.
Even if the First Amendment protects free speech (slogans do fall under that), their purpose, content and meaning may be falling outside of the First Amendment protection if the slogan calls for violence, incites riots, unrests, or promotes open... Read more »
A power of attorney ends when the principal dies. It also ends when the agent dies, unless there was a successor agent named, in which case it continues in favor of the successor agent.
I assume that the attorney also told the court. The court will likely reschedule it for a mutually-agreeable date.
They are now telling him he was never booked or fingerprinted. Can he fight that? Or does he have to comply and go in since it was their mess up and he was technically never arrested for the crime.
Getting booked and fingerprinted is a requirement when someone is charged with a DWI. I’m guessing that didn’t happen because of the pandemic. So he will need to go through the process. It doesn’t take long and he won’t have to spend any time in jail.
It's impossible to answer without more information. Sometimes a court will set a bail amount that covers more than one case. Other times, separate bail is set for each case. There is no way to answer this question without access to more information like your boyfriend's name and the... Read more »
My felony drops to a misdemenor when probation is completed. My probation will be complete in the next 3 months and want to know if i can purchase and own firearms or not, or if I can have my rights restored
That depends what you were convicted of and whether it is a crime of violence. The question is impossible to answer without that information.
I was within about 30 ft of a speed limit sign that stated 60 mph. I took a picture of it thru my dash. Thought if I was within sight of the next speed limit sign, I could justify that speed?
The speed limit becomes effective at the sign. You could certainly argue that you thought the speed limit had increased. But it also depends where the officer clocked your speed.
