Currently going for custody of my daughter, the mother had an ofp against me through out her pregnancy citing that I abused her on ONE occasion, she filed the ofp at least a month after the alleged abuse and the police were never called.
To my understanding everything she said in the ofp... Read more »
The short answer is no. I’m not sure which attorneys told you that you shouldn’t hire a lawyer for the OFP hearing, but that wasn’t good advice. There is no way to unring the bell and have the judge ignore that a different judge made a finding that there was domestic abuse.
I m looking for help. My car was taken by the police early September it is still on a hold according to defective it is on a homicide hold. That is all the information I was given. Im wondering if there is anything you all can suggest in hope that my car can be released
All you can really do is keep reaching out to see when the vehicle might be released. It all depends on if they’ve completed investigating the contents of the vehicle.
A few months back I was pulled over for speeding. The officer asked if I had been drinking and I told him that I had a few drinks earlier in the night. I performed some Field Sobriety Tests and was asked to use a breathalyzer. The breathalyzer showed a blood alcohol content of .079. Being that the... Read more »
The ticket is public information and the insurance company can certainly access it if they want to. The bigger question is whether the company will seek it out.

Once your attorney has the criminal Complaint(s) and Sentencing Order(s), they will be able to tell what the maximum and more likely amount of jail time is possible. The court would likely set bail on the new charges within a day or two (excluding weekends). But on the probation violation, it... Read more »
I’m not sure what you mean be representation, but a power of attorney form will allow a person to grant decision-making power to another.
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 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.

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.
