If you have money to pay a lawyer this usually happens quicker and if the crime is minor and you have no priors you may be released without having to post. quote:If you don't have a lawyer in the queue what do you do?

That probably depends whether the side that was calling you won or lost. Technically, you are probably in contempt of court, but unless one of the parties or the Court itself drags you in to answer for it, it's possible that nothing happens. If this is a criminal case and the guy got convicted, for example, the DA probably doesn't care that you didn't show up. People refuse to show up for criminal subpoenas all the time. Was it actually a trial or just some kind of evidentiary hearing?

Just call and apologize. It's very unlikely that they will waste the time and effort chasing after you for contempt. They should let you know whether you need to go in another time---minor criminal cases like that get bumped constantly and for many reasons. I know that if I had subpoenaed a witness and they didn't show up for trial, and I told the judge I needed that witness's testimony and I had service on the subpoena, most courts would continue the trial. Just be sure to show up next time.

Jeephand posted:So you seem to be saying that you have to talk to the police and go to jail unless you have a family lawyer on speed dial and a couple thousand laying around for bail and lawyer fees? You also seem to be implying that if the crime you are being charged with bears a fine that is less than the price of calling in a lawyer, you should just plead guilty and pay it? I'd really like some straight info on how to handle the whole situation of dealing with cops without sacrificing my rights. Can anyone add more without the "Hey I'm on SA you're hosed now buddy. Har har." routine? No, what I'm saying is if you are suspected of a crime and there is probable cause for your arrest, you will go to jail when you exercise your right to remain silent unless your lawyer is present. If you can't afford a lawyer, then you have nobody on call to run to jail and get you, which means you will wait up to 48 hours (in jail) until you're paraded to court for arraignment and assignment to a public defender. You can look someone up in the jail phone book and who the gently caress knows how good they will be, but they'll probably at least know how to bail you out of jail. I don't know what about my response made you go "hurf durf not serious." Everyone has this stupid idea that if they commit a crime and get caught, then they can just clam up and say "I want a lawyer" and the police will release them and the next thing to happen will be trial. In reality, when you are pulled over with a bag of weed in your car, the cop will say "do you mind if I search your car?" Assuming you didn't just smoke out and you've got your wits about you and your eyes aren't all bloodshot and the car isn't hotboxed, you will say "I do not consent to any search and I would like to talk to a lawyer before I say anything." The cop will say "Okay, well for my safety I'm going to ask you to step out of the car and I'm going to put you in handcuffs. You're not under arrest. Do you have any drugs or sharp objects in your pockets, any guns or other weapons in the car?" And you, being a normal person, will say something like "No" or "okay" and whoops what's that tremor in your voice that's making the cop think you are lying? The inside of your car and your clothes sure bear a strong vegetable matter smell that the cop is familiar with from years of arresting drug users. Then they will sit you down on the curb for 45 minutes while they call in the K9 to sniff your car. They'll probably talk about the fact that the canine is on the way just within earshot and maybe ask you if you need anything, and maybe you'll stay quiet or maybe you'll start sweating or fidgeting or say something else that will make their probable cause stronger. If you don't have any drugs they will let you go with your ticket or whatever. If you do have drugs you will go to jail without passing GO and that's that. Maybe later down the road, your lawyer can fight with the government about whether the search was legal, whether the drugs should be suppressed. If you are actually charged with a serious crime (that you did commit), and they have you down in the room and are asking you questions, well you might as well clam up and say nothing other than "I don't want to say anything without a lawyer" as long as you can, since while you're in the room you're not in jail and the room is better than the jail if you can stand annoying rear end in a top hat cops. If you're in the room you're going back to jail one way or another so might as well not give them a confession or anything else that will help them.

In case it's still not clear, all of this is the same whether you've committed the crime they suspect or not. No hair off the cop's rear end at all if you go to jail and charges are later refused. Have fun!

An endorsement is just a modification of the insurance policy. The bank wants your homeowner's insurance to list you as the insured so that the mortgage will get paid off if your house burns down, adn they won't have to deal with the headache of you and your insurance company squabbling about who the correct insured is. Call your mortgage broker or the 1-800 number on your insurance policy and have them change the named insured to your new name. They will probably require some proof that you've legally changed your name, like a driver's license or court order. Edit: I see you don't have this information, is there anything on your mortgage that says who the insurer is? If not then yes, your title company should be able to tell you. How are you not getting a copy of your policy renewal every year? Dude, you need to know who your insurance company is in case you have a loss. Do you even know your policy limits and coverages? Incidentally you really should go through everything you have (credit cards, driver's license, voter registration) and get them changed too. This isn't difficult, it just takes a lot of time on the phone and probably a few trips to various government offices. Phil Moscowitz fucked around with this message at 16:57 on Aug 4, 2010 |

What state are you in? Many states have legal requirements that insurance policies send yearly renewals to their insureds. Sounds like yours doesn't, though. You need to keep records of all this stuff. Your premium goes into escrow each month as part of your monthly payment--since your yearly premium is about $840 I don't think you have much coverage, but depending on the value of your house that may be enough, or it may be all you feel like getting. That's your business, but at the very least you should know what you're paying for and know how to make a claim if you need to. When you go to your title company, ask them to make copies of everything in their file for you. There should be something in there telling you who your carrier is, if not an actual declarations page with the policy limits. If they won't do it ask them to give you the file and you make copies. If possible, scan them to a gmail account or something. Sounds like you just got married (or divorced). Congratulations (sorry?)

The term seems vague enough that it could be interpreted to give anything you create over to them. I think you can probably explain the situation about your other job and have that paragraph modified or even stricken, if the tech company doesn't care. Incidentally, although it depends on the university contract of course, anything you develop at the university will probably belong to the university, don't you think?

They have a policy that states that if a married couple are both taking classes, and one of them is going full-time (9 on-campus hours or more), the other spouse gets half-tuition. We have paid up fully until this upcoming semester. We just received an e-mail stating that, since the one taking the most hours fluctuated back and forth between the two of us, we should have notified them of this every semester. They have somehow calculated that we owe a few thousand more than we did previously. I'm waiting to hear what they said when you talked to them and what your contracts say. Your obligations will be governed by the written contracts.

I think they're more concerned with you trying to run off with something you develop at the tech company, therefore would be willing to change that term to reflect that expectation. I would talk to the HR people at the staffing agency and tell them your concerns.

In Louisiana any debts run up during the life of the marriage are community obligations. So yes, that portion of the credit card debt accrued before the divorce should be owed equally. You and your wife are solidary obligors and the credit card company is entitled to recover the total debt from either of you, as you've seen. Assuming no other agreement (such as a consent judgment or partition of the property you signed as part of the divorce) you are entitled to indemnification from your ex-wife for her half of the debt. This also assumes that (a) the debt on the card was accumulated during the marriage and not before, and (b) you never used the card to accumulate additional debt after the divorce. Consult an attorney.

You have two options. (1) Do nothing and hope that you slipped through the cracks. (2) Bring them your ticket and pay it and keep your inspection current from now on. The intricacies of this can probably be explained by a Texas lawyer with various little games about promises to appear and such but I'm not familiar with traffic court in Texas so I won't say anything. If you were in New Orleans I'd tell you to write a certified letter to the court saying that you appeared at the courthouse and were informed by court staff that no citation for you existed on record, and reviewing your files you've determined that your inspection is current (it is, right??), so you consider the matter closed, and if there is any reason they disagree with you, that you expect them to notify you in writing of that fact and provide you with a copy of the citation. But New Orleans is a jungle so not sure if that would work in Texas.

I'm not saying one way or another that you should do what you are talking about. But for information's sake, affidavits signed and notarized in one state are generally recognized by other states when the requirements of the state in which they were notarized are met. Affidavits usually don't need to be in a particular form but depending on the state they will probably need certain information on them that a notary can tell you should be in there. Your friend can bring it in, but I don't know how much good it will do him or if the court will even consider it.

There's nothing he can do to stop her from filing her own suit, but if he thinks the lawyer is going to include him as a plaintiff and he doesn't want to be, he should make sure that he puts it in a letter to the lawyer that he has no interest in bringing the suit. If the lawyer files on his behalf anyway, report him to the bar association. As for the perjury charge, you don't know what she's going to say so that's a bit premature. If she files suit alone, he will most likely need to give a deposition in which case he definitely needs a lawyer present to protect him---it can't be the same lawyer as hers at that point.

First, just realize that I don't have all the facts so I really can't give you a full answer. She does not need him to be a party to the suit if she wants to file suit against the police or DA of whoever for what they did to her. So in that respect, she doesn't need his approval or involvement. However, I'm pretty sure that if that suit gets filed, her lawyer will want to take your friend's deposition--under oath, on the record questions that might not be very good for him--which is why I said he needs a lawyer to defend him in that deposition if it happens. I was under the assumption that his criminal defense lawyer was the one offering to take her case, in which case I would think not only is he conflicted out of that representation (since there may be a conflict between his prior client's interests and his new client's), but he certainly can't be counted on to adequately protect your friend from possibly making incriminating statements during the deposition. As an aside, on the facts you've given me I don't see a snowball's chance in hell that she can win her case. She was in a house where illegal things happened, and got arrested, but the charges were dropped? That's standard operating procedure.

tishthedish posted:Texas. Got in an auto accident four months ago. Other guy's fault. I don't practice in Texas, but I would think you can still go back to the doctor (and you should--your complaints have not resolved). You should also get a lawyer. Have you had an MRI? Do you have a history of back pain or injuries, other accidents? What treatment was it--chiro or orthopedic? Why on earth did you stop going, because you couldn't pay or what? In Louisiana, soft tissue back injuries--i.e. no acute disc problems--are worth $800 to $1500 per month of pain, depending on the venue, plus all medical specials. Minimum liability policy in Texas, I believe, is $25,000, so you should keep in mind that this is what the adjuster is working with.

tishthedish posted:I don't have a lawyer because up until a month ago, I was still a student and unemployed. With my husband's paycheck, we only made it month to month. I didn't get an MRI or anything more than x-rays, but the x-rays showed no damage to any bones(honestly don't know what an MRI would tell me). I had to pay everything up front, and we just couldn't afford for me to see an orthopedist. Plus, with my schedule at school with rotations and classes, I didn't have time. Now I'm in the spot where I am working, but I have a six month probationary period and I can't ask off any time for any reason. I suppose I could talk to my supervisor, but I've only been training for 3 weeks and I don't want to seem....needy. An MRI will show problems in your spinal discs that will not show up in an x-ray, like bulging, herniation, or other cartilage damage. This is how most serious (i.e. not simply muscle strain) back injuries happen--your discs are damaged and begin to encroach on your spinal cord or the nerves branching off the cord to the rest of your body. If you have pain or numbness in your arms or legs, it could be because of impingment of those nerves by a damaged disc. As TBD says regarding the policy limits I meant that if there is a policy on the other guy, it goes up to $25,000 minimum, so the adjuster can go that high. I don't think you're anywhere close, but if he's offered you $800 you know he's definitely got reserves that are more than that. A lawyer can help work the case up for a better claim and will negotiate with the adjuster for you. It's a simple fact that in most cases, a insurance company will accept a higher payment to a lawyer than an unrepresented person, although not always. He can also probably get treatment for you without payment up front. But then he will take a cut of course, anything from 25% pre suit to 40% or more, and any medical treatment he advanced will come out of your part of the settlement. So if you see a chiro for six months and it costs you $1500, and you get the adjuster to cough up a total of $5000, you can see that you will take home about $1500 after a 1/3 contingency fee and medical and court costs are paid. These are just numbers I made up--it could be more or less for many reasons. In plaintiff-friendly areas like some parts of Louisiana it can be worth it to work up soft-tissue, but it might not be--at the end of all your efforts, lawsuit and everything, you might not feel any better and what you end up with in your pocket could be the same or less than what you would've had had you just settled pre-litigation.

You can do what you want with the property damage check, assuming you own the vehicle. If you are leasing it, keep in mind you will have to account for damage at the end of the lease. Your lawyer wants you to get the car repaired because it looks bad for your personal injury claim if the car isn't really damaged to the point that you get it repaired. It also looks kind of like you're an opportunist looking for cash--which a defense lawyer or adjuster (and potentially, a judge or jury) will look at and think "This guy probably isn't hurt as bad as he is claiming, he didn't even bother to get his car fixed."
