What you described is not an acquittal. If the jury had returned a not guilty verdict you'd have been free to go without any post trial conditions like reporting to a probation officer. Instead, it sounds like you were convicted but if you comply with the provisions of the probation you'll have...
If you already have a lawyer, then ask the lawyer that question. You've not given us much information to go on to tell you whether it's a possibility. What is the court date for — is a trial, motion hearing, or something else? Is it a civil or criminal case? And, in general terms, what is the...
It can make perfect sense when you see it through the eyes of the person/enity doing the garishment. The problem I see is that a change in the court order for support between the parents is not binding on the person/entity that is doing the garnishment. The garnishment order it received earlier...
Exactly. People do ask for lower fees/discounts but that doesn't mean the attorney will agree to that. If you need an attorney but can't afford to pay the fee, you may be able to get help from a variety of organizations depending on what issue you have. If you've been charged with a crime the...
Attorney practices vary significantly. When it comes to email, some only respond to an email from a potential new client if they believe that they may be able to assist them. That's often because of the flood of email that hits their email inbox each day. Regardless, if you haven't received a...
Most prospective nonbusiness clients do not try to negotiate over fees, much like they don't try to negotiate doctor bills, tax preparation fees, vet bills, the cost of stuff they buy at stores, or much of anything. American consumers grow up learning that the price on the tag is always the...
Well, I can understand a landlord not being keen about a tenant suggesting that solution. :)
Stop gap measures are worth trying while you work out whether something more is needed to get a more permanent fix to those roaches. They supposedly can withstand radiation from a nuclear bomb (though...
Or push your landlord to hire a professional pest control company to get it done right. For every roach you see there are a lot more you don't see. Household pest sprays typically just reduce the population but don't get rid of them all. You might not see any for a while, but as the population...
This is a type of camera called a PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) dome security camera. Placed up high on a pole they are excellent for getting a wide view of larger area like an intersection. They don't have radar to measure speed and are typically not connected to the traffic light system to catch red...
The good software programs will. The bad ones might not. You didn't say what program you're using so this is the best answer I can give. Like any other product, you need to do your homework and understand what it will do and how reliable it is. All tax software is NOT equal.
I agree the answer the answer is no because of lack of economic damages if the claim at issue is one of negligence by allowing the employee access to customer records.
However, lack of economic damages would not be a problem for a claim of sexual harassment. Maryland law does allow noneconomic...
As the OP has described the problem, this is not a tort issue. The problem is simply that the Building Department hasn't taken any action on the request for 2+ years and the OP wants to get the court to order that the Building Department issue that determination now rather than waiting any...
It's not injunctive relief you'd need to seek in your lawsuit. You'd sue for a writ of mandamus. "Ordinarily the legal action of mandamus is the proper remedy to compel the performance of an official act by a public officer." Heron v. Garcia, 1944-NMSC-058, ¶ 9, 48 N.M. 507, 153 P.2d 514, 515...
