    If asked for an ID during a traffic stop, what should I do?

    More often than not, when I've approached a driver they have already had their ID and other papers ready to go. No, simply reaching for your wallet does not give an officer reason to shoot you. Most people can manage to pull their wallet from their pocket without making it look like a "furtive...

    Speeding in the workzone Indiana

    That's a doozy of a ticket. In addition to the fines for the work zone mentioned above, you would also have the fine for speeding 35 over the limit. This is going to end up costing you a lot of money. In the end. I think a win is anything that keeps it from significantly harming your insurance...

    Assault...Lawyer or No Lawyer

    I fully agree. It sounds like you may very likely have ongoing medical expenses as a result of this and you will likely benefit from having an attorney. I suggest you at least speak to a couple attorneys to help decide when you should hire one.

    Was not arrested or ticketed however firearm was confiscated

    Under the circumstances, I would suggest that a hefty fine is much more likely than any kind of prison term. If you are convicted of an offense, you may have to surrender any other firearms that you have.

    Help interpreting settlement form

    In general, you should assume that the document is worded in a way that benefits the insurance company and not you. If your injuries are such that you are worried about future costs then you need to negotiate different language.

    City Ordinance - consumer responsible for under street Sewage

    What is the ordinance where you actually live, is there one? If not, how you fight it is by appearing at the appropriate city or county meetings and having your say when the rules are being proposed and debated.

    Other Criminal Charges & Offenses How likely is a judge to reduce a wobbler felony at px?

    I don't know the details of your situation, but what you say here is exactly what I was talking about. The more you can show that the victim did not actually fear your threat, the less likely it should be handled as a felony. Actual fear of an imminent threat is a critical element.

    Breaking a Lease Able to Break a Lease Due to Excessive Noise from Neighbors?

    Did you ask the landlord about ending the lease? If they aren't going to enforce their rules, they might just let you go to avoid further complications.

    Did your contract say anything about a required time frame to change the form of payment?

    Other Criminal Charges & Offenses How likely is a judge to reduce a wobbler felony at px?

    Well you do have a right to a speedy trial. At some point you waived that right. You have the means to speed things up if you want to, but it may not be a good idea to do so.. As for what the judge will do, Magic Eight Ball says "Outlook hazy". Regardless of what the judge may do, you should...

    Other Criminal Charges & Offenses How likely is a judge to reduce a wobbler felony at px?

    If you are wanting the offense to be tried as a misdemeanor, then you need to be able to show that the evidence does not support trying it as a felony. The more serious the threat is, in the more reasonable the victims's fear that the threat would be carried out, the less likely it will be...

    Sold car to junk, now they're using same license plate?

    I was asking you if the plates were on a different vehicle. If the plates were on the correct vehicle when it went through the toll then you are probably stuck with the fee. You could pursue the buyer in small claims to recover your loss, but it likely is not going to be worth the effort.
