This this is the question of a convicted felon protect themselves?

There is no higher court or lower court that can prevent you from protecting yourself it is your god-given right the government cannot take that away from you for protecting yourself you have the right to live and no one can take that right away from you

Justin’s Answer

A felony conviction prohibits you from possessing firearms. This has been established for decades. However, an experienced attorney can try to get your felony expunged and reinstate your firearm rights.

If a motorcycle was involved in a high speed and know one was caught but bike was found and impounded, can charge owner

  

If a motorcycle was involved in a high speed and know one was caught but bike was found and impounded, can charge owner

Previous owner has only signed back of title they bought 4 yrs ago…can they wait for someone to claim bike then pursue charges

Justin’s Answer

Mere ownership of the bike probably wouldn’t be enough for conviction. However, there is circumstantial evidence that could contribute to that. This question requires you to speak with a local attorney as there are too many variables.

2nd degree assault on a minor had first court appearance told the judge I’m going to hire my own lawyer after a few consultations I want to have a few more will the judge grant me another continuance and give me more time to hire an attorney

Justin’s Answer

Chances are very good. Felony cases tend to move very slowly and the judge should understand the need for counsel in a serious case like this.

Do i still have to pay rent if i give my 30 day notice

  

Do i still have to pay rent if i give my 30 day notice

im moving to be closer to my job

Justin’s Answer

It depends on the terms of your lease and whether you properly gave notice. If you were in a month-to-month lease and gave at least one month’s notice, then no, you may move out without paying rent. However, if you are breaking the lease early or didn’t give proper notice you do have to pay rent. There are many variable to consider; you should contact an attorney if you have more questions.

I don’t want to testify against my boyfriend but I’m on parole will that be a parole violation

   

I don’t want to testify against my boyfriend but I’m on parole will that be a parole violation

I called the cops on my boyfriend now he says he’s getting charged with domestic violence in the second degree and kidnapping in the second degree when really I was just worked up and overwhelmed at the time I gave my statement I just wish this would all go away I’m on parole I’m not sure what will happen if they try to get me for filing a false statement

Justin’s Answer

If you did give a false statement to police, then yes, that is a crime and probably a parole violation. If you refuse to testify, a judge can hold you in contempt and put you in jail until you do testify. This sounds like a difficult situation; you will have to contact a criminal defense attorney to get more information.

When going to court tomorrow

My sister has bullied me for over 50 years, I was her daughters Personal Assistant for 3 years she has Cerebral Palsy. We are very close and my sister can not stand it. I have been there for over 20 years my niece is 25 were best friends we did everything together. I had to file a Ex Parte then I was granted a Full Order Of Protection against. Then she filed on me her and her 2 daughters. Nothing but lies are on the papers I can prove/

Justin’s Answer

This may be too late, but the judge should have asked questions before granting the protective order. They should consider the fact that you have a protective order and that this action might be retaliatory. If the order was granted, you can contact an attorney and attempt to have the order reversed.

This question is too specific to answer in a public forum. You need to contact a local defense and/or divorce attorney to help you.

If if someone has a restraining order on me but we still was texting and hanging out in my am I in violation

  

If if someone has a restraining order on me but we still was texting and hanging out in my am I in violation

My ex put a restraining order on me but she contact me first told me that she did do it days go by we are talking and hanging out and in violation an is her restraining order revoked

Justin’s Answer

If the restraining order is still valid, then yes, you are in violation. Even if she contacts you first. She cannot undo or turn off the judge’s order. In fact, I frequently see this situation where one partner gets a protective order then appears to make up in order to trap the other person. Stop talking to her.

How can I get a divorce from a man who won’t sign the papers from my attorney so we can precede with the divorce ?

  

How can I get a divorce from a man who won’t sign the papers from my attorney so we can precede with the divorce ?

My hopefully soon ex husband has had the papers for a year and half. He keeps refusing to go to the embassy or consulate in Honduras to get the papers notorized. I only communicate with him by email because he has stalked my children (not his), my family, and me online. He will say I will sign them but then never does. He is holding me hostage in an unwanted marriage. And he took me for all my money and I can’t afford to pay an attorney $2500. I’m disabled and I’m not receiving any help from my kids father, so I’m very limited on my income.

Justin’s Answer

If he has been served or is avoiding service, you can go to a contested hearing and get a default judgment. This is a difficult situation, however, so you will probably need an attorney to help you.

Is my husband allowed to buy me drinks?

He is 23 and I’m 19. I live in Missouri and can’t find anything on it.

Justin’s Answer

No he cannot. However, oddly enough, Missouri allows your parents to give you small amounts of alcohol with meals, celebrations, or religious services.
