What would a lawyer tell a client if the client told him he just committed a armed robbery?
Q. Someone walks into a lawyers office, and asks to talk to a lawyer. He proceeds to tell the lawyer that he has committed a armed robbery the night before. What would the lawyer tell the client, and what steps would they take in solving this case.
Asked by michael r - Thu Jun 17 18:16:41 2010 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The lawyer can't advise the client to flee the jurisdiction. The lawyer can't advise the client to destroy evidence or threaten witnesses or try to bribe them. The lawyer would ask why this person is making such a claim? Does this person wish to turn himself into the police? The lawyer may advise the client to surrender to the police because that could reflect positively when it comes time to sentence the defendant.

What kind of lawyer should I go to if I need assistance with both divorce AND financial matters immediately?
Q. In other words, I am going through a divorce for financial reasons. I am not going to declare bankruptcy, but need legal assistance to deal with creditors. I have a small but steady source of income; enough to pay for a lawyer on a payment plan and enough to pay back what I will owe to bills and creditors, but the creditors will not work with me and I want to do it all through a lawyer. I make too much to qualify for Legal Aid or any other assistance of that sort.

What can a lawyer do for me if i just got a speeding ticket while on deferred disposition?
Q. I live in Texas and got a ticket 2 months ago and was granted deferred disposition meaning that if i do not get another ticket with in 90 days it will be dismissed... however i just received another... i have heard of people paying a lawyer to possibly "work deals" with the judges to get something dismissed or reduced... anyone know what a lawyer could possibly do for me? Is it worth it?
Asked by somewhatdamaged2 - Sun Jul 8 18:28:11 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. You pretty much got your deal with the deferred dispostion. I used to be a law student, and from what I can tell you your best bet is to accept responsibility for what you did. Once you get a deal like that and you mess up again, a judge is going to be much less likely to want to give you another chance because in his eyes you already got a second chance and you kind of messed it up. A lawyer will charge you more than what it is worth (remember for them they won't do anything unless the make some money), and you will probbaly still end up paying a fine. Call the judge and see if you can talk to him yourself, accept responsiblity, admit you messed up, and maybe lighten up on the foot a little bit. Good luck to you.

What type of lawyer would handle car manufacturer defects?
Q. I recently had some problems with my car in which I had to take it back to the local dealership and a special engineer flew in to diagnose it. They finally came to a conclusion saying it was a defected car and they're sending a proposal to buy it back. But if the proposal is too low or just unreasonable I plan on hiring a lawyer and sueing. What kind of lawyer would be right for this situation?

A. I've been in your shoes with the defective vehicle buyback (and I'm a lawyer)! My buyback process was great - I turned over my defective vehicle, and the dealership delivered the new car. (Obviously, there was quite a bit of paperwork to go along with that. Also, in my case, the dealership had actually had my car for 1 month prior to the buyback decision. During that time, various engineers flew out to look at it, and they tried to fix the software problem. Ultimately, it was deemed unsafe, so I never got that car back. I had it for 3 days when it went into the service department. To further complicate my situation, the vehicle I bought was a brand new model of car which had just been released. Supply could not keep up with demand,… [cont.]

A. There's a lot of unanswered questions here. Do you still work for the company? Has a Court Petition been served on you, and are you named as an individual in the lawsuit? Did the incident(s) of alleged sexual harassment happen at work? If this is a work-related issue and the lawsuit was filed against the company AND you are named as an individual in the lawsuit, call the company and ask to speak to the attorney's handling the lawsuit for the company. Typically companies will defend their employees in the lawsuit (if there aren't any criminal charges filed against the employee). They will advise you of your legal rights. If you were not named as an individual in the lawsuit, you can be subpoenaed to testify in court, but you would… [cont.]

Was wondering if anyone know about how much it cost for a descent lawyer. I live in Houston but i may need one in Dallas being she lives close to it. Any suggestions?
Asked by mr. clean - Wed Oct 4 11:28:01 2006 - - 4 Answers - 1 Comments

A. Negotiate it your own self. You don't need a lawyer if they are drawing up the paperwork. Texas offers "standard" guidelines for visitation with children in Texas, guidelines that work for 1,000 of families across our state and our country. The Standard Possession Order (SPO) clearly outlines visitation for "Non-Possessory Parents". It is worth knowing and understanding. Go here - it is all spelled out in black and white.

Asked by lisa <3 - Fri Sep 26 11:04:14 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. There is no script for any hearing. Instead, a lawyer first determines what law will govern the decision, what factors will be considered. Then the lawyer tries to figure out what facts exist that are relevant to those considerations and only then does the lawyer try to figure what questions to ask of which witness. What you ask depends on what you are trying to prove.

A trust CAN continue for generations if it is set up to do so. What you DO need an attorney for is to review the trust and determine what should be done now.

Why did a lawyer who is a notary public put date on some affidavits and not others?
Q. I received notification from a lawyer about pending case. He affixed notary stamp. There is no date on stamp and on some affidavits, he put only the month and year, but no date. Are these papers legal?
Asked by rena b - Sat Jul 4 11:30:08 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. If the dates left off are on the notary stamp,the notarization is invalid. That doesn't mean the document itself is not valid. If the dates are left off of the document, that might be a problem, but it depends on what dates were left blank and why. It could be they don't know the exact date yet and that will be added. Generally if there is such a problem in a legal document, you can challenge it, but then the judge will usually give them a chance to fix it. If this is your attorney, ask him. If you are being sued you should get an attorney. Depending on what the suit is for (if that's what the papers are about) your insurance company may provide a lawyer if you have one.
