Can the police pull me over for driving my car with a plate that says its suspended?

Answered 12 years and 11 months ago by Mr. Robert Jason De Groot (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
I find it very odd that the plate says it is suspended. The plate might be expired. When a plate has been expired for over 4 months, the cops can pull you over and arrest you. Your driver's license being suspended creates another reason to arrest you. What you need to do is hire an attorney in your area who handles these types of cases.... Read More

My best friend

Answered 13 years and a month ago by attorney Bruce Robins   |   1 Answer
If your friend died before he executed a written will, the property he owned at the time of his death, including his car, will go to his close relatives or, if there are none, to the state.  In order for you to get title to the car, absent the consent of your friend's heirs, you will have to go to Court and prove either (a) that your friend had a valid oral or "nuncupative" will in which he left you the car (this is very unlikely, as, in most states, oral wills are valid only in very rare circumstances); or (b) that your friend gave the car to you before he died.  If you have no witnesses, it will be difficult for you to prove a gift.  However, if you succeed in Court, the Court will issue an order which will allow you to get your name on the title....

Well, someone may try writing to the marriage bureau of whatever City or District or State in which the marriage occurred. With the graft and corruption in Mexico, you will probably have to pay all sorts of people. On the other hand, you could go down there, and go to the bureau and order the certificate, and stand there while they photocopy it for you. Lots of luck.... Read More

Can I be charge with DUI under these circumstances?

Answered 13 years and a month ago by Mr. Robert Jason De Groot (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
You should not be charged with driving on a suspended license if you were not driving. Your facts are kinda confusing here.

How much at fault are we for our dog biting another dog?

Answered 13 years and 2 months ago by Mr. Robert Jason De Groot (Unclaimed Profile)   |   2 Answers
It seems to me that comparable negligence should be utilized under these circumstances. With it each party would share in the liability. You have apparently already paid about 66% of the damages, and you should only be 50% liable.
