What can I do if I lost my job while under the care of my doctor?

Answered 12 years and a month ago by William L. Sanders (Unclaimed Profile)   |   6 Answers
You have no case, unless you can prove that you were discharged for illegal discrimination. Not all discrimination is illegal, and generally, having a doctors excuse does not protect your job. You should consult with an attorney that handles discrimination cases. I do not.

Is this probable cause to pull someone over?

Answered 12 years and 10 months ago by attorney Laurie A. Schmidt   |   3 Answers
No, in order for the stop to be legal- the officer must have a reasonable suspension that a vehicle code violation of some sort occurred. It is not enough that the officer knew you, knew you did not have a license- if you were not driving. If there were any resulting charges; retaining a criminal defense attorney to ensure your fourth, fifth, and six amendment rights are protected. If there was no case filed, you may consider a civil action for a due process violation by the officer.... Read More

Can the DA get a conviction with no prints video or witnesses?

Answered 12 years and 11 months ago by Francis John Cowhig (Unclaimed Profile)   |   6 Answers
Your question requires an attorney consultation. It is not a simple question that can be answered on this type of forum. There are many factors that would need to be considered and evaluated. The short answer is possibly, or at the very least you can also be charged with receiving stolen property. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced criminal defense attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your arrest. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze your case and advise you of your options.... Read More
