How does the impeachement of witness work when the witness has had prior charges and remaing charges? And how do you check a witness credibility?

Answered 8 years and 4 months ago by attorney Karen A. Leiser   |   1 Answer
It depends on what the charges were.  If he has been convicted of a felony or a crime of moral turpitude (that is a crime involving lying, cheating, or stealing) then that will put his honesty into question and you bring that up on cross-examination.  It does not mean he is lying, but it is something that the judge or jury can consider in weighing his credibility.  However, if his charges are still pending then you cannot use them against him, as he is innocent until proven guilty.  Of course, if you have been charged with a crime you definitely should have a lawyer and your lawyer should know all of this....

i was presented with a summons for harrasing phone calls what can happen to me in court?

Answered 11 years ago by attorney Karen A. Leiser   |   1 Answer
It's not clear whether you were charged with a crime or whether this a restraining order or what type of case this is.  In any event, you are certainly going to do much better if you hire a lawyer. This answer is given in accordance with the laws of Virginia and may not be applicable in any other state.  It should not be construed as legal advice, as that would require a more thorough analysis of all of the facts involved in a specific case.  If you need further information or assistance, please feel free to contact my office for a consultation. Case results depend upon a variety of factors unique to each case. Case results do not guarantee or predict a similar result in any future case.... Read More

I signed a contract with an unlicensed contractor for siding on my house. He started work the second week of May 2012 and is still not finished.

Answered 13 years and 8 months ago by Barry Joseph Dorans (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
First, you need to read the contract to see what is says about the deadline to complete the work, and what rights you have. If there is no written contract, he has a reasonable time, as determined by a judge, to do the work. If you have not heard from him in a month, you should send him a letter demanding he return to work by a certain day.  If he does not return to work by that time, you should send a letter telling him you are terminating the contract.  Once you have terminated the agreement, you would need to hire someone else to finish the work, and if the cost to finish is less than $700, the contractor is entitled to the difference, if it is more, he owes you the extra cost.  The fact that he is not licensed does not prevent him from being paid for his work, so long as his work was done competently....

What federal statute allows on health insurance to call another and ask if you have health care with them also. (Not coordinating care)

Answered 13 years and 11 months ago by Melanie T. Frazier (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
The first place to check this would be in your contract with Blue Cross.  They are generally entitled to know about, and investigate, other coverage under the terms of your health insurance coverage.  It would be a matter of contract law relating to your coverage.
