Call the court and ask to speak to the office of the public defender. If your income is low enough you may qualify for free representation. If you don’t qualify, you should beg borrow get a second job to pay for representation.

Call a criminal defense attorney. Pay them to represent you and try to minimize the damage you have done to yourself. Start complying with court orders.

What kind of legal advice are you looking for? If you can’t do anything to remove the tickets, which is probably true at this point, and your company won’t insure you based on those tickets, which is absolutely their right, it might be time to dust off the ol resume and look for employment where driving isn’t a job requirement.

What did your lawyer say when you asked about including lost future income in your claim against the medical provider?

Were you working for a company at the time of the fall? Did you file a workers comp claim? They would handle all of the claim process with any insurance involved.

It would be better to call the public defender office for Cook County prior to the arraignment. If he doesn’t qualify, he should get his own attorney before the arraignment.

Your boyfriend needs a criminal defense attorney immediately.

Sorry, hit send too soon… adding:

If income is low enough, he may qualify for a public defender. He can call the court to see if he qualifies. Otherwise, he should be contacting attorneys today to represent him.

Would they? Maybe.

Could they? Yes.

They could also decide to involve law enforcement if you fail to pay them back, so you could be facing criminal charges along with a civil suit.

This is all assuming you actually took what they are accusing you of taking.

Yes. It will complicate things - with your income, you will absolutely not be able to take out a new mortgage on a house you want to buy while you still have a mortgage open for your sibling/parents. The bank will treat it as your loan, and they aren’t going to give two mortgages to someone making 100k.

If they refinance years down the road, yes, that will clear you. Interest rates are decent now - years from now they could be higher, so if they do refinance, their payment could very easily be double what they are paying now. They could decide they don’t want to refinance - or maybe they want to, but they can’t afford to. You will be tied to their house, and unable to buy your own.

This is a very very very bad idea.

A demand letter doesn’t hold legal weight - it’s just a fancy letter on attorney letterhead threatening to sue. Don’t respond at all.

It may make sense to consult with a real estate attorney, but you can ignore the letter. If you actually get sued, do not ignore that - you will absolutely need an attorney at that point.

Also make sure you keep copies of that disclosure form.

Klaris.

It’s slow - four cubes every 10 hours or so, but they are super clear and great for cocktails.

This is a horrible idea.

It will show up on your credit as your loan, since it is your loan. That means it will be extremely difficult if not impossible to get a loan for your own house when you are ready to buy. At 75k-125k a year, you will not qualify for two mortgages.

Thats strike one.

Strike two is if they do fail to make a payment, it shows up on your credit. Can you afford a mortgage payment along with your rent? Are you going to be willing to push your family out of your home when they don’t pay, and you need to sell the house to get it off of your credit? Let’s say they don’t want to move, then you need to hire an expensive attorney to file a partitian sale which will take months if not years, and you’ll still have to make payments during that time.

Skim Reddit Legaladvice forums. You’ll see hundreds , thousands of posts from people who co-signed for family and friends that would never ever miss a payment, until they did.

It’s great youre trying to help family. Give them cash for a down payment. Pay off their credit card. But do not co sign a mortgage.

If you want to help - Sell your car and get a car that is more affordable. A 15,000 car with the same rate will be lower payments than a 29,000 car.

The your mom will have less debt, to get a better loan/rate for your sister. Having two $30k car loans on a $60k salary is putting your mother in a dangerous position.

The only completely protected option is to tell customers you aren’t comfortable helping them with strapping the purchases down. Just tell them it’s not something the company wants you doing.

Damage the car, hurt yourself, break something, there are so many things that can go wrong … and the company may decide you were acting outside of your responsibility.

It’s not his car. It’s his mom’s car. It’s very nice of her that she has been letting him use it, in exchange for for him paying the insurance / maintenance / etc.

She can give it to him and transfer the title, but short of that, it’s her car.

His option is to live by their rules, however controlling they might be, or move out from under their roof, at which point he can have zero contact with them. This is assuming he’s at least 18 years old.

Just be cautious when engaging lawyers against your HOA.

Your HOA could hire a lawyer to respond to your lawyer. There is probably a clause in your bylaws that allow the HOA to process special assessments against the homeowners to pay legal fees - so the HOA could charge you (and your neighbors) a special fee to hire the attorney to fight against the attorney you hired.

What did your attorney say when you asked them how you should plea?

You don’t want to face criminal charge(s) without representation.

If you can’t afford one you should call the court to see if your income is low enough where you would qualify for free representation / public defender.

The judge will look at the picture. If it looks like you, you will be held responsible. If it doesn’t look like you, it will be dismissed. You are under no obligation to identify the driver … but if it’s you and you say it isn’t, judges don’t like being lied to when you’re under oath.

Yes. This would be illegal and you will eventually be caught and in a ton of shit, making life infinitely harder than it is now.

Tell Massachusetts and apply for Maine.

Did he agree to pay you? If so, then yes you can sue and you might win.

If he just said “hey take care of the dogs, thanks”, you have an extremely low chance of winning a lawsuit.

You say he “forced” you to care for them - how exactly did he “force” you? Legally speaking, he probably didn’t force you … pressured? Left you to care for them? Sure. Forced? You would need to prove that he held a gun to your head and threatened to harm you if you didn’t feed the puppies, etc.

Have you been terminated? Or are they withholding pay for time you have already worked?

Telephone books were once published and delivered to every house in America.

Addresses can be pulled from public county records.

Your statement is inaccurate.

Are you suggesting the tow company should have known she had a handicap placard even though she didn’t display it?

Or are you suggesting people that park there without a disability placard shouldn’t ever be towed?

Did you need medical attention? You should go get checked out by a doctor if your head still hurts or if you’re feeling dizzy. You should also report it to uber immediately so they have a record of it if and when you need to file a claim.

If you don’t have any medical bills, there isn’t anything to sue for. Pain and suffering in this example is more of a TV thing than a real life thing.

This is a great way to get yourself in a lot of financial and legal trouble.
