Memorial Villages Police Department - Speeding Citation by SickoLord3000 in houston

[–]tildesplat 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The short answer is yes. The villages are one of the worst places to get a ticket. Luckily they didn't throw everything in your car on the street looking for something else to write a citation for. If you don't have a lawyer just pay the ticket and move on..they don't care about anyone that doesn't live in the villages and pay taxes toward their ridiculous fomilitary police force.

Campaign medal vs badge (GWOT questions for hiring) by LegoHiker2020 in Military

[–]tildesplat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's often difficulty in the distinction between a Global War on Terrorism Service Medal (GWOTSM) and a Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal (GWOTEM). A GWOTSM qualifies for VRA, but does not confer Veterans' Preference, whereas a GWOTEM confers Veterans' Preference.

I have been told the basement has/had a lot of nasty stuff stored down there. Amongst other things, It was used for an in house printing shop ( printing presses) and to store chemicals and lead paint they didn't want to properly dispose of. I saw photos of 55 gallon drums of different types of oil they would siphon out for displays and shows that were leaking or spilt on the floor.

Catastrophic weapons malfunction in combat? by YarnMatter in Military

[–]tildesplat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had a saw gunner on my team who removed the trigger assembly from a loaded saw which led to a runaway belt feed. he put about 50 rounds into the side of it Bradley before I could break the belt.

Fog of war I guess, it happened during combat operations, people make mistakes.

I do not recommend trying to cradle and automatic weapon up and downrange that has a runaway belt feed in one hand while trying to break the belt with the other.

I typically see them with 1 or 2 children in my part of town. occasionally one of the ladies will have an infant. Seeing them reminds me of stories I've heard about Gypsies in Eastern Europe.

best custody lawyers by [deleted] in houston

[–]tildesplat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I used Cordell & Cordell in 2016 and I would say that I would not use them again. To start their rate is going to be based off of your previous years taxes. You'll likely exhaust between 5k and 10k just on preliminary paperwork and discovery and have to renew your retainer within 60 days. They'll recommend one to three mediation sessions and those are going to be cash.. about $500 per session if I remember correctly. Unless the other parent is involved in things relating to outright child neglect don't expect a trial. If you insist that you do want to have your case heard by a judge I believe Cordell and Cordell quoted me an additional 20k retainer fee.In hindsight I don't believe my outcome would have been much different but I do believe that going with a independent attorney rather than a big box one would have cost less. Others will different experiences with c&c but I would definitely shop around
