The short is answer is it depends on whether you believe the figures provided by your husband are accurate. Your attorney will ask your husband through his attorney what they believe the business is worth. They will ask what the revenues are, the expenses, the profit, whether the business is growing or declining etc. If you can all agree what the business is worth then there is no need for forensic accounting. Now, if you don't trust the numbers provided by your husband and husband’s attorney...

You asked a great question, and I think you might not expect the answer I am going to give you. I have been a prosecutor in the past and have been a defense attorney for many years now. The answer is that it is very normal that the prosecutor has not reached to anyone. Not only is it normal, but it is actually typical. I don't know whether you are the alleged victim, the defendant, or a witness but my information can be taken in by all. In a typical domestic violence case with Assault &...

My first piece of advice is for you to do your best to be calm. Getting upset will not help you. The second piece of advice I have for you is for you to wait and speak to your lawyer. I am reluctant to comment to a person who is represented by counsel. The short answer (which you will need to get all the details from your attorney)... is that you can see a hearings officer once 30 days have passed since you list your license... assuming you did not lose your license for a failure to take the...

I would need more information from you to properly answer the question. With that said, my biggest piece of advice is that you should discuss this with the attorney you now have. If you already have an attorney you should raise it with him/her. I am assuming you trust your attorney and his/her advice, (if you don't get a new lawyer). The rest of the answer is practical. If you can't afford an attorney then you don't have any choice. If you can't pay for the attorney you can't have one. If you...

The short answer is yes you can. You are the one who is pregnant, it is your body. you are free to go anywhere you wish. Generally speaking, the father has no rights until the child is born. After the child is born, if the father files a paternity action, (a court case to prove he is the father), at that point a court could order you to remain in the state. They don't always order you to remain in the state wit 5the child but they can. If you want to move. To be 100% safe with your...

If your husband was the primary financial supporter of your household you may be able to have the court oder him to pay for your attorney's fees. A lot depends on your ability to pay, his ability to pay and how much the pot of assets you two own together is worth. The rational behind it is that if your marital estate has a decent worth and your husband will be ale to hire a qualified attorney and afford to pay that attorney you should be able to as well. One more piece of advice. If you are...

The limited information provided I do not think I can give you a full answer. Assuming someone was found guilty of criminal harassment, the Court can sentence the Defendant to up to 2 1/2 years to the house of correction for each count. The court has other alternatives as well. See the link I have provided to the statute. http://www.malegislature.gov/Laws/GeneralLaws/PartIV/TitleI/Chapter265/Section43A With all that said, a number of factors go into sentencing. The most important ones are...

I would not be all that concerned about the fact that he practices in 5 areas. You can be very good at multiple areas of law. There are boutique law firms that specialize only in family law and do nothing else. If you are more comfortable with that then you can of course hire one of them. I have no idea who your attorney is but he may be an excellent divorce attorney who also practices in other areas so he can offer those services to his clients. For example, I practice primarily criminal...

My understanding is that they should be informed that you have no record. The same way you were informed you have no record; the school department should be informed of the same thing. I cannot say that these things work correctly every time. That is why in 2010 the Governor pushed a bill through to overhaul how the cori system works. Here is an article on that. http://www.masslive.com/news/index.ssf/2010/08/massachusetts_gov_deval_patric_24.html Here is more information on sealing records,...

More information would be necessary from you to give you a complete answer. I will say that I am sorry that this happened to you. It is terrible to get arrested due to a clerical error from a doctor's office. I think you should talk to a lawyer so he or she can give you a fully accurate answer on whether you can sue. I will tell you the following, just because you may be able to sue does not mean you definitely should. Obviously someone or multiple people made mistakes here. Your doctor...
