I'm looking for an entertainment lawyer to pitch my concept.

Asked by a user in New York, NY - about 1 month ago.

This is a classic entertainment law "Catch 22." You want to pitch an idea. To protect yourself, you want them to sign a non-disclosure agreement. Problem is they wont do that - not unless you are already someone with significant clout in the industry. As a second problem, you should realize that entertainment lawyers, networks, producers and other media pros are all in this to make a living, and your business model (giving it away for free) does not provide much incentive.

Can i get ticket dismissed

Asked by a user in Staten Island, NY - 4 months ago.

While Staten Island is the most difficult of TVB Courts, the mistake on the car is something in your favor. Unfortunately TVB courts rarely care about identification of the car.

I am a foreigner holding a NY State driver's license. The license expires in 2021 but my work visa has expired.

Asked by a user in New York, NY - about 1 month ago.

Much depends upon what you are pulled over for. If, for example, you are pulled over for reckless driving or DWI, this could expose you to criminal charges and possible immigration issues if you are convicted. Being pulled over for a busted tail light or a cell phone ticket - not so much.

I received a ticket for a child restraint. How can I avoid points and lesser fines?

Asked by a user in Utica, NY - 5 months ago.

You can always plead not guilty and force the government to prove their case against you. Having said that, your lawyer should be able to work out a deal to reduce the charges.

First Marijuana possession in Suffolk County, NY. Do we need to consult an attorney?

Asked by a user in Hicksville, NY - 5 months ago.

1. Your lawyer might be able to change the date, but this charge will be heard in a criminal court so eventually you will have to show up. 2. While its just a violation, and the fines and punishments are minimal, the repercussions on your career in the future could be disastrous. 3. Police are police. It doesn't matter what kind of cop it is. 4. Hire an attorney and you will likely get off with an ACOD. It will all go away as long as you are good for 6 months or a year.

How to plead not guilty for a NYS mobile ticket and win??

Asked by a user in Buffalo, NY - 9 months ago.

The answer to your question depends more on which court you are in. In many courts you can plead this down to something without points like a parking ticket. In NYC and Western SUffolk, you must deny the charges and fight, as they do not allow plea bargaining. So which court are you in? That's what matters most.

A band memeber created a plot which involved causing my departure from the band, and the sudden entrance of a replacement.

Asked by a user in Orlando, FL - 12 months ago.

The answer depends upon wether or not there was any agreement among the band members in the first place, and wether or not you had any rights under such an agreement.
