Please call our office,Mississippi has new court decisions which deal with this specific point.Your answer depends on the charge,the court where you appeared ,the matter of expungement (court orders)and the places where your expungements were sent.In short you will probably have to answer YES to these questions if a state license is at stake,and you will probably be able to explain,and your wording must be precise.The issues you need answers to far exceed the space provided here,for instance...

Mississippi has no requirment to post no tresspassing notices on property to warn others not to tresspass.That being said,I have no information concerning court orders between your husband and his former wife,or for child visitation.Since the child's mother had visitation that weekend it is her decision on where the child will be.Further the crime of tresspass is just a charge at this point,and a charge is not a conviction! Your husband was justified in his concern about his childs disapperance,...

I agree with Mr. Mixon's answer and would add the following. When you are facing a criminal charge, always consult with a criminal defense attorney, which doesn't mean you have to hire that person, but nothing good in court happens without having an attorney present or previously consulting with an attorney. Our criminal justice system is an alien environment for most people who encounter law enforcement and the worst thing that can happen to anyone is to either be suprised by something...

The Uniform Code of Criminal Justice (UCMJ) should cover this matter if it pertains to recieving stolen goods.Did the theft originally happen on a military base? Was there a confession? Who found the stolen items(the victim,or the base police) It is clear that the local county officials have no jurisdiction of the possession of stolen items,but some local police agency may have jurisdiction if the items were stolen at an address off base.Further the base police do have the power to investigate,...

Officers in Mississippi can amend their tickets at any time PRIOR to filing in court and swearing to the facts as true.After filing with the court ,the officer must have the courts permission to amend the ticket to add the speed.Most speeding tickets are denended in court without an Attorney,with the exception being commercial drivers,whose livelyhood depends on having a valid license.All Mississippi city and justice courts will allow you to attent a driver improvement course which will keep...

If you are reprepsenting your self appear at your arrignment(first court date on ticket)enter a not guilty plea,have a trial date set,and ask in writing for a subpeona to be served on the school principal.HOWEVER,do not expect this witness to testify for you,afterall this is the person who set up the police to watch the school zones to begin with!!!

DUI's in Mississippi become lifetime conviction records and can not be removed from your record.Our court rules allow a new trial in a county or circuit court,if the case is appealed within thirty days,so time is not on your side.Please consult a Mississippi DUI Attorney today!

There is very little that a Mississippi DUI Attorney can do for you.Please contact your Tennessee DUI Attorney to discuss any remedy avilable to you under the laws of the state where you were convicted,otherwise contact www.ncdd.com -find an Attorney,to find a Dui Attorney near the jurisdiction of your DUI conviction. Unfortunately Mississippi does not allow expungements of DUI convictions,and it's a lifetime conviction record.This is a classic case of underestimating the affect of a DUI...

Section 63-3-515 Mississippi Code 1972 gives the authority to set speed limits in school zones to cities and counties.I do not know whether the officer knew the vehicle speed to be fifty (50) in a fifteen (15) school zone,but the issuance of tickets for speeding is within the discretion of the officer.Should you have a complaint about the officer not writing a ticket ,you could complain to the local police chief or sheriff

Probation Officers generally have reporting requirments as a part of the suspended sentence,and once the probation agreement is signed and entered into by your friend,the failure to comply with this probation agreement will cause a probation violation to occur. The court where the sentence/probation occured will be notified and the court will have your friends name and other identification placed on a national law enforcement web site for pickup and return to Florida for a revocation hearing....
