Criminal Attorneys

That is a question for your elected officials. If illegals or anyone else utilize someone else's social security number and they are caught they are prosecuted. Criminal defense attorneys represent people charged with crimes. If someone raped a 15 year old they they should be charged and convicted, but that is not what criminal defense attorneys do.

Criminal Court? Domestic Violence

If you have been charged with a crime, the State obviously believes that there is enough evidence to charge you. You absolutely need to hire an attorney. If the complainant (alleged victim) has given a statement, even if they don't testify in court you could still possibly be convicted at a trial. My best advice for you is to not underestimate the seriousness of this matter and see it as something trivial. There are very serious consequences for simply being charged with a matter like...

Welfare??

You should contact an attorney immediately. First, you can be arrested on that warrant at any time and it will likely happen sooner rather than later. If you you contact an attorney, they may help you to post bond in the present matter which could prevent you being arrested or limit the time you spend in jail after being arrested. If you have actually been convicted of a felony, you may have provided a false statement in your application for welfare benefits. If you intentionally or...

Using someone's address for school enrollment in Katy, TX

You may have seen some of the cases in the Philadelphia and Connecticut area where a mother was given jail time for using a different address to get into a particular school. If the child lives with you then its not an issue, but if the child does not live with you then you could be charged with providing false information on a public document.

Mother with sole legal custody is relocated... and Father files custody suit.

If this is in Texas it is unlikely that the mother has sole custody. The default is that both parents are consider managing conservators, but the child lives in one place and goes to school out of that home and spends weekends and certain holidays with the other parent. This could be different in your situation. The key is what does the custody order say? Does the mother need to get permission from the Court before relocating out of the County? Does the relocation cause any additional...

Census Workers

My understanding is that you are asking about the duty to disclose certain criminal charges/convictions on a job application. If that is the case, the wording is of utmost importance. There are several questions that need to be answered before anyone can give you a conclusive answer. One question is did the job application ask about criminal charges or criminal convictions? What restrictions or clarifications were put on the time period for reporting. There is not enough there to...

Can I offer a bonus system to incentivise managers to not steal cash from our retail business?

There is nothing illegal about what you suggested - assuming you pay at least the minimum wage. How you document the agreement (contract) is very important because you will have to articulate how you determine the accuracy of the cash count etc. Write out your idea and meet with an attorney to help document the agreement properly. I know that cash loss is no fun. Best of luck Olaide Banks www.banks-attorneys.com

I need to know if a trec contract for purchase of a condo is valid, enforceable, if the Execution date and no seller signature

Ah the dreaded TREC contract. Generally speaking, for a contract for the sale of real estate to be binding on a party that party must have executed a written document. There is so much in that statement. As already indicated though, it is unlikely that the seller can go through closing and execute the other documents including the deed and have a strong claim to not understanding the contract. As for "seller was illiterate, not sober,and has some mental issues" those are tough sells....
