Attorney answers:
The skateboard jumping makes a very annoying noise. Is there a law to stop the kids from doing this on the public street?
There is nothing that you or the police can do. There is no law against being a noisey kid or a noisey skateboarder. If you call the police they will tell you the same thing. Do yourself a favor and buty construction earplugs. They work, they are cheap, and will quiet the world for you.

Attorney answers:
Will an assault 4th degree charge be dropped of the victim does not want to press charges
It matters not that the victim is not pressing charges; the State is. The real question is whether the victim will cooperate with the prosecution. That is, will the victim talk to the prosecutor and will the victim testify? If not, the case will probably be dismissed. If the case is dismissed, the defendant will not be convicted. No conviction, No jail.

Attorney answers:
My brother got sentenced to 48 hours for a DUI. He was booked at 10AM FRIDAY. But they wont release him til MONDAY??
It sounds like your brother entered a guilty plea at arraignment. The mandatory minimum sentence is 2 days jail and a fine in the amount of $1000, plus a 1 year Oregon Driver License Suspension. If you brother did plead guilty, and was fined by the Court, than he owed the money. In Coos County, the court may permit him to pay off his fine with some community service. He should go to the criminal clerks window and ask if there is such a scheme.

Attorney answers:
How do i take care of my DUI without going to jail? It is my first offense and i couldnt pay and now i can but i have a warrant.
Relax. You will be fine. The chances of you being arrested when you appear to clear the warrant for your arrest will be far less if you have a lawyer by your side when you see the judge. Having a lawyer tells the judge that you are serious and committed to seeing the matter through to completion and not running away again. Good Luck.

Attorney answers:
What is the statute of limitations in Oregon for a DUI misdemeanor? ( If it is not prosecuted to completion)
2 years. But the case is not dismissed. A case first has to "filed" in order for it to be "dismissed". You case was not filed. The arrest will never be deleted from your record. It is a historical fact.

Simple, call the State Office of the Attorney General. Tell them you need chilld support help. They will hook you up with the right person. Tell them the circumstances, give them the check, and they will fo their magic. They are very good at getting money. If you really want to speed up the process, get on public assistance or have your children on public assistance. You will then see how fast your government moves.

Attorney answers:
Should auto dealer give me the factory tires and wheels that i paid for,though they put aftermarket ones on at 34% above retail
Since you have a relationship to this dealer, just ask for the wheels. After all, they just forgot to give them back to you. That is the approach that I would take. But, you can always pursue the claim in small claims court. The relief sought, is restitution for conversion. If the dealer sold the wheels already, advise them that you realize that it was a mere mistake on their part and you do not want it to get between the relationship, so you will take the money that they sold the wheel for......

Attorney answers:
What do I do if my employee fails to pay me?
The easy answer is to demand to be paid weekly. If they cannot pay you weekly because they have no money, you will either have to quit, lower your wage, or work less hours. You are not required to be their bank by, in essence, lending them money. Then again, they do not owe you a job. Communication is really a good way to works things out. I suggest you try talking to them to find out what will work for them as well as you.
