Tue, 24 Nov 2009 10:17:23 PST http://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/re-arraignment--texas-law-says-72-hrs-for-incarcer-167779.html Texas law states if you are incarcerated you get an arraignment in 72 hours. We have an attorney, not court appt. he has been paid big money up front. It did not concern him when my grandson went up for arraignment and the DA's office didn't have a file. Now it has take from 10/2 until 11/23, count the weeks yourself, and he just got his arraignment. We feel his Civil Right have been violated. If you are entitled to an arraignment within 72 hour just because the DA has an inadequate staff should not mean the person has to set in jail over 6 weeks to get due process, does it? Has he been undermined by his attorney because the attorney hasn't ever said anything? Tue, 24 Nov 2009 07:18:52 PST http://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/why-do-insurance-companies-do-this-during-a-person-167769.html I don't quite understand how insurance companies handle personal injury cases. I don't understand why they go through the process of an IME, deposition and other such expenses which cost them just to later settle the case. I can see about the deposition. But what is the true purpose of a IME, at this point in time everyone already knows what an IME doctor will say "their is nothing wrong with he or she". Why go through all the expenses to just settle a case? Tue, 24 Nov 2009 06:56:26 PST http://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/first-time-dui-minnesota-167699.html I was given a first time DUI over the weekend blowing a 1.3. I was pulled over because my headlight had gone out that day.We were driving back a few blocks to our hotel and were pulled over as I pulled into the hotel lot. I have no record of any kind and not even a speeding ticket in my life. What are the chances I can plead this down from DUI if any. I was fully cooperative and was driven back to the hotel by the cops that night.

Recently my store manager has begun carrying out a policies that are quite disturbing to me. First, she is insisting upon me answering the phone and greeting customers with the phrase "Happy Holidays," even though she knows I am an atheist and do not practice such holidays. Also, she is insisting upon me wearing an apron with gift cards shaped in Christmas Trees affixed to hit with Christmas lights around them. I have drafted a memo to inform my manager of my request for reasonable accommodation under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. I would greatly appreciate any advice you could give Mon, 23 Nov 2009 22:20:46 PST http://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/can-i-sue-the-police-department-for-harrassment--167672.html i was recently arrested thrusday for a no arrest warrant, my girlfrient was assulted that day while i was sick with the flu and the police was called and they arrested me. knocked on my door wit guns drawn at me taking me to jail with no shoes tank top and shorts on. instead of looking for the guy that assulted her. the police did this while my girlfriend was getting in the ambulance. if i had a no arrest warrant why did they take me to jail while i was sick with the flu and did not go look for the person that assulted her? and while i was in jail the nurse told the officer i had sytomps of h1n1 and i needed care. but they stuck me in a segeration cell and released me out in the cold with no shoes and no phone calls. am i able to get any justice? Mon, 23 Nov 2009 21:17:55 PST http://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/re---arraignment-167653.html I looked up Texas Law and it says if you are incerated at the time you should have an arraignment within 72 hours and that is when bond should be set. It states that if they don't do so you may have other optioins even to the point of dismissal. Right now my grandson is in the County Jail because his wife set him us (which we have proof of but the attorney doesn't want to show any of his evidence to the DA) Also, my grandson was told not to talk to the detective unless he was present and he never made a time that he would be available. Has my grandson CIVIL RIGHTS BEEN VIOLATED? My grandson says the reason they have such a high conviction rate there is the is someone they everyday pressuring them to take a plea bargan, is that legal? Mon, 23 Nov 2009 20:47:55 PST http://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/still-seeking-attorneys-who-file-vs-tx-att-gen-cri-167631.html Anyone out there in Austin who has filed vs Tx Att Gen Crime Victims: please note we have the transcript re: hearings when Cornyn was Att Gen Crime Victims while his staff was stealing the crime victim's funds. Ain't life great to be a real American of generations and be treated like you are the illegal on your own soil! ACLU aids illegals along with Tx Civil Rights Project:who is there for innocent victims of illegals? Oh, in state tuition, auto welfare or be Adon_Caranza_Madison HS an illegal provided w/scholarship to UT. That is the reward of heirs of the ALAMO for giving their lives? Mon, 23 Nov 2009 19:58:43 PST http://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/someone-calls-the-police-with-a-complaint-against--167572.html If someone calls the police and states a complaint against you shouldn't the police come talk to you about it? It was a fluke that we found this FALSE complaint so now what do we do to clear it up. Again, its a false complaint. Mon, 23 Nov 2009 17:45:16 PST
