I am heavily considering going into law school to be a criminal defense attorney. But what is the title? Is it attorney insert last name? I'm sure that's the answer and I don't know why this is such a big question. For example, there's Dr. Blank. I guess because some professions have shortened versions that say exactly what they are, I was just curious if attorney's/ lawyers had that as well. Sorry for the dumb question.

Surely both of them aren't going to jail, are they?

I just saw a video of a sign in Colorado that said “drink and drive” for 5 seconds then changed to “will end your life” we all should know the law is against drinking and driving but my question is if someone saw this sign and started drinking and driving and legitimately thought it was telling him to do it could a lawyer get him off with zero consequences?

In this case the tv judge went with what the plaintiff asked for (with percentage at fault).

I’m assuming the answer is “it depends “ likely based on the state they’re in?

Might be a good Tom/attorney reacts.

I haven't been on this subreddit in a while and I've noticed a disturbing lack of content on the legality of baby kicking. I'm thinking about using this subreddit for emotional distress. Do I have a case?

I watched the Regent University School of Law video awhile back, the one of the professor giving a lecture to students with the premise of never speak to police without legal counsel, no matter the circumstances. His points made sense and that logic has stuck with me as a general princible.

However, I watched a YT video recently of a man who reported his wife was missing. She never came home after they split ways at a bar from an argument and it was getting late in the next day with still no contact. He originally assumed she was staying at her moms. He was obviously worried and called in to law enforcement for help. The police questioned him. As a worried husband he answered all their questions, truthfully and wanting to provide them with all the information they needed to help find his wife. Police eventually found her body and they arrested him for murder and used his words against him. Later after the arrest, the true killer was found and his charges were dropped.

Yes, he put his self in a really bad spot by answering polices questions that made him look to be the prime suspect but,

1. He just wants his wife back, is he suppose to report her missing and then wait till Monday morning when a law firm is open, knowing the first 24-48 hours are the most vital to a missing person case and wanting to do everything he can to help.

2. Reporting your wife missing and immediately refusing to cooperate until you have an attorney is going to FOR SURE throw up a thousand red flags. Police prob aren't going to do any investigating into other people further like they should as they're now tunnel vision on you.

So my questions stands from the title.

So I was court ordered to a 6 month rehab program and for some reason my program manager won't give me a certificate of completion even though I've completed the program. I'm court ordered to complete a inpatient rehab and that's what I did, but the manager of the rehab I'm in is trying to get me to do 6 more months of sober living and after care before she gives me a certificate of completion even though I've completed the rehab. I'm not staying and I already have a court date but if I don't have a certificate to bring back to the court what will happen. I was on misdemeanor probation and violated and decided to flatten my probation out with rehab instead of jail time. Would they put me back in jail or lat me restart my probation or just close my case and I'll be done

I bought a house in April, and have encountered some significant issues that I believe warrant legal action against the sellers team.

We hired an inspection company, suggested by the seller's agent since he had done the 4-point for them prior to listing. Unfortunately for us, he 'missed' significant issues that imply some negligence or intentional misleading. After moving in, we discovered a broken main drain, pipe leak, and improperly hung plumbing that cost about $7k to repair. I immediately contacted the inspector, considering there were photos taken in the area where the pipe was leaking from in the inspection report, but there were no disclosed issues regarding the plumbing. He offered a 1.5x reimbursement (approx $1.1k) that I accepted, under the assumption that would be the end and I could move on with my new home. I did sign a form stating that I accept the compensation as full and final settlement of the plumbing claim. It also stated, "By accepting this compensation, [myself] releases [inspection company] from any further claims, liabilities, or actions related to the inspection conducted on 04/04/2024." (I think this puts a strain on the situation to follow.)

This week, we've found out that the entire HVAC system needs a replacement, estimated at 15k for a new unit handler, outdoor compressor, and air ducts. The house was advertised to have a newer unit less than 10 years old, which it does have a new handler inside; however, there is mold and fiberglass particles. Moreover, the unit was not installed up to code and should have been flagged in the inspection (not sure if appraisers check for this).

These unexpected repairs have put a serious strain on our finances, and I’m concerned that the sellers did not disclose these problems during the sale. With approx 22k in damages and only being in the house for 6 months, and now mold and fiberglass (which *may* make the house be considered unlivable), do I have any grounds for legal actions against the sellers team and/or appraisal company and/or inspectors. I am seeking counsel on Monday, but it's Saturday and I'm extremely frustrated and overwhelmed.

Thanks for your help! 🙏

Obviously hypothetical because it's probably not going to happen.

My friends tagged me in this asking for my thoughts on how this would play out in court, and I'm so deep in the "it depends" rabbit hole that I would love to hear others' thoughts.

Hoa is forcing the full payment of assessments at sale closing. Total of almost 40k included about 9k in interest. The hoa will pocket the interest, because the money is not owed to the bank and it’s being paid early. Is this legal?? Help

I have a question ? I am taking my case to a jury trial and my attorney has not contacted me and he waits till the last minute till we go to court for a plea I've never met the man or even talk to him and I wanted to fight for my case and he was just so rude to me and was cussing at me on the phone the first time I ever talked to him he made me cry and I just don't believe that he would fight for me all the way because he just wanted me to take this plea and just do some time and I don't think it's right I have my rights and I don't think that he has my best interest, and so I wrote a letter and I was wondering if this sounds efficient enough to send to my attorney, prosecutor, Judge.

Dear my attorney I believe that there has been a breakdown in the attorney client relationship. and that he does not appear to be pursuing the discovery demands I have been asking of him. I do not feel confident in his ability to completely prepare for my zealously advocate for me at trial. I'm asking him to file a motion to withdraw as my court appointed Council and for a new appointed of new Council at this time.

Title says it all. Whacker polysilicon. Won't post link since reddit and some mods and mod bots hate them.

In 1996 my ex filed for Child support and I used this case to request sharing of pension(we both work for the same company in California) it was granted but I didn't know we had to filed a QDRO. The pension company will not release any information of my pension until I send a QDRO, is it possible to file a QDRO requesting that each party keeps its own pension (we were married only four years and I don't think it would that much to share)
