Legal Answers
68 Questions Answered
- Q. Can I use photos / text messages as evidence ? Instead of a police report
- A: Yes, but you'll (1) need counsel, (2) need to know how to present it to the court. Text messages are considered evidence in the right context.
- Q. If Docket/Index numbers vary among a Warrant of Eviction, Notice of Petition, Petition... is that grounds for dismissal?
- A: I don't think it is. Although it shouldn't have been filed or served that way--it may, and I say MAY be a reason to delay. Generally, these errors happen and are easy to fix. You'd be better off not representing yourself in an eviction for a number of reasons.
- Q. How do I get an ongoing Criminal Court Order of Protection dropped by an ADA?
- A: There are a number of ways to attempt to get an order of protection dismissed or modified. Your question would require a bunch of facts be described before you could have a real answer from me. I often help in these matters.
