Past record of misdemeanors: Question for criminal attorney?

31 Aug

If potential employers run a routine background check on job seekers, how likely is it that minor convictions from another state will show up?

I have a guilty plea in Louisiana on on my record. I also have a “withhold of adjudication” (Florida) on my record, which is basically no-contest with a fine. I live in neither state.

Both offenses were misdemeanor trespassing — the equivalent of a minor ticket. But still, it would be better if employers would not see these if they are considering me for a job.

Thanks.

Does anyone know an Attorney, A Law office, or a Private Investigator that is looking for a intern?

23 Aug

I want to do an internship with either a lawyer (preferably criminal), or a law firm or even a PI. I want to see if I really want to get into this field. I have a Bachelor Degree in Criminal Justice that is just going to waste and I really need to put it into use. Plus I plan on going to Law School and I want some practical experience. Please help me.. I am in the Chicago Land area but I am willing to travel to a close suburb. If you do not know a specific person or place please help me with websites that might be able to give me a list. I have already tried Hotjobs and careerbuilder….

Isn’t it unusual for a law firm to ask the attorney to take time because the firm is slow?

21 Aug

This is the first firm I have worked for a firm where this is happening. Business is slow so they are having two attorneys take their vacations (without them requesting it). I found it kind of odd. Any thoughts on this?

Can a law firm deposit a clients settlement check into a client fund without a power of attorney?

11 Aug

I represented a client and reached a settlement. The client apporved of the settlement. It took about a month to recieve the check which was made out to the client. I requested a power of attorney to deposit the check and then send a check to the client minus my fee. However, in that month, the clients business changed ownership. And by the time I recieved the check, they no longer wanted the money. Do I still have a right to deposit and take my fees and continue to hold the client’s portion until they claim it?
I know we can keep the funds in escrow, but the actual deposit of the check. Its made out to the client, I don’t have a power of attorney, and they don’t want to give us one.

Where can I find a good criminal attorney that will take a case and get paid after it is won?

27 Jul

My belongings were stolen while I was out of the country, I filed charges when I returned, but the “sheriff” refused to do anything about it, said it was civil and I would have to hire an attorney. After contacting many, I cannot afford them, as I make minimum wage and do not have thousands of $$ for a retainer. Is there a site for pro-bono attorney’s and if so, what is the best way to contact them?

Attorney General kept my income tax for child support owed to me.?

22 Jul

Not divorced, but separated for 5 years. He owes child support. I have never received any nor pushed for it. He is unemployed. We are on good terms and this year I figured since we still married (but with others) we could file taxes together still (not the smartest idea in hindsight). He had no income, but claiming married raised it about $400. So basically all the money coming from taxes was from ME. Well, the Attorney General took MY taxes (over $5000). Okay so I thought I’d just get it later as child support. WRONG. They are keeping the money for debts owed (Medicaid, his retro payment, etc…) So here I am to this day I have never received child support and now I’m even broker and out my taxes. How do I fight this? It was not his income, mine! We are not back together, none of this was explained to us. I just wanted him to pay for kids not that we would owe the atty general also. Nothing explained at time and can’t get answers from them. Can’t really afford a lawyer especially now. We would have been better working it out together. They treating me like the bad one. What good does it do to ask for child support and how do we get out of it? How do I get my money? How can they do this?

What is your opinion. Is an attorney needed to make a Will or a Living Will?

12 Jul

I need to establish a Will & a Living Will. Has anyone done this through those websites? Should I forget about the web sites and go to an attorney? The law firms are probably very expensive. Anyone have any experience with this? Thank you in advance.
