Answer

As I said in my last answer, if they have not previously sought a change, nothing you can do or say will allow the judge to keep the case. Use your energy on other issues you are confronted with, as the "SOJ" must be granted - for whatever reason you may think they want to do it.

Is a junior college liable for damages if a coach had an inappropriate relationship with a player?

Question

Is a junior college liable for damages if a coach had an inappropriate relationship with a player?

Answer

Hello. If it can be argued that the coach was negligent in establishing, what may be called, an inappropriate relationship with a player, then the school may be liable for any emotional distress suffered by the player. In the absence of negligence, the school, in my opinion, will not be held liable for any criminal actions on the part of the coach.

You are on a long downhil slope what should you do to help control the speed on your vehicle?

You are on a long downhil slope what should you do to help control the speed on your vehicle?
If it is a manual then just pick a lower gear and let the engine help to slow you down using little if any brakes, if it is an automatic, then basically the same thing, you can put it in D if it has over drive, and if not the you can got to 3rd. but listen to the engine and make sure it isn't racing or it is a lost cause, just try not to overdo it with the brakes cause on a long steep slope it will get them hot quick.

Question

Restricted License

Pulled over with a restricted license.

What if I was ''scouting'' for a film I was making?

I have the contracts and a producer that is willing to sign a declaration (or whatever he needs to sign) stating that this is what I was doing.

Will that help?

Answer

Re: Restricted License

I'll defer to Mr. Mandell's expertise on license restrictions, but there is another point I need to make. Your question suggests that you weren't really scouting locations at the time, but that the producer you work with is willing to sign a declaration saying you were. This is a serious no-no.

To be valid, a declaration must be signed under penalty of perjury. If your colleague signs a false declaration for you, he will be committing a crime. If you encourage him to do so, you will be committing one as well.

The penalty for your traffic violation will surely be less than what you might face for subborning perjury, and it won't affect your colleague at all.

Answer

Re: Restricted License

Your license likely reads "to and from work", not wherever you want during the day.

Good luck, the declaration should help if it proves you were on the job.

Answer

Re: Restricted License

Since you are a location scout, you can drive wherever you want on a restricted license? You better come up with a better story than that. I can just see you telling this one to the judge.

Answer

Re: Restricted License

There are a couple of different kinds of "restricted licenses," but if yours in the common one, allowing you to drive to and from work and DURING THE COURSE OF YOUR EMPLOYMENT, then you weren't violating the terms of your restriction, and you can't be convicted of driving outside of the restriction. A letter from your producer (or the appropriate person) would very likely help. However, there may be other, better ways to handle this now that you've been arrested, but before criminal charges are actually filed against you by the prosecutor. You should consult with a criminal lawyer experienced in DMV matters as soon as possible. Most criminal lawyers give free consultations. I would be happy to meet with you and discuss your case. Feel free to contact me. Good luck. Steve Mandell

Answer

Re: Restricted License

I just read Michael Stone's answer, above mine. Frankly, I don't know what he's talking about. He seems to have misunderstood your question, or he just doesn't know what a restricted license allows. I would disregard his answer entirely. Steve Mandell

Question

received a 180 days, 3yrs probation term from LA county for possession of meth. I was released on 4/2/10. At the time of my arrest I resided in San Diego county. My probation officer filed a transfer from LA county to San Diego county in July of 2010. I was instructed to continue to report to him in LA county until my case was transferred. My last report month was April 2011 in LA. I received a letter from San Diego revenue & recovery for a $30.00 cost of transfer fee then a phone call from a probation officer on Dec 2011.

She stated that my probation term is retroactive from 02/04/2010. As well, I was told that my risk level is high and that I will have to pay COPS (cost of probation services).

So my question is: Is there a way to get my probation terminated or modified to a lower level of supervision?

I have no fines or restitution. The only payments I will be obligated to pay is the cost of supervision because San Diego county has placed me on high risk probation according to their assessment of my past criminal history not the case at hand.

Also, I have lived in San Diego county since 1994.

And how would I go about modifying or terminating? What are my options?

Answer

Any forced change to probation terms must be sought by Motion to the court, supported by proof of changed circumstances and good cause legal arguments sufficient to convince a judge to do as you ask. However, the likelihood of the judge reducing the supervision level and costs of probation is slim. The court defers to Probation to determine their assessments and rules. If you are serious about hiring counsel to try this, feel free to contact me to discuss the fees and costs of doing so.

Answer

The most imporant thing to remember is that reduction in remaining probation is discretionary with the judge. The first thing he does is look at your record, most imporantly since you were placed on probation. Complete your terms? Any further problems? What is need to reduce term of probation?

My last case like this was Sept. 2011, Lancaster. We asked the felony matter be reduced to misdemeanor, and the judge, without holding a hearing, reduced and then dismissed the case. So my client went from a convicted felon to a clear record in one hour. It all depends on how good a package you put before the court.

Question

I own a separate account. My bank is frozen/levied because my husband co-signed his friend. My husband is unemployed and his friend went bankrupt. My husband have judgement on him and now its me. Now the creditor levied my account and garnishment is awaiting to happen. I live in California and as far as community property laws is concern, will i have any kind of protection or any laws that can protect me from paying a third party's debt. Please help....

Answer

If the debt was incurred during the marriage, it is a community debt and community property can be used to satisfy the debt even if you aren't personally liable. Keeping the funds in your own separate account is not enough. You would need to prove the money in your account is separate property such as an inheritance or a gift from your parents to you only.
