Can my mother be served if she did not answer the door?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Terry Alan Nelson (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Nelson & Lawless
Legal? If they file a Proof of Service with the court claiming she was served, and she doesnt timely file an Answer or responsive pleadings, they will enter a judgment by default. The proper question is what can she do now? She could try to contest service by filing a Motion to Quash, if she has valid grounds for doing so and can prove what she alleges as improper service. All that would do if she were successful is make them re-serve her, an additional cost they will assess against her in the case. If plaintiffs claim is valid, either negotiate a settlement or defend the case. If this is small claims court and she contests the claim, file an Answer and go to the trial and defend the case. If this is Superior Court, seeking large damages, then file responsive pleadings, raising all possible defenses. File motions, demurrers, or whatever is appropriate, with whatever admissible and credible evidence and facts are available for legal arguments. Not exactly a do it yourself project in court for someone who does not know how to effectively represent himself against a professional attorney seeking judgment against you. If she doesn't know how to do these things effectively, then hire an attorney that does. If serious about hiring counsel to help in this, and if this is in SoCal courts, feel free to contact me.

Can my brother come home after doing classes on a murder case?

Answered by attorney Jared Christian Winter (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Office of Jared C. Winter
He may never get out. It's up to the parole board to determine whether he is a good candidate for release or not. They rarely let murderers out on parole, even if they have been model prisoners and have been doing classes.

Will my speeding ticket get sent to collections if I do not pay it by the due date?

Answered by attorney Scott Adrian Tibbedeaux (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Offices of Scott Tibbedeaux & Associates
Yes, it will. When you sign the ticket it shows you will go to court or promise to pay the fine. If you don't pay your driver's license can be suspended and you may not be able to renew your car's registration. Also, you can be charged with "failure to pay a fine" which is a misdemeanor charge and a warrant may be issued for arrest OR an additional fee (called a civil assessment) of up to $300. Refer to California Courts Self-Help Center under the Traffic section to obtain further information.
