Q. What kind of lawyer do I need to talk to about custody of children?

2 March 2021

A: I would recommend contacting an experienced attorney in family law. The father will likely want to consult with one to assist in navigating through the juvenile courts.

Q. Is it a crime to deposit/cash a check if it is to 2 named people, he signed the back twice and she didn’t sign

2 March 2021

A: I would recommend taking the copies of checks you have along with these facts to your local magistrate or police department to discuss the options of pressing charges.

Q. Can your mom send you a trespassing notice and have you arrested if you go near her property?

1 March 2021

A: I am sorry to hear you are going through this experience with your mom. If a person provides notice to another that they are not allowed on private property, and the notice is disregarded, then the propery owner/lessee can take out trespessing charges. Trespassing is a Class 1 Misdemeanor in Virginia and the legal ramifications can be up to 12 months in jail and/or a fine up to $2,500.00. Please consult an attorney experienced in criminal defense in Virginia.
