Legal Answers
375 Questions Answered
- Q. I am being sued because my dog bit someone else's after getting out and need to know my options
- A: If you have homeowner's insurance, you should report the claim to your carrier and they should cover the claim. They would hire an attorney to defend you and pay any judgment that is rendered.
If not, your cousin may jointly and severally liable and you could sue him for indemnification and contribution.
- Q. Cjis code 3-2400 Statute Code: 27.342 x theft 300 plus value in 1997 - closed 2001. Can you explain
- A: You may be eligible to get your record expunged and you should speak with an attorney. In 1997, theft over $300.00 was a felony. The amount for the felony charge has since been increased. It sounds like you were charged in 1997 and your probation ended in 2001. Article 27, Section 342 in the old theft statute which has since been recodified.
- Q. In September 2021, I had a criminal charge placed on the stet docket. I’ve since completed all the requirements
- A: You can get is expunged (without filing a motion to change the entry to a nolle prossequi) by filing a Petition for Expungement. The form is online. You are entitled to expungement three years from the entry of the stet.
You have no authority to reopen a stet to enter a nolle prossequi. Only the State's Attorney can enter a nolle prossequi. The court cannot force them to do it. If the State agreed to do it after certain conditions were met, they will do it but you will still need to file for expungement.
Nonetheless, you are eligible for expungement now so file the Petition for Expungement.
