1. Amazon sent wrong item -- twice! -- and won't refund even though I returned both
  
  Did you return the item within 30 days? Did you buy it from Amazon or one of their partners (aka "third party seller")? Sometimes the same item can be eligible for Prime shipping and sold on Amazon.com, but it comes from a partner (third party) supplier and not from Amazon itself. If the item...

3. Ticket after the fact
  
  In those states where it is permitted, a citation can be issued based upon the conclusions in a collision investigation. Believe it or not, a good argument can be made as to who did what and when based upon the statements of the witnesses (in this case you appear to have an uninvolved third...

4. family courts
  
  Thi This is the Superior Court, or, more specifically, Family Court. And, yes, a judge in the Family Court can issue an arrest warrant. The answer to most any question that begins with, "Can a judge ...?" is most often a resounding "Yes!" Whether the ruling would stand up on appeal is a...

5. Sexual abuse/rape and a minor
  
  As Just Blue stated, allow the criminal investigation to play out. Keep in mind that if you do not possess firsthand knowledge of the incident(s), then it is possible that the facts are not necessarily as they have been presented to you.

  I doubt they thought about it that much. It was shiny. They're more often criminals of opportunity, not great forethought.

  Rates are high. The hourly rate can be $200+ an hour with a minimum retainer. Some may be cheaper, but, you get what you pay for. I am not sure what the answer for you might be. Going to court is a true crap shoot. If you're lucky, he'll admit to fault. If he denies, denies, denies, then...

  The problem with your damage is there is no definitive way to show that it was caused by him entering your lane based solely upon the damage to your vehicle. An expert might be able to make a reasoned argument as to fault with images of the other vehicle's damage, but, even that wouldn't likely...

  With no pictures, no objective witness statements and observations, it will be difficult to prevail even if you can show some inconsistency in the other party's statements. How much money are you out of pocket as a result of the collision? There ARE experts you can hire that can make an...

13. Judge dropped my case,but i still have a warrant
  
  Okay, so you had failed to appear on the offense in 2002? That explains the warrant and the arrest. You may have to check with the court to see if they somehow rolled that offense into the 2018 offenses or not.

14. Judge dropped my case,but i still have a warrant
  
  Same county doesn't mean the same court. Sometimes they can roll the matters together, sometimes they can't. And if npot held to account for the old warrant, it would be re-entered into the system. What offense was on the 2002 warrant?

15. Judge dropped my case,but i still have a warrant
  
  If the 2002 warrant was for an issue in another jurisdiction or outside the purview of the court you appeared in, then the warrant may have either been re-entered into the system, or, you were issued a promise to appear on that warrant along with any other paperwork. It would help to know...

  It sounds as if you addressed - or TRIED to address - the issues for the 2018 citation, but what about the 2002 warrant? All because you may have been arrested on the 2002 warrant does not mean that the issues of THAT warrant were addressed. Were you arrested on the warrant? If not, do you...

17. Can I get a restraint order against my roommate?
  
  The problem is that without reports to the police, it will be far more difficult to obtain any sort of meaningful order. There is an old adage, If it's not on paper, it didn't happen. And while a police report doesn't PROVE the issue, it at least provides a paper trail of a history of conflict...

18. Is this common practice by a DA?
  
  Lake County is small and rural, with a high poverty rate, but it has a relatively high cost of living and a high end population rubbing elbows with the poor. Some years ago it had a high number of narcotics registrants and parolees because it was rural and poorly policed - too few officers and...

19. Stop for crossing guard along same direction?
  
  Crossing guards and traffic cops do a lot of whistle blowing. It is as much to signal the pedestrians as it is to signal the cars. You do not appear to have done anything wrong, so don't stress about it.

  What county is this? Yes, such delays are common - and have been for much of my career, but more so in the past decade as resources have dwindled.
