Question: The property manger said she put out a disposition warrant out on the 18 of November I never received it because it had the wrong address and was placed on the wrong door. I went to her office on the 19 of November to pay my lot rent and late charges but she refuse to take it, because of the warrant Now it`s the 26 of November and I still have not gotten it yet.What should I do.

Answer: The property manager has a dispossessory, which means the court have given her permission to reclaim the property. The lease was broken when the rent was late. Let me repeat: The lease was broken when the rent was late. Therefore, the property manager can refuse to take your money in exchange for the property. I suspect the entire truth involves you being late on the rent in the past, because property managers do not put out good tenants in a tight economy. Let`s be for real.

Question: My husband has been locked up since july 5 and has not been inditted he has a paid lawyer and his prole officer has put a hold on him everytime i ask the lawyer he say in this kind of case its good to wait but i dont know what we are waiting for

Answer: You are waiting for the attorney to figure out what he is going to do. July 5, 2011 is less than 4 months ago. It is not unusual to wait 12 months for an indictment. And I know that your husband has a bond, because if he did not the prosecutor would have to indict him within 90 days. So, if your husband has a bond and a parole hold, there is nothing for your attorney to do, except:(1) encourage you to make the bond in order to move forward on the parole hold; (2) take your husband to court for bond reduction; or (3) work out plea with prosecutor. There is no way to make the prosecutor indict your husband faster.

Question: I was arrested at my home in Murray Co Ga for giving false report to police. A detective from Whitfield Co came to my house without assist from Murray Co. Is that legal? I thought when they were out of jurisdiction they had to have assist from the county they were going to make the arrest.

Answer: I don't understand the factual scenario. You were arrested in Murray Co. for giving a false report to whom, and when? A Whitfield Co. detective arrested you for giving a false report to a Whitfield Co. law enforcement officer? Is that right? Your question is can a Whitfield Co. officer arrest you for giving a Whitfield Co. police officer/detective a false report if you live in a county other than Whitfield. Of course, they can. Everyone knows the answer to that. As long as law enforcement have a valid warrant, they are not prohibited from leaving the county to execute that warrant.

Question: If my wife and I are renting a room from my mother, and a search warrant is executed on her residence, can the officers legally search the room my wife and i rent or is that considered a seperate dwelling even though its in the same building?

Answer: The officer typically can search the room, unless it has a lock on the door, and it is clear that she does not have access to the room. If the warrant is for items that point to a crime that your mother is involved in, and there is a lock on your door and your mother tells the police she does not have access to your room, and the police have to break off the lock off of your door, then typically the judge will suppress the evidence against you, which means the officer will search, find the items, but the judge may not allow the items to be used against you. The items may still be used against your mother.
