legal Free Legal Advice

[dudsi]

So may pending case ka for reckless imprudence resulting to damage to property?

 

A lawyer needs to be able to read the Resolution before being able to give a responsible and intelligent course of action. Go consult one asap or send a copy of the resolution to one of the lawyers here.

 

It is not clear from your posts how things actually happened. It now becomes a matter of evidence na lang if you really want to fight this one out. I suggest though that if you have comprehensive insurance, just avoid the hassle and settle this case asap. Otherwise, you might find yourself litigating this matter for years to come.

yes, may pending case na ako sa mtc. parehas kasi kami nagsampa ng reklamo sa fiscal, unfortunately na dismiss yung reklamo ko at na elevate sa mtc yung reklamo nya. i have doubts na nalagyan yung fiscal.

ask ko lang po sa mga lawyers na pwede at gustong magbigay ng advice, i can email you the resolution and pictures para mas maintindihan po ninyo nangyaring insidente. i also made some points na sa tingin ko pwede i raise, i just dont know kung may bearing pag dating sa court.

salamat po.

Yes, I am a lawyer but it seems you have already consulted one. Do note, however, that while consultation here may be free, you will have to get a lawyer to represent you in your criminal case. Otherwise, you may end up with a PAO lawyer (if you qualify as an indigent).

 

 

sir,

do you know any lawyer in this thread? are you a lawyer? bago lang ako dito sa thread. madalas ako sa dare to bare eh. hehehehe. baka may ma recommend ka na lawyer dito sa thread i can seek advice. many thanks.

My worthless thoughts about free consultation here in MTC.

 

Yes, it is possible to get free and helpful legal advice here, but as professionals, lawyers have to make a living too. If the advice sought is off-the-cuff, which can be answered from stock knowledge or from the lawyer's professional experience, then you may be able to rely on the advice given. However, if you want someone who can spend some time examining your case or predicament, and it involves some time and effort on the lawyer's part, then it is fair to expect that you will be charged accordingly, or that your question will not be fully answered to your satisfaction.

 

There is also a caveat about free advice. Professionals may be not be as thorough when giving free opinions as when they are contracted for it. After all, they can't be expected to examine all the angles and conduct extensive research for work that is not paid for, so it is reasonable and prudent to take any advice given here with a grain of salt.

 

In other words, if you want quality service from a professional, don't expect to get it exactly for free.

 

Okay, so crucify me.

Tanong lang po sa legal experts...meron po ako 1 maliit na negosyo dati. ito po ay ginawa namin Corporation (5 individuals as incorporators). di namin alam na ang accountant namin ay tinatarando na pala kami. un mga binabayad namin sa kanya para sa city hall at bir ay binubulsa na pala niya. Sinabay pa ng malas ay humina ang kita ng company. dahil sa pagkalugi ay nagdesisyon nalang kaming magkasosyo ay isara nalang ang company noon 2007. Hindi na namin na close ang mga records namin sa city hall at bir. ngayon ay may pinadalang sulat daw sa dating office address namin at naghihingi ng records ang bir.

 

ang tanong po eh...ala na kami mga records and assets at ang iba namin partners ay nasa abroad na. may habol pa ba gobyerno sa amin 5 o sa mga naiwan dito?

I conceptualized this free legal advice for the benefit of those who would like to be given quick instant but quality advice from lawyer-members of MTC. I agree with Dr. PepPer. Some people need only the basics on how to cope with their legal problems and queries, to avoid paying consultation fees. If you believe you are not contented

you are always free to contact personnaly any lawyer-member here or any lawyer for that matter and bring all your docs and papers for a fee of course. Correct, while we provide free legal service in consonance with our sworn duty as lawyers, we also are entitled to earn to live a respectable decent life----being a lawyer.

 

Hope our subscribers will understand.

 

ilan taon na ba ang Legal Thread na ito ? hehehehehehe I salute to my companeros who dutifully served our MTC clients---for free

in behalf of my fellow mtc members na humingi at nabigyan ng free advices, thank you sa mga matutulungin nating lawyers dito sa mtc.

 

more power to MTC!!!

 

mga bossing,

 

ask ko lang po kung sakop ng Land Transportation Traffic Code ang loob ng private subdivisions. sa loob po kasi ng subdivision nangyari yung insidente ng banggan at ito rin po ang naging basis ng fiscal sa kanyang resoloution. salamat po.

Dudsi, have you filed a motion for reconsideration to the dismissal resolution of the fiscal? Or a petition for review with the DOJ maybe? These are options available to you in case you want to keep your case alive.

 

It seems that there are plenty of facts that you need to discuss with your lawyer in order to give you a good rundown of all your options. You will not gain anything by divulging bits and pieces of the case. Better go see your lawyer now while there is still time.

[dudsi]

@ harman

 

not yet. inasikaso ko kasi yung bail ko kasi nai file na yung demanda nya sa mtc. ano ba practical at magandang option to take eh mukhang nalagyan na yung fiscal to favor yung kalaban ko.

 

option 1: file for motion for reconsideration to the dismissal resolution of the fiscal;

 

option 2: face trial

 

ano pa ba options ko? pag nag face trial ba ako at sinabi ng judge na sya ang may mali, automatic ba na sya ang magbabayad sa akin kahit na yung case na on trial ay sya ang nagrereklamo? o do i have to file for a separate case at gagawin ko evidence yung decision ng judge na sinasabi sya talaga may kasalanan.

 

salamat po.

need a good labor lawyer...pm me. thanks

[dylandark]

ask ko lang po. pwede bang magi issue ang barangay chairman ng contempt of court pag di nakarating sa mediation/conciliation disputes? pag nagissue ba sila may ginawa na ba silang labag sa batas? salamat po.

[rocco69]

walang kapangyarihan ang barangay chairman na mag-issue ng contempt. ang pwedeng gawin ng kapitan ay mag-apply sa korte ng petition para ipadeklara in contempt ang di dumalo sa mediation.

 

ito ay nasa Section 515 ng Local Government Code, na nagsasabi:

 

Section 515. Refusal or Failure of Any Party or Witness to Appear before the Lupon or Pangkat. - Refusal or willful failure of any party or witness to appear before the lupon or pangkat in compliance with a summons issued pursuant to the provisions on the Katarungang Pambarangay under Chapter 7, Title III of this Code may be punished by the city or municipal court as for indirect contempt of court upon application filed therewith by the lupon chairman, the pangkat chairman, or by any of the contending parties. Such refusal or willful failure to appear shall be reflected in the records of the lupon secretary or in the minutes of the pangkat secretary and shall bar the complainant who fails to appear, from seeking judicial recourse for the same cause of action, and the respondent who refuses to appear, from filing any counterclaim arising out of, or necessarily connected with the complaint.

 

A pangkat member who serves as such shall be entitled to an honorarium, the amount of which is to be determined by the sanggunian concerned subject to the provisions in this Code cited above.

 

dahil dito, anumang "contempt of court" na galing lang sa kapitan at hindi galing sa korte kaugnay sa di pagdalo sa barangay conciliation ay walang bisa.

 

maari itong maging paglabag ng Art. 241 ng Revised Penal Code (usurpation of judicial functions)

 

ask ko lang po. pwede bang magi issue ang barangay chairman ng contempt of court pag di nakarating sa mediation/conciliation disputes? pag nagissue ba sila may ginawa na ba silang labag sa batas? salamat po.

Some as low as 500. Some as high as 5K.

 

If its my specialty, I do charge between 4-5K. Seems high but I think I have earned that because of "higher" education after my bar exam. If its not my specialty, usually 500-1000 or free dinner. For contract review, you might get charged up to 10K depending on the money involved.

 

You think that's steep, try to notarize a deed of sale for items worth more than 1 million. Sometimes more than 1% ang charge for a stamp and a signature.

 

Tip: If you engage the lawyer's services, consultation comes part of the package.

[skaven]

ok, thank you vm
