@@MatthewHarrisLawPLLC True, its like buying lottery scratchoffs. You can pay more money for a better chance to win, like a $20 scratchoff would give you a better chance to win than a $2 or $5 scratchoff, but it still don't guarantee that you will win. Like in a criminal case, I would think that paying a good private attorney may give you a better chance of winning vs using a public defender or representing yourself, but its still not guaranteed.

five reasons to lose ? 1. corrupt judge 2. corrupt DA 3. corrupt sheriff's office 4. complicit media which REFUSES to report your false arrest / false imprisonment 5. Being one of those persons who stands up for OUR rights
I can’t believe that the real truth is that when they say the charges that have been brought up upon a person really means like a charge as if you bought some clothing in a store, some items are less expensive than the other. The strawman theory is not a theory. The judge is a Money launderer. The public defender is working for the court in order to spend the wheel of money going round. The magistrate is the exec and I guess that the DA is the executor or something like that but, the magistrate is somebody that is more powerful, so just speak on the judge, the one that just sits back. It is a sham and a circus side show. Would you go to court and you notice that everything is written in capital letters regarding your first and last name you need to know that they are not looking at you as a human being not even looking at you as a person. your name on your license, on every credit card, and your birth certificate, is written in all capital letters, but we are taught in school that we have to write our names in uppercase for the first and last name. The letters of these names are lowercase, if you ever see, your name in all capital letters that is not representing you! This is the truth you are somebody that has a clone that is basically an estate that is a vessel that has never been found and it was either shipwrecked or a basically a ship that has never been found, and at the bottom of the ocean because it just has your name and capital letters. When the judge ends up entering a preview without you even being able to say guilty or not guilty, they really are entering a plea for your estate. Just look up, Maritime law and the strawman. You probably know it is not a farce. America, corporation and state of Guam, Puerto Rico, and Washington DC I consider franchise of the three I mentioned above, they consider the United States. So, I know I went on it but, this is the truth again again.
Five reasons you'll lose in court: 1) If you think your lawyer is on your side. 2) If you think the opposition is making a case. 3) If you think the judge has any sense of justice. 4) If you think the system gives a damn about the truth. 5) If you think anyone in the legal system abides by the law. It's a game with corrupt and crooked rules. Learn the game. The objective of the game is to survive. Forget about justice. It's a fairy story told to children.
No one wins because the judge gets a cut of proceeds. Goods judge will instruct parties to settle because in court they will not like the judgement they make.
A dashcam for your car is paramount. It’ll store the evidence big time to win your case if you were illegally arrested during a traffic stop if you asserted your rights. Cameras save lives.
This is fantastic advice! Cameras don't lie and it is EXTREMELY difficult to get body-cam video from police if they're not required by law to turn it over. When police mess up, they like to hide their body-cams in their "g-file." The g-file is their personnel file and is not subject to disclosure.

The comment sections on your videos are goofy. Takes armchair lawyer to another level. With a dash of contempt over bad court outcomes. I've been through the wringer with two felonies, a handful of pretty bad misdemeanors, two civil suits, and a bankruptcy in federal court. Never convicted on any of those trumped up charges. Won the civil judgements. Flipped the finger to the credit card companies in the bankruptcy. My lawyers have been great. Prosecutors were always very fair and easy to work with. Judges were always friendly and accomodating. I never even had to go to court for the last felony and was allowed to use video conference from my home. Every month for almost a year of continuances before it was dropped. I quit drinking three years ago and lost all family. Been single for three years. So I don't anticipate any future court cases, criminal or civil. I've found contentment with my Lord. A simple life of humility and isolation is the best way to avoid being sued or prosecuted.
I'm basically living the same life now. Still facing a False Accuse violation. I had it Vacated, but I think it was at the very time the judge was switched in the divorce case I had to file, it hasn't been found. Been to court 3 times now, all continued.
Failure to preserve evidence could qualify as "spoliation" and could lead to an instruction to the jury that the "lost" evidence would have been beneficial to the Defendant.

Hi I have failed to respond to 2 summons for jury service because I was truck driver I was on the Road more than 6 months so I did not get the emails until now so I want to ask you what to do ?
#1) Don't worry about it. If you had a valid reason for not getting the notice of jury duty, then I highly doubt the State would have any desire to prosecute it. I promise that they won't be knocking down your door in the middle of the night with a warrant for failure to appear for a jury summons. #2) I would take a proactive step and reach out to the Clerk who issued each of the summons just to let them know what the issue was. That way, just in case there is every a complaint for you not appearing, they know that you weren't just ignoring it.
example...in California a summons is mentioned in Cal. Civ. Code section 412.20 (a)Except as otherwise required by statute, a summons shall be directed to the defendant, signed by the clerk and issued under the seal of the court in which the action is pending, and it shall contain:
I was domestically abused and I packed up my children from a previous marriage and we left the state and fled to somewhere I didn't have any friends or family members so the abuser couldn't find us. However, he was stalking me through my Google account which I had no idea about and about two weeks after I arrived with my children at our new place he showed up and kicked in my front door. I immediately called the police to report it and he was incarcerated. When the jail released him, he was released to my address even though he never lived there and I was in a new relationship. He did not try to live there at the time though. He moved in with his mother and would sporadically show up. So, he would return Time After Time and each time he would return I would report it. Everytime a report was made I could tell the police were getting frustrated with my calls. Around February 17th, 2021 I had made a report cuz he kicked in my bathroom door and football pummeled me into the tub. The police showed up and put me in cuffs. Had me and my children all upset crying and the police told me that I was going to jail for misuse of 911 because I allowed him to come back into my home. They also told me that my children were going to be placed in foster care but apparently at the time that was just a sick joke between the police officers because they took the handcuffs off of me and told me that I was free to go but if I called them again to report the abuse then I would be in jail and my kids will be taken away. Exactly one month later almost to the day, the abuser decided to return and broke a window from outside my home, then two days later my children were taken away by DFCS. I tried to comply with the case plan I tried to explain that I was wrongfully accused of neglecting my children and no one would listen. Once I tried to complete the case plan they made sure not to give me certain information like, for example, the name date and location of the parenting classes that I needed to take. Now they have terminated my parental right right because the day of the dependency hearing that was immediately following the removal of my children, I was promised transportation and it even says so in my paperwork however I have never received one ride from DFCS. The person that I paid to take me to court that day apparently had a flat tire and lives an hour away from me. My family members that showed up to the hearing weren't even granted access to my children and they've never had a drug charge or any kind of trouble with the police ever. I've never had a drug charge or been in trouble with the police except for when I was 18 and that was for letting someone drive my car that has stolen property that I didn't know was stolen. Yet they treat me like I'm a criminal and terrible mom when all I want to do is love my kids and be there for them and they just keep them away as if I'm a terrible person and I have tried to contact the White House the governor of every state the Attorney General of every state Etc I hired an attorney I had a court appointed attorney and no one will help me get my kids back home to me safely. I even have proof that there are allegations against me are false however no one will provide that information to the judge or the judge that won't pay attention to it or something because I'm pretty sure I actually emailed that information to the judge myself. I can't find the judges name on any Docket in the county where this all occurred I can't find my case information anywhere and I am starting to lose my mind please someone help me get my kids home. I have not seen them since April 29th of 2021 I fear that something is wrong but they're not telling me about please help me
Wow, this is SO long! Sorry you are going through a rough stretch, but you should have asked him if you could contact him privately to share your experience instead on posting it for all to see. Not only is it better to be private about our private lives, but now you have a statement of facts that could be used against you (Not an attorney, but i have heard similar advice, that if i understand correctly, might apply here). Once again, sorry for all you are going through. i hope it works out positively!
@inconnu4961 I realize but I even did a live stream With since Davis about my story and I'm not Ashamed of it and I need to put the word out there. So people can actually realize what government entities are capable of so they can protect themselves and their children. If you didn't want to read it then you didn't have to read it. I'm not gonna shorten my story. For someone who's too lazy to read it because there are some people out there that actually need this kind of information.
They don’t care. They don’t admit they are wrong, only double down.. They just make shit worse. Remember, they have no duty to protect the public ie: you. Gonzales v Castle Rock, a woman called 911 repeatedly over the course of a few hours after her abusive ex husband (she had a restraining order against) took their 3 daughters. The cops blamed her and threatened her with arrest if she kept calling 911. A few hours later the husband showed up to the police station and engaged in a shootout where he was shot and killed. They found the bodies of the 3 children in the trunk of his car. SCOTUS ruled that the police had no duty to enforce the restraining order and that she had no grounds to sue.
I've won trials in traffic courts, county courts, and even district courts with these methods! When you remember that you're just dealing with normal everyday people, everything else just falls into place. 😁

If one wasn't able to afford an Attorney, would you recommend Self-Representation, with a thorough attempt to educate yourself on the laws relevant to your case, not "Tell your story because its America!", or accept council from a State Appointed Representative?
In the Miranda Rule (Warnings) you have the right to an appointed attorney. Take full advantage of this right. The best way that you can help your attorney is to be completely honest (attorney-client privilege) and tell him/ her everything that occurred so they can prepare an adequate defense. Worst case you are found guilty, you will have plenty of time to learn the law for your appeal.
So what happens when your law firm has possession of, but fails to file to the court, material evidence? This material evidence initiates restrictions on the court but your law firm fails to file it? Asking for a friend...
I paid an incompetent divorce lawyer $89,000 to run a custody and divorce case. She was not good. I could have, and since then, did do better myself, and won!
Wow! Unfortunately, this is not the first time I've heard stories like this. That's why I'm on a mission to teach people about what to look for when hiring an attorney and hopefully avoid this happening to someone else in the future.
You most definitely can win your court case alone. But you'll have to definitely have an understanding of what you're doing before going to court and have all of your facts and evidence organized and strong when presenting your case. Just like doctors, lawyers, mechanics, plumbers, electricians, politicians or any other profession with a degree, they're only human and are susceptible to mistakes. You're no different. But, if there's one thing you can do better than anyone else if you put in the work is take care of yourself how you want to be taken cared of. And even if something hasnt happened to you yet. Don't wait for it to happen to handle it. Figure out how to handle it on your own time before getting into any situation to better prepare yourself. If you're going to buy a house. Figure out how to handle every situation you can think of before getting one. If you're going to buy a car. Figure out how to handle every situation you can think of before getting one. If you're going to get engaged or into a relationship. Figure out how to handle every situation you can think of before getting into one. If you're going to live in a state. Figure out how to handle every situation you can think of before finding yourself in one. etc. It sounds tedious and it sounds ridiculous to some and the question most would ask is, "How could you possibly figure out every situation you can think of before getting into one." The anwser is you can't, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try to start somewhere. And as you learn and continue to retain knowledge overtime, more scenarios will come up that you'll think about that could apply to your life and how responsible and attentive of your own actions you are and when those come up you'll then be able to look up answers as to how to handle those situations and the federal and state laws that can help you to keep yourself in check and out of trouble, before someone brings trouble to you allowing you to protect yourself. We, from the age of children growing up into adulthood are always vaguely taught how to defend ourselves if anything and never on how to defend ourselves the right way and this can cause problems once we're on our own as well as causes us to depend on others always and it shouldn't be like that. I'm not saying having people in professions are bad, I'm saying we should have our own knowledge on how to handle things and should not have to immediately have to depend on others especially when we don't know their intent. Like I said they're human too and just like there are humans that mean well there are also ones who are very knowlegable that don't mean well and there are those that can make mistakes.
The State will add charges and your Lawyer will not help.You must defend yourself.Do not oay Lawyers they will not help.And you will lose thousands.You better tell your story.Nobody else will.And there us no guarantee your Lawyer will even show up.Most rimes they will not show up.And they will give it to someone who wasn't expecting it.And then mess up everything.Thats why you must be your own Lawyer!
I never prefer hands gestures as it seem unnatural to me. Here and there sometimes someone using it ok but all the time gets on my nerves. Talking about anybody doing it not just you. 5 points noted but I already forgot them 🤣.
@@MatthewHarrisLawPLLC Thank you. I must say that I get it how things we do in court play a role in the results we get. But, frankly that is more effective or practiced in high profile trials no? I have sat in a few small claims and traffic tickets cases as a viewer and it seemed like these points didn't matter there. Also, in criminal cases, I think defendants are doomed just by the virture of being charged with crimes and actually face tremendous bias and burden to establish their innocence even if the system harps on that one is not guilty unless proven guilty crap. To me, it is very scheming in nature but US society is into scheming I feel.
@@Peep1988 It might feel like that sometimes, but most jurors that I've spoken to really were in search of the truth and not just someone to burn at the stake. These tips are effective even in small claims and traffic court because these nonverbal communications convey involvement in the process and jurors REALLY respond well to respect for the process. I do a lot of family law trials, and those certainly aren't high-profile. Thank goodness. lol But even there, these tips are effective. 😁
@@MatthewHarrisLawPLLCIf I read 10 comments on a video and 8 of them seem ignorant or stupid, likely 10 of 12 jurors may be like the people online expressing their minds being not intelligent enough to grasp things accurately. Who wants such idiotic jurors. Jurors hear only what Judges allow into the case anyways and many times that is not the whole truth. A bunch of people untrained in law sitting to decide others' fates is a stupid American legal system concept. Many legal scholars know juries are often not smart and can be manipulated by scheming savvy lawyers anyways. I dislike it when I find mostly white jurors deciding on a case of a non white defendant because if defendant was black or Japanees, they would not be their peers. An unbias and fair Judge is a better option to hear a case but people go with jury trials because they feel there may be some jurors they could convince to rule in their favor.
I am here because I have contacted a legal aid for a lawyer due to me not knowing about how things work far as evidence I wanted to keep a secret but I decided I have to let the lawyer know that I didnt get receipts, I was dealing with a shade tree mechanic that took advantage of me because i chose to trust him with my car it was my first car i ran this down to the legal aid and i will have a lawyer contacting me in 7 days and she hopes he take my case i do have witnesses and some proof i have pictures but the most important part no receipts will the lawyer take my case?
With all due respect, how can any one calling himself a man, allow any human being to go to prison, if they can prevent that. Money. These guys are sharks. With all due respect..
A lot of public defenders are new to practicing law and may not be the next Perry Mason. Regardless, they do have a law degree (you don’t) and they did pass the bar (which you didn’t). Not everyone wins their case and let’s face it, many are indeed guilty.
Hello. If a case is mutually dismissed, can I still sue for false arrest ? I was falsely arrested and charged with Simple Assault, they asked for a Mutual Dismissal & expungement. Can I still sue this police department ?
That's an interesting question! What was the purpose of a "mutual" dismissal of a criminal case? If you had no claim pending in the criminal case, then there should have been nothing "mutual" to dismiss. You'd have to look at your "mutual dismissal" paperwork to see if you waived or disclaimed any right to file a civil suit. I'd venture to guess that the DA didn't requires a waiver of any civil suit in exchange for dismissing your criminal case because it is a severe violation of the ethics rules for an attorney to use criminal charges (or even the threat of criminal charges) to obtain an advantage in a civil suit.
Vague advice.. I have seen many court wins without following this advice. It all comes down to the judge, the jury and how you mesh with them.. I have seen the best evidence get ignored. Sadly this is America which is pay to play now... 😢 100% theater

Why do they call it when your loose I don't think all the right or wrong how come they don't actually look for the truth to help you out from both sides .
Louisiana does not allow you to bring video into the court house. they do not want you to undermine the prosecution with facts. As a result, it's impossible for the working class, to do anything but negotiate, because you will not be able to defend yourself for less then $10,000 with a lawyer.
We got an eviction notice once so we hired a lawyer. We searched the judge on the paperwork but they were replaced. He was rubber stamping them. Though we lost, our attorney had the records sealed. The new apartment used same law firm as old one. It took 2 months for them to approve ESA letter.
Obnoxious comment! nobody like a grammer Snazi! you couldnt find a nicerer way to offer your criticizm? (BTW, left you sum 'easter eggs' as a sho of good will)
I don't know why attorneys wear suits when they should wear tee shirts with the law firm logo printed on the back. They act las part of a sacred priesthood upholding the law when, in fact, they are contractors.
Never hire a lyer i mean a lawyer they are for the Court not their clients do your duedilagent and get knowledge about it at the law library just saying don't take my word for it dont take anyone's word for it do your research and understand the truth
No, no. The goal is to get one of the liars working for you and against the others because the law is too complicated for most people to grasp in a short time. To suggest every defense attorney is in cahoots with every prosecutor takes a level of faith I can't rightly comprehend.
So true. My attorney forgot all the skill during hearing. He remembered only one thing. How to collect. My hearing last 1.5 full days and he objected only once in the whole trial. That’s it.
let me guess.. dont talk to cops, dont talk to prosecutor, dont represent yourself, etc.. i do all that stuff and i just got my second dui reduced to improper lane usage.. youve never even heard of that ever happening.. youve probably never even gotten that for one of your clients as a lawyer.. i sent the prosecutor on my case a letter informing him that i intended to get my case dismissed..
It doesn’t make any sense even if you are 100% correct -my brother. Don’t let this guy scare you about representing yourself. Judges can figure out most things in their jurisdiction. Judges assign monetary value to judgements. They are the rbitratora and the county assessors. Also, remember the first reason why you are representing yourself it is about responsibility. Money has criminalized everything. Everyone got affairs and it’s always run to the attorney with money, right?
“The man who represents himself has a fool for a client.” Even I, with all of the legal knowledge and experience that I have, would not represent myself in Court.
@@tytraulich4987 If you're represented by an attorney you have a 50/50 chance of losing, but if you represent yourself, you're all but guaranteed to lose. Cases get thrown out of court every day, handled by big names in the business, over technical procedural issues. Not only do you have to have an incredible amount of knowledge, but you have to get all the procedure right, and to top it off, it is EXTREMELY inadvisable to act as your own defense simply because you have too much skin in the game to remain objective, unbiased, and level headed throughout the entire process.

What if police had evidence supporting a clients evidence and they claim to have “lost it”.
Failure to preserve evidence could qualify as "spoliation" and could lead to an instruction to the jury that the "lost" evidence would have been beneficial to the Defendant.
The District of Columbia Organic Act, the subsequent sale to 5 British families and the link to the Cestui Qué Vie Act of 1666.
That's very interesting. I've heard of this before

Hi I have failed to respond to 2 summons for jury service because I was truck driver I was on the Road more than 6 months so I did not get the emails until now so I want to ask you what to do ?
#1) Don't worry about it. If you had a valid reason for not getting the notice of jury duty, then I highly doubt the State would have any desire to prosecute it. I promise that they won't be knocking down your door in the middle of the night with a warrant for failure to appear for a jury summons.
#2) I would take a proactive step and reach out to the Clerk who issued each of the summons just to let them know what the issue was. That way, just in case there is every a complaint for you not appearing, they know that you weren't just ignoring it.
example...in California a summons is mentioned in Cal. Civ. Code section 412.20
(a)Except as otherwise required by statute, a summons shall be directed to the defendant, signed by the clerk and issued under the seal of the court in which the action is pending, and it shall contain:
I was domestically abused and I packed up my children from a previous marriage and we left the state and fled to somewhere I didn't have any friends or family members so the abuser couldn't find us. However, he was stalking me through my Google account which I had no idea about and about two weeks after I arrived with my children at our new place he showed up and kicked in my front door. I immediately called the police to report it and he was incarcerated. When the jail released him, he was released to my address even though he never lived there and I was in a new relationship. He did not try to live there at the time though. He moved in with his mother and would sporadically show up. So, he would return Time After Time and each time he would return I would report it. Everytime a report was made I could tell the police were getting frustrated with my calls. Around February 17th, 2021 I had made a report cuz he kicked in my bathroom door and football pummeled me into the tub. The police showed up and put me in cuffs. Had me and my children all upset crying and the police told me that I was going to jail for misuse of 911 because I allowed him to come back into my home. They also told me that my children were going to be placed in foster care but apparently at the time that was just a sick joke between the police officers because they took the handcuffs off of me and told me that I was free to go but if I called them again to report the abuse then I would be in jail and my kids will be taken away. Exactly one month later almost to the day, the abuser decided to return and broke a window from outside my home, then two days later my children were taken away by DFCS. I tried to comply with the case plan I tried to explain that I was wrongfully accused of neglecting my children and no one would listen. Once I tried to complete the case plan they made sure not to give me certain information like, for example, the name date and location of the parenting classes that I needed to take. Now they have terminated my parental right right because the day of the dependency hearing that was immediately following the removal of my children, I was promised transportation and it even says so in my paperwork however I have never received one ride from DFCS. The person that I paid to take me to court that day apparently had a flat tire and lives an hour away from me. My family members that showed up to the hearing weren't even granted access to my children and they've never had a drug charge or any kind of trouble with the police ever. I've never had a drug charge or been in trouble with the police except for when I was 18 and that was for letting someone drive my car that has stolen property that I didn't know was stolen. Yet they treat me like I'm a criminal and terrible mom when all I want to do is love my kids and be there for them and they just keep them away as if I'm a terrible person and I have tried to contact the White House the governor of every state the Attorney General of every state Etc I hired an attorney I had a court appointed attorney and no one will help me get my kids back home to me safely. I even have proof that there are allegations against me are false however no one will provide that information to the judge or the judge that won't pay attention to it or something because I'm pretty sure I actually emailed that information to the judge myself. I can't find the judges name on any Docket in the county where this all occurred I can't find my case information anywhere and I am starting to lose my mind please someone help me get my kids home. I have not seen them since April 29th of 2021 I fear that something is wrong but they're not telling me about please help me
Wow, this is SO long! Sorry you are going through a rough stretch, but you should have asked him if you could contact him privately to share your experience instead on posting it for all to see. Not only is it better to be private about our private lives, but now you have a statement of facts that could be used against you (Not an attorney, but i have heard similar advice, that if i understand correctly, might apply here). Once again, sorry for all you are going through. i hope it works out positively!
You realize everything you just posted was screenshotted and will be used against you right?
@inconnu4961 I realize but I even did a live stream With since Davis about my story and I'm not Ashamed of it and I need to put the word out there. So people can actually realize what government entities are capable of so they can protect themselves and their children.
If you didn't want to read it then you didn't have to read it.
I'm not gonna shorten my story.
For someone who's too lazy to read it because there are some people out there that actually need this kind of information.
@CollinMac96 I wouldn't doubt it. Nor do I care. We will prevail.
They don’t care. They don’t admit they are wrong, only double down..
They just make shit worse. Remember, they have no duty to protect the public ie: you. Gonzales v Castle Rock, a woman called 911 repeatedly over the course of a few hours after her abusive ex husband (she had a restraining order against) took their 3 daughters. The cops blamed her and threatened her with arrest if she kept calling 911. A few hours later the husband showed up to the police station and engaged in a shootout where he was shot and killed. They found the bodies of the 3 children in the trunk of his car.
SCOTUS ruled that the police had no duty to enforce the restraining order and that she had no grounds to sue.
More than my attorney has told me.
Your methods work in SOME traffic court too! I told you my story. You just have to apply your methods!
I've won trials in traffic courts, county courts, and even district courts with these methods! When you remember that you're just dealing with normal everyday people, everything else just falls into place. 😁

If one wasn't able to afford an Attorney, would you recommend Self-Representation, with a thorough attempt to educate yourself on the laws relevant to your case, not "Tell your story because its America!", or accept council from a State Appointed Representative?
In the Miranda Rule (Warnings) you have the right to an appointed attorney. Take full advantage of this right. The best way that you can help your attorney is to be completely honest (attorney-client privilege) and tell him/ her everything that occurred so they can prepare an adequate defense. Worst case you are found guilty, you will have plenty of time to learn the law for your appeal.
Nice Tie..
Thanks!
Is this for civil cases too?
Absolutely! These lessons apply even more so in civil cases since the burden of proof is lower and you don't enjoy the presumption of innocence.
those invoices from the government and attorney's are unlawful. and I don't have to know anything...

@@tomcarney-w5g no you'd be suing their insurance. You need insurance law. And Malpractice terminology.
So what happens when your law firm has possession of, but fails to file to the court, material evidence? This material evidence initiates restrictions on the court but your law firm fails to file it?
Asking for a friend...
Well typically evidence isn't filed with the Court. Evidence is presented at hearings and subjected to cross-examination.
I paid an incompetent divorce lawyer $89,000 to run a custody and divorce case. She was not good. I could have, and since then, did do better myself, and won!
Wow! Unfortunately, this is not the first time I've heard stories like this. That's why I'm on a mission to teach people about what to look for when hiring an attorney and hopefully avoid this happening to someone else in the future.
You need to get your evidence in the record. You don't need an attorney for that.
where ARE your tips for preserving digital evidence?
Here you go! ruclips.net/video/u1IOIXfOQWs/видео.html
@@MatthewHarrisLawPLLC thanks i definitely need that
You most definitely can win your court case alone. But you'll have to definitely have an understanding of what you're doing before going to court and have all of your facts and evidence organized and strong when presenting your case.
Just like doctors, lawyers, mechanics, plumbers, electricians, politicians or any other profession with a degree, they're only human and are susceptible to mistakes. You're no different. But, if there's one thing you can do better than anyone else if you put in the work is take care of yourself how you want to be taken cared of.
And even if something hasnt happened to you yet. Don't wait for it to happen to handle it. Figure out how to handle it on your own time before getting into any situation to better prepare yourself.
If you're going to buy a house. Figure out how to handle every situation you can think of before getting one.
If you're going to buy a car. Figure out how to handle every situation you can think of before getting one.
If you're going to get engaged or into a relationship. Figure out how to handle every situation you can think of before getting into one.
If you're going to live in a state. Figure out how to handle every situation you can think of before finding yourself in one.
etc.
It sounds tedious and it sounds ridiculous to some and the question most would ask is, "How could you possibly figure out every situation you can think of before getting into one." The anwser is you can't, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try to start somewhere.
And as you learn and continue to retain knowledge overtime, more scenarios will come up that you'll think about that could apply to your life and how responsible and attentive of your own actions you are and when those come up you'll then be able to look up answers as to how to handle those situations and the federal and state laws that can help you to keep yourself in check and out of trouble, before someone brings trouble to you allowing you to protect yourself.
We, from the age of children growing up into adulthood are always vaguely taught how to defend ourselves if anything and never on how to defend ourselves the right way and this can cause problems once we're on our own as well as causes us to depend on others always and it shouldn't be like that.
I'm not saying having people in professions are bad, I'm saying we should have our own knowledge on how to handle things and should not have to immediately have to depend on others especially when we don't know their intent. Like I said they're human too and just like there are humans that mean well there are also ones who are very knowlegable that don't mean well and there are those that can make mistakes.
The State will add charges and your Lawyer will not help.You must defend yourself.Do not oay Lawyers they will not help.And you will lose thousands.You better tell your story.Nobody else will.And there us no guarantee your Lawyer will even show up.Most rimes they will not show up.And they will give it to someone who wasn't expecting it.And then mess up everything.Thats why you must be your own Lawyer!
I never prefer hands gestures as it seem unnatural to me. Here and there sometimes someone using it ok but all the time gets on my nerves. Talking about anybody doing it not just you.
5 points noted but I already forgot them 🤣.
😅 Don't worry, even if you forget the 5 points, now you know where to find them and you can come back and watch them any time you need. 😁
@@MatthewHarrisLawPLLC Thank you. I must say that I get it how things we do in court play a role in the results we get. But, frankly that is more effective or practiced in high profile trials no? I have sat in a few small claims and traffic tickets cases as a viewer and it seemed like these points didn't matter there. Also, in criminal cases, I think defendants are doomed just by the virture of being charged with crimes and actually face tremendous bias and burden to establish their innocence even if the system harps on that one is not guilty unless proven guilty crap. To me, it is very scheming in nature but US society is into scheming I feel.
@@Peep1988 It might feel like that sometimes, but most jurors that I've spoken to really were in search of the truth and not just someone to burn at the stake.
These tips are effective even in small claims and traffic court because these nonverbal communications convey involvement in the process and jurors REALLY respond well to respect for the process.
I do a lot of family law trials, and those certainly aren't high-profile. Thank goodness. lol But even there, these tips are effective. 😁
@@MatthewHarrisLawPLLCIf I read 10 comments on a video and 8 of them seem ignorant or stupid, likely 10 of 12 jurors may be like the people online expressing their minds being not intelligent enough to grasp things accurately. Who wants such idiotic jurors. Jurors hear only what Judges allow into the case anyways and many times that is not the whole truth. A bunch of people untrained in law sitting to decide others' fates is a stupid American legal system concept. Many legal scholars know juries are often not smart and can be manipulated by scheming savvy lawyers anyways.
I dislike it when I find mostly white jurors deciding on a case of a non white defendant because if defendant was black or Japanees, they would not be their peers. An unbias and fair Judge is a better option to hear a case but people go with jury trials because they feel there may be some jurors they could convince to rule in their favor.
I am here because I have contacted a legal aid for a lawyer due to me not knowing about how things work far as evidence I wanted to keep a secret but I decided I have to let the lawyer know that I didnt get receipts, I was dealing with a shade tree mechanic that took advantage of me because i chose to trust him with my car it was my first car i ran this down to the legal aid and i will have a lawyer contacting me in 7 days and she hopes he take my case i do have witnesses and some proof i have pictures but the most important part no receipts will the lawyer take my case?
Can a NOT GUILTY verdict handed by a jury and read by the Clerk be overturned?
Great question! No, if a Jury hands down a NOT GUILTY verdict, the State/Government cannot appeal that decision.
fun fact: unless the court or the state is paying you, there is simply nothing you can do. The government cannot compel you even under oath!
With all due respect, how can any one calling himself a man, allow any human being to go to prison, if they can prevent that. Money. These guys are sharks. With all due respect..
A lot of public defenders are new to practicing law and may not be the next Perry Mason. Regardless, they do have a law degree (you don’t) and they did pass the bar (which you didn’t). Not everyone wins their case and let’s face it, many are indeed guilty.
Thank you

Hello. If a case is mutually dismissed, can I still sue for false arrest ? I was falsely arrested and charged with Simple Assault, they asked for a Mutual Dismissal & expungement. Can I still sue this police department ?
That's an interesting question! What was the purpose of a "mutual" dismissal of a criminal case? If you had no claim pending in the criminal case, then there should have been nothing "mutual" to dismiss.
You'd have to look at your "mutual dismissal" paperwork to see if you waived or disclaimed any right to file a civil suit. I'd venture to guess that the DA didn't requires a waiver of any civil suit in exchange for dismissing your criminal case because it is a severe violation of the ethics rules for an attorney to use criminal charges (or even the threat of criminal charges) to obtain an advantage in a civil suit.
Vague advice.. I have seen many court wins without following this advice. It all comes down to the judge, the jury and how you mesh with them.. I have seen the best evidence get ignored. Sadly this is America which is pay to play now... 😢 100% theater

Louisiana does not allow you to bring video into the court house. they do not want you to undermine the prosecution with facts. As a result, it's impossible for the working class, to do anything but negotiate, because you will not be able to defend yourself for less then $10,000 with a lawyer.

They act las part of a sacred priesthood upholding the law when, in fact, they are contractors.
No no no. We wear Polos with the logo on them, not T-shirts.
Never hire a lyer i mean a lawyer they are for the Court not their clients do your duedilagent and get knowledge about it at the law library just saying don't take my word for it dont take anyone's word for it do your research and understand the truth
No, no. The goal is to get one of the liars working for you and against the others because the law is too complicated for most people to grasp in a short time.
To suggest every defense attorney is in cahoots with every prosecutor takes a level of faith I can't rightly comprehend.
So true. My attorney forgot all the skill during hearing. He remembered only one thing. How to collect. My hearing last 1.5 full days and he objected only once in the whole trial. That’s it.
I also recommend learning English grammar, punctuation, and how to speak. It helps.
let me guess.. dont talk to cops, dont talk to prosecutor, dont represent yourself, etc.. i do all that stuff and i just got my second dui reduced to improper lane usage.. youve never even heard of that ever happening.. youve probably never even gotten that for one of your clients as a lawyer.. i sent the prosecutor on my case a letter informing him that i intended to get my case dismissed..

Don’t let this guy scare you about representing yourself. Judges can figure out most things in their jurisdiction. Judges assign monetary value to judgements. They are the rbitratora and the county assessors.
Also, remember the first reason why you are representing yourself it is about responsibility. Money has criminalized everything. Everyone got affairs and it’s always run to the attorney with money, right?

Not only do you have to have an incredible amount of knowledge, but you have to get all the procedure right, and to top it off, it is EXTREMELY inadvisable to act as your own defense simply because you have too much skin in the game to remain objective, unbiased, and level headed throughout the entire process.
