How Much Car Insurance Do You Need? If you're like many people feeling the pinch, your tendency is to get the bare minimum of insurance coverage required by the law in your state. That's a good place to start, though those minimums may not fully protect you -- or your assets -- if you file a claim. We recommend getting more than the minimum coverage unless you are driving a beater and have no assets to protect. Every state in the nation, except for New Hampshire and Wisconsin, requires that you have liability insurance, and that mandatory coverage varies according to state.
Bodily injury liability for one person in an accident Bodily injury liability for all people injured in an accident Property damage liability for one accident
So, for Alabama, the minimum requirements are $ 25,000 of bodily injury liability for one person, $ 50,000 bodily injury liability for all people and $ 25,000 property damage liability. Personal Injury Protection (PIP), or Medical Payments (MedPay) in some states, pays for your own medical expenses, any lost wages and whatever other costs may arise when you're injured in an accident. It usually pays about 80 percent of your losses, and it also pays a death benefit. PIP is required in: Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Utah. Some states also require you to purchase car insurance that will cover your own medical expenses, pain and suffering losses and, in some states, car damage in the event that the other motorist is at fault and is either uninsured or underinsured. Even though each state has minimum (or no) requirements for bodily injury liability, it is will likely be in your best interest to purchase higher limits. If someone else is injured and you're at fault, the minimum liability coverage may not cover their medical expenses, in which case their attorney will most certainly come after your assets. It is commonly recommended that you purchase 100/300 limits of bodily injury liability. On the other hand, if your personal assets don't amount to much, you don't have a whole lot for them to bother about, so the minimum requirements might actually match you and will save you some despertaly needed cash. Besides various forms of liability insurance, there is collision and comprehensive auto insurance coverage to consider. Collision covers damage to the policyholder's auto resulting from running into anything, be it another car, a fire hydrant, or a light post. Comprehensive coverage takes care of your car in the case of theft, fire, falling objects, explosions, or other unexpected problems. Collision and comprehensive coverage are required in most lease contracts, and are essential if you own an expensive car. If you're driving an old rattletrap, However, and the sum of your premium and your deductible are close to or exceed the worth of your vehicle, you might want to consider doing without this coverage. Before you purchase any type of vehicle insurance coverage, be sure to study your other insurance policies so you don't end up paying for something you don't need. If you have a decent health insurance plan, you might get away with purchasing the simple minimum personal injury protection coverage- or none at all if your state doesnt require it. However, you might end up paying a co-pay and deductible that wouldn't apply if you have PIP or MedPay. Uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage could also be a great buy, even if you have full medical coverage, as it can pay for your pain and suffering damages. If you belong to an organization that offers roadside assistance, you don't need to purchase that through your insurer. The same thing applies for mechanical breakdown insurance if you own a newly financed or leased vehicle which is still covered under warranty. It's easy to be exasperated of the money spent on insurance. Keep in mind that auto insurance will most likely come to your rescue at some point, so it's crucial to purchase a useful policy. Know what coverage you must have and know what additional coverage fits your lifestyle. Then if trouble strikes, you'll be ready.
Tax-deferred Real Property Exchanges: Do Co-ops Qualify? [mortgageprotectiontips.blogspot.com]
mmibrokers.com Co-op Bank to raise mortgage rate The Co-operative Bank will raise its standard variable mortgage rate (SVR) by 0.5 percentage points from 1 May. The rate, which sets monthly payments for 54000 mortgage borrowers, will go up from 4.24% to 4.74%. The average increase in cost for these customers will be £15 per month, or £180 a year. Some homeowners across the UK have been preparing to pay more after Halifax and Bank of Ireland sparked a round of SVR increases. Lenders to have announced increases in SVRs in recent weeks include: The Halifax, which will raise its SVR from 3.5% to 3.99% on 1 May The Bank of Ireland's UK arm, which includes Bristol and West, which will put up its SVR from 2.99% to 3.99% in June, then increase it again to 4.49% in September Clydesdale and Yorkshire banks, which will raise their SVR from 4.59% to 4.95% on 1st of May The Co-op said the move was the result of the higher costs it faced to fund mortgages, as well as "changing conditions in the mortgage market". This included alterations to the funds available to use for mortgages from deposits made by savers. "We are increasingly seeing a trend for savers to opt for longer term, fixed rate savings products, which typically pay higher rates of interest, and have a knock on effect in terms of the cost of then providing funding for our mortgages," a Co-op spokesman said. An SVR is arbitrarily set by each individual lender, taking into account the Bank of England base rate, the cost of ...

Tax-Deferred Exchanges have long been a popular means of shielding real estate investors from capital gains tax. A properly structured tax-deferred exchange under 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (IRC), allows an owner of real property, the "Exchanger," to defer the recognition of capital gains tax normally recognized upon the sale of real property.
While exchanges have been possible since 1921, it was not until the now famous decision in Starker v. U.S., 602 F.2d 1341 (9th Cir. 1979), which provided for exchanges on a delayed, rather than simultaneous basis, that exchanges really came into vogue. Starker appears, however, to have been greeted with a great deal of scepticism on the East Coast, while real estate investors on the West Coast fully embraced this new method of exchanging property. Consequently, the volume of case law, revenue rulings, etc., regarding exchanges of New York real property is small compared to the volume of law amassed on the West Coast.
When attempting to resolve issues regarding an exchange of New York property, it is sometimes useful, and oft times necessary, to consider this larger body of West Coast law as persuasive authority. Although exchanges of personal property are permitted as well, the principle focus of this article will be on exchanges of real property.
At the heart of the exchange transaction is the requirement that properties must be of "like-kind" in order to qualify for exchange treatment. Like-kind property is defined as property held for productive use in a trade or business, or for investment purposes, that is exchanged for property which is also held for productive use in a trade or business, or for investment purposes. IRC 1031 (a)(1). Like-kind refers to the nature or character of the property, and "[t]he fact that any real estate involved is improved or unimproved is not material, for that fact relates only to the grade or quality of the property and not to its kind or class." Treas. Reg. 1.1031 (a) 1(b). Any property conforming to this definition will be considered like-kind.
For example, vacant land which is held for investment purposes can be exchanged for industrial property held for business purposes. There is no requirement that properties be similar in type or class. However, real property must be exchanged for real property. This rule leads to the basis of this article: Are cooperative apartments considered real property for purposes of an IRC 1031 tax-deferred exchange?
The determination as to what is considered real property, and what is considered personal property, is generally determined by state law. Reg. 1.1031(a)-1(b), (c); Aquilino v. U.S., 363 U.S. 509 (1960); Coupe v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue, 52 TC 394 (Tax Ct., 1969), acq. in result, 1970-1 C.B., acq. in result, 1970-2 C.B.
In addition, the Internal Revenue Service opined, in Rev. Rul. 55-749, that state law controls the characterization of property interests for the purposes of IRC 1031. Although there has not been a ruling by the IRS directly on the question of the exchangability of New York cooperative apartments, there is a body of Revenue Rulings and Private Letter Rulings, coupled with a body of New York and federal case and statutory law governing the existence of cooperative apartments, that helps provide a framework to the analysis.
Where state law is not clear on the characterization of a property interest, such as is the case for an interest in a New York cooperative apartment, federal law can be referenced to see how similar property has been treated under IRC 1031. Private Letter Rulings 8443054 and 8810034 (PLRs) state that an interest in a California cooperative apartment is a unique combination of a stock interest coupled with a leasehold interest, which should not merely be regarded as a stockholder s interest in realty.
The stockholder s interest is important to consider because IRC 1031(a)(2)-(b) provides that nonrecognition of a gain or loss shall not apply to any exchange of, among other things, stocks, bonds or notes. However, the PLRs remove this important hurdle by stating that a "tenant-stockholder s" interest in a cooperative apartment should not fall "within the parenthetical language of section 1031(a) excluding stocks from favorable treatment under that provision." Inasmuch as the statutory schemes of both California and New York cooperative apartment interests are similar, these PLRs appear to persuasive.
Applicable Law
Although a lessor s interest is defined as a chattel real under New York law, Ehrsam v. City of Utica, 37 A.D. 272 (4th Dep t 1899), and thus considered a personal property interest, 1.1031(a)-1(c) of the tax regulations provides that no gain or loss is recognized if a taxpayer who is not a dealer in real estate exchanges a leasehold of a fee with 30 years or more to run for real estate, including options to renew. Both PLRs state that the "tenant- stockholder s" leasehold interest, and the term remaining in the lease, are factors in considering whether a cooperative apartment is an interest in real property.
While a leasehold interest is considered real property in California, In re Pitts Estate, 218 Cal. 184 (1933), the PLRs seem to imply that a cooperative apartment lease having a term of less than 30 years may prove fatal to an exchange transaction, regardless of the underlying state law. For purposes of a tax-deferred exchange, an interest in a New York leasehold with 30 years or more left to run, including renewal options, is exchangeable for a leasehold of 30 years or more, or a fee interest in real property.
Accordingly, proper planning could alleviate a potentially fatal problem if the owner of the cooperative apartment were to secure a new lease or option to renew for at least 30 years, in advance of the exchange transaction. However, securing a new lease or option within one year of the intended exchange runs the risk of the IRS disallowing nonrecognition treatment of the capital gains tax because the property was not held for business or investment purposes, but rather for resale. IRC 1031(a)(2)-(A)
The IRS presumably sought to add authority to its reasoning in the PLRs by citing Cal.Civ.Code 783 and Rev. Rul. 77-423, which treat a California condominium interest as an ownership interest in real property. However, the language recited in PLR 8810034 seems to be brought forth verbatim from PLR 8443054, which was written before the enactment, in 1985, of Cal.Civ.Code 783.1, which states that "both the separate interest and the correlative interest in the stock cooperation, however designated, are interests in real property."
Unfortunately, in what could be described as the dicta of the PLR, the IRS contrasted the PLR to Rev. Rul. 66-40, in which an interest in a New York cooperative apartment was not considered real property for the purposes of 2515 of the IRC of 1954. IRC 2515 provided for an exemption from federal gift tax when creating a tenancy by the entirety between spouses after 1954. The effect of this ruling, which was decided in 1966, was that when one spouse used his or her own funds to purchase an interest in a cooperative apartment, and in connection with this purchase, added the name of the spouse to the stock certificate as a tenant by the entirety or joint tenant, a taxable gift was made.
Although New York courts have always recognized a tenancy by the entirety in real property, In re Klatzl s Estate, 216 N.Y. 83 (1915), reargument denied, 218 N.Y. 734 (1916), and Real Prop. L. 339-i(3) was later enacted in 1964 to allow the same for New York condominiums, it was not until 1996 that EPTL 6-2.1(a)(4) was enacted, providing the owners of cooperative apartments with the same status. Clearly, this statutory change shows the New York Legislature s continuing drive to increase the real property characteristics of cooperative apartments.
Additionally, Rev. Rul. 66-40, citing In re Miller s Estate, 205 Misc. 770 (N.Y. Sur. 1954), states that an interest in a cooperative apartment did not pass by devise of "all real estate owned by me." At the time of this Revenue Ruling, the disposition of an interest in a coop by a devise of "all real estate owned by me" was at odds with a bequest of "all stock owned by me."
Problems arose when a decedent, prior to death, sold his or her interest in a house, or some other form of generally recognized real property interest, and purchased an interest in a cooperative apartment. The intent to devise a dwelling to a beneficiary under the will was often disallowed because the coop interest was considered personalty for the purposes of the estate distribution.
Fortunately, New York Courts have decided to make the disposition of an interest in a cooperative apartment more certain. The Court of Appeals asserted, in Matter of Estate of Carmer, 71 N.Y.2d 781 (1988) that indisputably, for many commerical purposes the law treats a shareholder's interest in a cooperatiave apartment primarily as an interest in a corporation. Here, however, the intent of the decedent controls, not the technical definitions found in commerical law. The will mainfests decedent's intent to leave the interest in her home to her relatives, and to this intent the court must give effect.DPA1In reaching this decision, the Court of Appeals was clearly acknowledging the obious fact that the decedent's interest in a cooperative apartment should be treated as an interest in real property, because to do otherwise would be to ignore its true nature, namely, that of a dwelling.
Further, Rev. Rul. 66-40 states that a long line of New York decisions has consistently held that an interest of a tenant of realty under a real estate lease is not realty, but a chattel real. State Tax Commission v. Shor, 43 N.Y.2d 151 (1977); Ehrsam v. City of Utica, 37 A.D. 272 (4th Dep t 1899). However, an interest in a cooperative apartment is much more than its individual components of stock ownership and leasehold interest. It is the marriage of these interests that creates the unique entity. To state that the only aspect of a coop which borders on real property is the leasehold interest is to ignore the overall scope of the ownership interest. Consequently, many practitioners, upon reading Shor, come away with the misleading impression that an interest in a New York cooperative apartment is purely personal.
The Shor Ruling
In Shor, the Court of Appeals ruled that for the purposes of securing a judgment lien interest on a cooperative apartment, docketing the judgment in the County Clerk s office was not sufficient. In order to secure a judgment creditor s interest in a cooperative apartment, a creditor must have delivered an execution on the judgment to the Sheriff.
In reaching this conclusion, the Court was merely looking to the current state of banking law, which treats the stock certificate and proprietary lease as personal property. However, the reasons for doing so have less to do with the actual classification of the interest with the protection of a lender s interest.
At the time Shor was decided, a lender would take possession of the stock certificate and proprietary lease as security for the loan in connection with the closing, instead of recording a mortgage as in a typical purchase of a real property interest. Were an interest in a cooperative apartment treated as real property for security purposes, mere possession of the stock certificates, without recording, would subordinate the lender s security interest to the claims of other creditors. Shor, 43 N.Y.2d at 158.
This method of securing the lender s interest was problematic when an owner of a cooperative apartment sought secondary financing. Secondary lenders were reluctant to lend money if they were not in possession of the stock certificate and proprietary lease. Accordingly, New York Uniform Commercial Code 9-304 was amended, effective Oct. 1, 1988, to provide for the filing of a UCC-1 financing statement in the Register s or County Clerk s office to perfect a security interest in the cooperative apartment. This method of securing a lender s interest in a coop closely resembles the recording of a mortgage to secure a lender s interest in a traditional real property interest.
Although the Court in Shor was unwilling to change the manner in which judgment liens and security interests in cooperative apartments were determined, because to do so would drag the public "into a rigidly fenced corral, kicking," the Court did not pronounce an owner s interest in a coop to be personal property. Quite to the contrary, an interest in a cooperative apartment was labelled sui generis, of its own kind or class, acknowledging that the interest defied any one exclusive classification.
Further, the Court explained that "[f]or some special purposes, the real property aspect may predominate. Grenader v. Spitz, 537 F.2d 612, 617-620, cert den, 429 U.S. 1009; cf. United Housing Foundation v. Forman, 421 U.S. 837, esp 854-860, reh den, 423 U.S. 884." Shor, 43 N.Y.2d at 154. The issue presented in Grenader and United Housing Foundation was whether the shares of stock in a coop were to be considered securities for the purposes of New York and federal securities law.
The panel in Grenader most clearly articulated the view that "the continuing obligation to pay a monthly rental fee to maintain the tenancy of the lessee strongly supports the conclusion that this was basically a real estate transaction and not an investment in a security." Although the Court of Appeals was reluctant to change the statutory scheme protecting lenders, it is apparent that for most other purposes, an interest in a cooperative apartment is treated like an interest in real property.
Further Support
In support of the premise that an interest in a cooperative apartment is evolving toward real property, one need only look to the following statutes which protect cooperative apartment owners:
CPLR 5206 provides for a homestead exemption from creditors;Public Authorities Law 2402(5) provides that a "mortgage" includes a loan by a bank to a borrower to finance the purchase of stock in a cooperative corporation;Real Property Law 254-b limits late charges on loans secured by cooperative apartments;Real Property Law 279(5) permits the issuance of graduated mortgage loans for the purposes of financing the cooperative ownership of real estate; Article 36B of the General Business Law creates a statutorily implied warranty in new home sales, including cooperatives.
Although by no means an exhaustive list, these statutes clearly show the New York Legislature s continuing attempt to give cooperative apartment owners the same benefits that owners of traditional interests in real property enjoy.
The last persuasive argument that the IRS sought to make in Rev. Rul. 66-40 was that "nowhere in the Tax Law has the [New York] legislature characterized a leasehold as taxable real property." Once again the treatment of an interest in a cooperative apartment as two separate interests, that of a stockholder and lessee, leads to an inconsistent result. Although owners of coops do not pay real estate taxes directly, a portion of their maintenance charges is directly attributable to the payment of real estate taxes by the cooperative corporation.
The IRS recognizes this unique situation by allowing an owner of a cooperative apartment to take a tax deduction for his or her proportionate share of the real estate taxes allowed as a deduction to the corporation, and the interest allowable as a deduction to the corporation for the indebtedness incurred in connection with the acquisition, construction, alteration, rehabilitation or maintenance of the land and apartment building. IRC 216. The U.S. Supreme Court in United Housing Foundation, id. at 855, stated that these tax benefits enjoyed by the coop owners are "nothing more than that which is available to any homeowner who pays interest on his mortgage."
In conclusion, although most of the precedents relied on in Rev. Rul. 66-40 have been rejected by the evolution of case and statutory law, the IRS has continued to cite the ruling for purposes of classifying an interest in a New York cooperative apartment as a personal property interest. Inasmuch as the definition of real property is governed by state law, it would appear that the true nature of the coop, namely, that of a dwelling or business space, should predominate based on the current state of New York law. Accordingly, there appears to be overwhelming legal authority to support the conclusion that a cooperative apartment contains a sufficient real property identity to be considered real property for the purposes of an IRC 1031 tax-deferred exchange.

The sale of promotional clothing is all about tailoring products to meet business needs. Now, promotional businesses aren't clothing businesses. They don't tailor in the sense that tailors tailor suits. Tailoring products to meet business needs means sitting down and working out a way to make merchandise represent business names and logos on a large scale.
Large scale merchandising works on the principle that optimum coverage gives business names and logos the best possible chance of being noticed. On the TV, it's simple. You present a picture and an idea on a reel that will go out to millions. But promotional businesses don't have this luxury. They have to target their products in a way that allows as many different people as possible to notice their business name and logo.
This means studying demographics and finding out what people identify with, as well as what they use in the day to day lives. Find out who the people using your product will be, and cater to the things they find useful and the thinks they simply like; and get your business name and business logo onto an array of promotional items that people use or are simply surrounded by. Clothing items made by promotional products companies and designed to display the business name and logo of a company, are tailored to certain demographics and vocational types.
The hours of work put into designing Promotional Clothing add up to a line of quality products which really communicate the value of having your business name and business logo associated with high quality. There is an art to finding the right market for the right clothing. Sympathy between a market for logos and a market for affordable apparel is crucial to the aim of all promotional businesses that rely on merchandising.

No Closing Cost Mortgage and Refinance [mortgageprotectiontips.blogspot.com]
Since that first article above (written in 2008 with rates around 6.0%), 30 year mortgage rates have consistently fallen for four consecutive years, making now actually the best time in a generation (so far) to refinance. Unfortunately, the writers of ... No Rush in Refinancing Your Mortgage
Everyone wants to save money in today's difficult economy and with real estate it is no different. Home buyers are willing to consider almost any kind of mortgage product and financing scheme that can perhaps save them a bit of cash over the long haul. The trouble is that when the demand for such products goes up often times the market is flooded with all sorts of weak and ridiculous mortgage products that ultimately have trouble delivering on what they may be telling the market they are supposed to do. The no closing cost mortgage, and the no closing cost refinance are two of these kinds of mortgage products that do not deliver on what they claim they are able to do and for this reason they should be avoided at all costs by home buyers.
So how do the no closing cost mortgage and the no closing cost refinance not deliver on what they promise? It is really not that complicated, and in essence these two home loan products are supposed to save their customers money when in reality they may actually cost the person more over the long-term.
Both no closing cost mortgages and no closing cost refinance loans are supposed to come with no closing costs and should thus save the buyer money if they choose one of these loan products over the more standard home loan products that do require the home buyer to pay for closing costs.
The reality is that although most of these sorts of home loans do waive the closing costs, they in actuality cost the person more via higher interest rates that the person may or may not know about. Most of the lenders that provide these sorts of loans will eliminate the closing costs but in compensation they usually raise the person's interest rate by a quarter to a half a point without even telling the person.
If you do the math for a conventional mortgage this means that the individual is going to have to pay more over time and this will typically result in the person paying more than they would have had to if they paid their closing costs instead of having the higher interest rate. This is why you should stay away from these no closing cost home loans and in the end you shouldn't even thinking about applying for what are ultimately scams.

Why to Pre-Qualify For a Mortgage [mortgageprotectiontips.blogspot.com]
Don't open new credit cards or take on more debt. -Get pre-qualified for a mortgage before shopping for a house, advises Greg McBride, senior financial analyst for Bankrate.com. -Shop for a good price on a house, but also shop for a good mortgage rate. Susan Tompor: Tempted by record low mortgage rates? Do your homework first
Before you apply for the mortgage, before you even start looking at houses, you are going to want to pre-qualify. There is no point putting the cart before the horse and all that sort of folksy sounding advice. Pre-qualifying is a process where a lender examines the buyer's credit profile (you'll want a good one), and debt to income ratio (you'll want a good one of those, too). This allows the lender to make an estimate on how much money they are willing to loan the buyer.
Doing this before hand helps the shopper determine how much they can afford to spend. A price range is a good thing. There is no point in bidding on or really even looking at a home that is 5 times out of your range. Sure it's fun to pretend you could afford a Malibu beach house, but the bank won't accept pretend money in payment for your loan. The pre-qualification protects the buyer from bidding on a house without having a lender letter stating that they are having the credit and potential to buy the house.
People selling their homes want buyers who are serious about buying them. Being pre-qualified allows the buyer to know who is serious, and who is wasting their time and maybe costing them a buyer.
To pre-qualify the lender will need a list of your assets, liabilities, all sources of income, monthly payments and permission to run a credit report. An entire loan application shouldn't necessary at that time. The lender will do whatever magic they do and based on the afore mentioned debt to income ratio and their own guidelines give you an estimate on what they are likely be inclined to loan you.
Remember this isn't the actual loan. It's just you asking "If I were to ask for a loan, what would you say".
Seattle SEO Company Lends Credibility [mortgageprotectiontips.blogspot.com]
Payday loan companies are a bad financial idea. They feed your impulse to spend what you don't have, and then they charge you exorbitant fees for it. I completely understand the mentality of needing your paycheck before payday. It's definitely a stressful feeling to not have money available. But heading over to a payday loan company is not the solution. Those companies charge exorbitant fees and you run the risk of getting into greater debt. Payday loan companies are at the edge of a slippery financial slope that can be difficult to get back on top of. When you go into a payday loan company you typically postdate a check for the amount you want advanced, plus a fee. They give you the cash and when the date comes the company cashes the check. Payday loan companies are supposedly convenient but tend to trap people in a never-ending spiral of debt. The best way to avoid them is to budget your money so you don't ever spend money you don't have. If you have to negotiate with your creditors or borrow some quick cash from a family member, then do it before you go to a payday loan company. If you are chronically short on cash or if your payday never seems to conveniently coincide with your due dates, you can consider taking out a small, low-fee credit card to bridge the gap. Once again, however, don't spend more than you have. If you can't pay back your credit card bill then don't spend that money in the first place. There are other alternatives to payday loan companies, and the ...

Where will I have to go for court?
If you have been charged in Memphis, you will go to the Criminal Court building downtown at 201 Poplar Ave. Your case will be heard in General Sessions court, which is in the lower level of 201 Poplar (often referred to as "downstairs"). All Memphis criminal cases start out in General Sessions; some, including most felonies, go to Criminal Court either through a process called information or through the grand jury.
If you were charged in Bartlett, Collierville, or Germantown your case will be heard in that particular jurisdiction's court. Misdemeanors can often be resolved without going downtown, but if it's a serious charge such as a felony it will likely be sent to Criminal Court in Memphis through one of the ways I just mentioned.
I was given a citation. What does that mean?
A citation is issued in many misdemeanor cases such as disorderly conduct, shoplifting, and simple drug possession. A citation is given to the accused in lieu of prosecution. That means you do not get arrested or have to pay a bond, but you are given a date to go downtown and be booked and processed. That date is usually a couple weeks after the citation is issued. If your case is in one of the seperate jurisdictions mentioned above, you will not go downtown but instead to that jurisdiction's processing center.
At the booking date you do not go in front of a judge. You will be fingerprinted and will fill out some paperwork so that a file can be created for your case. The whole process takes about an hour. On your booking date they will tell you when your court date is set, which will probably be a few weeks later.
I've been charged with a crime and don't know what to do. What should I do next?
Call an experienced Memphis criminal defense lawyer. He or she can review your case and give you an candid assessment of your options. You need to know exactly what you're charged with (it's not enough to say "a drug crime" or "a sex crime") and you need to be honest. If you have more than one charge, tell them. If you were out on bail or on probation for a previous charge, tell them. If you have prior convictions, tell them. The more the lawyer knows about your case, the better he or she can help you.
Will I go to jail? Will this charge be on my record forever?
It depends on the crime for which you are charged, the particular facts of the case, and whether you have a prior criminal record. Most first-time offenders will be eligible for probation, as well as diversion which allows you to have the charge removed from your record after probation is completed. One exception to diversion is DUI. A person charged with driving under the influence in Tennessee is not eligible for diversion, so the only ways to avoid having it on your record permanently are to either be acquitted at trial or have the case dismissed by the prosecution. Furthermore, while DUI offenders may receive probation if convicted, by law a certain amount of time must be served in jail. A first offense carries a minimum 48 hours in jail, a second offense minimum 45 days in jail.
I want to maintain my innocence and fight this case. What do I do?
One option is to have a preliminary hearing, which is a hearing to determine probable cause for the case to go to the grand jury. Because this is such a low standard, usually probable cause is found and the case goes forward. The object of a preliminary hearing is not to win the case and get it dismissed, but to gather evidence by cross examining the state's witnesses. These are the same witnesses that would have to testify should the case go to trial. At trial a jury would determine if there is enough evidence, beyond a reasonable doubt, to convict. The state would have to produce its witnesses and evidence, and you would have the opportunity to call your own witnesses and even testify for yourself. You and your Memphis criminal lawyer must go over these and other issues to determine what is best course of action to take.Â
