I am a male of 31 years and my roommate is about 25. We got into an argument tonight. At one point, I felt especially offended by something he said, so I got in his face, called him a bad name, and slapped his hand away. I immediately apologized and regret ever doing that. But now he’s threatening to call the police. Does he have a case?

Six days ago my mother and brother came to my house around 1am to “repo” my brothers ex girlfriends car. She was just visiting me as she does a few times per week. I do not have a relationship with my family anymore. It’s complicated to explain all of the reasons why, but for now I just do not. My mother has been trying to ruin my life ever since we stopped talking on 12/2009. The “repo” situation only came up bc she wants nothing to do with my brother and would not answer his calls. He had been drinking and was completely disorderly. They came to my house and he began banging on the door, making a huge scene outside. Eventually he woke up my one year old daughter. I eventually went outside through a side door to try to get him to leave and diffuse the situation. Once my mother seen me, she scream obscenity at me and punched me in my face. I physically defended myself against the violence. When my “sister in law” seen what was going on, she ran out of the house to defend me because my mother was on top of me (She is a much bigger woman) She took my mother off of me and eventually my “mother” and “brother” left. The police had been called before the situation, but came after it was all done. I pressed charges, pictures were taken, and my mother was arrested last night. I was advised that she was release from jail today and intends to press charges back on me- out of spite.
Is it possible for her to press charges on me even though I was victimized on my own property?
Should I hire a attorney.
I just want this woman to leave me alone but I know that will not happen if I do not follow through with this. Dropping the charges really is not an option for me.
I’m just looking for some answers and possibly some options.

Hi there.

Okay, here it is…

My boyfriend, (we’ll say “Fred”), was at a bar conversing with the owner. The bouncer placed a chair directly in front of Fred’s field of vision (which was directed towards the band) and simply stared at Fred. Fred then placed a chair in front of the bouncer and did the same. The bouncer began pushing Fred hard, repeatedly backwards. I’m not entirely clear on the words that were exchanged but the bouncer had not told him to leave or warned him for anything. When Fred and the bouncer were near the exit, the bouncer then pushed him out of the bar and onto the pavement where he sustained multiple small cuts and bruises. The bouncer then went back inside. Frustrated, Fred stood back up and reached for the bar door only to find that the bouncer was holding it shut. They pulled for a moment and then Fred became more frustrated and punched the window of the bar. The window cracked and the bar/bouncer called the police. Fred was apprehended by police, charged with mischief and given a court date. Fred and I are going to file assault charges against the bouncer. The next morning Fred had trouble getting out of bed due to the fact that the bouncer’s actions had aggravated a previous soccer injury to his chest. Fred had multiple bruises, cuts, nail/finger marks, and scrapes all over his body including one spectacular bruise on one of his biceps. We’ve photographed the injuries for about 5 days until the bruises healed.

Any advice would be immensely appreciated!

I was arrested for assault, not battery, just threating my brother in law. Three months later he drove to my home 100 miles away and beat me up for which he was arrested. When my case went to court, the asst. district attorney agreed to drop the case against me if I would agree not to testify in the case against my brother in law which was in another jurisdiction, in which he has no concern at all. It appears to me that he was acting as my brother in laws private attorney, not as an asst d.a. Is there any reason for his doing this?

If I was shoved twice and kicked repeatedly before I hit my assailant, should I have charges pending on myself?

my friend was hit in the face then pushed down by her cousins boyfriend. she called the cops & the cops told her that they could not arrest the man, only give him a ticket. they said assault & battery is not a crime in Las Vegas. how would she go about filing a complaint against the police department & have this man arrested?

So i am 16 in the state of Florida, my mom doesn’t want me. And she won’t let me move back in with her, which is okay because she mentally and physically abuses me. currently i am staying with a friend. due to the fact i got kicked out. my father who lives far from where i am now, refuses to listen to anything a say and is an alcoholic that changes drastically when has consumed to many drinks. he will not allow me to stay with friends and finish my high school education at my current school, and i will not, can not live with either parent. What legal action can i take? what are my options? Can i get emancipated? should i run away, if i was found would i get in trouble? Is there a possibility that i can have custody of me given to my friends mom? please tell me what i can do?

My husband was in a fight 4 years ago, and he’s now in prison for VOP. The guy he fought is in a civil lawsuit with the owner of the bar they were at. What is the statue of limitaitons on a civil lawsuit in Florida? How long does this guy have to decide if he wants to sue my husband personally for his injuries?

This past weekend i was at a friends birthday party, their was some drinking involved. During the party the hostess to uncles come, one approaches me and demands i give him a smoke, i say no at first but end up giving it to him, the other uncle sits beside me on the couch he starts talking about his wife and i ask if she was hot, he starts yelling and swearing at me, i tell him it wasn’t meant offensively, His wife comes and gets him and they leave. At around 12 o’ clock we are all leaving the party, the one uncle is outside waiting for me, asks if i said something about him and punches me in the face, i hit him back then the other uncle comes and attacks me as well, i was hit 4 times. I go to my car and had a bat ball and glove in my car, i grab the bat and was walking over there. someone stopped me and the uncles didn’t see me with it. what should i do or what can i do>?
