			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Domestic assault in Tennessee is defined as assault against a &#8220;domestic abuse victim.&#8221; What constitutes a domestic abuse victim can be pretty broad, but it generally includes people who are related by blood or marriage, or people who have dated or had a sexual relationship. That can be a lot of different people in someone&#8217;s life. It could be an in-law, a distant relative, or an ex-boyfriend or girlfriend.</p>
<p>Under Tennessee law, where a police officer has probable cause to believe a person has committed domestic violence, the police may arrest that person. Generally, to make a warrantless arrest for a misdemeanor the offense must be committed in the officer&#8217;s presence; however there is an exception to this rule for domestic violence. As long as the police have probable cause, they may arrest the individual for domestic assault without a warrant and without having witnessed the offense.</p>
<p>Often in domestic cases it may appear that two or more people were committing domestic violence towards each other. In these cases the officer must determine who is the primary aggressor, and may look at such factors as the history of domestic abuse between the parties, the severity of injuries inflicted on each person, evidence from the persons involved and witnesses, and whether anyone acted in self-defense.</p>
<p>For a person charged with domestic violence in Memphis, they will have different options on how to handle the case. They may always elect to have a trial; however, if there is a way to dispose of the case and keep it off the client&#8217;s record without a trial I usually recommend that approach. One common way is to enroll in anger management classes.</p>
<p>The State&#8217;s attorney will usually allow the accused, if they do not have a prior record, to take anger management classes in lieu of further prosecution. The classes meet once a week for eight weeks and the client gets a certificate at the end. The client then brings the certificate to court and the case is dismissed. The client will have to pay court costs as well. Following the dismissal and payment of costs, the client can have the complete record of the case expunged.</p>
<p>Another option might be to do what is often done in Collierville, a suburb of Memphis. In Collierville the prosecution will often dismiss a domestic violence case if the victim agrees to sign an affidavit stating they do not wish to press charges. As a domestic assault lawyer for the Memphis area, I can assist in drafting the affidavit and having the victim sign it at my office. I would then submit it to the prosecutor, who would announce to the judge that the case is being dismissed, and then assist the client in the process of expunging the matter from their record.</p>
<p>The cost of a domestic violence conviction can be high. Not only does it leave a lasting stigma, the individual may be facing up to 11 months and 29 days in jail. Furthermore, under federal law they would not be allowed to ever again purchase or possess a firearm. Because of these consequences it is important that an individual charged with domestic assault in Tennessee take all necessary steps to insure that it does not become a permanent conviction on their record.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Memphis is located on the banks of the Mississippi river in Northwest Tennessee. With a population of around one and a half million it has a lot to offer.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Having a good defense is essential when you are faced with a DUI prosecution, so be sure to be represented by experienced Memphis dui attorneys, who can handle the case properly. In the end, everything depends on lawyers, so it’s very important to choose wisely. Young people, especially, are tempted to drive while being under the influence of alcohol or drugs. They defy the law and rebel against it, to prove their independence and free spirit. Unfortunately, the state laws have zero tolerance for juvenile rebellion. Driving under the influence can cost you your driving license, unless you are defended by one of the skilled Memphis dui lawyers.</p>
<p>Should you be implied in a DUI incident, don’t panic. The first thing you should do is to find out as much information about state laws and your legal rights as you can. Contact one of the Memphis dui lawyers to help you, or you can look it up on the Internet. Statistics show that about half a million Americans are involved in DUI-related car accidents, so there are many chances that you will need the assistance of Memphis dui attorneys at least once in your life. The unpleasant consequences of these incidents can be loss of driver’s license, substantial fines, incarceration or house arrests. The best way to avoid these problems is, of course, to refrain yourself from driving after you have drunk alcohol. If you couldn’t help it, the only solution is to hire competent Memphis dui attorneys.</p>
<p>What exactly can Memphis dui lawyers do for you? Depending on the circumstances, they can check the case for errors, have samples analyzed, suppress irrelevant evidence, contest the loss of driver license and diminish penalties. In other words, Memphis dui attorneys will do their best to keep you out of jail and make sure your license won’t be suspended. DUI lawyers have seen plenty of similar cases and know the right defense strategy. They can get you out of trouble or at least negotiate a considerably reduced sentence.</p>
<p>It is said that it’s better to prevent than to suppress, so our advice is to try to avoid driving under the influence. This way you will avoid not only penalties, but also serious damage to the others and yourself. However, having one beer is not the same thing as being completely drunk. Therefore the punishment should fit the offense. We should not focus on punishing the one who has made a mistake, but on avoiding such mistakes in the future.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Born in 1904, Sleepy John Estes rose to become a Memphis musician that would help pave the way for all other musicians. His father was a sharecropper who played guitar, which was what most people were who moved to Tennessee looking for a better life. When Sleepy John was 19, he began playing and singing in public when he wasnt working. He joined forces with two other aspiring musicians, and the rest is history. In 1929 he debuted as a recording artist in Memphis, recording for Victor Records. He would record until 1952, after which he was largely out of the public eye for almost twenty years.</p>
<p>The nickname Sleepy is said to have stemmed from either a blood pressure disorder or narcolepsy that he may have suffered from. Others claim that he earned the name by simply sleeping or ignoring things when things got bad or too much to handle. John Estes voice has been described as a distinctive, unique voice with a crying tone to it. He was a moderate guitar player, often teaming up with other advanced guitarists for his recordings.</p>
<p>In the 1970s it was thought for a time that Estes had died, because he had seemed to vanish without a trace, and his voice sounded so old twenty years earlier, people assumed that he must have been dead by then. However, two men looking to revive the Blues did in fact find Sleepy John, living in poverty as a homeless man on the streets. He had also by this time become completely blind. Nonetheless, he resumed touring and recording, making appearances in Japan and across Europe. Although this was a significant comeback for Sleepy John Estes, many fans agreed that his pre war recordings were sharper, deeper, and simply better than during his comeback tours.</p>
<p>Most of this Memphis musicians music was based on his own life. His lyrical abilities focused on simplicity, the ability to turn clever phrases, and a keen observation about the simplicity of life. He wrote songs about the local banker, going to start a music career, a teenage girl, the local mechanic, and of course, working and the value of good agricultural sense. Sleepy John Estes died in Tennessee in 1977, the victim of a stroke in June of that year. He was posthumously inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have been turned down for a mortgage, the mortgage company must tell you why you were rejected. Rejection does not make you a bad person and rejection does not mean you cannot still get home financing. The following type of institutions may still offer you a mortgage even if you are on the Bad Credit Mortgage Memphis list!</p>
<p>1. A credit union. If you belong to a credit union, visit the loan officer and explain to this person that you believe you are on a Bad Credit Mortgage Memphis list and you want to find out if the credit union would consider extending a loan to you. The loan office will check your credit report and make a decision though you were rejected previously. Membership has its privileges and a Credit Union is a wise alternative for some consumers.</p>
<p>2. State government. Tennessee, like all states, has agencies in place to help residents obtain a mortgage. Contact your government offices to find out which agency can assist you. In addition, contact your state attorney general if you learn that you are on a Bad Credit Mortgage Memphis list and know that you shouldn&#8217;t be!</p>
<p>3. Your church. Churches, parachurch organizations, and nonprofit associations may be of help to you too. Some of these heralded organizations have received government funds to be used to help residents of the community get key financial assistance. Check your phone book&#8217;s white pages for local organizations or visit your public library for help. Research online too!</p>
<p>All in all, being on the Bad Credit Mortgage Memphis list does not mean you will not get a mortgage. You may need to receive some credit counseling first, but lenders are in the business to let you borrow money and help your local community to prosper. A little extra effort on your part can mean the difference between owning a home or renting.</p>
