--- Quote from: Tooostep1955 on February 04, 2008, 11:51:10 AM ---UPDATE: My daughter and son have received their summons to appear in court March 11, 2008.
My attorney has suggested I contact this young man and try and settle out of court. I am praying, my wife is praying and you all are praying. I am still uncertain as of the right thing to do at this time. I know to some who read this matter it all seems so petty and in the bigger scheme of God's plan I know it is. However, I am a dad. I love my children, and want them to rely on God, and know that whenever they are right, that I will support them 100%. So, I beg my sisters and brothers to pray my children and wife and I see, understand, and do God's will in all this.
Thank You All

I am not understanding this part... isn't that what lawyers are hired for? Why would it be suggested of you to settle out of court? I would think the young man who caused damage to a vehicle while threatening your son (in front of several witnesses) would be the one suggested to settle out of court. He is the only one with something to lose, correct?
If I understand the facts you have presented here I would question if you have the right lawyer.
My opinion is only my opinion though Don, as is everyone else's here... what works for one of us may not be right for you or your situation. About 20-25 years ago I was getting myself into trouble with the law... or trouble seemed to find me as well. It would be much easier to handle something that only affected myself. I know that if something were to happen to my children now it would be a difficult thing for me... but it is also an experience or life lesson for them.
My prayers are with you... you may not understand the purpose in all of this for quite some time... remember God is also working in the life of the young man who caused this trouble.

Hi Don,
I have to concur to what Bobby posted, the defendant should be the one seeking a settlement out of court if I understand the circumstances properly.
Your family is in my prayers,
Joe

Greetings To All In The Holy Name Of Christ Our Lord!
I am in the process of contacting a criminal trial lawyer. There is more to this case than I first knew.
My attorney only handles family law; IE: wills, name changes, adoptions, etc...He told me the chances of collecting the damages award from the court is easy, but the actual act of this guy paying those damages is another thing entirely. I did try and contact him to no avail, so we are proceeding with legal actions.
Again thank you for taking time to keep my family in prayer.
Agape love to all

Hello,
I just finished reading ALL the postings regarding this angry young man who seems to have "a chip on his shoulder".
Suppose a lawyer or counselor were to ask him, face-to-face, when he is quiet, in front of a good number of witnesses, "Do you REALLY want to hurt this person? Ask yourself, 'WHY?' " And see what he says THEN......it might start the ball rolling in that young man's mind as to whether he really IS sincere in wanting to hurt another person, or to take charge of his own life and mind, and DECIDE to behave in accord with harmonious society. A Miracle might occur right before everyone's eyes, when he is asked that question! :D :D Wouldn't hurt to TRY!
BTW, the dictionary definition of "decision" comes from "de-", 'away from; apart' and "cis-" , 'to cut' , therefore it basically means "to CHOOSE".
God BLESS this whole situation! AND each person involved!!
