Many people contemplating bankruptcy are afraid that they never will be able to obtain a reasonable car loan. Fortunately, this is a common myth that is easily dispelled.

Indeed, you may not immediately receive the lowest rates reserved for those with sterling credit, but you can still get a car loan. The key is making sure that ...

On July 1, the Commonwealth of Virginia began requiring all first-time DUI offenders to install ignition interlock devices in their vehicles, toughening a former law that only required first-time offenders with a .15 or greater blood alcohol concentration to install the devices.

The case revolved around an employee of the New York State Department of Law who was involved in a fistfight while riding a shuttle bus to a distant employee parking lot. ...

The holiday season will be much different for law enforcement agencies across the state as a new law will enable police to force alleged DUI offenders to submit to chemical testing.

Whistleblowers may be entitled to up to 30 percent of what ...
