This is a follow up question … IN a nutshell my boarding house manager was drunk one night he choked me in front of a witness and then fled… he was arrested later that night and charged with domestic violence.. i filed a restraining order and today in court in was made permanent for one year.. the judge also stated i have a potential lawsuit i can file against the home owner who employed the house manager.. Question i have for you all is anyone familiar with the law.. can you tell me if you were in my shoes what grounds would that lawsuit be on… People on here have said it would be easier to move.. that may be true but at this time i don’t have the money and second and most importantly.. is everyone saying .. just let it go.. like it never happened.. he has broken into other tenants rooms including a pregnant woman and also another roommate.. every time there’s an incident the home owners are contacted .. and all they have to say is.. well maybe with all the drama there everyone needs to move and we can just sell the home… its a care free attitude.. and yet they continue to employ him… the idea of a lawsuit has come to me as a means of showing them you cant treat people like that… about the choking incident i was not hospitalized or anything like that … and i live in Tacoma,Washington…

This is my story on what happened Saturday on through Sunday from which I received my first ever DWI. Saturday afternoon my roommate and I had plans to meet some friends at Jesters Pub and listen to a few of the live bands that were scheduled to play there. We all were having a good time, Jesters is a type of bar where we can let out a little aggression it has what they call a mosh pit where everyone runs jumps and pushes each other, a very fun atmosphere for a certain type of person great exercise as well. Well after a few rounds of “moshing” a few rounds of drinks I found myself back in the “mosh pit”. Next thing I remember is numerous amounts of people tackling me and the last thing I remember is losing consciousness when I came to I was outside with the bouncers telling me that I need to take my roommate to the hospital because he had hurt his arm. So being the nieve drunk that I apparently am, and still in a state of confusion/adrenalin I scooped him up and headed to the car. Once in the car my senses hit me I told him that I probably shouldn’t drive so we called a friend to meet us. Unfortunately we had to meet our designated driver 3-5 blocks down the road at a local gas station…This is where I made my mistake I agreed to take him to the gas station. Almost immediately after we pulled out of the bar’s parking lot I saw blue lights and proceeded to pull over. I told the officer my situation and was arrested for DWI. I now understand that I made the wrong decision and things could have been much much worse. I’m thankful that no one else was injured or killed. I’m currently thinking about my situation I live off post I take care of my 20 month daughter and my wife is in the army as well. I really don’t know what to do or how much trouble I’m really in. Looking for lawyers paying the courts doesn’t fit within my budget along with a mortgage, car payment, wife, and child.
