I hope your son is okay. Something doesn't sound right here. Insurance companies do not usually arrange attorneys for claimants - unless there are details missing here. You should reach out to attorneys on your own to try to set up a free initial consult to discuss.

Courts in Louisiana are not 100% uniform in how they will grant a divorce, especially if you are not represented. My advice is to call the local bar association and see if they can provide any assistance to you, or if they can recommend an attorney who will meet/consult with you at a reduced rate... View More

You need to review your lease, if you have one, to determine whether or not you can proceed in the manner you deisre. Normally, unless you have the landlord's permission to decrease that month's rent due to the payment of the bill, you have to pay your monthly rent or you are in breach... View More
Now she wants to evict me. What are my legal rights
answered on Mar 25, 2024
Your post is unclear however the gist is what right do you have to be on the property? Is it written and if so, what are the terms? If there are no terms, then I would assume the owner has every right to ask that you leave and if you fail to do so then you are subject to eviction.

The state can always charge you. If the issue is proof of an element a trial is required. technical deficiencies can be handled by o motion to quash. the motion to quash if granted would end the prosecution. The ability of the state to prove what they claim is an issue for the jury to decide.
