If the contract was made in TN, then jurisdiction arguably lies there. But it sounds like it is a MO contract, and apparently that is where the seller would be served, so MO is alot safer. You did not mention the price involved, which makes a difference. If that photo shows a lien, then contact... Read more »

There is no "requirement" to hear motions unless they are motioned up or noticed for a hearing, which would require obtaining dates from the court and coordinating a hearing with the other side. Otherwise, the court does not know there is a motion on file.

You don't know whether or not the judge read the motion, but the judge probably did read it. The real issue you raise here is whether a hearing must be held before judgment may be entered. In my experience in Florida, and while there is no rule which requires a hearing, (unlike federal... Read more »
I dropped my counterclaim but now the opposing party isn't living up to their deal. How can I bring back my counterclaim? Do I just file it similar to what I did the 1st time or is their a special way to do it?
answered on Jun 9, 2023
If you non-suited your counterclaim without prejudice and the statute of limitations has not expired and you haven’t passed any pleading deadline set by the court in a scheduling order, you can simply file a new amended counterclaim in Texas state court.
In federal court, you most likely... Read more »

You still have the right to make an opening statement and a closing argument. Whether it is necessary depends on several factors.
If I know the judge is familiar enough with the facts of a case, I often waive opening. If a judge signals he/she understands my party’s contentions and is... Read more »
An accident report .
answered on Jun 9, 2023
Yes, it probably should have. While there is no legal requirement that you comply with such a request, it is certainly advisable for a property owner like a golf course to request that you fill out an accident report as soon as possible after an incident like this to make a record of what happened...

Hi I was assaulted by a security guard at a music venue/ bar on May 28,2023. She and a group of people pulled me out to the street then they held me down while she stomped on my face and arms. She took over restraining me then repeatedly punched me for ten minutes in my face. Cops came and I was... Read more »

Sorry to hear what happened to you. Whether you have a viable claim against the assailant's employer will depend on whether his actions and use of force were within the scope of his employment. If not, you will need to demonstrate that the music venue / bar had knowledge of his bad disposition... Read more »

I am an appellate lawyer who regularly practices before the Fifth Court of Appeals in Dallas. I charge $450 per hour.

I'm not a marketing and false advertising attorney by any means, but my first impression would be that it is pure puffery and a legal statement. There may have been a vote and you just have no idea about it. For example, maybe they asked 5 local businesses who the best e-bike company is in... Read more »
