First, check with the Register of Deeds in your county to see whether a lien has been filed against your home. A great deal turns on whether you have a mortgage, as the mortgagee has a lien superior to anything the credit card company may have. If so, check the balance due on the mortgage against...

I owe a credit card Co. a lot, and they got a judgment. I recently received a court email saying that they have filed a writ of execution.
What exactly does that mean?
answered on Mar 15, 2023
A writ of execution is a formal document issued by a court that authorizes a sheriff to levy upon the property of a judgment debtor. RSA 527:12 (1997) (amended 2000); 5 R. Wiebusch, New Hampshire Practice, Civil Practice and Procedure § 60.02, at 474 (1998).

It sounds like you're doing business in a state, other than NH as well as NH. You can do that but I suggest you hire an attorney to review the full picture so a suitable recommendation can be made.

Doing Business As or d/b/a is akin to a Trade Name. So, you could be a NH, LLC d/b/a "Jack Sparrow Goods" or whatever name you have. If you're doing business in another state, there are several important things to consider such as registration in each state, taxes, consumer... Read more »

Ordinarily this issue would be covered in a written contract but if you don't have one, billing 30 days or so after the job does not appear unreasonable at all. I'm unsure if there are any special circumstances such as a closing date, etc. Feel free to contact me if you have any... Read more »

In 1964 my great grandmother was shot and killed by a man who was having a psychotic episode that included hallucinations. He had been released from a mental hospital just a few days before. This happened in New Hampshire. Can the hospital be held liable for prematurely releasing him?
answered on Jan 21, 2023
Unfortunately, the short answer is no. That is because of the statute of limitations. In other words, it's too late to bring a case as this happened almost 60 years ago.
If you were within the statute of limitations, this would have been a case worth investigating. If the hospital... Read more »

A suit can be brought in state district or superior court given the $20,000 amount. There could be other factors, such as whether a federal question is involved but I doubt it given your description.
How would I go about doing that?
answered on Dec 19, 2022
You can fire any attorney. You would need to notify your lawyer and inform them you are unsatisfied with service and would like them to withdraw. If you have hired another lawyer the newly hired lawyer can contact the existing lawyer. It is routine that people are unhappy with their lawyer for... Read more »
If the warrant is for a FTA out of PA & they pick u up for that & hold you in jail until you go to court for an extradition hearing what can someone expect to happen?
answered on Dec 6, 2022
It depends on the warrant. The Extradition Clause in the US Constitution requires states, upon demand of another state, to deliver a fugitive from justice who has committed a "treason, felony or other crime" to the state from which the fugitive has fled. The state that issued the... Read more »

In New Hampshire, if the judge is not a full time judge (i.e. a per diem judge), he or she may practice law and can file lawsuits on behalf of a client. The rules would require the judge not to practice in the division of the court that he or she serves in. Therefore, for example, a per diem or... Read more »

A New Hampshire attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. I can only speak for the insurance law-based attributes of your question, not the divorce-related ones. But as a general matter, courts do not usually have the power to change insurance policies. If the... Read more »

A New Hampshire attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. Do you or another dental office need the actual films? If not, you could ask about less expensive formats of the radiographs. Good luck

It depends. Each contract and situation will need to be evaluated on its own. Were you personally damaged by this contractor? In order to bring an action against someone, you would have to have standing (i.e. a party to the contract). Please feel free to contact me to discuss.

Hi there. I would need a lot more information and a better understanding of your situation to determine the answer to your question. Please feel free to contact me to discuss.
We bought a house four years ago. As of recent, we have discovered serious issues with the well. We called the same plumber the previous owner used. He disclosed to us that the previous owner was aware of issues with the well since 2006. Nothing was disclosed to us at closing or at all. Can we sue?
answered on Sep 30, 2022
The short answer is, maybe. The purchase agreements, disclosure documents and other related documents would need to be reviewed to determine how best to proceed. Often time, the contract will require mediation first. A real estate attorney would be able to help you review these documents and... Read more »

The federal exemptions allow you an exemption in that equity value of approx. $25,000. The value of the total is also usually reduced by about ten percent of... Read more »
