If you have been denied disability compensation, it may be time to get a lawyer involved.
Will the matter and hearing take place in the same local court. Can not afford to pay lawyer fees to fight this appeal. What are my chances of the judges decision holding up through the appeal
answered on Apr 26, 2019
Assuming you were in District Justice Court, the appeal means basically you go to arbitration. You have to file another complaint in the Court of Common Pleas in your County, and mail a copy to the person on the other side, and file an entry of pro se appearance . Then it gets put on a track for... View More

Yes and no. There are very specific procedures for appeals to the Superior Court of Pennsylvania, and she must follow them to get any appellate relief at all. You too must correctly follow all of the appellate procedures.

My husband and I have had foster daughter for over three years (4mths to present). Both us and grandmother petitioned for adoption. After hearings for both, judge dismissed their petition and granted ours. Now they have appealed. What are chances of us losing her to them?
answered on Dec 16, 2018
Zero idea, because I know zero about your case -- either substantively or procedurally -- and neither does any other attorney here on Justia. If you have an attorney that assisted you through the adoption process, however, you should pose your question to him/her. If you don't have an... View More

If you do it quickly (typically 10 days after the trial court order), you could ask the trial court to reconsider its order. If you did not receive notice, file for reconsideration and say that.
Otherwise, you have 30 days after the order to file an appeal to the Superior Court of... View More

You haven't said why or what grounds. First get the appeal in before the deadline--you can always add to it.

You need to address your issue with a New Jersey attorney, since New Jersey law is at play here. Try again in the New Jersey section.
Best of luck to you.
conviction in PA, how can someone use that decision to reverse a conviction in PA?
answered on Jul 24, 2018
9th Circuit rulings aren't binding on the Third Circuit, but it sounds like you were convicted so you are looking at Superior Court of 3rd Circuit. Why not discuss it with whoever represented you in the criminal case?

Check your lease. You haven't said what breed of dog he is. If he is strong enough to pull a stake out of the ground then chances are no court will side with you.

You should consult with an attorney certified as a specialist in workers compensation law. The attorney can see what has been filed and determine what the situation might be. There would be no charge for an initial consultation.

Unfortunately, it's impossible to answer your question without knowing all of the facts of your daughter's case. Presumably it's a dependency case, with Child & Youth involved? Troubling perhaps that her attorney agreed to continue the kids in placement for another 30 days if... View More

No, criminal appeals are all done through e-filing, and they consist mostly of writing briefs to make arguments based on the record. Sometimes there are oral arguments that could require travel, but many appeals do not involve oral argument. You can hire any attorney who is licensed in the... View More

Hope you told your credit card company the amount is in dispute. Did you have witnesses? Find out what they are claiming are the damages--if it's things like undercarriage likely you didn't cause them.

I believe you have to file the complaint as I read your facts. You need to write a complaint. Suggest you contact the local bar association to see if an attorney will help you. If not, go to your county law library, and look in Dunlap & Hanna's forms for a complaint related to your... View More

Whether or not an individual is an employee or a subcontractor is a factual determination that depends on a number of things including the industry. If your business is involved in construction, different rules apply. The primary factor is control. Who sets the schedule. Who assigns the work.... View More

I assume you're posting the rest of your question later? I can tell you that 50/50 custody is calcluated by overnights so, if your BF doesn't have the children overnight for 7 nights out of every 14, he doesn't have 50/50 custody, no matter how many days he has them without sleeping... View More

I am intervenor siding with appellant. I am pro se. They gave me order on when to file brief. I followed order and all other r.a.p. I think they didnt like the content because judge was disqualified but refused to recuse. They are playing games with me, I know.
answered on Nov 3, 2017
You can ask them to reconsider but I wouldn't hold my breath. Usually their orders will state a reason. You are an intervenor so your rights are limited.
