A South Carolina attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. It isn't fully clear what you mean by lawsuit being stolen, but one possibility that comes to mind is that someone stole your identity and pursued a lawsuit (or a pending lawsuit you had already commenced)...

How do we go about this legally and without him hurting her? She's scared when she tells him to leave that he's going to get angry and try to hurt her. The last time she called the police on him, he told the police they were married and made it seem like she had mental issues, which she... Read more »
Hello.
We are sorry to hear about these problems that your mother is having. No one should ever feel unsafe in their home.
The first thing that you should do is go down to your County Family Court, and speak to the Clerk of Court there. Tell them that you need an emergency... Read more »
A month after moving in my apartment, there was a faulty leak caused by building contractors, causing cracks through my kitchen ceiling, almost caving in on us and resulted in a widespread of mold. This year again over 14,000 count of toxic black mold has returned. I've done everything... Read more »
A South Carolina attorney could answer best, but your question remains open for two weeks. I'm sorry for your heartbreaking and stressful situation. Unfortunately, as you've already learned on your own, mold cases can be difficult to find representation for. Many injury law firms do not... Read more »
Generally speaking, if both parties signed it and there is other evidence available of when it was signed and returned (emails, metadata, etc.) it is likely valid for 12 months from the date of signing. Alternatively, if there is a date block on the signature line, that date may be used. Lease and... Read more »

How did the woman come to obtain the birds?
Without knowing this, specifically whether you entrusted her with the birds and she refused to return them, whether she broke in to somewhere and took them without your permission or knowledge, etc., it’s impossible to examine whether there is a... Read more »
This loan was taken out in 2008 through BOA and no payment was even made because it was fraudulent. Now in 2020 this collection agency is suing. E despite the SOL being 3 years and from the evidence I have from the CFPB (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau) says that the SOL begins upon the first... Read more »
Don't know about the SOL in South Carolina; but in Florida the SOL for this kind of debt is either 4 or 5 years, depending upon certain circumstances.
Rather than spending time asking lawyers here on Justia you should spend your time gathering all the evidence needed to show (1) the... Read more »
Completed two repairs on clients home. He has never paid for either and now is trying to sue me in civil court??
More information is needed, such as if the suit is based on valid damages resulting from a breach. One option is to try to arrange a quick consult with a South Carolina attorney who handles contract matters to review the papers. Good luck

Agree months ago, the victims family members wrote The Solicitors Office, The Clerk of Court, and The Department of Probation, Parole, And Pardon Services asking them to please release do to mercy /clemecy. Other members of The community also wrote The Department. No answer or response has been... Read more »
To be blunt, they do not have to answer the letters or open any investigation into a closed case for the reasons given. A judge and jury heard the case in 1995 and a decision was made. Reducing a sentence on the grounds that the interested parties now want mercy is not going to be possible without... Read more »
My Brother was convicted of murder in 1995. Since then, the victim's family has written the judge and solicitors office to have his sentence reduced or pardoned. Can or do the victim's family have this authority since the solicitor is their attorney? Letter of forgiveness was sent in to... Read more »
As a former state prosecutor I have never heard of a sentence reduction based on the request of the victim through the court system. Your best bet would be for the victim to contact the department of probation parol and pardons to request a pardon from the governor.
Do I have any options? I lost access to bank account and apartment! This was sudden and unexpected!
I'm sorry for your loss. A probate attorney would be in the best position to assess the situation. You could contact one of the attorneys on this site, contact an attorney on your own, or repost with the categories Probate/Estate Planning added. Good luck

Purchase was from private individual.
A South Carolina attorney could advise you in the best manner, but your question remains open for two weeks. But as a general matter in most any jurisdiction, the recourses would be limited. It's a private sale sealed over a handshake, no warranties, and no contract. Don't beat yourself... Read more »
I was in an accident on 8/8/19 but I wasn't injured. The FR 10 shows the other party for being at fault. On the TR 310 form the other party admits to making a right turn on red while I had the left green protected area. On 8/15/19 I write the owner of the vehicle. I explained to the other... Read more »
You may but they won't care. Save it if you go to court.
The judge order the defendant. To move me the defendant never moved me but they issued a rule to vacate but the judge nervous issued a form four but later Dismissed the case with prejudice after he granted negligence in court.
No.Judicial immunity
My attorney had me in emotional distress at our probate mediation, while he had me mentally under pressure after telling me that we were signing PR over to the plaintiff or its 5 to 10 years in prison he asked me to sign a paper stating my presence at mediation. It took me a minute but I was trying... Read more »
I am sure most if not all experienced lawyers who read all the horrible facts you alleged and your extremely unusual question will have the same immediate response as I did: This is impossible.
On the other hand, if everything you say is 100% true your best option is to report your lawyer... Read more »
County. An Execution against Property has been received in this office for service".

It appears that you are being notified of a Levy of Execution against your Property. This may or may not have had an earlier attached Lien. Somebody appears to have already got a Judgment against you and are now trying to collect by grabbing your Property whether it has a Lien on it or not. The... Read more »

A judgment is a finding by a court that you owe money to someone. If you have assets, the sheriff can levy against the assets to collect the judgment. Based on what you are saying about assets and income, you probably qualify for legal aid.
The sheriff will ask you to pay the judgment,... Read more »
As a South Carolina attorney I cannot speak to the law in Pennsylvania.

Not sure what you're asking here.

Unfortunately, either your question lacks the required information or the Rule to Show Cause is grossly inadequate. A Rule to Show Cause is an Order to Show why you did or did not do something. The Rule to Show Cause should tell you what the Court is asking of you specifically. A Rule to Show... Read more »
Agreement with debt collector was made Aug 2016. They put a judgement/lien against my home Nov 2016. Can they legally do that after I was paying and still paying 18 months later? They take it out of my account automatically. I looked on the county clerk website and it states there was an ADR listed... Read more »
The answer is, it depends. The creditor may have already had the judgment recorded when you entered into an agreement to pay them. You may not have had as a part of the settlement an agreement that no judgment would be entered against you. (An attorney may have saved you from this issue.)... Read more »
