I paid an attorney to handle this case. He obtained the judgement then told me that he couldn’t find her, even though she had attempted to see him. He admitted this to me, then later changed his story.
After I received the judgement, he told me that I was on my own as far as collection.... Read more »
I have a suspicion that you will not like my advice, but here it is anyway:
1. There are many very experienced lawyers in Florida who know how to enforce judgments.
2. Most of them work on a contingency basis, usually taking 40% of the net proceeds received (after costs are... Read more »
From a Securities firm who wrongly allowed TOD beneficiaries to be removed and the account went to probate
Mr. Thorgaard is correct.
However, your question compels me to ask whether or not you have consulted an experienced securities lawyer to review the settlement offer itself? If not you might be making a big mistake. An experienced security lawyer can get you more money if they are good.
I have been in the home 8 years and have been paying $85 a month for lawn maintenance and as well have paid for many repairs as Ac and screen enclosure damaged due to past hurricane and the landlord was well aware of it and told me a few times his Repair man will be free to do repairs up to two...

You should present you claims to the court when they serve you in the eviction proceeding.
I live in apartment and I am unable to use my screened porch and Closet on porch for 4 years now. The porch beam that is supporting the 2nd floor porch is rotten and collasping. Due to the rotting beam, water is leaking into storage closet and porch causing mold, smelling and odor. When I go out... Read more »
While I cannot advise you what to do or advise what might happen if you do break your lease I will tell you that most cities and counties in Florida have great health departments that tend to situations exactly like this. Give yours a call.
Now I have to stay longer than expected. If we made an agreement on payments to pay him back, could he have me arrested of I fail to make payments on time?
I am very sure you know the answer to this question; and I certainly hope you did not steal the trailer you sold because there might be a felony warrant out waiting for you to come back to Florida as I write this response. (Note: If you read my clear warning as an excuse not to return to Florida,... Read more »
It was a church when I purchased it and it still has been until this very day I don't know what to do, a member on the Halifax county board owns the property right beside it and he was interested in buying my church however I didn't want to sell it seems to me as a manipulative way to...

Every city and county and state I have ever heard of requires churches and nonprofit businesses to register and apply for tax exemptions.
my landlord contacted me stating he has someone coming today for a home inspection, got a knock on the door and it wasn't a inspection at all, it was a woman that was told to come view the home for a potential sale.

If you have a written lease this subject will be presented somewhere in it. At best all you can do is restrict the number of visitors, the times when they can visit and requiring much more lead time than they just gave you.
Thank you for the response. Back taxes aren’t an issue. I was stating that there were taxes owed. I’m just trying to find out if I have a leg to stand on here. The person I initially rented from is no longer the owner and the current owner is dead with no heirs that I’m aware of.
1. Sorry, but no, you have no LEGAL leg to stand on. Yet.
2. On the other hand you do not have to move at the end of September; nor do you have to keep paying rent to the person who told you to leave--because they do not own the place; the real owner does.
3. So who's the... Read more »
social security number in their data base in order to cash a check less than $500. drawn from their bank. They refuse to cash the check unless I created a profile.

IMO, you have four choices here: (1) Agree to do what the bank wants (and have no more problems); (2) open an account at the bank and have no further problems; (3) take your checks to a check-cashing company in your area (and have big problems if any check bounces); or (4) find a friend who will...

There is nothing you can do except continue trying to contact him.
A client has decided to stop paying $2M in debt for services rendered. The company is taking legal action but ability to repay the LoC is impacted.
IMO, there is no experienced Florida banking lawyer--including me--who sees this question who would stick out their neck to answer it. Why? Because six-figure financial business matters are far too important to the parties for you to be asking about it here. If you are worried about impact on you... Read more »
I have the following in the lease:
"This lease agreement is not constructed to be automatically renewed at the end of the term for which drawn, however the intent to renew this agreement by the Tenant(s) will be assumed. All parties will need to sign a new agreement in order to... Read more »
Sounds really clear to me: Unless BOTH parties sign a NEW lease the existing lease dies at the end of its term.
My wife's little sister came to see us. After staying a little over a week, my wife flew out Saturday to take her back. This time she took our kids too so that they can see their grandma. She said they have tickets to come back Monday so my daughter only misses one day of school and rhwy can... Read more »
The answer you received from Mr. Thorgaard is correct.
I write merely to suggest turning this situation around and considering filing for divorce yourself, before the mother of your children does. The Court might not have jurisdiction over the children if she stays gone too long.
Yes, everything you say is correct; so what is your legal question?
The bank manager should take this problem up with their supervisor.
If a contract says that a buyer has to "secure financing" by X date what is the actual interpretation of that? Do they need to be able to close the loan and sale or just show they have applied for a loan or just a pre-approval?
It means the borrower has to be approved for financing by a certain date or else the contract can be cancelled by the seller.
Regardless of why the landlord is refusing to allow your elderly mother to move in to your apartment with you, I am certain you will have to admit that you are changing a material term in the agreement: i.e., the number of occupants.
Written leases are written for a reason: to eliminate... Read more »

Preparing to litigate the accuracy of a large number of dollar amounts against a CPA or an accountant or bookkeeper is not a task for untrained pro se litigants; nor is this kind of litigation designed for the faint hearted.

I've received a letter from the Clerk of Courts over a month ago stating arrears are paid in full. Therefore the case is closed with the Dept. if Revenue. I've looked up the case order online the case status is consent judgement not closed!
A "Consent Judgment" means exactly that: The Court has entered a judgment that has been consented to by all the parties.
So it sounds to me like you probably agreed to pay all the back child support you owed in return for DOR dismissing their administrative case.
