See another physician to find out if the condition is serious. If it is, you need treatment, and you sue, the other physician might be a good expert witness. If you seek treatment, and you are covered by insurance, the insurance carrier may also help with an attorney.

The will can only be executed by the testator (person who is leaving his or her property by will) or executed by another person in the presence of the testator and pursuant to his or her direction. So, unless it can be proven that the testator was present and told the person signing to do so, the... View More

From what you indicate, the state attorney's office has agreed to reduce or dismiss the charges. The new court date is to present the plea agreement to the judge and, if the judge agrees, have him released.

The will should have the signatures of witnesses and of a notary public. You can ask those people what they recall. The notary may have a journal in which the details of the notarization might be recorded. If you want to dispute the will in court, your attorney may well want to take depositions... View More

Maybe they stole the dog, maybe not. But if they are not communicating with you because they want a "reward", they may be guilty of something.

Did they call you and send pictures of the dog by a cell phone? If so, you or the police can probably trace the call and identify them... View More

The previous answer correctly suggests some of the measures that might be done. But as I read the question, the new fence is not on the neighbors' property but on the property of the person who asked the question, and blocks access, presumably from the street.

If I correctly understand what you are asking, you want to know the taxes applicable to the sale of property in Illinois. You would have to ask the authorities in the area of Illinois where the farm is located. For federal income tax (capital gains), of any, that would depend upon your specific... View More

It's some sort of hearing relating to a felony prosecution. What the "miscellaneous" hearing is all about would depend upon local criminal practice.  

For a felony, you definitely need an attorney, either one appointed to represent you or one you can hire. If you... View More

Hearsay is a statement made about what someone said to a testifying witness. If your husband were to tell the court that although he was blind, you told him you had a knife and that you were going to attack him with it, there is an exception to the hearsay rule because it would be something you...

Check to see whether her bankruptcy case was dismissed or whether her debts were discharged. Check at https://pacer.login.uscourts.gov/csologin/login.jsf

If your claim was listed, and if her debts were discharged, no, you can't sue her. Her statements that "she felt ethically... View More

The question raises several interesting points:

1. What were the circumstances involving an attorney being appointed to represent you in a bankruptcy case? Normally you would retain a bankruptcy attorney, not have one "appointed" to represent you.

2. You say the... View More

You realized that you were only buying the front house but didn't know that that house was in violation? Review your paperwork to see if the seller warranted the property to not be in violation of code. You also may have a viable claim against your realtor.

No, it is not unethical to so refuse. Any professional may refuse to treat a particular patient or (for other professionals) work for a specific client. It's not a matter of urgency: the patient won't die is she doesn't see the gynecologist in the period between the referral and... View More

You indicated that each of you "dismissed" the other spouse. A party to a case cannot dismiss a case filed by another party. Do you mean that the respective courts dismissed both cases? If so, when a motion to dismiss was filed, you should have responded that you "retained [y]our... View More

You need to file an opposition to the motion for summary judgment. It should be supported by an affidavit (written statement under oath and signed by you and the notary before whom you swore under oath) setting forth the genuine issues of material fact which you believe would be issues to prevent...

The death of the mortgagee doesn't really make any difference to the holder of the mortgage. As long as the payments are made on time, there should be no problem. If the mortgage note is not paid on time, the holder of the mortgage can foreclose.

There is in general no prohibition against either if you going to the gun shop, either together or separately. It is unclear what difference you suspect it might make that he is your child or that you don't reside together. One could go shopping with a complete stranger; again, it makes no... View More

Generally, an "estate attorney" represents the personal representative. So, if the PR has been removed, the attorney's client is no longer a party to the case, assuming the former PR is not also an heir. If that assumption is incorrect, the attorney would still represent the former PR.

No. A civil case (when one person sues another person) generally requires money damages. It doesn't appear that you have suffered any damages.

And such a fact scenario doesn't suggest that a crime has been committed either, assuming you took your own shirt off.

Contact your liability insurance carrier and advise them of the situation. They probably have the obligation to retain an attorney to defend you, so when they do so your attorney should address the issue.
