Not lucrative enough

Hearings can usually be adjourned. I guess you could file a complaint. But more importantly, you need to hire another lawyer, if possible.
Honestly I woke up on the floor with a paralyzed leg. A big Dent in my head and wounds on my foot and back. I do not know how this happened or where all the wounds occured

Without more information, there is no way a lawyer can answer your question.
Hi there. My mother recently sustained a severe corneal abrasion after a visit to the eye doctor. There is a tool eye doctors use to measure the eyes fluid pressure (I believe it's called a tonometer), this tool has to be placed very close to the patients eye when it's used. The doctor...

Yes. You would need to hire a lawyer in New York. You did not give any information on the alleged defamation. Those types of cases can be difficult to win.

Was the former husband's claim one for loss of consortium? Was any of the settlement amount for that claim? You need to speak with the attorney who settled the claim for the details . Chances are the settlement was only on the wife's injury claim.

If the case was properly filed in 2007 then there would be no statute of limitations problem. The statute of limitations only applies to the date by which a lawsuit has to be started. A case can drag on for years.
What legal entity can he call

That would be hard to say. If there is a lawyer involved, he or she would be the best lawyer to answer any questions about the lawsuit.
she gave me details of her financial life and said to me ( from my understanding) that men (friends and Lovers) pay for her expenses. I expressed an opinion to a third party that I was not comfortable with her and her lifestyle choices. It got back to her. we spoke and she said no one pays her... View More

I don't think she would have much of a claim, let alone find a lawyer to represent her. I recently wrote an article on the subject of defamation. I have added a link. I hope you find it helpful.

I see nothing in your post that would indicate a viable medical malpractice case. What injuries did you suffer?
answered on Apr 30, 2015
You should give the lawyer as much information as possible. If the first lawyer you speak does not think there is a case worth pursuing, you should get a second, or even third, opinion.
Fell 2 years ago and broke my leg in 7 places. I had 3 surgeries and now walk with a cane

I believe the statute of limitations on personal injury cases in your state is two years. It appears your time to look into a claim has expired. You should contact a personal injury lawyer in your area for a free consultation, nevertheless.
I was driving and almost cause an accident. I wrote to the company but they simply brushed me off. I'm pissed! Do I have a potential law suit!!?????
answered on Apr 30, 2015
No. There would not be enough damages (injury) for a worthwhile lawsuit. Personal injury law compensates accident victims for what has occurred, not what almost occurred. I would follow up with the company to see if they will offer you any type of compensation.
answered on Apr 30, 2015
You can sue anyone for just about anything. More information would be needed to determine if you have a viable claim.
answered on Apr 30, 2015
You do not supply much information. You can file a complaint against the doctor with the New York State Dept. of Health. I have included a link to the form.

I am not sure what you mean by saying he "also violated me?"
Was on apartment complex property where I live. While all other sidewalks were free of ice and snow, this particular walkway was not completely clean. This happened at night in an unlit area

Yes, you may have a claim. Whether it is a claim a lawyer would think worth pursuing will depend on the nature and extent of your injury. What was your injury? Was a report of the accident made to management?
