First, I am not a VA attorney. That said, I do not think you have a final judgment, yet. I assume that you were found "guilty" of civil contempt, and I assume that was for not paying child support. Unless a finding of civil contempt is separately appealable (by VA statute or rule) that is... View More

If your case was not properly presented because of your trial attorney's missteps and perhaps other related issues, that could be some of your issues on appeal. That is, among your claims for relief before the appellate court, is to have your case remanded to the trial court to hear your side.... View More

First, I am not a MA lawyer. And second, was there a final judgment? What was the case about? Without those details, I cannot answer your question. But I am not sure the DCF [order/ ruling] can be appealed? And to where? The trial court or some other appellate court...….

With only the facts as stated in your question, I would "yes" for an appeal.

Ordinarily, any appeal does not stay the judgment of the lower court, if this is what you're asking.

The appellate court usually then issues a schedule of briefing deadlines. But please check your appellate rules for the correct briefing schedule. If you get a briefing schedule, be sure to follow it. If you are the appellant, serious consequences can result if your brief is not filed on or before... View More

Yes.

I don't think so, I think the early release is still active. But I don't know about the details of the case besides your question.

It depends. If the appellate court sent the case back with instructions to do such-and-so, and the lower court did not follow those instructions, I would say yes.

First, I am not a California lawyer. But I would file that motion, or a similar motion, in the appellate court, which would call attention to your problem. And if you plan on filing a reply brief, then attach the trial court's modified statement in that brief, and in the reply brief... View More

I fail to see the difficulty. If the settlement offer is acceptable to you, then take it. If not, attend the settlement meeting and see what you can get that is more attractive to you...

Unless I'm missing something, your question does not have the details I would need to give a complete answer.

First, I am not an Arizona lawyer. If the AZ appellate rules allow, perhaps you can file a motion for reconsideration to the AZ Supreme Court, asking them to take the case. Aside from that, you have one avenue for appeal left: a writ of certiorari to the US Supreme Court (very expensive and a whole... View More

I don't see why not. You are not representing him, you are not a lawyer, you're just assisting in a pro se filing. Unless there's an appellate rule prohibiting this (and I haven't reviewed the PA appellate rules), there should be no problem. Unless I'm missing something...

First of all, I am not an Arizona lawyer. However, you articulated your issues on appeal in your message. If the trial court's decision and final judgment are within the time frame for an appeal (30 days is the general rule, but your state may have different rules about that), then go ahead... View More

First of all, I am not a California attorney. But I would think that the Court of Appeals should follow its decision, perhaps you should file a motion with the Court of Appeals stating that its decision has been on hold for nearly six months, and it's time to enforce it: the CDCR should change...

If there was no motion at trial for separate trials (and that motion was denied), I don't see that a trial with co-defendants is a sole grounds for an appeal.

First if you and your ex wife each have attorneys, it usually is the rule to communicate to her attorney and not directly. Second, Double Jeopardy is a criminal principle and doesn't apply here.

I do not have the information about the case to give a definitive answer. However, a judge can after a review of all the evidence and testimony decide that parent (biological or not) is the de facto custodian of a child. Since the court order was in 2017, the appeal period has passed, although an... View More

I sounds like that you should be prepared to file an appeal. There are very good lawyers in Washington DC who handle appeals on unemployment benefits. Talk to any one of them, before the 21 days is up.

It depends on if the arbitration agreement or arbitration procedure provides for any appeal, most do not. If any appeal is to be filed, I would say New Mexico trial court, but I have no experience with NM arbitration rules.
