The vehicle is now an asset of yours. The value is fair market value not what you think its worth or what you paid or what he paid.
Under Fla. Stat. 222.25(1) you may exempt $1000 in value of a motor vehicle. You may also use any other exemptions (known as stacking) allowed to you by law.... View More
What motion or how can i respond that i do need a jury
answered on Jul 27, 2018
I second that. No right to a jury trial in mortgage foreclosure cases in virtually all instances. You would need to speak to a mortgage foreclosure defense attorney for specifics, but its almost always the case.
Roaches are so bad that I have duct taped my entire efficiency and I had to pack all my pics, ect. They are ruining everything I own.

Why dont you simply move to another unit or another extended stay facility if you dont have a contract?
65lb 3 year old dog. I was monitoring a hot spot on his leg. I started taking pictures of it and one night I tried to take a picture while giving him treats and he bit down on my arm with no warning. I believe they gave me a vicious dog without proper behavior testing.

This will depend on a number of factors, including who you were fostering dogs for. Most importantly you need to review what agreement you had to foster as it almost certainly had a liability waiver built in somewhere.
Plaintiff has listed as witness a witness defendant has supeoned.

Sure. I dont see why thin would be an issue. Its up to the judge, ultimately but Ive personally done it as a practicing litigation attorney.

As the buyer, before making any commitment whatsoever.
Even then, making any commitments contingent upon marketable title.
You should hire an attorney. You could really damage yourself by trying to save money by NOT having an attorney assist you in this.

Look to your employment or equipment agreement. It should have the timeline in there. If not, you should return any property that is not yours as soon as possible to avoid potential problems.
Am I allowed to research the document before the trial?
answered on Jul 15, 2018
In small claims there isnt necessarily a discovery deadline to produce. You will though have the opportunity to cross examine the party attempting to authenticate and introduce the document.
I was traveling to work. There was a state trooper in the right lane. Traffic was traveling below the speed limit because of him. I was in the left lane also going under the speed limit. There was one car in front of me. Because the trooper was right beside me I never got over into the right lane... View More

You have the right to contest the ticket. Follow the directions on the citation for doing so. You may wish to reach out to a "ticket clinic" (a law firm that does traffic ticket defense) for help. Many people believe its worth the cost, but that's up to you.
my ex and i bought this dog together i put cash down and he set up financing for the rest. i have paid for vet visits, medicine, food, toys, bones, treats, shampoos, vitamins, supplements, etc. basically i have been treating the dog like my son for over 4 months now without the help of my ex. my ex...

Pets are personal property in FL. You would want to show the court what you can about your care and support of the animal (financially) and then its up to the judge to decide who the owner is. Obviously, there can be only one prevailing party in the claim because there is only 1 animal.

Sounds like the proposed order (or the order entered) did not contain a sentence/provision dissolving the writ. If the writ is already dissolved, this is unlikely.

I moved to a different city and hadn’t change my address yet. I had received 15 toll violations without my knowledge until it was too late. This happened 6 years ago and I thought after 5 years my license would be active again. Well I just got pulled over because one of my back lights stopped... View More

The only realistic, meaningful way to handle the situation is to contact an attorney in your area who handles cases of toll violations and suspensions. Your case isn't that odd to be unheard of. An experienced attorney will get you your best results, the fastest way possible.

can I do any thing about them being on the property when I take ownership of the property?
answered on Jul 7, 2018
What do you mean on the property? Are they tenants in the home? Or are you referring to a boundary dispute of some sort? You may want to re post with some more specifics to get guidance.
Home They don't want the vehicle but the title was filled out at a tag office and finalized things today what are my options plus I told him if you tow the truck back to me and pay the tow fee I will give you your money back but I'm sure their insurance is towing what do I do with the... View More
answered on Jul 7, 2018
Well for now you are still the titled owner of record. You probably dont just want to let the vehicle sit or it will be towed and cost much more than you will pay to have it towed now, REGARDLESS of who agreed to what.
Your decision here should be more guided by whats convenient for you... View More

Animals are considered personal property in FL. If you were given the dog as a gift, then generally no it cannot be simply taken back.
If the disagreement is important enough, a lawsuit may be appropriate to resolve the dispute.
Money owed on a loan but never served with notice of court action or right to defend.

If a judgment is obtained against you without notice to you, there may be a valid challenge to the judgment you could make.
These arguments and cases are technical and its best to hire an attorney to assist to see that the case is presented properly.
I contracted with home improvement store for a re-roof who subbed it out to a licensed/bonded contractor per contract, that part we are okay with-ish. That contractor then subbed it out, and to an out of state contractor. Long and short of it the re-roofing process was not performed per our... View More

You can always refuse to sign.
That being said there are potential consequences to not allowing the payment to be made, even if you disagree with the quality and finality of the workmanship.

answered on Jul 4, 2018
Perhaps. There is more to it than just the damage and the ownership of the tree. A party seeking to recover would need to be able to demonstrate the branch came from a tree on your property.

I haven't recieved any paperwork or been served . I've lived in the same house for 11 years now. They haven't even tried to contact me. How can they get access to bank account when they haven't even told me.
answered on Jul 3, 2018
It sounds like a garnishment was served on your bank. This would indicate a judgment was entered against you. Judgments in FL are good for 20 years. You should reach out to an attorney familiar with wage and bank garnishment immediately to preserve any rights you have.
In FL, garnishment... View More
