My bitter ex is countersuing me after kicking him out of the house I solely own. He has no justification or proof of his claims. After 6 years, he placed a Lis Pendens on my property in December and we were just awarded a Lis Pendens bond, which he will not be able to acquire and the Lis Pendens... Read more »

Interesting issue, but your post is very puzzling. If your ex is suing you with counts of unjust enrichment and equitable lien, I imagine he has an attorney either representing him or advising him (if he's not an attorney himself), and if so, how can he afford that if he has no income or...

The advice that you need is obtained by scheduling a consultation with a probate attorney. If you have inheritance rights that are being disregarded, you may contest the probate case. Act quickly.
Separated from husband, he just had to get new car insurance due to his accidents. He has listed a friends address as to where my vehicle is being kept., Is that legal or should I call the insurance company?
answered on Feb 3, 2023
That is a matter of the terms of agreement with the insurance company, and those terms are contained in the written policy. If the address listed for the vehicle is not the correct address, that most likely violates the policy, subjecting the policyholder to cancellation of the policy. So... Read more »
In April of 2022 my wife took our dog to a kennel we had been to before. It was apparently under new ownership and they required a release to be signed. My wife did not read the document before signing and our dog was allegedly involved in an altercation with another dog, who was injured and... Read more »
answered on Jan 31, 2023
To determine whether a document is a legally binding contract, you must show it to an attorney. This sounds like an indemnification agreement that requires your wife to indemnify (compensate) the kennel if it's sued by the third party. A "release" by your wife would release the... Read more »

You actually raise a couple different issues here. 1. Can Court documents available on PACER lawfully be disclosed on social media? Yes, because they're public records, and the fact that the discloser is a lawyer who is not on your case is irrelevant. 2. Can someone lawfully make fun of you... Read more »

Interesting issue, which I don't have expertise in, but my somewhat-educated guess is: Regarding the issue of disclosure itself, without regard to whether it causes damage to the corporation, the answer to your question may depend on whether your corporation has a written confidentiality...

The house was only titled in his name without authorization. Is there any repercussions that the mother has to get her money back
answered on Jan 29, 2023
Mother needs to consult a lawyer who handles real estate litigation in her area to see if she has grounds for legal action, such as a lawsuit to quiet title.

You have potential claims against the arresting officer and his/her employer if your criminal case had any of the following outcomes: No Information, Nolle Prosse (or Nolle Prosequi), Dismissal by the Court, or Acquittal (not guilty verdict) by the Court. If you entered a no contest (or nolo... Read more »
Is this normal?
answered on Jan 27, 2023
I think you're asking if the disbursement amounts are normal, rather than asking if the gross settlement amount of $25K is normal. Either way, a lawyer would have to review the matter to tell you if the dollar amounts are as they should be. Regarding disbursements, GENERALLY: (A) the... Read more »

There are good and bad insurance companies, and the bad ones routinely deny valid claims and/or are extremely stingy because they figure their resulting higher profits will outweigh the losses caused by lawsuits. When an insurance company has no rational basis for its denial or stingy offer,... Read more »

answered on Jan 24, 2023
Whether your niece can take legal action on the issue of separating from the school depends on what she means by "they asked her to resign." Does it mean that they basically asked if she'd be WILLING to resign, with her having the option of saying, "No, I want to return to work... Read more »
it has been a year now. my father was only in her facility for one month. lawyer says they can not subpoena the owner because we are not in litigation. What can i do to help my lawyer retrieve the records.
answered on Jan 23, 2023
I hope you get a useful answer on this forum, but if don't, the type of lawyer you need to look for to obtain another opinion depends on the reason you wish to obtain the records. If you suspect medical malpractice, contact a lawyer specializing in that area. If you want the records for some... Read more »

They are not interested in a virtual training option and when asked for feedback, they had no complaints about me/my programs/my guidance that I’d already given them. They asked for a refund...

answered on Jan 23, 2023
Generally, if there's a no-refund contract clause, and the provider has provided contracted-for services (clearly spelled out in the contract), the no-refund clause would probably hold up in court if the provider is sued - IF the provider has not engaged in deceptive or fraudulent conduct...

So I asked this question prior and it was removed so I have no idea why. I found an abandoned vehicle in a parking lot that I frequent. The vehicle is clearly abandoned and it’s down bad. Tags are many years expired, I contacted police and they said it’s not their problem. I’d like to contact... Read more »
answered on Jan 21, 2023
Since the vehicle is on private land, that landowner possesses the vehicle. The statutory procedures for acquiring title to abandoned property (including vehicles) would help you only if the vehicle were on public land. See Florida Statutes Chapter 705 at:... Read more »

That office might be a Medicare fraudster (engaging in crimes), or this could be legitimate under the insurance policy and Medicare rules. You should first ask the office (in a friendly way) for its explanation for their billings, and if the explanation doesn't make sense, tell them so and... Read more »
I currently go to a public school so I would like to know how to applies to public schools (and possibly private if you would like to answer that as well).
answered on Jan 18, 2023
Depends which part of the Fourth you mean. Certainly probable cause is required to charge anyone with a crime, whether adult or juvenile. Searching is another matter, though, because the school is "in loco parentis" (standing in the shoes of the parents) with regard to many aspects of... Read more »

The accident occurred due to negligence on their part. I had to go to the ER and get tests done.

Both the contractor and the developer are potentially liable - not only for medical bills, but also for pain and suffering damages and any economic losses beyond medical bills. Therefore, if I were you, I'd seek a free consultation with a personal injury attorney in your area to get an... Read more »
