The first logical step here would be to submit a demand letter to the dog owner to demand payment of the vet bills by a certain date, failing which you will take legal action. Such a letter will probably have more impact if done by an attorney. If there is neither any witness nor video, though,... View More

Your motion is probably not the type of motion that stops the clock for the appeal window, BUT whenever there's a question, "In my court case, is the clock running for me to ____?" or "What is my deadline to ____?", that's an issue that you should NOT rely on online... View More

As there is no bodily injury, I assume you are asking if you can sue the other driver for physical damage to your vehicle. Of course you can, and if someone else owns the vehicle, you can sue that owner as well. HOWEVER, the normal first step in this situation is to determine if the other driver... View More

Sorry to hear about your ordeal. Your inquiry is unclear regarding the phrase, "arrested me without me knowing". If you're arrested, you'd know it. You would be handcuffed, placed in a patrol vehicle, and taken to a facility for booking. Not sure if you mean you were instead... View More

Before getting to your question about liability, how about reporting it to your local health department? I would think those folks would be interested, regardless of licensing issues. And if the health dept. takes action, local media may be interested as well. Turning to the liability question,... View More

The language used indicates that this is very likely a scam, but you cannot get a reliable answer from an online forum as to whether someone contacting you is "real" or not. Since the person says he/she "just emailed your bank", you can contact your bank to inquire about it.... View More

If you're talking about theft, you have the option of calling the police. However, if your ex would give them a story contrary to yours about who owns what, the police would likely say it's a civil matter and leave him alone. To have a good set-up for taking action in the civil court... View More

Do you mean, "Can they file a case against me?" or instead, "Can they prove their case in court?" If the former, yes, anyone can file suit whether they have a strong case, weak case, or even a frivolous case. For any of those categories, a lawyer can advise how the matter... View More

One option is to file a motion for extension of time to serve, to extend the 120-day deadline, attaching to the motion the server's affidavits. You likely would need to set that (or any other motion) for hearing. Your other options depend on what type of case it is and whether the defendant... View More

IF the club contract is a legally valid contract providing for automatic renewal (which it may or may not be), then you had the responsibility to timely cancel to avoid automatic renewal. Whether you have liability to you friend depends on the terms of agreement with your friend. If you had an... View More

Schedule a consultation with a lawyer in your area handling breach of contract matters. The lawyer can start with a demand letter, then file suit if necessary. You didn't say when the loan re-payment was due. You probably have a limit of 5 years from that due date to file suit. If the... View More

Sorry to hear about your ordeal. There's no such thing as a "3-4 years statute of limitations" for any kind of claim. Was your former lawyer guessing that the limitations period would be somewhere between 3 and 4 years, being not sure if it was 3 or 4? The limitations period for a... View More

It is unclear why you are so worried when, according to you, you have a litigation lawyer at no cost to you and the plaintiff is suing you for an amount that your insurance would cover 100%. If that's really the case, your assets and income shouldn't be at risk - but you must consult... View More

You always have a right to fire your lawyer, but there likely is a big downside for doing so in your situation. See your retainer agreement. It probably indicates that if you terminate the representation any time after the first 3 business days, you are obligated to the firm for fees incurred,... View More

The way for you to get the help you need is to promptly schedule a consultation with a lawyer in your area. You said you are "charged", which I assume means a criminal charge. If so, seek a criminal defense attorney. You can click on the Find a Lawyer tab at the top of this page and... View More

You didn't ask a question. Is your question, "How does my fiancé find a criminal defense attorney?" One way is by using the Find a Lawyer tab at the top of this page. Another way is by contacting the Florida Bar Lawyer Referral Service. Another is by simply doing an online... View More

By "civil case ... in 2017", I'm guessing you mean a 2017 incident, not a lawsuit filed in 2017. There is not a category of attorneys for "old incident cases". Search the same way you would for any lawyer in that area of law, including contacting the Fla. Bar Lawyer... View More

This is simply a matter of basic contract principles. Your friend apparently agreed to the invasion of privacy by signing without reading it first. It is legally assumed that a contracting party has read and understood what he/she has signed. I often get calls from people who say, "But I... View More

If your attorney accepts a settlement offer without your consent, your first move should be to determine if the settlement can be revoked, either with the opposing party's consent or instead via a motion to the Court. First speak to your attorney who's been representing you in the case... View More

The answer depends on whether the footage is officially public record at this time, as well as on what you mean by "reporting misconduct". Generally, any official public records may be shared on social media. However, if you were to edit/compile the footage in a way that is not exactly... View More
