She's violating the law, likely subjecting her to a potential fine if caught. If she uses her old address for voting purposes and now lives in a different precinct, she may even be subject to a potential criminal charge. If you'd like to try forceful persuasion, you can hire a lawyer to... View More

Sorry to hear about your terrible ordeal. Your description seems to indicate that all wrongdoing occurred a few decades ago.

Once an IA investigation is over (and there's no pending criminal case against the officer), the entire IA file (not just the final report) is public record, a copy of which can be obtained by making a public records request to the police dept.

Sorry to hear about your ordeal. It is possible to file a motion to withdraw a plea due to the plea being involuntary because of mental incompetence.

For the real estate transaction, hire a real estate lawyer. If you still need to set up your business entity for the farm, hire a lawyer handling business formation. You might be able to find a lawyer/law firm that does both. Another issue is whether your land is already zoned for everything you... View More

You likely have a claim for money damages, but the State of Fla. probably is not your potential defendant. The potential defendants would be the individual law enforcement officer(s) who committed a fraud on the Court and,in limited circumstances, the entity employing the officer(s). Generally,...

I'm assuming you had your lease/sale arrangement in writing and signed by the couple, that you have demanded return of your horse in writing, and the couple has either refused to return her or has completely disregarded your demand.
