Birmingham, AL asked in Civil Litigation, Real Estate Law and Small Claims for Alabama

Q: My mortgage holder is having me evicted. I have a lease purchase contract. I never violated it.

He did not serve me properly. He filed in the wrong court. Yet the judge took it anyways. What do I do now? This shouldn't of been in Civil court at all. The judge in the appeal court never heard any of my testimony. Nor looked at any of my documents. I'm not sure if my attorney even submitted any evidence at all. What is my next step? I know my timeline is crucial here.

A: If you are currently represented by your original lawyer, you must seek advice from that person. There may be answers in response to your concerns and an appropriate course of action. If you seek new counsel, much more information is necessary. A new lawyer will need to review all documents and court records. This question cannot be answered on a q&a forum. I wish you the best.
