Q: I believe my case from 2019 is still in litigation. Nothing has happened since COVID. My lawyer is retired. Help?
In 2019, my husband's disability did not come thru one month due to their error and it caused us to be behind 1 month house payment. We owner financed a home for 11 years and the owner passed suddenly. The grandson came in and after being late less than a month, he made all kinds of false allegations, took us to court, said we were renters, and lied to the judge. I proved this to the judge eventually,. I hired a lawyer, we got a restraining order because the grandson was maliciously doing things to us to cause harm. The case is in litigation and has been sold 3 times. We had a contract. I have all the proof and conv between my lawyer. The lawyer is retired and in his 80s if he is still alive. We countersued but COVID happened and the case was on hold. I probably should find a new attorney but I need to know the status of my case. This man has caused great harm to our family. My husband had a metal breakdown and we are still, today, homeless. I need some help.
A:
If you care about the case, contact a local attorney to take over the case. Attorneys may not solicit through Justia.
You can view the filings on Casenet. I doubt that your attorney simply retired without filing a motion to withdraw. You need to take some responsibility in being proactive. Cases are not on hold due to COVID. My hunch is that a judgment has already been entered and that you are referring to the judgment having been assigned multiple times. There are businesses that buy judgments to pursue collections. Good luck.
