I have a juvenile dependency hearing on September 28th. A few weeks ago I filed a motion to strike neglect petition and a motion to vacate temporary custody.

If you are represented by an attorney, generally all motions, other filings and court appearances go through that attorney. There have times when a client files his own motions, etc. although that person is represented. But I would not think that should be grounds to strike those motions. So yes I... View More

So unfortunately Arizona law requires proof of judicial bias from sources outside of the courtroom. It makes bias nearly impossible to prove. It might make more sense to appeal the merit of the ruling instead, particularly if the judge ignored the cumulative weight of the evidence. This will still... View More

This depends on whether there was a last will and testament (or Trust that owned the business; or business documents that indicated what should happen) or not. If there was an estate plan that addressed the business, then it controls where it goes. If there was not, see below:

My former criminal law... View More

You may want to seek out a law clerk, as it is legal research you need. However, if you want your work done by an attorney, then definitely contact an attorney who is familiar with appeals.

Anything CAN happen but termination of parental rights is not an action the court takes without substantial justification. If you are merely talking about visitation rights the matter is less complicated. Unfortunately it is still far too complicated to tackle using Justia Ask-a-Lawyer. If you are... View More

You can appeal to the superior court. IF you need assistance, I recommend contacting an experienced attorney.

No. Not everyone appeals. To appeal, you must take certain steps within specific time frames. If you need assistance, I recommend contacting an experienced attorney.
I’m trying to understand some paperwork the Arizona Court of Appeals, District 1, has posted regarding a Special Action. The case is in Phoenix, AZ.

It means they are declining to hear the Petition for Special Action and whatever order was appealed will stand.

This request is a little vague. In most circumstances the Parents appeal from the decision of the lower court, thus they file their appeal, the Attorney General files an Answering (Response Brief), and the Parent then gets the last word with a Reply Brief. See Rule 106 of the Arizona Rules of... View More

Maybe it's your case? Your prior attorney should give you your medical records. You can ask the state... View More

No you cannot. There are time limits for filing an appeal. You need to at a minimum get the notice of appeal filed and consult with an attorney that does appeals asap.

Just asking this question indicates to me that you need to go speak with an appellate attorney about this.
