I spoke with my attorney today pertaining to incorrect information in my Schedules that were filed.I provided everything accurately and honestly. Most concerning, my tax return wasn't added. Then my values of property were changed. Removed a creditor that was originally on draft. Said I make... Read more »
While both of you are at fault (your signing them without making sure they were accurate and complete; your attorney neglecting to attach your tax return, and overlooking other mistakes in the schedules), the attorney is probably right by advising you that it's not important. As you have... Read more »
I was just terminated by the deacons at the church I pastor. I was in a 5 year contract. According to their bylaws, they don't have the authority to administer such a decision. Do I have grounds to sue? Does this mean I was wrongfully terminate? I was voted in by the church therefore I... Read more »
Can an attorney add his/her fees and to an amount a client offered to settle a case, increasing the settlement amount offered, then tacking on fees and cost on that increased amount?
Yes, if it is a contract, such as a charge card, which contract provides for attorney fees, they can recover those when they bring it to court. Court costs, including filing fees and the expenses of serving you with process (a "summons" and a copy of the court complaint) can also be... Read more »
to deed it back over to my name only, dissolve the LLC , and ask the court to remove the LLC from the foreclosure case. Can I do this ?
You can do the first two but the court is not likely going to remove the LLC from the case because it had an interest in the property at the time of the foreclosure and that interest needs to be foreclosed.
Lawyer has no returning any of my attempts to contact and correspond also has not been present at league proceedings
If you believe you have exhausted all efforts to contact and discuss your issues with your attorney and they are still not responding or unwilling to settle, you have the option of hiring another lawyer. However, keep in mind that if you terminate a lawyer, you may be charged for the amount of work... Read more »
After about 10 minutes a sheriff from the county came over on his own to show some decency and open the door for me so I could breathe.
This is an interesting question and you are protected by the constitution against cruel and unusual punishment. Given your fact pattern, I don’t believe that the actions of the officer rise to that level, the intervention by the deputy was appropriate and kept the situation from the escalating... Read more »
The case was litigated for a year and the Plaintiff withdrew the case without prejudice. Now the plaintiff would like to reopen the case. Is that possible? I am not sure about the timeline for permanent closure or continued litigation in a case of this style.
Assuming that the pertinent statute of limitation period has expired, re-filing the case would be time-barred.
Finding was reached. I filed a motion to dismiss on grounds of violations of my 14th amendment, not only for the illegal arrest but the Sheriffs dept, sent me a notice of my warrant, I communicated back and decided to go a more refined way and file a motion to quash Capias, it was sent back by...

Notice to the agency is required by Florida Statutes, must be filed within three years of the occurrence and the dept of financial services must also be served. You should also hire a lawyer to do this and handle this matter for a myriad of good reasons.
For general negligence, it's 4 years from the date of your accident. For malpractice, it's generally 2 years from the time the incident is discovered or should have been discovered. For wrongful death, it's also 2 years. If you have any question about whether you may be approaching... Read more »

If you no longer trust or have faith in your attorney it sounds like you should consider hiring new counsel.
My dog was given a medication at 20mg dosage when it should have been 2.5mg. As a result of the wrong dosage and previous health issues she is now having acute kidney disease and may need to be euthanized. How do I go about pursuing legal action against the animal hospital involved?
Most dogs don't have a market value of very much. Unlike people, you wouldn't be able to sue for "wrongful death". So you would sue in small claims court for the vet bill for the negligent procedure, as well as the cost of having the dog euthanized. That's about it.
It’s been eight months since I worked; I have applied for disability;
My problem is that I cannot physically return to work at this time. Please respond, thanks
That's a question your current heath care provider needs to answer.
Hello,
I am wondering if it is legal to record (copy a movie to save as .mp4) a movie with VLC that has been legally purchased (first sale) for personal (non-distributed) use. I would not like to retain the original DVD's (as I travel a lot and enjoy the convenience of a digital... Read more »
Depends.
You should consult with an attorney to address your concerns.
Marco advised I ask google, isn't this ask a lawyer. If google is the best answer, I knew lawyers are part of the problem
It's not an acronym.

You want to contact a member of the Florida Justice Assn who handles malpractice cases in your county. They give free consults. However in some states the workers comp doctor is protected from malpractice claims!
I need clarification, this site is called ask a lawyer, not ask google, what are you hiding or is that a part of the b.a.r (secret)?
Did you try google?

Of course, and you might prevail if you can prove negligence. Ask your worker comp. attorney for more information.
You can go through the FDLE website or you can hire a lawyer to do it for you.
Radio silence to even the bar
And what is your question? If this is your attorney find another attorney, who can, take over your case and determine what, if anything, to do about the missing attorney.
The only reason why we didn't push for my aunt to be transferred to another hospital was that multiple administrative members assured us that the doctor who discharged my aunt would no longer be assigned to her. 3 days later her heart stops and is in ICU, we then find out that same doctor who...

You have asked two entirely different questions:
1) If your aunt suffered damages because of how the doctor or hospital treated her, you might want to consult an attorney who practices in that area.
2) You might also want your attorney to review the contract between your family... Read more »
