It’s been three months since my personal Injury lawyer filed my insurance claim and I haven’t heard anything yet. I have left several voice messages. Every time I speak to his secretary she gives me his voice mail, but no one never return
my call. Is this normal? What should I do?... View More

Ask the secretary to schedule a time for you to speak with him or a visit.
The person who deposited the check in my account forged my signature. The loan was for $901.70.
answered on Jun 25, 2019
Yes. Why? Because you are the only person who has (or had) the $901.70. Surely you do not expect any bank on this planet to eat money just because you accepted a fraudulent check? No; they are making you eat your own money.
I haven't been able to contact, or received contact in over three weeks

Depends. Has he/she previously ignored you? If so, I would consider letting them go. If not, i would speak with his assistant and relay your concerns.
Good luck!
It was ordered by the court in front of both parties and their lawyers. That error caused the child's father to be able to move her several states away and cut off contact with the mother.

This question doesn't make sense. An "error" in an order would not allow a party to move away and cut off contact with children. There is something else going on, and you should consult with an attorney who can review the court orders and give specific advice.
I was arrested years ago for driving without a license. When i showed up at court, they sent me home without ever seeing a judge.

I would encourage you to hire a lawyer who practices law in the jurisdiction that issued the ticket. If you have a fail to appear warrant you can order a copy of your driving history online with georgia dept of driver services.
My question is, there is no arrest warrant for poss. to start with, so how can a bench warrant be issued for that charge legally?
answered on Aug 29, 2018
If the warrant was validly issued you can be arrested. Whether you are guilty of the charge is a separate inquiry. For argument's sake the sale of marijuana presumes that the person possessed the marijuana at some point to make the sale.

You need to consult with an attorney immediately if you have a dependency case pending. Allegations of abuse or neglect are not to be taken lightly, and as you know can result in your children being removed from the home.

In this case, a malpractice case is not your best option. While you should contact an experienced family law attorney in order to try to fix the case, you should try to get some fees back from the attorney with fee arbitration. Assuming the facts are as you state, you should be able to get some... View More

Medical and treatment costs come out of YOUR part. This sounds like what happened.
This is not a fee. It is a cost item.
That is why we do not take these small claims.
If they knowingly put you in harms way that resulted in being assaulted by other inmates and ended up with a broken nose,

The one fact, of your narrative, that sticks out, is that this was not your vehicle. If there was a legal basis for that pullover (e.g., the owner had an outstanding warrant, the tag was expired, no insurance on the vehicle, etc.) then the officer had the right to stop the vehicle. Once he or she... View More

The officer can pull you over for the headlight violation. The smell of marijuana is generally enough to permit a vehicle search. You should hire a lawyer.
Also then you go to his boss and company owner and nothing is done about it .Can the company also have a lawsuit filed on them also.

With very few exceptions, you can name your child whatever you like. There are plenty of names which are not identifiable by either gender - Jamie, Harper, Ashley, Jordan, etc. The name doesn't have to conform to a particular gender.
