If you have filed bankruptcy, the automatic stay is triggered and stays all proceedings. No need to do anything today, but take a copy of your bankruptcy filing and tell everyone tomorrow at the 7/30 Hearing that you have filed. That should stop the proceedings. You really need an experienced... View More

You would have to show they knew the other kid had lice. But yes, you could make a claim against them. However they may not be happy to have your youth in that daycare, so make alternate daycare plans. Contact a member of the Ga.Trial Lawyers Assn for your county--they give free consults.
Got ticket for “in park after closing.” I want to know about how much I’ll have to pay (or if I can get it dismissed or something) and if this is a “serious” offense that would mess up jobs and criminal background checks and whatnot. All help is appreciated, Thank You.

You need to obtain a copy of the order and take it to an attorney to discuss. Such an arrangement would be unusual, and the court order needs to do a good job describing it for you to have a potential action.

If you haven't been named the administrator/executor of the estate then you have no obligation to the estate. That said, you can probate the estate even if the son won't sign. You just need to get him served with the papers by sheriff or private process server. I'd encourage you... View More

No punitives. Cost of repair. Send it to the guy if he was a contractor and whoever employed him. If a city or borough employee send it to them and comply with the "municipal claims" act. Then if they deny, go to small claims.
Optionally, have the car insurance cover and let them... View More

Your insurance company should be the one paying, if this was a theft case. Their job is to make you whole, minus any deductible.
Very few civil litigation lawyers would be wiling to go after the tow people or police, so don't think you will find someone for that job.

You should call the District Attorney, about possible Fraud charges against the owner. He took your money, already knowing that he was not able to pay the bank. Cannot assist you to stay in the property, if he no longer is the owner.
It was in Georgia and also would that go under vandalization or what.

As with most criminal charges, the law is written like a large blanket, far too large to allow any misconduct to escape being covered. The word "structure" will be a key part of this case, and how that may be shown to have been part of a building or porch.

Both can be in trouble. Both need SEPARATE attorneys. Why? Because the prosecutor will likely offer one a deal to help the State prosecute the other. Same criminal lawyer cannot represent both.
