I told him I did not want to work with him any longer after he was very unprofessional. He sent me a "consent to withdraw" form. It seems to indicate that he initiated the break in our working relationship.

You can reword it to say "I knowingly and willingly consent to Mr. withdrawing as counsel in my case."
I am not sure of the debt being disputed, and I'd like to know exactly what this company is trying to sue for. But I'm worried that if I call them and ask for copies of the bills, will that be considered acknowledging the debt, and allow them to reset the clock? Or is it just... View More

Demand validation of the debt. That is your right, and it does not toll the statute of limitations.

Yes. Demand verification of the debt. DO NOT make any payments or offer to compromise the debt, because that could reset the clock.
When I determined the boat required a great deal of repair, I was no longer interested in the boat. I asked for my check back. The business refuses to return the $500.

Sounds like you changed your mind after completing the transaction. A local lawyer can review and advise.

a really low price. NOw they have all rec'd letters from the BMV. Should he contact an attorney or what should he do?
answered on Sep 14, 2015
I imagine the BMV is disputing the prices (so as to collect sales tax). What are they threatening to do? If they are threatening criminally fraudulent behavior, I would certainly recommend an attorney be consulted.
And billed me numerous items that were not used. Is that legal and what recourse do I have?
answered on Jul 30, 2015
More information is needed, including what discussion and agreements took place before the work was done. A local contracts, business or consumer protection lawyer can assist.

they offered me $7,000 for a house. i said $9,000. and signed the papers and the owner needs to approve the $9,000 amount and its been over 30 days now. is that offer still valid in Indiana?
answered on Jul 25, 2015
Check with a local real estate agent or lawyer. Generally speaking, n many states, under general contact law, an offer can be revoked (best to do so in writing) before it is accepted by the other party.

The contract stated I needed written statement from seller. Is there anything seller can do. All payments are on time and current.
answered on Dec 20, 2014
You need to have any terms of this land contract in writing. The verbal permission really isn't good enough. Confirm all of the terms by a writing that is acknowledged by the seller.
The repairs were recommended by an inspector. We, the sellers and buyer, agreed to have the work completed by a specific date and the work was not completed. I am the buyer. Have they violated the agreement and can I get my earnest money back?
answered on Aug 2, 2014
A lawyer will have to read the agreement of sale and other related documents before answering this question.
Filed in Marion County, where past-employer operates. Fired w/o cause while under 3 year contract, the terms of which in ANY event required payment of 90 days pay. Long story short, employer through counsel has offered reasonable settlement, but now seems to be responding slowly to my attorney for... View More
answered on Apr 25, 2014
You cannot force someone to settle a lawsuit. You say a settlement was offered. If the offer was not accepted, the lawsuit will proceed in court. If the offer was accepted, then you can no longer sue on the original claim. Instead, you would sue for breach of the settlement agreement. Despite all... View More

I have not even seen the car in over 3 years. I recently had a court date without any representation, the owner of the car did... View More
answered on Nov 2, 2013
Probably not. However, rights of the co-signer differ significantly across the states, so you will have to talk to an attorney in your area for details. Additionally, you will want to talk to that attorney about the possibility of suing the title owner of the vehicle for the outstanding amount.
answered on Jan 26, 2013
Yes. You would need to provide more facts, but generally speaking, the Indiana courts state that the mental capacity required to enter into a contract "is whether the person was able to understand in a reasonable manner the nature and effect of his act" on the date of the agreement.

If there is language in the contract allowing for the penalty on prior acts, yes.
answered on Mar 15, 2011
Yes, these agreements are often enforced. However, depending on the state you are in, obtaining monetary damages may be easier than getting an injunction.
