It sounds like there is an issue of mistrust of your lawyer, who apparently did a good job of obtaining a large settlement for you. Why? Is he not adequately communicating with you regarding the reason for his/her decision to keep all funds in the trust account until the provider's lien is... Read more »

Q: Is it legal to put my assets in my girlfriends name if I anticipate being sued in the future?

This would include my biweekly paychecks, current bank account, car insurance, and vehicle. I have not been sued yet, but anticipate it happening in the next 3 years. Would it be legal for me to transfer all these assets, to get them out of my name, prior to any lawsuit being filed?

This sounds like fraudulent conveyances. I believe you can be sued for doing this with the knowledge that you are likely to be sued. I would consult an attorney who can analyze all the facts of your particular situation.

I'm sorry this happened to your children. I know it was not intentional, but that is no comfort in cases like these.

In a case involving burns to your kids' bodies, you should definitely consult with a lawyer. If a government agency is willingly negotiating with you, it's a...

Generally, in California, you cannot legally record a conversation without the other person’s consent, but such evidence may be admissible in criminal cases even if it was unlawfully recorded. The rules are confusing, so it is best to consult an attorney about what to do.

You need to retain a personal injury attorney here in Florida on contingency fee which means you pay nothing unless you win. The police officer’s opinion as to who was at fault for the accident is not dispositive of liability in a civil case.
