Unfortunately, bar counsel has the sole discretion whether to pursue a grievance against an attorney. You cannot appeal their decision.

All attorneys set their own fees. You would need to inquire to different lawyers what their fees would be. You should be aware that an appeal (Petition for Judicial Review) is on the record and the decision will be affirmed if there was substantial evidence to support the decision.

It depends on the fee agreement and other facts. Generally, an attorney hiring and using associated attorneys is acceptable.

There is no special instruction for that, and the general instructions on intent are sufficient. What you are arguing is based on the evidence which I assume was presented at trial and was therefore argued on your behalf by your lawyer as a basis to raise a reasonable doubt as to your ability to...

The brief should be "spiral bound" along the left margin. Staples are not accepted. Any quality copy center or brief printer should be able to help you. And if you are the appellant--the brief cover must be yellow, as well as the record extract. The brief should be printed on ONLY one... View More

That's 4 years ago now. Statute of limitations for filing a claim for civil abuse of process is 3 years from the date the claim arose, which is the date she filed the false petition or the date it was finally adjudicated in your favor, as is any other civil claim you might come up with to sue...

You would use a general motion form. You should include any information as to why you did not show up in court, as well as any defense that you might have raised in the contract claim (i.e you didn't owe the money, you paid it already, etc.)

As far as I am aware, the stay and bond "freezes" the case. No rent is due during the stay, the bond should cover that.

You do not and cannot re-file the suit. The case goes back to the circuit court to address whatever the CSA directed the circuit court to do. Whether that means a retrial of the entire case, or to address a particular issue or determination, depends on what the order for remand says.

He may be seeking to reduce his sentence, or where he is serving the sentence (like a prerelease work facility) but what exactly he is seeking to modify can only be known by reading the motion. It is impossible to guess when or whether a judge would reconsider the sentence imposed after already... View More

From the date the judge reinstated the conviction, you have 30 days to appeal and 90 days to file a motion to modify your sentence.

Impossible to ascertain from your post what, if any, basis there would be to change the result after 5 years, a (completed?) appeal, and unknown circumstances and relevance of the missing day's transcript. A lawyer would have to review the entire case file, talk to trial and appellate counsel... View More

What's valid is your signature under the acknowledgement paragraph that states you have fully read and understand all the rights afforded to you at trial, and that you are knowingly and voluntarily waiving those rights by entering the plea of guilty. What is also valid is your standing silent... View More

Habeas Corpus relief does not guarantee that there will be trial transcripts to support whatever it is you are arguing that meets the basis for receiving such an extraordinary remedy. Defects in guilty pleas are generally raised by post plea/sentence motions to vacate or reconsider, or by appeal,... View More

Assuming that the case was litigated in district court, an appeal could be taken to the circuit court within 30 days. However, it is not clear from the question if the time to file an appeal from the original judgment (as opposed to the decision in the contempt/show cause hearing) has passed.... View More

Either party who is dissatisfied with the results in the trial court can appeal. If the case was in the District Court, the appeal goes to the Circuit Court.

You have 30 days to file an appeal in a civil case to the Circuit Court. The only appeals that result in a de novo trial are small claims proceedings (claims filed requesting $5,000 or less in District Court), or petitions for peace orders, or domestic violence petitions. Civil claims seeking more... View More

You'll need to check the requirements of the licensing authority. They may or may not be concerned as to whether or not an applicant has been convicted of a crime of violence. They may be more concerned with convictions relating to honesty and propensity to tell the truth. If this is a crime... View More

No, in my experience arbitrators do not usually become involved in the appeal process. But what is your question directed to, concerning the appeal process or your case?
