I would like more information on how to move forward in building a legal case against two doctors for malpractice and negelct. Acknowledged health discrepancies without disclosure and resulting in long term health issues.

He also had me work for rent for 5 years and never gave me any rent paid receipts. We had a dispute about him not giving me proof of income nor rent paid receipts and he forced my family onto the street with no hope of securing housing without the proofs I need.

Wants me to replace her glasses for $185.
Her husband is the one who sent me the message. And states if I don't contact him by 5pm he's going to have to file a lawsuit
I haven't admitted to anything nor have I contacted him back

For $185!? He's going to spend more than that filing a law suit.
How you move about this depends on how much you value the relationship with your friend. Although it sounds like maybe her husband is more of a problem here.

Sue them for what? If the house was sold, you have no insurable interest in the property, even if you are still paying premiums on it. You would essentially double-dip if you already received the sale proceeds, and now you were to receive the insurance payout. That's like insuring your... View More

Police and animal control were called that day. Report was filed, and they stated the dog was not at fault because he was provoked and in a confined area on our property. She continues to threaten getting a lawyer unless we pay money to get a privacy fence. Do we have anything to worry about?
