The judgement is from a car accident where I hit a rental with no insurance. I didnt go to court so I got a default judgement. I have no idea what I owe and my drivers license has since been suspended. So this in return has cost me a lot of legal trouble. I'm supposed to be paying an attorney... View More

First, if your attorney won’t return your calls hire a different one, assuming you can pay.
Second, I’m not sure what you mean by “remove” the default judgment. If you seek to have it removed from appearing on Casenet, that is not likely to happen. If it was a default judgment... View More
The other person told me at the scene they would sue me if I didn’t pay for the repairs within a week of receiving the estimate.
They sent me the estimate but it says their insurance covers it. So do I contact their insurance company to reimburse them?

A Missouri attorney could advise best on how an insurance carrier would handle this, as insurance practices are governed by state law. But your question remains open for two weeks, and you were concerned about responding to the other person in a week. As a general matter in many jurisdictions, auto... View More

If you have an attorney, this is a question that you should direct to your attorney. In general, however, once an order is issued you must comply immediately unless the order provides a different date.

The buyer might not have a good claim for breach of contract but could sue under the Merchandising Practices Act, but, in short, would need to prove that you made a misrepresentation or failed to disclosre a problem witht the animal's health.

You've not indicated anything about your living arrangement, i.e., is it a hotel, motel, apartment, or room in someone's residence. Without knowing more, it's impossible to answer your question. I suggest you report or edit your post if possible.

Unfortunately, a tenant's financial and physical conditions are not relevant to whether a writ of execution may issue and be carried out. You can certainly filed whatever you wish but, realistically, it won't be granted and the execution will likely be carried out before you could get... View More

Casenet will continue to show the judgment, even after 10 years, if that is what you are asking.

Can my lawyer appear for me in the state of Missouri?
answered on Aug 26, 2019
Yes, a lawyer may appear for you at the initial call docket hearing so long as the lawyer is admitted to practice law in Missouri. My answer is based on the assumption that the case is not set to be tried on the next court date. If it is, and if you plan to testify, it would be wise to be there.... View More

Yes, there is a legal remedy for breach of contract IF you have sufficient evidence to prove your case, preferably in writing. If not, this is a hard lesson about the importance of hiring an attorney to document any kind of agreement regarding real estate. That would have been WAY cheaper than... View More

I now live in Oklahoma. The business in is Missouri, where I lived when I worked there. I have asked for my information to be removed so I will stop getting daily calls and emails for her company. She refuses. It has been since Dec. 2018.

You didn't ask a question. If you want to know what you can do, my first answer would be to request the removal of your information. But you've already done that. Hire an attorney to write a letter demanding removal.

Tell the local cops what highway patrol said or ask highway patrol to straighten him out. Towing is a racket and they are allowed to charge huge amounts for nothing.
