If i have a civil judgement, but the loan is strictly in my wifes name, but being married my name is on the deed, will that judgement money be taking out of the sale of the house?
answered on Nov 16, 2021
To see if the judgment has been filed as a lien against your house, you can ask a title company to run a property profile or a preliminary title search on your home. That will reveal if the lien has been filed. If so, and the house is in both your name and your wife's, it is likely the lien... View More 
The new owners is having sewage problems and now wants to sue me. Am I liable for anything that happens to the house?
answered on Nov 15, 2021
I suggest that you have an attorney review your sale contract and seller's disclosure form, as well as any written demands from the buyers. You are liable if the buyers sue you and prove their claim or claims against you by a preponderence of the evidence. I have litigated... View More
There was two case numbers, one number apart from each other. The case the verdicts were issued on is the case that was dismissed
answered on Oct 6, 2021
It means that you are missing something. Juries do not decide dismissed claims. It wouldn’t make sense for a jury to issue a verdict on a dismissed claim.

Whether it is worth suing will depend upon the following:
1. What is your goal?
2. How much will it cost to sue?
3. What are your chances of prevailing?
4. What damages would you be awarded if you win,
5. Does the IL statute have a provision entitling you to... View More
This man was homeless and I chose to help him, he used me, he has money, and always did, he pretended to care for me, to keep a roof over his head. He is abusive.

It depends on what you want him to do. You can ask him to leave. If he refuses, you can sue to eject him.
For drugs and there was some Marijuana found but I did not know about any of it now I am being charged with a class D felony and two misdemeanors, what do I do, how can I get these charges dropped?
answered on Apr 1, 2021
See if you qualify for a public defender and/or speak with a criminal defense attorney.
In 2009 I was charged for sexual misconduct which I received a class d felony. It should have been a class b misdomeaner.
answered on Apr 1, 2021
See about reaching out to the court to see if it was a clerical issue. If not, I would speak with an attorney about your case.
I can't relocate at this moment

You've not provided any facts so there's no way to determine whether you are entitled to a return of your security deposit. If you are looking to terminate your lease before the agreed-up term expires, then it is unrealistic to believe that your landlord will simple agree to a mutual... View More

The prosecutor does not retain custody of people's belongings, but regardless I would speak to a criminal attorney to better help you with your question.

She can file a petition for emancipation. You can consider filing for guardianship of your sister as well.

I would need to know more about the details of the situation to better answer your question.

In general it is tough to find pro bono representation because you are asking a stranger to donate thousands of dollars of his or her time to your case. Therefore, you’ll need to be more specific if you want to catch someone’s attention.
In Section 1983 civil rights cases, prevailing... View More

It is obvious that you disagree with the court’s ruling but your post is unintelligible. Try rewriting it using separate sentences with periods. If you do that, then you might receive some better answers.
It is unclear why a hearing was held without you and why you didn’t or could... View More

I don’t understand why your boss would fire you for trying to get your stolen cat returned but, even if that were true, there is nothing improper, in an employment-at-will situation, for an employer to fire an employee on account for a cat situation.
The unpaid wages presents a different... View More
I paid $350+ for a Walmart Grocery pickup order. One of the employees there got into a very heated conversation with me and said "I'm gonna F**K you up, you B***H F****T " among other things. Ultimately, I was never given my order and I had to just accept the abuse.

I’m sorry that you were subjected to such unprofessional treatment. You ask if you “have a case.” You have a case if you sue and have a case number assigned.
Given that your actual damages would be tough to calculate and it doesn’t appear that you were physically harmed, you are... View More
Will the warrant be dropped when going before a judge
answered on Nov 19, 2020
Yes. In fact it what normally happens so a hold is created so that the accused is not released from the holding facility upon resolution of that case.
answered on Nov 9, 2020
Of course you can be charged. Based on the post, I suspect that has happened. Whether someone ultimately gets convicted is another issue. Time to hire a criminal defense attorney.
I have a medical marijuana card in good standing in the state of missouri

Even a valid medical marijuana card does have some limitations with regard to amount. Such as:
"Up to four ounces may be purchased per 30 days. The Department of Health may set limits on the amount of marijuana possessed, “provided that the limit is not less than a 60 days supply.”... View More

Missouri is an employment at will state. It is not unlawful for your employer to be mean, unprofessional, or rude. You have not articulated that any part of the situation was based upon your or your wife's membership in a protected class. If you believe there was unlawful discrimination you... View More
