You might, but as they have little money or they wouldn't be section 8 you won't get it from them. Suggest you look at if there is a grievance procedure--contact your local legal services/legal aid office.

Sounds like suboptimal care but given his compromised condition it wold be difficult to show that the errors were outside the boundaries of the normal standard of care. I suggest you contact a member of the Montana Assn for Justice--they give free consults.
This person was going around Butte Montana breaking into storage units. His girl friend pawned some of my jewelry. He is now in jail for doing some of the same. Can I file a civil suite on both people?

Yes, you can. Problem is collecting, as people in jail often do not have money to pay judgments from the court.

Not a good idea.

It probably depends upon how the account was set up. You should try writing the company and providing the information.
Now we are actually divorcing. The only thing we share is the house. He doesn't want to sell it and I don't want him to have it, even if he pays me 1/2 the value. We own it as tenants in common.

answered on Oct 23, 2015
I'm guessing that the officer was being lazy, and trying to get you to waive service of process. I strongly doubt that he filed a return of service alleging that he had actually served you on Facebook.
No, I don't think you can successfully get a valid service of process quashed... View More

You have to follow the court order. Get an attorney on your side swiftly.

Get an attorney. Do you think you can do a thing as complex as civil litigation for discrimination by yourself? If so, your are wrong in my opinion. The case would most likely get dismissed for failure to state a cause of action. There are certain pleading requirements for lawsuits. You could do an... View More
