You make a very good point, and having that published decision out there defeats the purpose of your expungement efforts. However, the problem is that, once a Court issues an Opinion it is public - and it cannot be revoked or hidden just because the Defendant has now had his conviction expunged.
I won a retaliatory eviction cames against my landlord on appeal. The judges decision was to return property to me.

To make your case for 2x damages, you should present evidence and arguments at the appropriate stage in your legal proceedings, often during the damages phase after liability has been established. This typically involves submitting detailed documentation of your losses and arguing how they meet the... View More

Just as the statute says - a result is non-appealable for the plaintiff/claimant; it is appealable by a defendant.

Possibly. You need to get in your tort claim notice within 180 days of the appellate ruling that the conviction was reversed to preserve your claim. The case would need a full review with details to determine if there is a case. If the 180 days passes, your state law claims will be barred due... View More

I am not clear what you mean by having an "eviction notice" to be out on the 12th. Have you already gone to court and lost, with this Notice being from the court? Or is this the date on the termination of tenancy notice from your landlord? Most courts will not accept filings by fax... View More

You file the notice of appeal, and the required appeal documents and serve the landlord and the trial court with copies. Your first move should be to review it all with a local landlord-tenant attorney who does appellate work.

It's possible that you have some rights in regards to your father's estate but I don't have enough facts to know for sure. If he died without a Will then you are one of his intestate heirs. However, this is only helpful if he owned assets that needed to go through probate (assets... View More

You need to start calling around for attorney's ASAP, as attorney's here cannot contact you (please don't contact me, I can't help you). Use the find a lawyer link above and find someone who does landlord/tenant or perhaps trusts and estates.
