Sounds like you will need to sue them. I doubt a letter alone is going to dislodge $100k from someone. You need a real threat. Give me a ring and I can look at it with you.

I'm sorry to hear of your experience, but this is not an immigration issue. I suggest speaking with a civil attorney and also contacting the police department to request that the report be modified to include all relevant information.

Only if the landlord was somehow involved. But, if I am reading you right, the person just lived there, and in that case, no. You also cannot sue the state because he made money and paid taxes.
Plaintiff took me to small claims court, using a lease agreement that violated public policy and included terms that would require illegality to perform, as the basis of claim. Would the plaintiff have standing? If not, could the default judgement be attacked due to the fact that it is void?
answered on Dec 22, 2018
If you defaulted on the claim then your options are very limited. You will need to try and set aside the judgment but this is done somewhat rarely. You will not be able to do it without an attorney, and then you are facing a situation where it would very likely cost more to set aside the judgment... View More

It is unlikely that a motion to dismiss would be successful at this early stage unless you have incredible facts on your side. The proper thing to do is file an "answer" and start working through the court system. Failure to file an answer (or a motion to dismiss) can cause you to lose... View More

You can be held in contempt if you fail to abide by the parenting time established in your judgment. I think your best course of action if you believe your child is in danger is to file an immediate danger motion which could temporarily suspend parenting time until you are able to serve the other...

answered on Oct 15, 2018
It largely depends upon what the written agreement says and, in the end, what the seller/landlord admits or disputes. The only way to know much is to take everything you have in documentation to an attorney for evaluation and review. Sadly, your feeling pressured and/or having no where else to go... View More

There probably is, but it would be time consuming to find those few who do. That said, you do not need an Oregon attorney, you need an AZ one that does wrongful death. Just do a Google search for wrongful death attorney in the closest bigger city and then make some calls.

Originally 3 housemates on the lease in the home, one moved 2/3 way through lease and we sublet temporarily to someone. Lease is up in 6 weeks and we are giving the house up, however the temp roomie is using meth and we would like to evict, so wondering what my options are.

Not enough info here to know. Is subletting allowed by your lease (most do not allow it)? Who does this person pay her share of the rent to - the landlord or one of you roommates? IF she truly is just a co-tenants, you have no right to terminate her tenancy or evict you, anymore than she has the... View More

You should be able to contact the attorney responsible for sending the subpoena and the court that granted it to verify its accuracy. You should consider retaining your own attorney to help determine what document should be produced.
Judge refused a setover after 2 snow days and 2 of 3 witnesses not able to attend due to closures of school. what form do I use to vacate and set aside the default judgment?
answered on Feb 25, 2018
You need to file a motion and order to set aside the default. I don't think there are forms for that. You can also file a new motion to modify parenting time but the Judge may dismiss it stating that the matter has already been ruled on, but the other side would have to ask for a dismissal...

I am not sure what your legal question is. The appraisal at a given point in time has nothing to do with the value at any other point it time.
