It is almost impossible to set aside a guilty plea. There are both direct and collateral attacks. Both are time sensitive, expensive and doubtful. Both you and your attorney did not know what was going on, which are not good reasons. Post Conviction Ineffective Assistance of Counsel might... View More

Hire a competent attorney to file an Appeal De Novo to Circuit Court. That is a new trial. You only have a few days to file it, so hire an attorney tomorrow. You should have never filed such a case pro se.

It sounds like you need an attorney to represent you. If the other side gets a judgment against you, they are going to try to collect it. You can probably get away with filing a Counter Claim for the property tort damages on your Appeal De Novo.

Post Judgment Interest if ordered starts from the date of Judgment. And it was not tolled by the appeal. Call the Court Clerks to see how it will be computed. But collecting a Judgment is another matter. Hire a TN attorney to get paid.

I'm sorry to hear about the situation you're facing. It sounds like you have grounds to consider a lawsuit for medical negligence, especially if there is an admission of the person not doing well and evidence of inadequate medical care leading to serious health consequences.

It will be enforced unless you request a rehearing quick. Even then you will probably have to file your response to the original petition and go to the actual hearing on the merits.
A default judgement has been entered - but I had a baby mere days before the hearing - and no counsel to request continuance. Default judgement was granted and order was issued. Do I file a motion to set aside judgement or go ahead and appeal?
