Apparently you put your car at the lot? If so, it may have been a bailment, and that is your problem. But if someone else has your car now, then it probably is theft of your property. Report it as stolen. If you know where the car is, and who has it, then you can file an Action To Recover... View More

In Tennessee, if you believe someone lied about the existence of a will, potentially depriving you of your rightful inheritance, you may have legal options. If your stepmother intentionally concealed the handwritten will to benefit herself, it could be considered fraud, allowing you to sue for... View More
They have hacked my phone and have access to my contacts. They call my gas stations, bank, everybody. Even my friends from school. It's a crazy amount of funds and effort spent on a nobody like me. What course of action should be taken

It is not clear from your question whether you know the names of individuals who have committed and continue to commit these actions. At the same time, you indicated that they make phone calls, respectively, it is possible to identify these persons by their phone numbers. Having determined the... View More

It sounds like your lawyer needs to get in gear. There should be multiple defendants involved, and discovery needs to be enforced by the Court. It sounds like forgery is involved. Subpoenas against financial institutions must meet several statutory requirements.

I doubt that you actually know what happened in Court. Ask your attorney what is going on. Judge may have reconsidered his dismissal and decided to try it in the future.

If they are the Note Holder then you owe them. There is no requirement of notice of assignment, but usually there is a requirement in the Note or Security Agreement to give the address for payments.

You have to cross examine the LEO when he testifies against you. Does not sound like heresay for all of those facts, but probably some of it is. Without an arrest I doubt enough damages exist for a civil rights suit. Some other lawyer might want to sue, but I would not.

You will need to hire an attorney to sue the parents for damages. Any Judgment may not be collectable, so study your defendants carefully. Apparently no restitution was ordered, but did you go to Juvenile Court? You should of.

Usually 10 days after a Sessions Judgment and 30 days after a Judgment in Circuit or Chancery. Check for Appeals/Motions with the Court Clerk.
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?

File the motion to set aside the default judgment. If denied, then appeal.

What is your question? Apparently this is a complicated matter, and it does not appear you have standing. Insurance Fraud is a tort, and would not be involved in the Estate. Do you have damages? If not, no cause of action. Consult with an attorney.
The judgment is just against me. I own zero assets, either solo, jointly, or tenants by the entirety. How do I best object/respond to requests for spouse info during post-judgment interrogatories? Invasion of privacy? Same thing with tax return requests? Redact all info but specific to me or refuse... View More

More than likely there will not be a Court case until the HOA sues against the condo to execute the Lien.

If the contract was made in TN, then jurisdiction arguably lies there. But it sounds like it is a MO contract, and apparently that is where the seller would be served, so MO is alot safer.
