You can hire an attorney to search the title and examine the Probate Case to evaluate it yourself. Sometimes some heirs are not cooperative, but could be persuaded. But sometimes the title is bad and cannot be properly conveyed. Claims may be affecting the solvency of the Estate, or... View More

It sounds like you're dealing with an auto loan that may have unexpected terms. Charging a flat fee of $10.81 a day for six years is essentially a per diem interest rate, which would accumulate a large amount over time. If your loan agreement does mention this type of daily charge, it's... View More

It will be enforced unless a timely motion is made to that Court.
The latter. Is that not a conflict of interest in the courts? Your paid attorney obligated to the courts? How can the client get a fair chance?

Presentment is presenting a negotiable instrument for payment, not an instrument itself. Like taking a check to a bank for payment: it is either honored or not.

Get out your bankruptcy petition and see if the creditor was listed as a scheduled debt. If not, it was not discharged. You need to look at the Judgment which is probably a lien against you of record at the Register of Deeds. If the Judgment is legitimate, then there is no defense to the `10... View More

Someone saw the video and reported it to the cruise lines. And I was banned for life. Not for getting caught for smoking weed. Banned because of a video of me smoking onboard. Can I sue?
answered on Jul 9, 2024
They'll do that. The short answer is that cruise lines have a no-marijuana policy. It's possible the video was flagged as a violation of policies, and that it could be used as evidence in subsequent proceedings if it appeared on social media or other public forums. Good luck

That is the Statutory SOL of 6 years for breach of contract (to pay here). However the contract can modify the SOL. And the SOL in TN runs from the last payment, not the date of contract execution.

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.

Defendant can claim the Statute of Frauds unless there is a writing, even a cashed check. General Sessions suit will cost about a third of your prospective judgment. If you get a judgment by default including costs, you will still have to work to collect it.

It is a matter of contract, not of law. Based on the information you provided, if a contract with a self-storage company provides that insurance is required, there is no law prohibiting that provision. For example, many landlords require residential tenants to have renter's insurance.... View More

If you did not receive instruction to install the 1/4" board, I don't see that you are at fault. I'm guessing they are refusing to pay you for your work. If they do this, call a lawyer who practices construction law in your area.
