I have a friend on death row in Texas who is currently trying to appeal his sentencing. Would any law firms take his case on for free?

The city is incorrect.
That being said, the least expensive solution is to have the executor of your stepdad’s estate sign a deed conveying the property to you.
We do not own mineral rights. Just received call from driller advising they will be drilling oil on our land. How do i protect our homes timber and water source?

You should definitely meet with a probate lawyer. You will want some sort of official legal documentation to show that you now hold title to your mother's portion of the property. Plus, you want an attorney to make sure you're getting your fair share. Contact a probate attorney to see... View More

You could also explore what options are available to stop... View More
