The address is not helpful. You will need to search by the name of a party involved in the case. It is common for a parent to bring suit “as Next Friend” on behalf of a... View More

True, from time to time an innocent person is found guilty and put in jail or prison. In my experience, that is rarely the result of corruption but is more commonly the result of... View More

A Texas attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. I'm sorry for your painful situation. Reach out to Social Security disability attorneys and try to arrange a free initial consult. That's the norm in the industry. I hope things turn around for the better... View More

Your question lacks important information like what is the cost to repair your car and how much, if any, has the damage to your car depreciated its value even after it is repaired.
There is no way to judge the settlement offer without knowing this information.

I had a case that I recently worked on that involved a similar situation. I think you should hire an attorney to represent you. Work with the attorney you choose to develop a legal strategy and execute the strategy effectively.
My Father doesn’t understand, read, or write English very well and has asked me to help understand what’s going on in his Personal Injury Case. His Attorney said that I would need to have a Power of Attorney created and submitted to them in order to speak with them about his Case. Is this normal?

It is unlikely you will find an attorney willing to take such a case pro bono. Moreover, it is unlikely that you will need to do so.
