3 parties were listed as defendants in a suit by a mechanic. No lien on vehicle. The vehicle is titled to 1 of the parties involved only. How do I remove the others from suit?
answered on Jan 11, 2021
Of course, that depends. If you're the plaintiff, you can simply file a motion to dismiss those defendants. If you're a defendant, you can see if you can get the plaintiff to agree to dismiss you, or do the necessary discovery to allow you to get out with a motion for summary judgment.

Your question does not provide enough detail to fully analyze this situation. The answer depends on whether you have an enforceable non-compete or non-solicitation agreement with your former employer. You should consult an employment attorney in your area for advice.

The bondsman is good friends with a lawyer he refers and the judge on a criminal case. They know how much money the client has and the court fees and bond magically goes up
