In your case, if the Certificate of Judgment was issued on December 26th, that is likely the date from which... View More

I was told my case needed investigation of certain issues
answered on Feb 7, 2023
A "certain issue" is another way of saying that there are red flags in your case that someone noticed that need to be explored further. It is the generic term for a discrepancy in the facts or a legal issue that needs to be answered before someone, likely your attorney, feels comfortable... View More

Normally, you are simply going to terminate the lawyer. This ends the relationship. It might, however, be wise to seek the lawyer's advice regarding an attorney for the appeal. It may be difficult to find another attorney within the time limits for appeal if you have terminated one attorney.

It sounds like you're dealing with a frustrating and possibly unfair situation. If both you and your husband own the property and only you have been jailed, it could raise questions about equal treatment under the law. It may be worth exploring if there has been any discrimination or unequal... View More

Either hire an attorney or do the research and represent yourself, quickly. Once the house is demolished there will be a lien filed for the cost. And that lien might be executed against the land.

First, I am not an Alabama lawyer. That being said, of course you can appeal--but what are the issues on appeal. Did you advance a defense of justifiable assault or a similar defense. Was this a jury trial or a bench trial. And was a final judgment issued as yet?

First I am not an Alabama lawyer. That being said, I don't think you should initiate parallel litigation by filing an adverse possession lawsuit, but I think that you should file a motion with the lower court to "stay the judgment." That is, just filing an appeal does not ordinarily... View More
