The arbitrator gave the company until May 15, 2020 to complete the project and they did not. It could be due to the pandemic and they may have gone out of business and they may start up business once the economy picks up. Meanwhile this company is only taking messages when we call and they have... Read more »
It wouldn't hurt to take action now, but if you wait for a few months that wouldn't hurt either.
Both retailer & Mgfr agree defective. But we took the Law Tag off. We did not receive instructions from retailer as to Warranty nor did we receive a warranty booklet/tag upon delivery. The retailer offered 50% but rescinded after we went to TN Div of Consumer Affairs. We purchased $7,500.00... Read more »
At this point, with your post still remaining open, you could try to arrange a brief consult with a Tennessee attorney familiar with consumer law to advise you whether this would be viable to pursue, and your options under arbitration, small claims, or other venues. Unfortunately, the recent... Read more »
I won the arbitration for the company having management performing union work for 6 months, and I am supposed to get compensated, the company is trying to under compensate.
An arbitration award, regardless of the practice area, will generally lay out terms and conditions (payment within a certain number of days, interest, timelines for appeal, etc.). One option is to contact an employment attorney to review the award and accompanying decision to identify what options... Read more »

If it's a secret about which you have no notice, how do you know about it? Having said that, if you truly haven't received any notice, then you can file a motion to vacate any judgment that has been entered against you.

I bought new 2015 Lincoln MKT 12/17 complete with 4 years warranty. No fault to me but t-boned by teenager when my new car only had 2000 miles on 2/14/18. Extensive damage cost over $10,000 in repair.. How do I calculate diminished value to settle this claim?
A Washington attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for two weeks. As a general matter, the property damage adjuster will do that. They'll visit the car in your shop and work up an estimate based on parts and labor. Unfortunately, many states apply statutory thresholds (which... Read more »
My late spouse was from another country and owned property there. I allowed my brother in law to be my P.O.A., to handle that business as I could not go to said country. I haven't heard anything from anyone in 2 years. I am in West Virginia and my in laws are in Texas.
Of all the categories you chose, maybe the best one to start with could be to contact an estate planning/probate attorney. They could probably assess what kind of investigative/legal resources are needed. You could look up such attorneys here (Find-a-Lawyer, above), or through your own independent... Read more »

It depends on if the arbitration agreement or arbitration procedure provides for any appeal, most do not. If any appeal is to be filed, I would say New Mexico trial court, but I have no experience with NM arbitration rules.
Can a unlimited civil suit be settled in mediation with prejudice? Also would I need a lawyer for mediation or will the mediator help to resolve it on both sides?
A California attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for two weeks. As a general matter, if your case was settled, the other side would not usually have grounds to sue. Check to see if there is a signed release in the file. I'm not clear on what you mean by criminally sue; suing... Read more »
Serial numbers and a signed itemized list. I contacted police department and was told all I can do is take them to court. Not sure how to handle this? Help!!
Your stored furniture has “serial numbers?” Interesting. You should immediately file a claim in the estate of your deceased friend (assuming an estate has been opened). I suggest that you immediately contact an Iowa attorney who handles civil litigation to discuss your options.
It is a 20 year agreement to pay off the panels. I know there’s arbitration in it. I’m scared that if they still get high utility bills they want to sue the company.
As a general rule, arbitration clauses are upheld. Additionally, decisions of arbitrators are regarded with the same binding effect as court decisions. If the clause was challenged, an Arizona attorney could offer more meaningful insight after reviewing the contract in detail. Good luck

If I don’t the Union will not “clear” me to work.

Sorry to hear about your mess. I think you are not using correct terminology - do you mean need a mediation attorney, that is, an attorney to mediate between your two attorneys? And if you mean that, have the two attorneys expressed a willingness to have a third person mediate between them, or... Read more »

Probably, but it depends on the circumstances. Were there two attorneys? Was there any communication between them as to the change, either by phone or in writing? It looks like the problem got resolved by the court throwing both out and placing the parties in a pre-agreement situation. Best... Read more »

Deceased did not keep a file of records and there are payments to a lawyer for services. Can I legally demand case file paperwork from the lawyer? I suspect ethics issues from the lawyer and need proof that there wasn't work being done.

Is that St. John's, Newfoundland? If so, if you aren't able to resolve the issue, it would make more sense for you to consult with an attorney in Canada rather than the U.S. attorneys on this Q & A Board, as your options could be governed by the laws of the province and/or Canadian... Read more »
