Given the length of time that has passed, I seriously doubt it. You would probably have to pay an experienced matrimonial attorney, just to research the case law, to see if there is any possibility.

What you need to do depends on the type and level of harassment and threats. They may rise to the level of needing an Order of Protection against him. If nothing else, the evidence of harassment and threats may be used in your custody case against him; it doesn't sound like joint custody is going... Read more »

Your story seems over-the-top but I seem to recall that there was an attorney named Bruce Garrison who was forced to give up his law license about 10 years ago in Austin so I am inclined to give you the benefit of the doubt.
The text of your question is so mixed up that I'm not even sure... Read more »
Q: what type of lawyer do I need for a dispute about a medical bill for surgery that I am not responsible for
surgery performed after I was admitted to the ER, broken leg set,and the doctor they provided for me did not take my insurance. I was never told this or signed anything and they sent me an outrageous bill for his work, now they are sueing me for the full amount
You could look for an attorney or law firm that handles collections defense - healthcare claims. If they put the matter into suit and served you with a summons and complaint, move promptly in arranging for an attorney to answer or to request an extension. Good luck

Q: How can I be the one in trouble with federal and state?
Police won't do their jobs for theft and Im being treated as if Im the criminal and being threatened. Why won't cops do tbeir jobs?
That is neither a legal excuse nor a moral excuse for breaking the law
Q: If someone passes away with a mortgage can their children just give the house back to the bank and walk away?
The bank is saying the family has to keep paying the mortgage until the house is sold. She had cancer and there is no life insurance or money left in her account. They are also saying we are responsible for selling the house
Generally, yes, you can turn the house back over to the bank. The bank would typically have you sign a deed in lieu of foreclosure form. However, that is often not the best option. There are investors who specialize in buying properties "subject to" an existing mortgage and they will take over... Read more »

Not true. Was it a tax deed and not THE HOA?
Q: 2015 Divorce there is a temporary protective order issued to coincide with this case to divorce was final in 2016
Protective order should be looked at before finalise this case the case has been finalised and the PO was never look at or address it was a temporary order with no date is it still good or ?
If the protective order was issued in the course of the divorce in that case and not filed in a separate protective order case filing with a different case number, the temporary orders in the divorce become null and void after the rendition of the decree of dissolution unless the protective order...

Q: If you have a mediated settlement agreement and one party has violated it, how do you proceed/notify the court?
The agreement states "the parties agree to reserve on child support". The wife has in the last 3 weeks caused a lien to be placed on property for child support. A real estate deal to sell the property is now jeopardized.
This question cannot be answered without first reviewing the ENTIRE mediated agreement, not just one (very unclear) sentence. Nor is it clear how "the wife in the last 3 weeks caused a lien to be placed on property for child support" unless the husband is in arrears on child support.
Q: My wife disapeared and is believed to have gone to Texas with our 4.5 year old son and claiming some kind of abuse.
What are my options? There was no abuse except by her. There is a past though and I just got home from prison in Dec.

These are questions to address with your daughter's lawyer. Ask to make an office appointment with that person, and then make that appointment.
I have seen too many cases where well meaning parents start playing the role of defense investigator for their child. These people are all well... Read more »

I am sorry you had a heart attack, but the heart attack was not caused by the eviction or the attorney so, no, you can't sue them.
Q: What can be done if a parent fails to notify family court in his initial petition about prior dependency court case?
It appears you have asked this same question before, with some added facts. Therefore I will refer you to my previous response I just posted.
Q: Father did not give notice of prior dependency case when filing for timesharing in family court.
Magistrate and judge gave sole custody to mother with no visits to occur in fathers home, yet because the family judge didn’t know about prior case he turned the child over to fathers custody in an ex parte order and it’s just skyrocketed and flipped young child’s life upside down. What can... Read more »
Wow. Your situation is very unusual. Based on my personal experience, there must have been some very compelling reason why your sole custody was revoked and the child given over to their father--by an ex parte proceeding. Do not try to call the magistrate or the judge. If you think the magistrate... Read more »

I'm not on the title of the house but since I am still married to him I have rights as his wife to put this in probate. She agreed and signed a contract to that effect. Since she has stated she will... Read more »
First, it depends on how the property was titled, i.e. whether you are on the title too and if so, how you hold title with your deceased ex, i.e. as tenants by the entireties, joint tenants, or tenants in common. Second, it depends on how far you got in your divorce. Did you try to divorce, and... Read more »

The accident involved a tractor trailer and car. The car veered a considerable distance over into the tractor's lane. The insurance company is stalling and the tractor is the drivers livelihood.

Not sure whose adjuster/claims agent it is. However understand if police were called the police report will be used. Also if you have collision, use that, let your company go after theirs.
