more info and clearer info is needed.
it sounds like you are trying to do a legal malpractice case against your lawyer/s???
i don't handle that type of case.
you should consider contacting legal aid in the town in which you live.
The statute of limitations is ordinarily 2 years from the date the harassment ended (if it was ongoing), or 2 years from the date it occurred.
Fraud and financial exploitation are at issue. Civil Trial completed. Appeals completed. Mistrial.
more info would be necessary.
however, as a rule, a criminal lawyer does NOT handle matters on a contingency.
this is because you are talking about civil liberty (jail) rather than a PI lawyer going after money.
you should probably write out a detailed summary so you... Read more »
See if there is a file stamp in the box at the top right. If so, the complaint and summons have been filed and it’s a real lawsuit. Doesn’t necessarily mean the other side wants to take the case all the way to trial, but it certainly suggests that they are serious about pursuing the litigation.

I suggest you consult with and hire a Family Law attorney in your area. While I empathize with your situation, a criminal defense attorney can't help with this matter.
Good luck.
I do have 2 witnesses and now no car
A gift is a gift. Without title it may be hard to prove and obviously suing within family is rarely a good thing. Good luck with it...
I bought a used car from a dealership 6 months ago. I received the temporary registration application from dealer and registration application says I need to get the car smogged. I go to a local smog check and the car fails due to the Cadillac converter being tampered with(serial #’s were... Read more »
no, a dealer cannot sell you a vehicle without having title or having it smogged. You need to speak with an auto fraud attorney that will review all your paperwork and facts in detail and go over your options.
I am being sued for $10,000. For lost wages plus pain and suffering. The plaintiff has no proof of numbers. How does one show proof?
Pain and suffering, like all elements of a claim, is shown via evidence, which comes in the form of testimony and documentation. Further, there is no calculable way to quantify pain and suffering--each case is different.

In their Trust they Place a condition that my Mom has to leave Iran and become a permanent US residence before getting equal share, further it instructs no distribution to be made to children of my Mom who are...

Unfortunately, the only way to answer your question is to read the trust. Taking a few lines out of a lengthy document is not enough information for lawyers to give their thoughts and impressions because certain terms will be defined in your document and using a different definition will change the...

Dental malpractice was committed on 02 JUL, 2020 and the limitation will be expired on 02 JUL, 2021. When will it be expired using Emergency Rule 9 California?
INSTEAD OF POSTING HERE, YOU SHOULD SET UP A CONSULT WITH A LOCAL DENTAL MALPRACTICE ATTY.

I cosigned a car loan for a friend. He defaulted the car loan and the bank handed the loan to a collection agency. I had to declare bankruptcy which destroyed my once stellar credit score. As a result I'm strained financially and am still recovering my credit score. I am unable to get any... Read more »
In general, a co-signor agrees to share liability for a debt with the co-debtor. A default by a co-debtor is often considered a default by the co-signor as well.
Did your friend use your information to apply for the loan without your consent? Did you willingly co-sign for your friend?... Read more »
Long story short, I purchased a product that was not as advertised and does not hold up to the claims that the company makes on their website and they refuse to give me a refund.

There is nowhere near enough info here to help. For instance if it was a garlic press from a local store, tough deal.
But, if it is a car from Ford, whole other analysis. There is a fairly new law in CA that a company cannot (for lack of a better term) 'bully' a consumer into... Read more »
I have a copy of form interrogatories, my question is, do I need a deposition official as referred to in ca. ccp when I have other questions not included on the form interrogatories?
No.
Talk to a lawyer. There is a 6 months Claims filing requirement. If you are past that, your claims are likely time barred unless you are pursuing federal claims or are a minor.
I was fired after more than 15 years by a new director of the program I worked at for the last 7 of those years, bc I challenged her abusive authority. I originally wanted to sue for unlawful termination however I did not want my ex-co-workers affected. Now most I knew have left or been fired so...
There is no easy way to find out why a non-profit closes its doors. Look for news articles on the internet, or if you know any of the major donors, perhaps they have been provided with information.
As to your desire to sue for wrongful termination, I doubt you have a meritorious claim.... Read more »
