this sounds like a UD Real Estate/ Civil Case, and I handle PI and DUI Matters.
However, if he is a flake, you may be throwing good money after bad.
a lawyer will not likely take on a case like this on a contingency.
instead, you will pay on an hourly basis.

You should immediately sit down with a Landlord Tenant attorney and/or a personal injury lawyer who handle mold cases. A lot of attorneys don't handle mold cases so you might have to contact a few until you find one. If you find an attorney who can help with both that would be best.
In this case, 10 years have passed, there is no renewal, no attempt to collect or attempt to pay by any party. Does the interest continue beyond the 10-year time a judgement is valid? Is it possible to negotiate a settlement agreement to pay the original amount owed without the interest added and... Read more »

answered on Apr 5, 2022
There is a possibility that a judgment creditor will negotiate a settlement for less than the debt amount owed; however, this is never guaranteed. A settlement agreement largely depends upon your circumstances (i.e., negotiation, the creditor, the debt amount, collection history, etc.).... Read more »

Get yourself a lawyer who can help you file a nuisance claim against your neighbors. Keep accurate records of each instance when your peace and quiet has been disturbed. Video and/or audio of the noises will be helpful. Don't delay.

The flippant, snarky, and downright rude (apologies) answer is, "Yes, it is called a 'Request for dismissal of your case,' or if you are the Defendant, it is called 'Withdrawal of Answer to Complaint.' If you want to litigate your case, and go to trial, then you must... Read more »

Unfortunately, no lawyer in the world can answer your question without reading your grandmother's trust. That is the key to this whole situation. One other note: If the law firm represented the trustee of your grandmother's trust, that law firm cannot advise you because you are a... Read more »

Unless you can prove damages, the fact that the employer has messed up the payroll records is probably not significant enough to make a lawsuit worthwhile.
If you can prove that you were retaliated against by being suspended and then terminated because you filed an OSHA complaint, you would... Read more »

answered on Feb 16, 2022
It depends on whether you have a lease. If you don't have a lease, that means you are in a month-to-month tenancy, so the landlord has the right to terminate your tenancy by giving you 30 days' prior notice if you have been in the rental for one year or less, or 60 days' prior notice... Read more »

She put my 8yr old dghtr and my belongings out off the sidewalk also locked us out. Thanks to local police officer he stated we are tenants and we were able to get back in with our belongings. Now she's shut off utilities no water in the house.

answered on Feb 5, 2022
I'm sorry to hear about this situation. This is not a constructive eviction. A constructive eviction is when the tenant moves out, typically due to problems with the conditions or habitability of the property. In that instance, the landlord does not "actually" evict the tenant, but... Read more »
Are there ways to reduce / manage my liability risks? Thank you.

answered on Jan 16, 2022
Most landlords have a liability policy with a big umbrella. You also need to make sure your lease is well written. We cannot give you specific advice without answers to the above. You should sit down with a good lawyer and go over everything.

Your written statement is very unclear. Perhaps it would be easier to explain in a phone call. Many attorneys offer free initial consultations by telephone. Good luck.

No, police cannot lawfully enter a room rented by an individual not involved in the altercation without the consent of the occupant.
I was fired from job when the police came to my home to arrest me for an alleged crime. I am an apartment manager and so I will be out of a job and a place to live, and I was wondering if this is legal for my landlord to do before I'm even convicted yet?

answered on Dec 30, 2021
Yes, it is lawful for an employer to terminate an employee who has been arrested when the arrest has not yet lead to a disposition. Whether or not you are eventually convicted or not is not material to the analysis.
Good luck to you.
The tenants were served the complaint and summons on 12/27. Yet they filed their response on 12/16. Is their response valid? It seems that they are putting the cart before the horse.

answered on Dec 29, 2021
Generally, when a case is filed a defendant can file a response without being served, if they so choose. Not clear from your post how they knew about the complaint, but the response would not be invalidated just because they were served afterwards.
