A Utah attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for two weeks. You present a number of issues to sort out, and it's possible you might benefit from an attorney who has insight into a number of the different areas (such as L-T) you describe. In terms of your immediate needs, a... Read more »
We dropped off our very small dog to a care-giver supposedly vetted by a larger company (like an air bnb - you find a care-giver in your area with ratings or close by). When we went to pick him up he was extremely lethargic. Care-giver said he was just tired. It didn't make sense. Our dog was... Read more »
With respect to the criminal side of things, you just need to call the police in the jurisdiction where the abuse took place. They will take the information you have and investigate further, as needed. As to the civil side, this case would probably come down to the value of the claim. Assuming the... Read more »
I’m trying to prove that the termination of my 12 year lease because i informed the landlord about a mold concern, was illegal because of landlord retaliation laws protecting tenants in Utah. They are now trying to sue us for a large sum of money that is exaggerated and fabricated. They have no... Read more »
There are many things that might be put in a lease but they can't be pursued in court because they are inappropriate. It would be a waste of time and energy to try to list them all here. You cannot be taught how to defend yourself in a short note like this. Having an attorney review your lease... Read more »
The unit below me was raided a couple weeks ago and they seized over $1 million in meth. I told the office I was moving because of an unsafe living environment. They told my I had 2 options, both required me to continue to pay. My understanding is that if the landlord doesn't provide an quiet... Read more »
If you can't afford an attorney, contact utahlegalservices.org. They are good with landlord tenant situations and I think you have a good argument that your apartment is unsafe. When a home is found to have large amounts of meth, they will often destroy the home and dig out the basement and... Read more »

Once the police choose to back out of the situation, your only option is to sue the landlord.
My brother and I are working with an attorney to review a potential wrongful death suit against my mother's physicians. As part of the medical records request the attorney asked my brother to sign the contract, but did not include any of the other siblings information. Do both siblings need to... Read more »
I recommend you ask this question to a civil litigation attorney. This is a litigation contract you are asking about.
BF died of drug intoxication. Insurance is asking for prescription list, autopsy and toxicology. We were not married how do I obtain these? I doubt his family will help me obtain one.
Obtain some sort of official demand from the life insurance company and give a copy to the sources of the documents you need. This may work.
Attorneys can normally obtain these items with a letter saying they need it for their client to obtain insurance.
If neither of these work,... Read more »
There is no rule. You can actually rent a property without a lease if both parties agree to do so. This is called a month to month tenancy. Leases are recommended as it gives stability and allows the parties to have a signed document confirming everything agreed upon. If you have no lease, you are... Read more »

A Utah attorney could answer best, as elements of state public health law and state executive orders could apply. But your question remains open for two weeks. As a general matter, they probably could because of the public safety issue - unless a doctor's note excuses usage on a medically... Read more »

Send me an email and I would be happy to talk to you about your case. William@melton.law
I am a pro se litigant and I recently filed a Complaint. However, the Clerk designated my case as a contract case, when in fact it’s a personal injury case. I’ve tried calling and talking to the clerk, but she’s firm in her belief and claimed to read my complaint. If she did so, she would see... Read more »
The designation by the court of the type of case you filed is not critical. It's my understanding that the court does that for administrative purposes. What is critical is that you Complaint correctly pleads your case. If you believe you have a personal injury case, but you've somehow... Read more »
You could search in the Legal Malpractice section here on this site, you could conduct your own independent searches, or you could look through the Utah State Bar's resources. Good luck

If your eviction is still pending, a landlord-tenant attorney could advise in the best manner - or given the difficult situation, you may have already decided to start looking into other places at this point. Good luck

What do I need to do to get those voidable contracts voided or what's the next step to repairing the war zone that has become my life because I'm now homeless and I've lost a lot everything my life's work forgive the errors and no punctuation I'm talking into my phone
Not a lot of facts to go off of here, except that you are saying that you signed and recorded some quit claim deeds a few years ago while you lacked capacity and now you want to void the deed.
If you were under duress or undue influence by the person to whom you signed them over to, you... Read more »
If it is possible does that company have the right to kick me out of the home?
As long as you are on the deed, they are unable to kick you out. You are an owner. House ownership can be split among persons and sold separately from each other. Each owner will have an undivided right of use and enjoyment of the property ( you can's draw a line in the middle of the house... Read more »
The short answer is yes. You can list anything that you own for sale. If you are going to give out seller disclosures, you will need to disclose the fact that there is pending litigation.
From this question, I am not even sure if you are the owner of the property. The answer is, an owner... Read more »
I was issued a citation for an “ilegal turn” on December 6. After the Officer arrived back at the station, he added “driving while license suspended” to my citation. I had NO idea that my license was suspended. Is this legal? Even after I signed the original citation, and wasn’t notified... Read more »
Yes, the prosecutor can amend the charging document at any time.
Your question is hard to understand. I will try the best I can to answer:
Yes an HOA can bring suit against an HOA member even if that member is a non-profit organization whose status is inactive/expired. This issue revolves around what agents of this non-valid, non-profit did to... Read more »
I live in a HOA community. A neighbor has adult children who break in to cars and homes and steal packages off door steps. Cops have been called numerous times and arrest have been made but it seems the laws are weak in this area. The neighbor does not own the property her mom does and the mom of... Read more »
Really you would need to look at the HOA. If there was something that they were violating in the HOA, then you could require the owner to find a new tenant, but you can't just make someone move because they are criminals.
Sorry.
It would depend on several factors. For example, how the asset is held (is it in your name solely or jointly in both of your names)? There may also be issues related to the UFTA (Uniform Fraudulent Transfers Act). This Act attempts to prevent individuals from shifting their assets to others to... Read more »
