First, call your insurance company and ask them to help. If your insurer won't help, ask why and get it in writing. If your insurer cannot resolve it, consider calling the Attorney General's consumer fraud hotline or making a complaint with the BBB. You may need to hire a lawyer if those... View More

That doesn't sound like a valid defense to an eviction case. It sounds like the judge did the correct thing in dismissing (presumably without prejudice) the eviction against the unserved defendant and evicting the defendant who admittedly was served. The landlord will have to refile the... View More

This is a complex question. If there was fraud the statute of limitations may be extended.
You may need to take multiple steps including reopening the estate, filing an action against the former PR, and so on.
Rather than trying to do this yourself, you should seek legal help.... View More

If you believe your car was wrongfully towed from a commercial private parking lot without proper signage or a valid reason, you may have legal claims to consider. Consult with a local attorney to determine if the towing company failed to follow proper procedures or lacked a valid reason for towing... View More

I want to protest a business and just want to make sure I can inform the potential clients about the business’ practices.
I just want to make sure I don’t commit decimation or libel.
Will they be able to pursue me for either if what I am telling people is based in fact?

I was initially evicted, but worked with another lawyer to get the eviction removed. I still had to leave my apartment with only a days notice and have since been homeless. I would like to sue them, but I am having difficulty finding what type of lawyer I need to find to help me.

A Colorado attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. I'm sorry this happened to you. You ask what type of lawyer you need. Out of the categories you chose, landlord-tenant is probably the best place to start. Personal injury attorneys aren't likely to have... View More

first of all, go see a good bankruptcy/financial distress lawyer. It sounds to me like the statute of limitation might have run. If that is the case, then you have an action against the law firm.

Depending on where the dog came from, it is very likely a PACFA violation.
