It's best to act now and not wait until a default judgment. Reaching out to a lawyer to submit a motion to quash the service of summons can help you address the issue promptly and prevent any negative consequences from an incorrect default judgment.
With the proof you have, such as the... View More

Thank you for your question!
If the motion to quash is granted, the case gets dismissed. If a lawsuit gets dismissed twice, the Plaintiff cannot sue you about that claim anymore. You can file a motion to quash and answer together, or separately (motion to quash must be first).

I'm sorry to hear that you were deceived and lost money in this situation. Being scammed is awful and I empathize with how frustrating that must be. Even though you did not end up breaking the law, attempting to obtain test results illegally is still ill-advised.

In Oklahoma and can somebody help me

An Oklahoma attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. Until you are able to consult with a local attorney about your matter, the short answer is that it depends on the legal theory. You are asking about statutes of limitations, deadlines for filing a legal action. In... View More
SHIFT UP. And Sony Interactive Entertainment explicitly said that the game Stellar blade would not be censored. Most of the physical copies are but the digital ones are not.

This never happened. That is what a judge will tell you. To have an enforceable contract, you secure a bid/quote on SPECIFIC WORK, how it is to be done, when it is to be done, who is responsible for the work permits, what it will cost, and how long it is guaranteed.

My landlord said he rang the door bell and knocked the doors I didn’t hear at all. So he said he thought nobody was home and them entered as he has the key. I thought it insulting.

Thank you for your question!
Changing the battery of a fire alarm does not seem to be an emergency, that poses immediate harm to people or property.
For repair, landlords are allowed to enter into the property by providing written notice in advance. If such a notice was not... View More

Fire protection is a justifiable reason for him to enter. I'll assume he had the necessary battery and installed it during the incident.
You are being unreasonable.

I do note that on April 10, 2024--following the solar eclipse and one of the busiest days ever at the Austin airport--the baggage conveyor system for multiple airlines reportedly broke at 10:45 AM. That was an airport problem--not an airline problem. But SWA had warned its passengers that it... View More

A SWA passenger literally only has to drop their tagged checked baggage at a counter for it to get put onto a conveyor belt to be loaded onto the airplane. If there was some sort of... View More
