It depends how close to the time limit they withdrew, what work that had done, and the efficacy of your case.

This is a good question. A lawyer licensed in any state would work, this is not in court where a license is required. But to narrow down your search I'd look for a lawyer in the state where you are or where the grievance board is located. This happened to one of my clients who lived in CA, I... View More

He asks the client if he would accept this amount and the client says “yes” to the verbal offer. The... View More

This is fraud; it is a crime, a case you can sue on, and the lawyer could lose his or her license to practice law.
My girlfriend is broke and needs to pay $500 for her lawyer to help finalize a legal case so she can get her inheritance, and I’m looking to see if the price can be lowered. I’m in Mississippi, but she’s in Florida.

It depends on what needs to be done. She will need to contact probate lawyers in her state to discuss costs for what is needed to be done.

There is not nearly enough information for any lawyer to be able to advise or help you. Retain a banking lawyer.

You will need to consult a medical malpractice attorney for an assessment of your case. Medical malpractice cases are complicated and fact intensive.
I was tricked into paying legal fees that were never owed and given directly to my ex-husband by his attorney. I have text messages proving this was done to me. Do i have any legal ground? What category does this fall under?
answered on Jun 8, 2022
To get meaningful advice about your situation, you need to schedule a consultation with an attorney for discussion of the circumstances, review of your retainer contract (if any) and the case materials, and if this was a court case, review of the court docket. You might have a legal malpractice... View More
I spoke with my attorney today pertaining to incorrect information in my Schedules that were filed.I provided everything accurately and honestly. Most concerning, my tax return wasn't added. Then my values of property were changed. Removed a creditor that was originally on draft. Said I make... View More
answered on May 9, 2022
While both of you are at fault (your signing them without making sure they were accurate and complete; your attorney neglecting to attach your tax return, and overlooking other mistakes in the schedules), the attorney is probably right by advising you that it's not important. As you have... View More
Can an attorney add his/her fees and to an amount a client offered to settle a case, increasing the settlement amount offered, then tacking on fees and cost on that increased amount?
answered on Apr 15, 2022
Yes, if it is a contract, such as a charge card, which contract provides for attorney fees, they can recover those when they bring it to court. Court costs, including filing fees and the expenses of serving you with process (a "summons" and a copy of the court complaint) can also be... View More
to deed it back over to my name only, dissolve the LLC , and ask the court to remove the LLC from the foreclosure case. Can I do this ?
answered on Mar 10, 2022
You can do the first two but the court is not likely going to remove the LLC from the case because it had an interest in the property at the time of the foreclosure and that interest needs to be foreclosed.

If you believe you have exhausted all efforts to contact and discuss your issues with your attorney and they are still not responding or unwilling to settle, you have the option of hiring another lawyer. However, keep in mind that if you terminate a lawyer, you may be charged for the amount of work... View More
After about 10 minutes a sheriff from the county came over on his own to show some decency and open the door for me so I could breathe.

This is an interesting question and you are protected by the constitution against cruel and unusual punishment. Given your fact pattern, I don’t believe that the actions of the officer rise to that level, the intervention by the deputy was appropriate and kept the situation from the escalating... View More
The case was litigated for a year and the Plaintiff withdrew the case without prejudice. Now the plaintiff would like to reopen the case. Is that possible? I am not sure about the timeline for permanent closure or continued litigation in a case of this style.
answered on Jan 4, 2022
Assuming that the pertinent statute of limitation period has expired, re-filing the case would be time-barred.
Finding was reached. I filed a motion to dismiss on grounds of violations of my 14th amendment, not only for the illegal arrest but the Sheriffs dept, sent me a notice of my warrant, I communicated back and decided to go a more refined way and file a motion to quash Capias, it was sent back by...

Notice to the agency is required by Florida Statutes, must be filed within three years of the occurrence and the dept of financial services must also be served. You should also hire a lawyer to do this and handle this matter for a myriad of good reasons.

If you no longer trust or have faith in your attorney it sounds like you should consider hiring new counsel.
My dog was given a medication at 20mg dosage when it should have been 2.5mg. As a result of the wrong dosage and previous health issues she is now having acute kidney disease and may need to be euthanized. How do I go about pursuing legal action against the animal hospital involved?
answered on Aug 6, 2021
Most dogs don't have a market value of very much. Unlike people, you wouldn't be able to sue for "wrongful death". So you would sue in small claims court for the vet bill for the negligent procedure, as well as the cost of having the dog euthanized. That's about it.
