decision was not what I had asked for. I filed a motion for a new hearing was denied. I found this out 20 days later because I went online received nothing by mail. What can I do to get a new hearing?
answered on Dec 22, 2022
You asked for a rehearing and the Court denied it. That's the end of you getting a new hearing. It may be possible to appeal the ruling, but you'd need an attorney who practices appellate law to review the case and the timelines for filing a notice of appeal are very tight.

To add to Mr. Baron's response, collections is considered an ancillary lawsuit to the underlying lawsuit. If the party does not pay on the judgment, you will have to return to court to enforce it. Don't forget to record your judgment.
Good luck.

Taking everything as true, you would have a claim for unfair and deceptive trade practices and breach of contract. You can claim $1000 and let the company say it is worth less and let the judge decide. This is a small claims case.

A Florida attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. Until you're able to consult with a local attorney, the short answer is that it usually depends on the terms of the retainer or agreement. Good luck

You should not file the completed fact information sheet with the clerk of court, because it contains personal information which you don't want the public to be able to access. Deliver it to the plaintiff, or (of the plaintiff is represented by an attorney) to the plaintiff's attorney.
Which she accepted and I wrote her a check. As executor of my mothers estate she authorized the home title change solely to me. Three years later I sell the home and she now is suing me for more money. What are my options and does she have any kind of case.

You would need an attorney to review the complaint she filed to figure out the basis of her claim. If there was a written agreement that clearly outlined that you were purchasing her portion of the house that she would inherit, that agreement would likely be upheld. If it was an oral agreement, you... View More

For financial relief she can sue the ex in small claims court. Regarding the car, perhaps she can report it as stolen. Unfortunately her credit is going to take the hit because she cosigned, regardless of these other two possibilities.
