Notary is an acknowledgement on a deed, so it is often placed after execution. If notary of your signature is before your signing, then hire a TN attorney to set aside the deed. There are probably some other pertinent facts here though.

The first logical step here would be to submit a demand letter to the dog owner to demand payment of the vet bills by a certain date, failing which you will take legal action. Such a letter will probably have more impact if done by an attorney. If there is neither any witness nor video, though,... View More
Civil case for damaged approx $5K Judge awarded $1K Plaintiff motioned for reconsideration and then RE Motioned a second time and the court has not or will not answer the motion. Is the 30 day clock running from the 1st order of judgement for $1k?
answered on Jun 23, 2024
Your motion is probably not the type of motion that stops the clock for the appeal window, BUT whenever there's a question, "In my court case, is the clock running for me to ____?" or "What is my deadline to ____?", that's an issue that you should NOT rely on online... View More

As there is no bodily injury, I assume you are asking if you can sue the other driver for physical damage to your vehicle. Of course you can, and if someone else owns the vehicle, you can sue that owner as well. HOWEVER, the normal first step in this situation is to determine if the other driver... View More

Very simple. You need to have a very frank discussion with your attorney. No attorney can "make" a client accept a plea offer from the State. There are times when it may be in a client's best interests to accept a sweetheart deal from the State in order to avoid the risk of going to... View More
Two counts of possession were adjudication withheld. I completed and was released from probation without incident in roughly half the time. Can I get either the felonies or the petty theft expunged or sealed in any way?

The answer is that you may be able to get your records sealed. In order to be eligible, you cannot ever have been adjudicated for any criminal charge, either prior to or after the charges you mention. You can get an application off of the FDLE website. Application is made to FDLE, which will... View More

If the defendant doesn't file an answer in a timely manner, a motion for default can be filed, but generally, an answer can be filed any time before default is entered. If you move to amend, you can't expect a default until the time to answer the again-amended complaint again runs.
