It isn't fully clear what took place - whether the New York firm is referring the case, or whether both are working in a local counsel arrangement (you ask if both firms are taking the case). It looks more like a referral, but that's only a guess - clarification is needed. These questions... View More

Based upon the facts as you have presented them, I do not see a basis for direct liability, or for what is known as "vicarious liability", such as if you had a child, he used your car with your permission, and injured someone. Thus, I believe that there is no legal responsibility on your... View More

Your question has a couple of issues:
1. Restitution being taken out of his commissary money. This is probably per statute, so there is nothing that you can do about it. Your husband will get out some day and will hopefully have a little, less, restitution that he has to pay, because... View More
