Since you looked at the video, that tells me that you have an attorney. Since you have an attorney, you really should be discussing all of this with that attorney. If you are not pleased with your attorney, you are welcome to hire a different attorney.

You should file your witness list on a timely basis and under the witness' name put 'Investigation Continues'. When you get the address then amend your witness list. If you do not want to disclose an address for a witness, file a motion and request the court that the address not be... View More
I, the defendant, never received any notice from the plaintiff regarding a motion to dismiss my answer that they filed. They have also more recently filed several motions for discovery, none of which I have had any notice of. I only found out by looking up the case in the online records.

Generally yes. You don't say if your case is in Federal court or State court. You also don't say if you are represented by an attorney, but since you are seeking answers online, I presume that you are not represented by one.
If you look at the motions that were filed (that you... View More

You do not indicate if your spouse is your former spouse. If you are divorced, there should be a provision in your judgment in regards to medical expenses for your child. You need to refer to the judgment . If you are not divorced then your spouse is under no obligation to reimburse you for past... View More
We have worked with a few companies that have clearly broken contracts with us. The damages are not worth an expensive attorney or law firm. We want to hire an attorney to work with us on salary to go after these companies. Is it legal for us to do this?
answered on Jul 28, 2019
As a general matter, companies do what you describe all the time. The position is sometimes designated as an in-house counsel. They advise officers on key decisions, they litigate cases (or depending on the size of the company, oversee cases farmed out to outside counsel), they check company... View More

There probably are, but sometimes, the 24/7 ads involve answering services. If you want to discuss the matter with an attorney, the best chances are during business hours, Monday through Friday. Good luck

I bought a brand new 10x12 prebuilt shed delivered to my property that leaked from day one. After a few half hearted attempts to fix it among several non returned calls and no shows the owner of the company said he would take it back and refund my money. That was 2 months ago every time I call him... View More

First check the terms of the agreement. It could possibly contain provisions that include arbitration as a forum for handling disputes.

I went to court today to prove I had valid insurance. My case was dismissed. Do the courts contact the DMV to verify my insurance. I don’t want my insurance company to drop me because of this small incident where I couldn’t find my insurance card. Should I expect any correspondence with the... View More
answered on Jul 11, 2019
You will not receive any correspondence from the Court or your insurance company. I have had prosecutors call the insurance company to verify that the card was accurate. I have had clients get caught with a fake insurance card. That's the only reason why you should be worried about the... View More
My sister took my wedding photos for free as a “gift”, but since then has decided she’s not going to give them to me. She won’t talk to anyone or listen to anyone who asks her for the photos. Many family members have offered to pay to see the photos but she refuses. We were married in a... View More

Unfortunately, no. The law does not provide for any way to enforce unkept promises unless there was an agreement and unless both sides received consideration. I suggest you try to compromise and at least pay the photographer something--because the photos are hers.

You have to follow your parents rules.
You're lucky that the police are settling things with your parents and not taking this matter to juvenile court.
You don't want to have to deal with a juvenile court judge.
We got a letter from the employer saying we needed to pay back $27k in two weeks. When we got his w-2's and mine , this pay was not reflected at all. We don't know what our right's are in this case. We don't pay much attention to our bank statements and just paid bills as usual... View More

Whether you look at your bank statements or not is irrelevant. If your employer actually paid your husband $27,000 more than he was entitled, he will either have to give it back or will probably be sued by the employer.
I made a claim against other party's auto insurance for damage to my vehicle. Their auto insurance company denied my claim, said their client is not legally responsible.

Assuming you didn't already make a claim for the property damage with your own insurer, you are not prohibited from filing your own case for the damages. First, make sure your carrier is not already pursuing this claim.
