Your current state is Virginia
If multiple insurance companies are being sued and 1 settles, and the settlement check put in escrow by attorney. Client then fires attorney and hires new attorney who takes over case. Can the fired attorney continue to withhold the settlement and for how long... or does fired attorney have to... Read more »
There may be circumstances in which the attorney can hold the settlement funds in his/her trust account, pending global settlement of the case, but if he/she does, he/she must fully communicate with you the reasons for doing so, and might also need to file a motion in court to determine what to do...

Too many details in my case, however it started in Montana, and then MI colluded against me. You can bet that big favors were involved.
You don't have a right to an attorney at this stage so if you want representation, you'll need to hire an attorney.
The case has taken more than 5 years. Every time there is a deadline it is missed. We submitted a piece of evidence into record and the attorney was given 15 days to reply with its admissibility. That was 49 days ago. This is a trend and I believe it is to try to run my funds dry so I cannot... Read more »
If you believe your lawyer has committed malpractice on your case, you should consult with another attorney to review your file and advise whether he agrees. You have a right to receive either the original or a copy of your file.
An out of state attorney is in the middle of settlement negotiations with all defendants. The in state attorney who filed the case wants to withdraw suddenly, which will end the case. Is this legal?
From the brief description, it looks like your attorney is appearing in Nevada courts through a motion filed by local counsel. A Nevada attorney could advise you on the specific rules of civil procedure governing such appearances by out-of-state counsel. But your post is open for a week, and time... Read more »
What do you mean by "shakedown"?
For example, when a person claims they were present when a crime took place, would they have to prove this in anyway or is any person who claims to know something about a case accepted?
This is typically proven in court on direct and/or cross examination. This is the importance of good legal counsel. If you haven’t already, it is best to contact an attorney who can assist you with the specifics of your case and provide you with tailored representation.
We are glad to... Read more »

If your son has a case, it would be for malpractice. Getting an MRSA infection is not, by itself, evidence of malpractice. You should contact a medical malpractice attorney to discuss the issue. Your son's medical records will need to be obtained from every ER where he was seen, as well as the... Read more »
I briefly mentioned that I would sue them if I could if I had the money can they attack me on that. I was forced to resign

My ex and I originally compromised on our initial child support agreement. He offered a generous amount until the youngest of 4 kids was 18. I had always been stay at home mom. Because of his generosity (no calculations or % when it was still law), I did not seek maintenance. Then when oldest is... Read more »
It is probably too late to seek maintenance, although you may have a very slim chance by arguing you and your ex were mistaken as to the facts involved when you made your choice. A judge can consider (and award) college expenses and can take into account the added expense of raising a disabled... Read more »
I had a bunch of personal items (cellphones, passport, tablet) confiscated and held in police lockup when I got arrested back in July 2019.

did you hire this lawyer or was he court-appointed?
either way s/he should be more client-friendly.
if you feel the lawyer is doing something wrong and you don't want to spend the money on another lawyer to assist you, one alternative is to call the state... Read more »

I bought furniture from ashleys and it was delivered damaged. Called the same day and filed a complaint. Yet they want to send a tech fo my house to bring it up to manufacturing standards. They want to fix it instead of swaping it with a new one. And they denied my request to swap for a new one . I... Read more »
The short answer is to let them know that if you do not get "what you paid for" … then you will want to post an adverse review on Yelp and to take them to small claims court to get your money back and/or to receive what you paid for.

There are attorneys that offer paid coaching and drafting services.
Need info on department of labor laws or employment laws
If you do not have a specific term of employment agreement (i.e. Jan 2020 thru Jan 2021) nor do you have a union collective bargaining agreement that protects everyone in the union nor do you work for the government then chances are pretty high that you are "at will".
Being "at will" means... Read more »
Weekend was over and i get blind sided late sunday out of no where. And i got bills to pay and 3 kids to support.
Every case is fact dependent. There is nothing in your question that states anything an attorney could work with.
My lawyer NEVER returns voice mail or my written letter(s). What should I do?
Within a reasonable time. It doesn't necessarily mean an instantaneous response - an attorney could be in court or deposition when a voice-mail arrives. But within the same day is considered reasonable by many to return calls. If someone is very busy or has pressing circumstances, the following day... Read more »
