My friend didn't want bankruptcy, has no corporation, but has assets in real estate. June 11,2019... Read more »

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.
The case is now long over, I've been out for 3 months and even though I was told by the judge that I can get my items back my lawyer has not retrieved... Read more »
more info needed.
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 »
So incompetent not sober I read the law book caljic3.31.5 illegal. I got evidence proof not sober criminal history. They were all seeking advantage of me white collar crime. Ability to suspend their bar licences at the state bar of ca?
Maybe, if you have some evidence. Testimony, alone, from a meth user probably won't be very persuasive.
. I was under the asumption shes basically abandoned her access and Say so concerning entering without my permission.
What is your actual question?

Absolutely you can fight. If it was acquired during the marriage, it is half yours regardless of who’s name it is in.
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.
I dont have extra money for lawyer. The court system has laughed at me and told me I'm no good for my son and without a license I cant properly raise our son. I need help pro bono.

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 »
I received a motion that my very bad attorney said nothing about and that was on the 5th and I went into the hospital for cancer surgury right after. My ex has been fraudulently receiving medicaid benefits while she has been running a lucrative side business and I have the PI reports. I have never... Read more »
Even if your attorney has moved to withdraw, she is still obligated to respond to this motion until her motion is granted. Condition your consent to withdrawal upon your being given sufficient time to find another attorney and for that attorney to respond to the pending motion.
I have a retaliatory and hour and wage case set for trial and my attorney filed without my consent a motion to be relieved can I fight it and what forms
Your question is a bit confusing. The headline says the attorney was granted the motion to be relieved. The question however suggests it is still a pending motion.
Yes you can try to oppose the motion, but there are strict deadlines for doing so. However, the only real basis you would... Read more »
My attorney failed to show the judge I was the owner of property on an eviction case and he didn't show up. My case defaulted I owe the court fees now. He didn't fight for me. He also did nothing in my 2nd court. He failed to show my deed.
You should post that question in landlord tenant, not family law.
Not sure what you are asking? If you want to see if they have malpractice insurance, then like any type of insurance, your attorney should have a policy he/she can show you.
If ont he other hand you are speaking of a failure on the attorney's part to do their job, which caused you... Read more »

What is the mistake? There are details to your case that we would need to know in order to provide you with guidance. You should consult with an attorney who can review the facts in detail and present you with the options and guidance. -Homer P. Jordan IV, Esq. 404-620-1558
what do I do if an firm is holding money owed to me in a IOLTA and refuses to give info or release funds. The attorney who represented me now has his own firm and they have shut him out and will not provide him info after promising to release monies owed to me. I have been in this battle for over 1...

Contact the Tennessee Board of Professional Responsibility ( this is the board that governs lawyers). This office can assist you with complaint or disputes with your attorney.
I am not sure I understand this question to be able to provide an answer. In terms of foreclosure, if there is no timely answer to the complaint, a Plaintiff may move for "default". This typically addresses the issue of whether the Plaintiff has a right to foreclose. After that, there is an... Read more »
