This was a gross oversight by the agency that resulted in a death which could have been prevented had they done there job
answered on Jun 14, 2019
I'm sorry for this situation. A wrongful death attorney would handle such cases in general, but from the brief details here, it looks like you would want to speak with someone who has insight into the agency. A starting point could be to speak with attorneys on this site, the Internet, or... View More 
She took the policy out years ago. We are currently going through divorce and our daughter has been diagnosed with cancer. My ex is now saying she will only pay her 33 percent of the deductible and i am held for the rest. And if i dont pay in full she will get a court order for them to take my... View More

Your issue is far more complex than what can be answered here. I could see a situation whereby the insurance payout is considered in the child support calculation. I could also see where an outcome would be similar to what your ex is saying.
You should speak with a family law attorney in... View More
They wont say why no pastor visit after he been going in once a week for 3 months? Can they do this?
answered on Mar 5, 2019
This is, first and foremost, a jail issue. Has the jail provided any reason why your wife, specifically, is not receiving pastor visits? Has anyone tried to visit her? Some jails also distinguish between pre-trial and sentenced persons, with pre-trial detainees being limited to access to programs... View More
I ended up totaling my boyfriends new truck and going to the hospital. I was not in the right state of mind when the cops talked to me and might have jeopardized myself.

You definitely need an attorney to help you with the situation. The information here does not indicate where this happened, which can affect how to approach the case, the cost for legal services, and who might be a good choice of attorneys. I think it would be better if you called me, or some... View More

I have a complex personal injury suit that is 4 years in the making. It’s pretty complex. It’s seens as though, there has been delay after delay. In the past year it’s gained some traction, but still docket delays. We were scheduled for a post-ADR status conference in 3 weeks, it’s was... View More

Adjournments and other delays are part and parcel to civil litigation. This latest cancellation could be for any number of reasons and requested by one or several of the parties. Hopefully your lawyer can provide you with an explanation about what happened. Just know that it's not terribly... View More

You may be conflating the grievance process with a legal malpractice claim; they are two distinct things with completely different possible outcomes. If you are asking the Supreme Court for superintending control, that implies that you've filed a grievance with the Attorney Grievance... View More
that coverage?

I don't practice in Michigan but your question remains open for 3 weeks. In general, a homeowner's policy should cover medical bills. There can be limitations, such as if a contractor was performing work, the carrier could issue a denial on the grounds that it would be a workers'... View More
I did file a small claims against her. She didn't have NO insurance and NO VALID DRIVER'S LICENSE. She appeared in COURT ONE time in this case. She informed the Judge she didn't work and that she wanted to "stay home" to raise her child. To date, she hasn't paid a... View More

I did not check the bed as I would normally. The second night I put a pillow under my leg. The next morning I noticed the sheets were solid. I had slept under these for two days.

You can, of course, sue, but I'm not sure what that will get you. You'd need to prove damages to substantiate a monetary value. Assuming the best-and most likely scenario: this was a housekeeping error, and whomever slept in the bed before you was an ordinary and clean person, I'm... View More

Possibly, BUT...allegations made in a police report are not false simply because the prosecutor elects not to issue criminal charges, criminal charges are dismissed or plead down, or the defendant prevails at trial.
Unless your ex was criminally charged with filing a false police report,... View More

They need legal advice (with a "c"). A lawyer advises and provides advice.
Who are you going to call? You surely cannot call GHOSTBUSTERS.
Who do you call when you need legal services? Yes, you know. You contact a lawyer.
So you contact lawyers and seek to retain a lawyer

Can I get in trouble
answered on Aug 18, 2018
Anyone can call the police. I think you left out facts like possibly the dog was snarling and acting in a way that seemed like it would attack.
Does "is of leash" mean "is off leash"?
If so many laws exist that dogs are required to be on a leash

The insurance won't talk to you. Suggest you write and ask for an appointment, explain you call and dont' get anyone (double check to make sure you are using the right number).
Make the appointment in person. You can then see your file and if it's getting work on it.... View More

Is criminal charges possible
answered on Mar 16, 2018
If there was a police presence and a police report filed, the more likely there will be charges. Charges are ultimately decided by the prosecutor's office. I would need a bit more information to provide you with a more accurate answer.
