First, check with the Register of Deeds in your county to see whether a lien has been filed against your home. A great deal turns on whether you have a mortgage, as the mortgagee has a lien superior to anything the credit card company may have. If so, check the balance due on the mortgage against... View More

What happens depends upon which chapter bankruptcy you file--most likely 7 or 13 and when you file. Certain liens and judgments can be voided under the Bankruptcy Code, e.g., 11 USC 522 (f). Section 522(f) allows a debtor “to avoid or ‘wipe out’ a valid
perfected lien or interest... View More
I owe a credit card Co. a lot, and they got a judgment. I recently received a court email saying that they have filed a writ of execution.
What exactly does that mean?

I agree with Attorney Amann. The Writ of Execution is a court order granting the creditor to take possession of your property which is not exempt from the actions of creditors to collect debt. It can include filing with the Hillsborough County Registry of Deeds to lien your property, or to go after... View More

In 1964 my great grandmother was shot and killed by a man who was having a psychotic episode that included hallucinations. He had been released from a mental hospital just a few days before. This happened in New Hampshire. Can the hospital be held liable for prematurely releasing him?
answered on Jan 21, 2023
Unfortunately, the short answer is no. That is because of the statute of limitations. In other words, it's too late to bring a case as this happened almost 60 years ago.
If you were within the statute of limitations, this would have been a case worth investigating. If the hospital... View More
How would I go about doing that?
answered on Dec 19, 2022
You can fire any attorney. You would need to notify your lawyer and inform them you are unsatisfied with service and would like them to withdraw. If you have hired another lawyer the newly hired lawyer can contact the existing lawyer. It is routine that people are unhappy with their lawyer for... View More
If the warrant is for a FTA out of PA & they pick u up for that & hold you in jail until you go to court for an extradition hearing what can someone expect to happen?
answered on Dec 6, 2022
It depends on the warrant. The Extradition Clause in the US Constitution requires states, upon demand of another state, to deliver a fugitive from justice who has committed a "treason, felony or other crime" to the state from which the fugitive has fled. The state that issued the... View More

If the Judge is filing the civil lawsuit on his or her own behalf, these prohibitions may not apply as he or she has a right to litigate any wrongs against themselves. However, the case may get transferred to a jurisdiction where there is less of an appearance of conflict. Hope this helps.

In New Hampshire, if the judge is not a full time judge (i.e. a per diem judge), he or she may practice law and can file lawsuits on behalf of a client. The rules would require the judge not to practice in the division of the court that he or she serves in. Therefore, for example, a per diem or... View More

A New Hampshire attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. I can only speak for the insurance law-based attributes of your question, not the divorce-related ones.

A New Hampshire attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. Until you're able to consult with a local attorney as to state-specific protections for labs, such situations are generally governed by the agreement between the dentist and the lab. Good luck
