New Jersey Questions & Answers
Q: can a conditional dismissal be appealed?
William N. Sosis' answer
Appeals from trial court decisions are 'as of right', so most likely yes. But a reliable answer requires that you first speak with an attorney. An attorney will evaluate the specific facts of your case before providing you with the best answer. However, the courts use strict rules and timetables so if you want to appeal act fast and contact an attorney for a no-cost consultation.

Your situation requires an in person consultation with an experienced immigration attorney. Immigration is a very complex area of law. It is a lot more than merely filling out forms.

Leonard R. Boyer's answer
There is no way of knowing who will win the sheriff sale. This is very different from an auction. If it was a short sale, you do not control anything, the lender does and statistically most short sales fail.

Im sure there are lawyers that are willing to help you but that depends on if you have a viable claim. And unfortunately you did not provide us with much information to go on. Please advise on what the underlying claim is regarding and why you believe the attorney committed malpractice.

Q: can landlords put interest on late charges? I got charged 40 every month even though it was on time. for that 1 time.
Jubilo Lopes Afonso's answer
Do you have a lease which allows him to charge you late fees as additional rent? If you do, then it is considered rent, and every month you haven't paid it, it could be considered late. If you don't have a lease or it doesn't state that the late fees are considered rent, then he can't enforce that against you in landlord tenant court.

Q: I have recently bought a property from a sheriff auction. Found out that the son of the former owner lives there.
Leonard R. Boyer's answer
Any time, prior to purchasing a foreclosure, you need to retain an experienced mortgage foreclosure attorney, who will have the expertise to help you avoid problems with foreclosed properties, which can have devastating financial consequences for the uneducated and unprepared. Now you need to retain a landlord-tenant attorney to handle this matter. Good luck.

Children have a right to see both their parents. A custodial parent cannot unilaterally decide to stop the other parent from parenting his children and being part of their lives. Unless your Order prohibits your parenting time or imposes certain restrictions then it's likely your parenting rights have been violated and you need to have the court enforce your rights.

Q: If an insurance policy check is put into an estate account does that make it part of the estate?
Jay Schmerler's answer
If the insurance check is related to a policy refund or some claim made by or for the decedent, then those funds are part of the estate. It should be deposited into the estate account and can then be used for any estate expenses. I don't understand why your sister "wants it back". If it was your sister's insurance policy, then it was likely a short term loan to pay the funeral expenses.
