When is the foreclosure auction scheduled? If there was a defect in the assignment, you may be able to file an Order to Show Cause to stay the sale, but only before the auction is completed. After that you would have a very hard time undoing the sale.
Know that 2019 US Courts ruled that the information can now be viewed by the public.

Thank you for the reply, this makes no sense B/C its a Child Custody Appeal....unless the Transcripts are being omitted due to the other party having committed a Family Offense, could this be possible?
I was told it means Transcripts were electronically sent and not in paper form.

I'm sorry your question remains open for two weeks. I looked up the statute to see if it would be helpful in pointing you in the right direction for guidance. The statute you cite reads in part... [Section 800.14] Appeals in criminal cases. " ...When the clerk of the trial court has... View More
It's an old negligence case but the first of its sort where there was a hole or uneven grass at a NY stadium (I think it was yankees) and someone in the outfield when chasing a ball stepped in it and injured his ankle. I used to know it but have forgotten.

answered on Jan 31, 2022
I'm not certain about a hole in the field, but I believe there was a claim in the seventies or eighties contending that that one of the New York stadiums had been poorly designed due to not providing for adequate water drainage from the outfield, which led to a ball player's injury.... View More
I have 50 days to present an appeal that was filed by my previous attorney for a reversal of the verdict. I am seeking residential custody of my 7 year old. I need a good family law attorney

There is no "best way" to appeal any order from any judge in family court. The appellate standard is that the decision of a judge shall not be lightly overturned unless it lacks a sound and substantial basis in the record. This means that Carney, a Buffalo judge and former practitioner in... View More
I recently represented myself (big mistake) and lost to an adversary with an attorney.
The judgement is an order against me but I think the judge was asleep since he got many details wrong.
Would a Motion to Vacate (based on errors and new evidence) work and what is the timeframe?... View More

Hi.
Attorneys are prohibited from soliciting in the Ask a Lawyer section. However, a search in the directory based on your needs should help you find good options for this matter.
Thanks.

Notices of appeal are served on the attorneys on a case. It is up to the attorneys that represent parties to notify their clients. In a criminal case, you are not a party so you would not get notice.

What steps can be taken and what motions can be filed to help him?

If that is the case, and it can be proven or argued , it would go to surpressing any statements (keeping those statements out of evidence and not used against him) he made and be argued in legal docs called motions.

Attorneys helping pro se litigants is generally regarded as normal and acceptable. The prospects for obtaining free legal support could depend on the matter at hand, and the financial means and position of the litigant. Every case could be different. Good luck

The NY State court decided in favor of the other side, appeal pending. Court ordered that funds held in escrow be turned over to satisfy judgment before appeal is heard. Can this turnover order also be appealed? Will that keep funds in escrow until appeal is decided?

First, I am not a New York lawyer. That being said, what the appealing party should do is file a motion for stay, in either the trial court or the appellate court. The fact of an appeal doesn't automatically stay the judgment appealed from-- for that you need a motion for (a) stay.
For example, Miranda v. Arizona which was decided by the Supreme Court mandates that suspects have to be read their rights to an attorney and to remain silent, but would a similar case decided by a lower federal court (district or circuit court) have an impact on how police officers should act in...

It could depend on what the matter involves. If it is something other than admission, retention, guardianship and other MHLS-related matters, a family member or friend could look into whether a private counsel could be arranged. Good luck

Typically they can only change a promised sentence if there's a change in circumstances. Was there a written agate? Oral? Did the judge take the plea and was the defendant promised a sentence and then change it based on new findings?

First, I am not a New York lawyer. That being said, I would think your first avenue of appeal would be to the New York committee or the New York lawyers who conduct the NY bar exam. In Maryland, that would be the State Board of Law Examiners, overseen by the Court of Appeals or the Administrative... View More
