Greetings. It appears you are unhappy with the progress of your modular home construction. In New York, disputes between modular home vendors and buyers are governed by their written agreement. The agreement will have provisions concerning performance, time, and, often, disputes, which may have... View More

Only if it is without prejudice.

Hi. That is a very interesting fact pattern. You definitely want to consult with an attorney prior to settling a potential action. We are happy to provide you with a free consultation, as I’m sure many others are as well.

All the best. Stay safe, have a great weekend.

If it's in a divorce case, then you'd file an order to show cause for an amended judgment. You'd need to submit an affirmation/affidavit stating the reason for the correction. Schedule a consult with a NYC Family Law attorney for a full assessment.

Here's a form I found on the Southern District's website, https://www.nysd.uscourts.gov/forms/subpoena-appear-and-testify-hearing-or-trial-civil-action If you are representing yourself pro se, you will need the clerk to sign off on the subpoena.

In most cases, it would be difficult to sue over expectations related to gifts. In general, gifts don't give rise to the same rights and duties as formal contracts do (offer, acceptance, consideration, etc.). Good luck

The fact of "trespassing" will likely constitute "wrongdoing". Unless you meet the statutory conditions of "criminal" tresspassing, it's just a violation in NYS (you can get a ticket for a small fine).

There are attorneys on this board who are knowledgeable in securities-related matters who could best advise, but your post remains open for two weeks. As a GENERAL premise, for someone to be liable for scamming or defrauding someone, it usually has to be shown that they had an intent to deceive or... View More

Hi, Liz. The interest rate may be specified in the judgment. If not, most states have statutes that specify rates for pre-judgment and post-judgement interest. If this is a New York state court judgment, that rate is generally 9% simple interest. As always, there could be additional facts that... View More

That's something an Illinois attorney would be likelier to know. You could repost under Illinois. The question would have better chances of being picked up there. Good luck

Sorry to hear what happened to your sister. If she hasn't already, she should report the incident to her supervisor and request that the other employee be transferred to a different department to reduce the risk that she might run into him again. With regard to bringing a lawsuit against the... View More

Based upon what you have said, to begin with the case would have to be done in PR as that is where he was born, however, since the "adoption" was unofficial it is unlikely that it can be done. What is probably a better option, is to bring an action for a name change back to the time he... View More

You would need to check on the existence of any Pet Lemon Law in CT. I would recommend checking with the CT Attorney General's Office. NY Lemon Law does not apply to out of state sales.

It sounds like your conference was administratively adjourned (postponed) by the Court until March 31st. Substantively it should not affect your case at all. If you are very concerned you can always call the Court and speak with one of the clerks. If applicable, use the extra time to complete... View More

You do not need a lawyer for this, but it is a hard process.

First you need to speak to your mother and find out what orders if any there are. Once you know what the order says if anything, you can speak to a lawyer to get information on what to do. The alternative, is to go to family court and file a petition for support from your grandmother as she is... View More

This could be something that a collection defense attorney would be able to advise best on. All the categories you chose make good sense, but you await a response for four weeks. You could try reposting and adding Collection as a category. Not all posts are picked up, but you'd probably have... View More

Anyone can sue anyone if they pay the fee. Thus, the question is do you have a defense. It depends on what the form says. Assuming it is a true general release form, you should have a complete defense.

both sides.

I'm very sorry for your loss of your mother. You await a response for three weeks - if you wanted to repost and add Probate and Estate Planning as categories, there could be better chances of your question being picked up. There's no guarantee all posts are answered, but the attorneys... View More
