If this question was posted in the criminal law section, it could stand a better chance of being seen by criminal law attorneys. This is a Fourth Amendment search and seizure issue that criminal attorneys would be knowledgeable about.

Although a pain in the butt for a small amount, you have to make a motion to have the judgment deemed satisfied. In theory, the creditor has to pay your fees, as you paid the judgment.

It depends on how the deed was drawn. If it was with right of survivorship between the two then no. If tenants in common, then you are right. Look at the deed and see how it was done.

The contract states “ job can start in 8-10 weeks”.
That will be this Saturday. I’ve unfortunately had minimal contact with him because he’s not returning my phone calls. Can i legally get out of the contract if nothing starts by Saturday?
Thanks

Well, first off, just because Something is written doesn’t necessarily make it by then… In fact, in most cases oral contracts are just as legally binding as written ones. In both cases, however, if a “material term of the contract” is breached, and no harm will be bestowed if the contract... View More

You cannot add this to the judgment without a motion in New York. Honestly, it is a big bureaucratic process, and you will only get it if the contract you are suing on has costs of collection included. If this is not a contract case, you will not get it.

You can try to sue anyone in any court; but not necessarily with success. In this case, the small claims court lacks personal jurisdiction over the alien company, located in California. Also, what are the damages? If more than $3000 in villages and towns or $5000 in cities, the small claims court... View More
