This definitely would make for an interesting slander case against the officer and potentially the police department since he is arguably abusing his position as a police officer. Email me privately if you want to discuss further.

His letter stated that all parties and attorneys will have the opportunity to appear and respond at that time, or it will be submitted for signature with no... View More

You are part right and part wrong. The attorney files an Order to Show Cause served on you. You can object, but there are few grounds to force an attorney to stay in a case. Fees are a separate issue. If the motion is granted, you will have 30 days to get a new lawyer or appear yourself. After... View More

You must sue in FL. As a suit is already there, you need to answer and counterclaim in the suit that exists.

Under the Letter of Intent does it state what states law and jurisdiction shall apply? if it says FL then you must file in FL.

The CA affirmed and the S. Ct denied cert, but the lower court later amended the judgment as a clerical error. What is the effect of such a judgment

If all the appeals and cert. Denial occurred before the lower trial court amended due to clerical error then courts retain jurisdiction to amend for good cause. It was their case to begin with.
If the lower court did it... View More

If she copied and pasted your signature without your consent that does sound alot like fraud to me, but the facts you lay out sounds like she is claiming you committed fraud.
