I filed for divorce in October of 2020 and my husband didn't get an attorney nor file an answer until March 2021. My attorney charged me hourly and I just found out about defendants needing to respond in 28 days or there is a judgment by default. My husband was sent to prison for abusing me... View More

Based upon your facts as stated, you may have an action against your former counsel. You have a one year statute of limitations to file. You should have your file reviewed by an attorney who specializes in malpractice. This forum is no substitute for hiring a lawyer.

Because such claims are rarely successful and very expensive to pursue, your best strategy is to offer a significantly higher hourly fee backed up by a six figure retainer to persuade a competent and experienced attorney to take such a case.

There are many requirements in legal malpractice cases that very state by state. One requirement in some states is an actual finding of innocence. Consult with experienced legal malpractice attorneys in the state where this occurred.

Ohio law governs the custody case. If you want to find out if you can sue your lawyer for malpractice you need to speak with a legal malpractice attorney in Ohio.

If you were not married to her, and if no court has granted you any parental rights, then she has sole custody and gets to determine who gets to spend time with the child, or even deny time completely. You could apply to the court for parental rights, but a judge might agree that she can refuse... View More

Your husband has a attorney client privilege. Revealing information to his mother without his consent is a violation of that privilege. See Ohio Rules of Professional Conduct 1.6 and 1.8(f). Your husband, not you, not his mother, has the rights of the client which include the right to fire his... View More

Hi, your question comes up very often. The first to do is to focus on winning the post-conviction petition. Many states have a rule that the plaintiff (former prisoner) has to establish actual innocence before filing a lawsuit. So, I would focus on that requirement before worrying about a... View More

In Ohio, it is not uncommon for custody battles to end in this ways: 1) the parties come to an agreement that is read into the record in court, 2) the judge then orders an attorney to write up the agreement matching those terms before a specific date in the future and 3) the court set a hearing...

Please don't write in ALL CAPS. It's hard to read. It sounds like the appellate court did one of two things: (1) found that there was no final appealable order, or (2) indicated that without findings of fact and conclusions of law, they didn't have a sufficient record to overturn the... View More

I think I answered this already. Did the tavern have insurance? That should cover the claim, get her an attorney. If the claimant settled, see the release. Otherwise, get a consult from a bankruptcy attorney. That would put the other proceedings on hold.
My wife and I have been seeing an obgyn for several months now and we just got a letter in the mail saying that due to failure to keep a good relationship she is dropping my wife as a patient who is 27 weeks pregnant. We are always nice and respectful to her and the office when we are there.
answered on Jul 23, 2018
Generally, when a doctor says "failure to keep a good relationship," they mean failure to pay the bills. I am aware of no law that requires any doctor to continue seeing a patient really under any circumstances. Emergency rooms have to stabilize folks but that;s about it.

The short answer is yes. You should be free to choose your attorney. Consult your fee agreement to see if it contains any terms addressing termination of the contract. Is some situations, the attorney may assert an interest in any future recovery for the case under the theory of "quantum... View More

The case would be decided on the evidence and testimony that you present in court. The vet would present evidence of giving reasonable care under the circumstances. The court would then decide if you met the burden of proof with a "good case." Small claims court can decide cases... View More

You are probably not too late. Statutes of limitations are measured in years. It is, however, important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible to get the ball rolling on your claim.
