A motion to vacate based on "evident partiality" is a very tough motion. You need something more than a generalized suspicion that the arbitrator, though he works in the same business as your opponent in the Arbitration, was "evident[ly] partial."
Further, assuming that... View More

You should have an attorney review the contract and other documents that you signed but generally contracts are binding upon the parties and they can't change the terms.

If you are so far in debt and your income is limited you have an absolute right to file a chapter 7 bankruptcy (8 yr between bankruptcy filings). I have a cut off of around $10,000 in debt as when a person really needs to follow up with bankruptcy. If you do not pay they sue you and garnish your... View More
The hospital says they don't have any information about the bill. Can the law firm get an itemized statement from them without my consent?
answered on Mar 22, 2021
I don't understand your question.
If the law firm represents you, then they can request a statement from the hospital with a signed medical release.
If a law firm is trying to collect payment on a hospital bill from you, the law firm can provide you a copy of that bill... View More

It depends on a lot of things. The wording of your decree regarding debt, the timing of the purchases, and whether it is a debit or credit card. I wish I could help you more, but I would hire an attorney to help you clear it up.

Possibly, but not necessarily. You will need to did a little deeper and see if the harm has been satisfied or released.
I have text messages where he stated we would work out rent after the water and plumbing was fixed. Now he is refusing to move forward fixing problems till I pay two months rent that was not our agreement what grounds do I have to stand on?
answered on Jul 31, 2020
Unless you have a written lease agreement the "grounds you have to stand on" are commonly called quicksand. In the absence of a written lease, your landlord can evict you at any time unless you continue to pay rent; withholding rent is a sure-fire way to get evicted.

The Total Loss Threshold is 60% in Oklahoma, the repair costs are currently around $25,000, the vehicle's value is around $37,000-$39,000.
Would they legally have to total it since it is over 60%?
answered on Apr 2, 2020
This is really a question for an Oklahoma attorney, but your post remains open for four weeks. As a general matter without regard to any state-specific considerations, this issue comes up regularly in total loss determinations. Different states may use different thresholds. But where provided for... View More

This is not a legal question; nor is it evidence of odometer tampering. It is a mistake.

When a stolen vehicle is recovered police often call a towing service right away without even trying to contact the owner. Owner has to pay horrendous charges to get their vehicle back. It feels like extortion. No other theft is treated like this. If a citizen finds someones wallet, aren't... View More

I know this doesn't answer your question, but if they find the person who stole your vehicle and charge them, you can demand restitution for all damage to the vehicle and I believe towing and storage services. Upon conviction the person would be required to pay you or face incarceration.
The judgement was defaulted in the amount of $1550, since I didn’t appear because I wasn’t served at all.

Yes but you must file the necessary paperwork immediately and be ready to prove you were in fact not served.
He apparently has sold it or parted it out

There is a larceny by fraud charge that may apply, but it is really more of a civil issue. If the vehicle is $10,000 or less, small claims court may be an inexpensive way to get a judgement on the person and gain access to any assets they may have. Boeheim Freeman Law... 918-884-7791

If you were the contractor, you can file a mechanics and materialmans lien on the property as long as it is not too long after you last worked on the property or supplied materials. Then if they don't pay, you can foreclose the lien.
