While is a horrible event, without damages there is no claim. You need to speak to an attorney who handles such claims to see what... View More

A Mississippi attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. Only a local attorney could advise meaningfully on local laws. But as a general point that applies nationwide, until you are able to consult with a local attorney, motions do warrant a response (and generally... View More

In the State of Mississippi, for civil litigation, it is outlined in MRCP Rule 6 (Time) how to compute time. It mentions if the amount of time is less than 7 days, intermediate Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays are excluded from the time period. It does not mention verbatim an other time... View More

The time does include weekends and holidays; however, the rules also speak to whether the deadline to file an answer falls on a weekend or recognized holiday.

A Mississippi attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. It's difficult to predict what could happen in this situation because it is a somewhat unconventional way to sell or transfer a car. There are some loose ends here in terms of ownership, insurance, and... View More

Ask the case administrators at the firm what further information is necessary. This might be something where more than... View More
My boyfriend is a married man I’ve been dating him for 12 years

Likely not. Even if he is your boyfriend, if he is critically ill and married, more than likely only his wife will have expressed permission to continue using the card.

A Mississippi attorney would be best qualified to address your question, but your post remains open for three weeks. At this point, reach out to attorneys if you were injured in the fall. Most attorneys would give a free initial consult for this type of accident, and if they determined that you had... View More

I went to court and received an Abstract of Judgement for $2700. Defendant said he was going to pay me $15 a month. What should I do?
answered on Jan 13, 2019
You may want to consider filing a motion for examination of judgment debtor so that you can review his finances and have the court order the payment from the defendant's assets.
And any information obtained still will be used for that purpose

That means that the judgment was renewed, and will continue to be enforced until you satisfy the judgment.
I have the receipts for my prorated rent and security deposit that I never got back. I want to take her to court over the deposit and to pay for my hotel lodging since wrongful eviction. Do I have a case with no Written lease?
answered on Aug 27, 2018
The default in Mississippi is month to month, such that the landlord has to provide a month's notice before terminating said lease, unless, however, you have broken a condition of the oral lease, such as not turning in rent in enough time.
Applied to judgment roll.
Manufactured 2015, purchased 2016, tandem trailer with axles > 2000lbs gvw each was sold to me without brakes (unbeknownst to me). Is there any course of action I can take with the dealer (to get the brakes installed at least at their cost, perhaps)? What would be the legal recourse?... View More
answered on Jul 8, 2018
When you buy a trailer or any similar product, you should always do so by getting a written contract. You then need to read the contract and see what you are buying, and if it matches what you thought you were buying. If it does not, you should not sigh it. If there is no written contract, then...

answered on Apr 2, 2018
Potentially. You will need to consult an attorney to discuss your case. One of the things that I am curious about is whether you went through the process of being emancipated. If that is the case, then any child support should be sent to you, as it is meant to be used for your benefit, and no one... View More

Typical litigation case. You should consult with your lawyer to see what he wants to do. If you want a second opinion on a case or change your lawyers to better manage your case than don't hesitate to reach out for a free consultation with an attorney.
How should I go about handling this? I was headin south and he was heading north. Where in the law does it says he is responsible for all damages?
answered on Oct 4, 2017
If the damage is due to their negligence then you would recover the amount of the damages at trial. Going through the trouble to get to trial is the issue. Call an attorney who practices in this area, if the damages are substantial or the driver has insurance there may be options an attorney would... View More
