My Wife's mother lives in Indiana, we live in Tennessee. She is stating that she is able to sue us for Filial Law so that we have to support her??
You have not been sued nor served yet, so no suit exists at this time. When you get sued, if ever, then you will need an Indiana Attorney. Hopefully whatever is the disposition will not be enforceable here. If a judgment goes down there, then you need a very competent Tennessee attorney to... Read more »
I had an income property in Gatlinburg Tennessee area, that was managed as a vacation rental by a mgmt company for many years. The mgmt company closed without notice and although I have sold the property, by their own paperwork and admission the management company still owes me for 2months of... Read more »
You would need to be prepared to appear in court. You could hire counsel to file the paperwork and appear for you. And in the event that the defendant fails to appear, you could obtain a default judgment. But if a plaintiff or plaintiff's attorney fails to appear the case would most likely be... Read more »
Isn't there an implied warrenty that the computer works and how can I get my money back?
Look at the paperwork with your purchase- look to see if they sold the computer "as is." If not then you would be correct. But also, you may want to talk to a computer expert- an expert may be able to unlock the computer for you.
The question is vague. She would be wise to hire local counsel to determine her best course of action.
I am not recommending one way or the other that you subpoena the dentist. And you should be aware that physicians and dentists are exempt from subpoenas to trial and can recover costs and attorney's fees (TCA 24-9-101). Doctors are not immune from subpoena to a deposition. But if you want to... Read more »
what do I do if an firm is holding money owed to me in a IOLTA and refuses to give info or release funds. The attorney who represented me now has his own firm and they have shut him out and will not provide him info after promising to release monies owed to me. I have been in this battle for over 1...

Contact the Tennessee Board of Professional Responsibility ( this is the board that governs lawyers). This office can assist you with complaint or disputes with your attorney.
She was not intoxicated. This could severely affect her and her son. Is this slander or defamation of character?
No, statements made in court are generally not actionable as defamation.
Not sure what the collateral is. But you may need to hire a competent attorney to file suit. It has to do with the value of the collateral as to whether it is worth the trouble. The Fair Debt Collection Act might give you some relief, as well as a set of TN Consumer Protection Statutes.
It is an aggregate driveway, scratches a few cenminters deep, we have one quote. Insurance says they don't replace cosmetic. Offered $500, our quote is for $3,000.
If you are referring to your insurance coverage you may be right. You can check your policy. But have you made a claim against the delivery company. If they were negligent, and you didn't sign a release, then the delivery company may be responsible and their liability is not limited... Read more »
She has signed no agreement or paid any rent. She has been there almost 3 years. Will I have trouble evicting her at a later date?
3 years is the SOL. Few persons know that. I suggest filing the Detainer Warrant for Possession Only now. Let her defend herself. At worst you will need a very competent attorney that knows what Ejectment is. Act fast or it could be a very expensive and difficult problem.
The towing company gave me a $75 quote on towing service and I accepted. Once they got there, they said it was going to be harder than they had expected to get my car out of a ditch. They also needed to call a police offer to direct traffic. Before the officer arrived and before they even towed my... Read more »
To start, it sounds like you originally had an oral contract for your vehicle to be towed for $75. As such, generally speaking, the towing company was required to tow your vehicle for the agreed upon price. The price is usually offered based on the distance that the vehicle will be towed and the... Read more »
Tow company recieved fraudulent facts from property owner, did not comply with owner notifications rules nor rules set forth regarding sale
It is doubtful you will obtain a criminal prosecution of anyone involved, although you can try as the victim. But normally your remedy is pretty much limited to suing the Towing Co. for Conversion. You may be able to do this yourself in General Sessions Court or you might hire an attorney.... Read more »
and bleeding on the brain i had surgery to stop the bleeding a couple wks. later im curious now if i have a valid case
This question looks familiar and I think I answered it earlier. There aren't enough details to make any kind of meaningful legal analysis here. If you want to learn whether you have a case that holds merit, arrange a consultation with a Tennessee attorney. They could request and review your medical... Read more »
Emergency room ran no test ..another Dr.said i have fracture skull n bleeding on the brain...
You'd get the best input from a Tennessee attorney, but your question remains open for two weeks. From the description, it's difficult to tell exactly what happened. At any rate, it's unlikely that an emergency room ran no test(s). You could arrange a consultation with a Tennessee attorney who... Read more »
If the buyer wants your home and your assets, you can sell it to him. Later the future Judgment Creditor can sue to set aside those conveyances in fraud of known creditors. You may wish to contest the civil action against you, or attempt to lessen the damages. Hire a very competent attorney who... Read more »
Can I start turning?
The Rule of the Road is that you cannot move into the intersection if there is an impending hazard. You can turn left onto a one way road at a stop sign. Do not go half way out into the intersection.

If you believe your mother is being physically or emotionally abused or being taken advantage of financially, contact your local Adult Protective Services office.
Sorry, but there is no "easy answer" to this: If you needed surgery, would you attempt to do it to yourself? Almost everyone says no, they would hire a professional to perform this service. However, rather than hire a lawyer, people will attempt complicated procedures and risk unfortunate... Read more »
WEALTHBUILDER Trade Mark
You chose good categories, but what you describes sounds like trademark infringement. Try reposting in the Trademark (and maybe Intellectual Property) category(s). It would have a better chance of being seen by an attorney who is knowledgeable in this area. Good luck

Speaking of a Music Publishing Contract. (Entertainment Law).
I am anticipating from your question that a party is suspending performance or request for performance for an indefinite period of time - I don't have enough information to respond to your question and the contract and facts would probably control the answer. If the contract provides that either... Read more »
