I see no cause of action. Without a written contract, statute of frauds is violated. Even an equitable remedy for unjust enrichment would not lie. Even if the plaintiff got a default judgment in Sessions Court, it would be set aside or uncollectable.

There are hundreds of search and seizure cases out there, published and nonpublished. This forum would not work. If you have a criminal charge then hire an attorney to move to suppress evidence for an illegal stop/seizure.

That will be a very difficult case of negligence. You will have to have experts to testify and you will have to prove damages. Do not wait past 6 months from the false test to get a lawyer. Start calling now.

It sounds like you need an attorney to represent you. If the other side gets a judgment against you, they are going to try to collect it. You can probably get away with filing a Counter Claim for the property tort damages on your Appeal De Novo.
In TN ,I was arrested for harassment, (a false accusation). and have yet to seek council. If I enter a plea of "Not-Guilty", and the victim is a no-show in court that day, would the charges against me be dropped and case be dismissed?

Sometimes yes, and sometimes the State gets a continuance to get the witness there. Hire a lawyer to deal with it. You do not want a permanent conviction.
I sued someone for breach of contract. This individual has 10 days to appeal. If they don't appeal and I still don't get my money I sued for, when and how do I follow through with a writ of possession?

If you filed a detainer action and sought possession of property you had leased- at the end of 10 days, you can request a writ of possession from the Clerk.

It sounds like your lawyer needs to get in gear. There should be multiple defendants involved, and discovery needs to be enforced by the Court. It sounds like forgery is involved. Subpoenas against financial institutions must meet several statutory requirements.

You will need to hire an attorney to sue the parents for damages. Any Judgment may not be collectable, so study your defendants carefully. Apparently no restitution was ordered, but did you go to Juvenile Court? You should of.

You have to cross examine the LEO when he testifies against you. Does not sound like heresay for all of those facts, but probably some of it is. Without an arrest I doubt enough damages exist for a civil rights suit. Some other lawyer might want to sue, but I would not.
A default judgement has been entered - but I had a baby mere days before the hearing - and no counsel to request continuance. Default judgement was granted and order was issued. Do I file a motion to set aside judgement or go ahead and appeal?

File the motion to set aside the default judgment. If denied, then appeal.

What is your question? Apparently this is a complicated matter, and it does not appear you have standing. Insurance Fraud is a tort, and would not be involved in the Estate. Do you have damages? If not, no cause of action. Consult with an attorney.
