I paid a lawyer $3500 for a child visitation. He drew up a parenting plan. But the mother and I came to a agreement without the courts. So I told him to take out for the plan and hrs worked and to send back the rest. He basically is giving me the run around and avoiding me. I never signed no... View More

Request, in writing, an itemized time statement. If it is not provided contact the State Bar and look into fee arbitration or small claims court.

Whether your landlord can change the rate "mid-term" in the lease will depend on the language in the lease. If there is no provision allowing for this- then - no, the landlord shouldn't be able to change the rate during the term of the lease.

You might want an attorney to work out a compromise, so that no note deficiency is outstanding. The threat of Chapter 7 Bankruptcy might give you leverage. Also you might record and serve a Notice of Exempt Property.

Possibly. Hire an attorney to examine your contract. You may need to sue for breach in General Sessions.
How far can I be excepted to travel for this and how often can they subpoena me for this? I have no assets so it seems as harassment once they are aware of that. I was sued 4 counties (>100 miles) away in Tennessee in Chancery court.

Without more details it is hard to answer. Look up motions for Protective Orders in Tennessee or you may need to hire a lawyer to file one for you. I am not sure whether you are entitled to relief- but that would be one avenue to approach.

It says buyout on my check that has pay due to me via salary plus a little more.

If you cash the check it will probably be an accord and satisfaction of any debt owed. Either file suit or take the money.
2-fold issue. I sold a car to Carvana 5/16/21 — they failed to register it to the new owner. It's still in my name, has been impounded somewhere in California and also failed to do a back-out with Bridgecrest on the loan. I've received letters from the CA DMV, San Bernadino Police Dept....

Time to retain an attorney. It seems you've hit the wall with Carvana.
Based on the reply I received, I need to add more details. There is no clause in the 2-year lease that says the lease is voided if the property is sold. The new owners are buying the house as an investment with full understanding and agreement as part of the purchase that there is a current tenant... View More

Maybe. You should check the terms of your lease. Sometimes there is a termination on sale clause. If not, the new owner would buy the property subject to the lease.
And no teeth do I have a case? I can't keep walking around like this.

Your insurance policy must be read verbatim in conjunction with your treatment plan. Are the implants covered or not? You will need an attorney to examine the contract and facts. Bad Faith in TN is not very much, so concentrate on Breach of Contract, possibly even in General Sessions.
The lein holder is trying to not honor that amount. Is that legal

A Tennessee attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for four weeks. One would need to see the lien agreement to understand more about the lienholder's reluctance to carrying out its terms. But lien agreements are usually binding.

the contract is null/void because my insurance is paying it out. Is that legal if my settlement amount is less? Can the lien holder disregard that contract
answered on Sep 23, 2022
A Tennessee attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. This requires closer examination than is possible in the limited scope here. It could depend on the type of lien and other possible factors. There are certain liens, such as public health liens, that are subject... View More
I did not have the boat for sale. It was sitting in the yard and the individual approached me. I told him that it would float and start up and run.

Sounds like its his problem now. He had an opportunity to inspect it and it doesn't sound like you concealed the defect. Hopefully your bill of sale says "as is" or with no warranties - even if it doesn't from your brief facts I'd say he wouldn't have a claim against... View More

It is doubtful you have a good case to set aside a Deed for Fraud. But you will need to hire an attorney to check out the facts, witnesses, etc. It may not be worth the trouble, but if you do nothing the property is gone .

No, the Note must be satisfied and the Deed of Trust released. Sometimes Partial Releases are appropriate.

No form is required, but the Release should have the recording information on the Deed of Trust to be released. Also that the Debt is paid in full. Notarization required for recording.

You should probably consult a lawyer to review the contract. If any part of the agreement seems questionable you should make sure of what you are being asked to sign before you sign. There might be more problems than you notice.
