Judges can change on a case. That is not unusual. As to the defense lawyer- in order to "quit" an order of withdrawal must be entered by the court. I can't tell from your post whether you are the Plaintiff or Defendant and I would need more information to comment further.

You can identify the driver and the vehicle. This is a crime. Call back to talk to a desk sergeant, to see why no one has called you back.

The first issue is to look at your contract. Look for areas where the contractor did not fulfill the terms. The next is to look for time limitations to bring actions.

Short answer--mom is liable if she--via you--allows someone to park an animal known to have bitten people in her her backyard, with no lock on gate etc. What if dog gets out? Bad news.

Only if there's a reason that someone else caused you to fall--if you just tripped and fell, it's on you.

A good attorney should tell you if this is a fair amount and if not why- without charging you.for an initial consulatation. If this happened... View More

No. You may catch a trespaser but the trespaser can sue you for any injury. If you set beartraps to deter people you will likely be liable for injuries. Fences, barriers and signs. Placing video and outdoor cameras may help you identify.
