1. Your son did not consent and the manager assaulted your son.

Your exact percentage depends on how the deed was worded. If it was a joint tenancy with right of survivorship, you own the entire property. If it was tenancy in common, you own your portion plus a portion of your parents part if they died without wills. Schedule a free consultation to have your... View More

You are correct in your reading of the redemption laws. However, there have been some cases, through appellate courts, that have given the person who lost their property, via tax sale, that were given a 2-year redemption period if the property was their last home. Regardless of whether or not, they... View More

A worker is an employee if the purchaser of that worker's service has the right to direct or control the worker, both as to the final results and as to the details of when, where, and how the work is done. Control need not actually be exercised; rather, if the service recipient has the right... View More

Yes. The statute of limitations has not yet expired.
But the length of time between the assault and report may very well cause law enforcement not to forward your case to the district attorney and may very well cause the district attorney not to file the case unless there is a very good... View More

Your "belief" alone is not enough.
Get an examination by a different OB/GYN for the purpose of obtaining a medical opinion whether you were given an extra, medically unnecessary stitch in the procedure to close the perineal tear. If you were in fact given an extra, medically... View More

It depends on how the deed with your mother and sister on it was written. If they were on the deed as joint tenants with right of survivorship, you do not have any interest in the property as it would have passed entirely to your sister at the time of your mother's death. If they were on the... View More

No, this is not normal. The fact that the law firm sued the wrong person in the first place is your first clue that the lawyer handling the case on behalf of the plaintiff is careless. The fact the lawyer waited until the last day to serve disclosures and did a poor job is another.
