You're living in your elderly mother's apartment, not in an apartment you both jointly rent. If the landlord wants you gone, you need to leave. Taking care of your mother doesn't give you tenant rights. If there was a fight between yourself and your mother that was so bad that the police were...
In whose opinion is this case not so serious? Your opinion? The court's opinion? I think you are not taking this matter seriously and that's going to come back and bite you in the butt.
So, the crime was made up on the spot? There has to be a crime on the law books to be charged with it because why would they go forward with charging someone with something that isn't a crime?
If what you did isn't a crime, you wouldn't be facing a trial for it. Your lawyer cannot guarantee that there will be no conviction. That isn't up to your lawyer.
What's wrong with your father? Why would he not carry insurance on his own company? You should not be footing the bill for the company to be in compliance with state and federal law.
What were the reasons they gave as to why they think you should pay them 3 million dollars?
Jeez. What kind of shady contractor did you hire? Hope it's one who knows how to build fireproof homes. Haha. Did you run a background check on your contractor and check that he has a valid contractor's license? Where I live, you can also run a free check for criminal, civil and domestic cases...
You're making this more complicated than it has to be. You are supposed to pay your contractor. Let him worry about paying the subs. You didn't hire them. Your contractor did. Do you have a problem with your contractor?
I suggest you familiarize yourself with all landlord/tenant laws in your state if you're going to rent to a lawyer because you can be sure that he will do the same. You don't want to be at a disadvantage.
