It might, but there is no way to know for sure until you try it and see what kind of response the company provides, if any. Bear in mind though that what is on the web portal might, in fact, be all the company does have. And if the company has some sharp people on it, whatever you get will...

Although we cannot provide you with specific attorney referrals on this site, you are fortunate in Philadelphia to have two good law schools in your area. Both of them run legal clinics in which civil matters (which is anything that is not a criminal matter) are provided pro bono to low income...

Basically what happens if you have more assets than are allowed to qualify for Medicaid is that Medicaid will deny benefits for a period of time such that the benefits you don't get make up for the extra assets. An inheritance is not income, but it is an asset that will count when determining...

Your lawyer should have informed you of all the consequences of the guilty plea, including registration. Not doing so may amount to malpractice. The problem is that suing for legal malpractice generally must be done within a fairly short period of time from when the malpractice occurred, usually...

That does appear to be the case if the disabled person is under age of majority, which is age 18 in all states but 2 states, neither of which is Ohio. But as you point out, the longer the plaintiff waits the harder the lawsuit will be as available evidence is lost to time, memories fade, and...

I did the search welkin did and came up with thousandss of appellate decisions, most of which won't be useful to you because they don't cover the relevant state's law, which is likely Ohio law as the alleged malpractice occurred in Ohio and that is where the defendants are likely still located...

You are not yet the trustee. Because of that, you have no power over any of the trust assets. And it may well be that the power of attorney your parent gave you is now ineffective due to his incapacity unless that power of attorney is a durable power of attorney. A power of attorney that is not...

There are some potential resources that may be available to you other than a public defender. For example, law schools often run legal clinics in which students studying to become lawyers can handle cases under the supervision of a professor who is licensed to practice law and is an expert in...

Even LexisNexis and Westlaw (by far the two biggest legal information services used by lawyers) don't have much state trial court information. Also, neither of those services are cheap, and without a subscription to the relevant database(s) searching these services on demand is particularly...

I think you are unlikely to find anything close to a complete database with the kind of information you seek. State trial court records are not usually incorporated into national legal databases because (1) they'd not be of interest to most lawyers, let alone the general public and (2) it would...

Well, let's start here. Perjury and defamation are NOT the same thing. One cannot successfully sue a court witness on a claim of defamation for testimony given in that court. But if the witness commits perjury, the state may bring criminal charges for that. Part of understanding the law is...

This forum addresses questions about law in the U.S. You'll need to find one that deals with UK criminal law. I will say this much though: in the U.S. putting your case documents online for the whole world to see is not a good idea, and that's likely true in the U.K. too. It exposes your...

That's overly simplistic, Jack. Whether a deal is offered and the exact details of any offer depends on a lot of factors. But receiving discovery requests is not one of them. Handling evidence requests is a routine part of the job and in every case where an attorney is representing the defendant...

Your options are pleading guilty, pleading not guilty if you have not yet entered a plea, coming up with money to pay a lawyer to represent you, ask for a public defender (PD), or represent yourself. By far the worst of those is the last one: representing yourself. You aren't an attorney and you...

You are union member. If the union has a collective bargaining agreement with the employer then that will play a big part in the outcome. The first things I suggest you do is: (1) inform your shop steward (or whatever name your union calls the person who deals directly with the union members...

Not if the lawyer is willing to make the changes she wants. But to answer your question asked in the title of your thread her poor understanding of English is not a reason the law recognizes for voiding a contract. If one doesn't have a good grasp of English and is presented with a contract...

Her benefits will get offset by the amount of the annuity and any noncountable income she receives. What this means is that by taking the annuity she won't be any worse off in terms of gross income than she is on only SSI. If the annuity is large enough she might not get any SSI benefits at all...

The regulation of banking is detailed and rather more complex than most people realize. There are generally at least two regulators for most banks: the primary regulator (which would be one of several federal agencies or the state) and the FDIC, which insures the deposits held at most banking...

Why did you wait so long to go to start enforcing the judgment. In the world of collecting, one of the common things I see is that the longer a creditor lets it sit, the less likely that creditor is to get anything because other creditors will have already beat the creditor to grab whatever...

Sure. In some states it may be a county office that is charged with task, or it may be the city. Or, as my state, a little mix of the two.For example, I seem to recall that some dates have the cities do it if the city is a home rule city, and the county does it for any part of the county that is...
