    Medical Malpractice Dental Fraud and Malpractice

    Of the three, the first has the advantage of getting you quick relief for your mouth, and potentially being brought in small claims court. I don't know anything about your medicaid system, but I am surprised your insurance provider can't claw back the payment they made to the dentist for the...

    Being insulted and wrongfully accused as a thief in front of a public auction

    They can probably bar you from the premises for whatever reason they like. If they actually accused you personally of stealing (not just hanging out with someone who was stealing), then they were wrong, and yeah, it's probably defamation. Yeah, you can. You should expect a long and...

    inheritance problems

    Doesn't sound to me like a valid way of transferring property. The property she owned can only be yours if she either gave it to you while she was alive (and I don't see that) or she willed it to you after she died (and I don't see that). I think your sister feels the same way, and she might...

    Lawyer will not return execution.

    Yes, that's generally correct. If it's paid, they can't continue to hold the execution. Send the letter both to the creditor and to the lawyer and tell them that if you're required to go to court to get it released, you'll be seeking costs against them.

    Restitution vs Mortgage

    Keeping your house mortgaged won't do anything other than decrease the equity you have in it. If the homestead exemption doesn't protect, it is unlikely that anything else will. What you need to be concerned about is that the person who has the judgment against you - your uncle, I presume -...

    Professional Malpractice Is it legal for a hospital to have a minor (under 18) examined by a fake ENT doctor/Nurse,

    There are like a bajillion things going on in this question. To disentangle them a little: 1. Forget about the age thing, it's irrelevant. 2. The hospital that you signed a "contract" with might have breached the contract if you didn't get the service they agreed to provide. Without knowing...

    No witnesses

    File the will in the court jurisdiction where he passed away. You should talk to a lawyer. And you should do it ASAP. As I understand Colorado law, you're supposed to do it within 10 days of his passing. If his son won't cooperate, or contests the will, or tries to file a different will...

    Child Abuse, Molestation, Porn Chat trouble

    Buddy phoned into the chat line you were on, and then phoned you, and sent you pictures. You did nothing wrong. Ignore him. If this was legit, they'd be phoning the cops on you, not asking you for money.

    Neglection from security.

    Wait - they were sitting there the whole time this lady was being interviewed by security? And nobody thought to point this out to security? I'm not sure I understand why you think security was negligent here.

    Records

    Depends what the plaintiff is asking for, but assuming that the business is not a party to this action but has some information about the defendant that is relevant to it, and is restricted by some policy from divulging that information without the defendant's consent, then yeah, I guess it...

    inheritance problems

    Two things (and it's been a while, so forgive the formatting...) First, Why are you paying the estate lawyer's fees? Those should be coming out of the estate. Second, Things that were owned by you and the deceased in a "partnership" prior to her death were, basically, 50% owned by her. She...

    A question from a beginner

    The style of cause (the names of the parties) is "Bond v. United States". The official citation to the US Reports (the Supreme Court citation) is "US 564__". You can't cite it as "Bond v. US 564", that's missing half of the style of cause. Citations usually only say "on appeal" or similar if...

    Insurance -landlord won't pay for water damage

    Depending on your insurance, you might or might not be covered. Many retailers' business property insurance policies only cover damage to goods from vandalism, fire, and other specified perils and do not include rain damage. If you think your policy covers your damage, or at least does not...

    can you get sued for a negative review of a lawyer?

    Tax his account. Take it to the court registrar, or whatever equivalent you have there, and tell them you disagree with the bill your lawyer gave you and you want to have it assessed. This works different ways in different jurisdictions, and there may be time limits (like if the account is...

    Child support, from a "child's" point of view

    "It has come to my attention that my child support is not being spent on my child and is in fact being squirreled away by the mother for her future use while the child lives in squalor, and the child would prefer to live with me" doesn't get you anywhere? Huh. In my jurisdiction, the paramount...

    trees on property lines

    There's two general rules here: 1) The owner of the property (i.e. you) that the tree is planted on has the duty to maintain it, and is responsible for damage caused by the tree. 2) The owner of property (i.e. him) becomes the owner of anything that falls from trees onto their property...

    Pari Passu

    To the extent your jurisdiction shares common law principles, the answer is no, obtaining judgment first in time does not give one mortgagee in pari passu any priority claim to the proceeds from the sale of the property. Pari passu mortgages rank equal in priority. Practically, I can't...

    I am a joint tenant in common in a condo. How do I determine a fair 'buy out' price?

    You've already determined. Your house is worth about $300-330K. Do the math. You've got $30-60K in equity, less realtor fees, repaying the credit, etc. If you feel like you need a better idea of what the house is worth, talk to a realtor or get a professional appraisal.

    Child support reduction while in job retraining

    You prepare an affidavit swearing to your new income, attach whatever documentation you have to prove it and showing your enrollment in the course, and apply in court for an order reducing the amount of child support to reflect your income. Exactly how you do that depends on your family court...

    Child support, from a "child's" point of view

    Your situation might not be as hopeless as all that, but it's certainly not good. For one, in some very rare cases, children have been entitled to be the direct recipient of child support payments. I do not know what the law is in Michigan, but in my jurisdiction, the right to benefit from the...
