    Being sued by an attorney for fees for not doing anything

    2 years ago a local very small town attorney reviewed a slander/libel case for me. He said he could help me and wanted to "see the hospital administrator get what's coming." He wanted all the information to review. At this time no retainer was signed, no discussion of fees. He reviewed...

    Is it time for a new Lawyer and other questions

    During a pre-trial conference my attorney and I offered my wife a settlement offer, part of which her attorney agreed to (850.00/month child support). I just wanted her to go away, get a quick divorce and move on with my life/kids. At that time I could afford that, however, I have lapsed due to...

    “Joint Custody” vs “Joint Physical Custody” in New York

    Hi, understand fully what you are going through. I myself am legally separated since May 2009. We have "joint legal and physical custody" with "equal placement." Neither is the "custodial" parent. In the past two years our rotation has been based on my work schedule. (I work 2 1/2 days per...

    When will it end

    Last pre-trial meeting with the attorneys (Supreme Court) the attorneys were kicked out by the Judge. My expectation is that they should know what the judge will require, that is a whole other issue. We had a legal separation that looked like it would not hold up due to a technicality...

    Judge disregards rules of evidence

    Hiya Army Judge. Well I couldn't hire the lawyer for this case as I'm spent going thru a divorce. However, did my homework and the Supreme Court Judge vacated the lower courts judgement! I thought that it would have been impossible. As I prepared I thought about what you said earlier, but...

    Judge disregards rules of evidence

    Well said. Thanks. Often my patients bring in copies of stuff from the internet:) And often they tried a remedy that wasn't applicable or didn't work.

    Judge disregards rules of evidence

    Legal Separation and now she wants it all. Except the kids.

    Thanks. I go to court tomorrow for a preliminary hearing. I do have a good lawyer (well I think she's good). Still, though its a billion dollar industry and I always fear for the worst. Oh, and you're right about using my feelings, she needed extra money "for bills" and me wanting her...

    Judge disregards rules of evidence

    Actually I am scheduled for an appeal at NY Supreme Court, but the appeal process is narrow as it looks for any law that was not followed, considered etc. They will not retry the case. However, the initial "trial" was supposed to be electronically taped, but was not. My question really was to...

    Judge disregards rules of evidence

    I was a defendant in a small claims case. I was a partner in a now defunct LLC which auctioned off all its assets. At the court hearing the judge listened to the plaintiff while I was out of the room. I entered and was not allowed to state much and not able to cross examine any of the...
