If a lawyer knows I'm desperate, can he tell me he "runs the show", and will not do what I need otherwise he says to "fire him"? He has literally speeded up my eviction instead of prolonging it which is up in a few days(He forgot to notify Sheriff of Stay/OSC, so they served the warrant). I need to put in an opposition to lies n prejudicial statements n he will not do it n I'm not allowed unless he signs something
 
I am tagging @Michael who is a NY attorney and site Administrator. It will likely be a few days till he responds.

I would like to ask some clarifying questions:
Are you in NYC?
Why are you being evicted?
 
NYS
I lost everything including my retail store in a constructive trust case against my daughter, after many yrs when her new boyfriend found out they were in her name, they wanted to sell everything n get the money, which now her father jumped into also, so that's why she's evicting me from my store because the buyer is waiting.
They're claiming now that my store has not been open so I want to show the deposition(from trial) where she knows my store is open n letters or receipts n also a police assisted illegal breakin which is on the bodycam of officer from March even before evicting me.

The OSC/stay it's over Friday the 31st, so I really needed to get an affirmation to their opposition papers in

I am literally fighting a corrupt system and have every single thing to prove it, but her lawyer is the town judge as well as another town and my trial judge was his boss/ administrative judge of the whole judicial system for my area

I have the transcripts from the eviction which was only a few minutes, the judge says "you're not going to argue this I've already made my decision", no trial no legal proof. It shouldn't have even been in a local Court because it's not a landlord tenant relationship, so by rights it should have been an ejectment case, also I was never served so they lied about that along with everything else.

Legal services won't help me because of the store, I've tried hundreds of calls even senior citizen programs, no one will help me. I've even tried all kinds of News, hoping to get an investigative reporter and nothing and my health is bad so I can't physically go out there and try to find anyone. This lawyer that I should be grateful for, bullies me like you can't imagine

I probably said too much and I'm sorry for that, it's just unbelievably frustrating, sad, Etc there are no words to describe any of this I think because of my health and age people don't care!

Thanks for taking the moment to even hear me!! It's so complex (many things i didnt say) that it would discourage or overwhelm any lawyer
 
1 - The business is in your daughter's name. That means she owns it and you don't. Why did you do that?

2 - A commercial eviction is seriously different from a residential eviction. You don't have anywhere near the protection or rights of a residential eviction.

3 - I don't know if this will help you or not but read the following article on Commercial Eviction in NY. Might be something in there that you can discuss with your lawyer.

 
My husband at the time was running mortgage scams with her now lawyer, they wanted to use my store property because they could only use free and clear properties, I didn't know any better and put them in my daughter's name thinking they would be safe and they were until she met this boyfriend.
My store property also has a separate 3 bedroom house (in 2021 I asked her if she would want to live in the 3 bedroom rent free and help me with shopping and doctors, so that's where she still lives now) n the business is not in her name just the property that's why she has to evict me. But my other property which I have the guy who always took care of my properties living in (used to be my mothers) for many many years, she is evicting him also. Which he also does not have a landlord tenant relationship with her
All the eviction papers for my store n where the guy lives for some reason have his name along w mine on both.

Unfortunately this lawyer who has been helping me, has been hurting me n bullying me, which is why I started this post. I 100% know more then he does and would have filed the OSC 2 months ago, (especially before a warrant was ever signed) but he would not do it, then when it was finally done and signed a week ago he forgot to give it to the sheriff! And it is retroactive from the day he posted it! I would and could have done all this part but I cannot do the trial or the court proceedings, I do not know how to speak or question and I get way too nervous, that is the only reason I've been allowing him to hurt me, I have tons of texts and emails begging him to help me and he just ignores it all. I really don't know why he's doing it I know he definitely is a retired lawyer, but he should be honest and own what he's doing to me. Either help me or stop. I can easily go down on my own without the help of a supposed lawyer doing it for me and I have a better chance if I let the court know the illegal things that they're doing to me. One of many is filed an appeal over 2mos ago on the eviction w the local court, they was supposed to file it with the county court and they are over a month late n still have not sent it to the county court! They are waiting for the eviction to happen so I have nothing to appeal! But if no one holds them accountable, just like the police breaking in to my store without any judges warrant or eviction, I tried to file a FOIL and they literally refused it! Although I did get to see the police cam 8min video and it definitely shows what he did!

Another huge thing, the trial judge who went against me from day one even though I met all the elements of a constructive Trust with tons of proof, is also the judge that took over for my eviction, the appeal when it happens and I filed an "adverse possession" along with "notice of pendency". I would think it's a gross misjustice for her to have any of it especially since she dismissed my "Constructive Trust" with prejudice! A good lawyer would probably be able to put them all under the table and get all the truth out!

Do you know of any investigative reporter that I can possibly try? Or a lawyer??
 
If they had more money I would in a heartbeat I'm in debt for what I have paid and also sold all my gold
Also, I would not let this lawyer treat me this way if I could hire a lawyer! He knows that and threatens me with it, and I have many time said to him "that you're going to get mad at me if I don't do what you want" and no relationship should be that way especially a lawyer that's supposed to be helping you
