This is great advice if you want to end up with liens on your property. A contractor doesn't have to be "shady" to fail to pay or late pay a sub or supplier. It happens all the time, and the OP's precautions are prudent (and, unfortunately, highly unusual for folks in the OP's position). I do...

First, this site only deals with U.S. legal issues. Second, I encourage you to seek help from a mental health professional. Third... I have no idea what "this kind of thing" means. I've been posting on legal message boards for the better part of the last quarter century (as of the other two...

I'm not sure I understand the question here (if it's a question at all). Obviously, you have to pay your contractor in accordance with the terms of your contract. You'd have to tell us. I have no idea what this sentence (which isn't a question despite the use of a question mark) means...

Define "simple." Define "fast." Obviously, you can get divorced "as quickly as possible." I suggest you google "California summary dissolution" and review the sections of the Family Code cited on the bottom right of the Judicial Council form Joint Petition for Summary Dissolution. You should...

Your options: 1. Accept what happens. 2. Get more aggressive with your efforts to communicate and meet with your attorney. 3. Make a complaint with the State Bar of California. 4. Seek to consult with or retain a new attorney. 5. Fire the current attorney. Keep in mind that making a State...

Your own post indicates that this isn't true. You said you "just went through a . . . deposition." If the accident happened in 2020, that means your statute of limitations would have run out in 2022. When exactly was your lawsuit file? In what county was it filed? I'm not quite sure what...

Your post doesn't raise any legal issues.

Not sure what this means since the only two responses you've received here are references and a link to your post at the other site.

You're not likely to get any different answers here than you did at the other site.

Google "how to choose a criminal defense attorney." This isn't the crime of the century. Getting your former friend to testify in your defense - or, better yet, to speak with the prosecutor before things go too far - will be important.

This thread is more than a decade old.

Then this statement in the original post doesn't make sense: "The court ordered the X to turn in documents in the spring, or they [sic] would start paying my lawyer fees." Why would the court make such a statement if you are self-represented? One of the hardest things for self-represented...

You said you have a lawyer, and these are questions you should be asking him or her - especially since your lawyer knows the timeline, and the only thing you told us is that you filed for divorce nine months ago. FYI, to the best of my knowledge, no lawyers admitted in Connecticut frequent...

Nothing to do with what? Workers' comp provides payment for medical treatment and lost wages resulting from an employee's on-the-job injuries without the need for the employee to prove negligence by the employer. If that's what your attorney was telling you, that's correct. Curious about...

We have no way of predicting how this will be resolved, but reasonable adults ought to be able to resolve something like this without the hassle of court. If you don't communicate, it won't be resolved except in court. The point is that, if you do end up in court, it won't matter that you...
