You can't legally sell that which you don't own, and you don't appear to own the vehicles. Was your father's estate probated, with the titles to the two vehicles transferred to you? If not, then you can't legally sell the vehicles. If title has been transferred to you, then you can sell them...

You didn't answer most of the questions I asked, but you can simply request an extension to respond from the attorney who served the RFPD or subpoena. And I'll repeat and clarify what both Zigner and I previously said: you are only obligated to produce that which is in your possession, custody...

That is incorrect. In a diversity case (which is what cases under 28 U.S.C. section 1332 are called), the court will apply the substantive law of the state where it is located. That's irrelevant. If the federal court has diversity jurisdiction (all plaintiffs are citizens of different states...

More time to do what?

Who is the trustee of the trust? Who is/are the defendant(s) in the lawsuit? Are the defendants represented by an attorney? What cause(s) of action are alleged? The question doesn't really make sense. Did the attorney serve you with a subpoena or request for production of documents...

Not sure off the top of my head where to find it, but the federal court system publishes statistics, on a district-by-district basis, regarding things like average time from filing to disposition. My recollection of the last time I looked is that most districts were in the 15-26 month range. I...

In any future posts, please try to use proper capitalization and punctuation. Ellipses aren't all purpose punctuation. Why would the police have any involvement in this at all? It's obviously correct that the house IS this guy's residence. As noted in the prior response, Texas recognizes a...

Since it doesn't sound like either of you has been a resident of Maine for many years, that's not an option. Since you're no longer a resident of any U.S. state, you'll have to get divorced in Australia where you live or in your husband's state of residence (which appears to be Florida). You...

As the prior response noted, you didn't ask a question, so the purpose of your post is unclear. Were you a state employee? Or did you work for a private company that had a contract with the state? I'm confident that none of the several attorneys with whom you consulted simply told you, "I...

That's almost certainly incorrect. You described the lease as "a month-to-month lease with two roommates." Month-to-month leases don't "end," so I don't know what you mean by the statement that "the lease has ended." Even if it isn't a month-to-month lease, a standard lease for a term will...

In addition to what the prior response noted, whether in the UK or the U.S., reliable advice about a pending criminal matter cannot come from anonymous strangers on the internet. Get yourself an attorney.

It is? To which "tenant rights or housing laws" are you referring? When multiple tenants lease residential real property, the tenancy exists - and all tenants remain bound - until such time as (1) all tenants vacate the premises and the tenancy is terminated or (2) one tenant leaves and all...

I may have been confusing this with another small claims thread. Thanks.

No. California superior court case records do not come up when one's name is googled, unless the case has been picked up by a third-party reporting service, but I'm not aware of any service that indexes small claims records. While I can't say I'm familiar with the practices of every one of...

I think you meant that the opposing party served responses that you don't like for the reasons stated. I also think (a) means that, in your opinion, the answers to the interrogatories weren't responsive. As for (c), in more than 30 years in the legal field, I've never seen a set of...

Are you serious? Of course you could get in trouble. Also, since you admitted to a crime in a public forum (using a screen name that appears to be a real name), you might want to ask the mods to delete this thread.

Just FYI, there is no pretrial discovery in California small claims court.

It is, but so what? Hundreds of thousands of lawsuits have been filed in your lifetime. How many documents filed in those cases have you read (excluding cases in which you were a party or otherwise involved)? If you're claiming that the declaration in question could, theoretically, cause you...

You are using the word "exhibit" incorrectly. What I think you're talking about is commonly referred to as a demonstrative. It's not itself an exhibit (or evidence or any sort); rather, it's a visual summary of the evidence. The clearer you can make things for the small claims judge (who may...

No. That is correct. The lawyer and client could agree to a different arrangement, but a standard retainer agreement would call for the lawyer to send monthly invoices, and those invoices would typically look like the following: 1/2/2024 - Emails w/ client re lawsuit - 0.3 hrs - $150.00...
