Well, you're likely screwed. In civil cases, the threshold for arguing ineffective counsel are pretty high. It's not even clear that such existed. Your second paragraph makes no sense, particularly the second sentence. Again, there's little obligation for the plaintiff to volunteer up...

In two years, he's free to change his name on his own. Your state doesn't allow a minor name change without the consent of both parents except in certain situations, and the fact that the minor or custodial parent dislike the other parent isn't one of them.

You're not going to force previously undisclosed to be produced and considered at the appeal. The best you can have is show that something that should have been disclosed at the trial was not and get a remand with an order for disclosure. The problem, however, is likely that it's untimely to...

Courts are usually reticent to issue name changes of minors for this purpose. Unless BOTH legal (not step) parents join in the request, it's likely not going anywhere. Oddly, my stepchildren are just as much integral to my family bearing the name of their biological father. They're both in...

You can't patent what has already been patented, period. You can perhaps get a patent on your improvement if they are novel and non-obvious (that is, they meet the basic requirement for patentability). Neither Utility nor Design patents have any renewal or subsequent fees due. Once they're...

There are no "garden variety" misdemeanors. Even one like this can have lasting issues.

There's a lot of things in the common use of the word "harassment" that are not criminal under Nevada (or other states') laws. In order for it to be a crime in Nevada, it must include the threat of injury, damage to property, restraint/confinement, or substantial harm of physical/mental...

The casino is free to ask you to leave. They usually will not just because you are winning as they know in the long run, they'll get it back. If they suspect you are card counting, however, they are free to have you leave or ban you. What they often do however, is change the limits on the...

Fraudulent concealment applies to things prior to the court case. If a party in active civil litigation conceals something they were obligated to present during the case, then there are different sanctions. There's no general obligation for a party in a lawsuit to voluntarily disclose...

Give me a break. If he hadn't assualted people, he wouldn't have felt threatened by the response. No, there is premeditation here. He went looking for a fight. He got one. He's as guilty as sin. No amount of Fox-viewing Trump-sucking racist weasel wording can change that. If you...

Disney (well 20th Century Fox) owns all the trademarks and most of the copyrights as near as I can see. Gracie doesn't create the Simpson's material, they're just the production company.

Anybody can send you cease and desist letters regardless of whether they have a valid claim or not. There's not only copyright but also trademark issues to deal with here. Your best bet would be to run your artwork by an IP attorney.

Hopefully, they haven't had children. That increases the residency requirement to six months. Note that just coming here on a tourist visa will probably not be sufficient. The sense of domicile in Arizona law means not only are you sleeping there but that it is for other than "transient or...

And, you'd still be wrong. We billed by the hour. Of course, they probably block out a fairly large budget for sum matters so the amount of stink one litigant thinks he's going to make is down in the noise.

I wouldn't be too sure. While AT&T may have some in-house counsel, I know they do contract out a bunch of their stuff. I used to work for one of those firms. My brother-in-law was in-house counsel at Verizon as well, and he mostly just supervised their outside counsel.

It would be highly unusual to use conduit behind siding. I spent a long time running fiber data cabling over the years. It doesn't sound like the break had anything whatsoever to do with the fact the cabling wasn't in conduit. It sounds like despite being "careful" he didn't know what he...

I should point out in addition that your title is misleading. A "living will" isn't the will that says how your property is dealt with after your death. It is a colloquialism for an advanced medical directive, which indicates a LIVING person's desires for medical treatment in the event that...

There aren't too many elements to prove here. He was driving a car with a dealer plate and he is not a person that is authorized to do so by the law regarding the use of such plates. He wasn't an employee of the dealer or any of the other people allowed to use the plates. He wasn't driving...

If the stuff from the brother was accurate, he was charged with misuse of the dealer plates. It's just an infraction with a hefty fine.

You pay the fine for operating in the violation of the plate. Your brother deals with the issues of impounded vehicles and possibly losing the tag.
