    Animal Injury, Dog Bite Representing myself: should I request Dismissal or reply with the Answer form?

    Of course not, but the way they went about it was blatantly underhanded....by referring me to a super expensive attorney when they knew I'm on a very low income. They did not apologize for that, either, when I called them on it. The SF Bar claims to be of assistance to the poor and vulnerable...

    Animal Injury, Dog Bite Representing myself: should I request Dismissal or reply with the Answer form?

    He doesn't know yet that I'm judgment proof. But I'll let him know come Monday, via email. Fine with me, 'cause I'm 72 years old with nothing of material value to my name...I prefer to live simply. I appreciate your explanation. The dog bite is alleged, not proven yet, and I doubt it will...

    Animal Injury, Dog Bite Representing myself: should I request Dismissal or reply with the Answer form?

    I don't think so, their website doesn't state the limitations of their services in such a strict fashion. They knew my case is civil (personal injury), accept my $35 initial consultation fee, knowing my low income on Social Security, then set me up to speak with an attorney a few days later. I'm...

    Animal Injury, Dog Bite Representing myself: should I request Dismissal or reply with the Answer form?

    Yes, I know that. I just can't find any clinic with law students who will handle a Personal Injury case. My last hope is the LARC workshop next week, where they give people a 20 minute free counseling session. But I'm afraid that they, too, might not deal with Personal Injury lawsuits, as their...

    Animal Injury, Dog Bite Representing myself: should I request Dismissal or reply with the Answer form?

    Seriously? According to Being Sued - money_selfhelp "proof of service" involves: "To serve the plaintiff with a copy of your response, have someone 18 or older (not you and not involved in the case), mail a copy to the plaintiff. If the plaintiff is represented by a lawyer, a copy of your...

    Animal Injury, Dog Bite Representing myself: should I request Dismissal or reply with the Answer form?

    Got it, thanks. Got it, thanks again. Good to know, I had no idea...you just answered one of my questions that I couldn't find via legal resources, including law libraries. Plaintiff's Attorney also gave me his email, which he DOES reply to quickly, as I requested another copy of the papers...

    Animal Injury, Dog Bite Representing myself: should I request Dismissal or reply with the Answer form?

    Got it. Thank you for being so direct and honest. The allegations are so outrageous, they very much make the Plaintiff look like he's just angling for a lawsuit in order to collect a pile of moolah. That is why my denials MUST be heard. So, if I represent myself and wish my denials to go on...

    Animal Injury, Dog Bite Representing myself: should I request Dismissal or reply with the Answer form?

    I get it now, yes, that was the term my eviction attorney used. So, even though I'm judgment proof, another lawsuit could pop up, possibly eviction and even arrested and/or putting the dogs down...assuming the false allegations stand, and I haven't been allowed to declare my denials, right? The...

    Animal Injury, Dog Bite Representing myself: should I request Dismissal or reply with the Answer form?

    That is correct. Been doing that with no luck, as none of them handle personal injury cases, except possibly one, called LARC. They provide 20 minute legal counseling the third Friday of each month, and that's all she wrote. So I have to wait until the 21st to go there...and I don't really...

    Animal Injury, Dog Bite Representing myself: should I request Dismissal or reply with the Answer form?

    I wish that were so, but I've already looked into all the options available, with no luck. While I'm certainly eligible for a pro bono attorney via the SF Bar, they wound up screwing me over. I first applied for a lawyer via their online form which asked for my monthly income. Then a few days...

    Animal Injury, Dog Bite Representing myself: should I request Dismissal or reply with the Answer form?

    I would certainly prefer to have a chance to present my denials, since the lawsuit is clearly frivolous...just a hateful person looking to grab a hunk of money. However, wouldn't they drop me from the case once they know I can't be sued, due to my poor financial/no assets status? This is a...

    Animal Injury, Dog Bite Representing myself: should I request Dismissal or reply with the Answer form?

    Thank you, but I've already done that days ago, thoroughly pored over the entire contents. And I now know how to do that, but since I have to represent myself, new questions have popped up, which I'm finding difficult to discover the answers.

    Animal Injury, Dog Bite Representing myself: should I request Dismissal or reply with the Answer form?

    I don't see WHERE you get the idea that my attitude is "cavalier," and I never declared the dog's have ANY ability to cause injury. The accusation of a dog bite is FALSE, as are a list of other grievances. The Plaintiff never approached me that day he claims the attack occurred, to show me this...

    Animal Injury, Dog Bite Representing myself: should I request Dismissal or reply with the Answer form?

    Arrgh, sorry. I copy/pasted my OP from another website, not noticing they were formatted in bold italics. Won't happen again! I see now, I used the wrong term. I know the Plaintiff can't collect any money from me, due to my low income status where my only income is Social Security, and I have...

    Animal Injury, Dog Bite Representing myself: should I request Dismissal or reply with the Answer form?

    Thank you for a speedy reply. I get what you're saying, so I'm wondering if I need to inform Plaintiff's Attorney now, that I am immune to being sued. I don't know how to go about that, since the many legal resources I've found so far don't cover that, including the local law library, as well as...

    Animal Injury, Dog Bite Representing myself: should I request Dismissal or reply with the Answer form?

    Thank you for your reply. I have no renter's insurance, I have no income other than Social Security, and I have no assets, not even a vehicle. If Motion to Dismiss does not include allowing my financial/no assets status to relieve me from all charges, then isn't there some other process to do...

    Animal Injury, Dog Bite Representing myself: should I request Dismissal or reply with the Answer form?

    Army Judge: Thank you for such an informative reply. I have no income except Social Security, and no assets (not even a car). I have already been assured by my eviction attorney that I am immune to being sued, because of that. But since this second case is civil, she can't help me with it, I...

    Animal Injury, Dog Bite Representing myself: should I request Dismissal or reply with the Answer form?

    I live in San Francisco, and the case is being handled entirely in that county. I am being sued for more than $25,000 for a personal injury claim. I must be my own attorney because, even though I clearly qualify for free legal assistance, the services that provide that either don’t deal with...
