We have a debt that has been assigned to an attorney's office and the firm has filed a civil complaint against my wife.

I am sorry but I just need to vent about a legal frustration I am dealing with. I fell like the system is broken. I am being sued and don't understand many of the documents that are being sent to me by the plaintiff's law firm. I understand that it is strongly suggested that I get a lawyer to...

I recently received a Motion for Summary Judgment in the mail. The problem is that the information contained in the document is written with such THICK legalese that I don't understand it. I caught a part where they say I have not responded to their previous letters. The problem there is that...

This is a little different request than what is normally posted in this section. My question is regarding improving the rights of tenants. Right now, at least in the state of Utah, there is only one law on the books protecting the rights of a tenant. This law is about deposits and the procedure...

I noticed there are no posts in this forum and hope someone will at least see this one. I am very interested in going to law school. As an undergrad I had several professors who strongly suggested I go on to law school. Although, in researching potential schools I find the price of tuition...

My brother was involved in an accident about a month ago where another car forced him off the road into a cement barrier. The other driver never stopped. The insurance company had him take his car to a shop (they claim it is the only shop within 100 miles they will work with) for an estimate...

I had a repo guy call me yesterday morning and identify himself as an inspector with the courts in order to obtain my current address. He later showed up at my house in an unmarked black pickup truck with two of his friends and tried to take my car. He didn't have any paperwork at all. I...

Rents have been paid, there is no money owing, and I received no notice of any problem, yet the landlord cut the lock off of my storage unit, entered and inspected the unit and left the unit unlocked leaving my broken lock laying on the ground. Is this breaking and entering even if the...

This post was made to a Mustang forum - http://www.bmcforums.com/showthread.php?t=42402 Members of this forum are trying to publish a calendar with pictures of their personal vehicles and the Ford legal department is blocking them saying it is an infringement of Ford's copyright and trademark...

I have a contract with a local mechanic to perform some repairs on a vehicle of mine in exchange for a classic car I own. As a stipulation, he requested that the classic be stored in his shop as collateral on the deal. The work he performed is seriously under par and he has now violated the...
