Can I sue the county for not correcting the mistaken records on my background stemming from their entries on the wrong person as it's affecting jobs!

Answered a year and 11 months ago by attorney Tristan Nicolas Legrande | 1 Answer

It would be difficult to succeed on a lawsuit, but you could pay an attorney to file one. Most attorneys in a civil matter such as this would charge a retainer fee, then deduct per hour from the retainer as the case went along. It is highly doubtful any lawyer would take any case of this type on a contingency fee (where you pay nothing up front and the lawyer only gets paid if you win. That is almost exclusively physical injury cases). You may be able to take steps with the agencies with the records to ensure they are not erroneously mis-identifying you. A lawyer could help you accomplish this.... Read More

Answered 3 years and 4 months ago by attorney David Kennedy Bifulco | 1 Answer

While they can still sue you for the damage, you will be able to present proof that they knew about the damage and accepted your repair as settlement of their claim. Based on your information you have a defense to a claim they might bring. Whether you are successful or not will depend on the presentation to the Court and the Judges decision.... Read More

Do I need a civil attorney to file a complaint against a judge?

Answered 3 years and 6 months ago by Matthew R. Nahrgang (Unclaimed Profile) | 1 Answer

Generally, government employees are immune from suit for conduct during their official capacity. That is clearly the case here. Rather, your remedy is an appeal of the Order that you believe was entered without due process. However, a case cannot proceed unless there is proof of service upon you. Accordingly, I suggest contacting the county sheriff to ask for proof of service. You may be able to file a Motion to Reconsider, but please note there is a strict time line for any such action and you should act promptly, certainly within 30 days of the Order. I trust this answers your questions, but you are welcome to call or email me on a free initial basis. Matthew R. Nahrgang, Esquire 35 Evansburg Road, Ste 400 Collegeville, PA 19426 610 489-3041 o 610 489-3042 fax mnahrgang@verizon.net nahrganglaw.com ... Read More
