No offense, but despite your perception that "you feel you are competent to represent yourself", unless you have a law degree  and several years of trial experience, I suspect that you will ultimately find yourself outgunned by the lawyer hired by the business entity you reference. That you dont even know what "forms" to file, supports this directly. This is especially so if the exposure you describe is $100,000.00, where the expense of defending the case is warranted. If your claim is truly $100,000.00 and an easy case(no experience needed), as you seem to believe, you will be well served to hire a lawyer on an hourly basis as this will likely save you quite a bit in the long run. On the other hand, if your assessment that his is an "easy case" sutiable for a first time trial lawyer to win for you is wrong, no competent lawyer will be interested in such a case with a fee proposed that is less than 1/3 of most contingent fee litigation cases, while you presumably expect the lawyer to bear all the litigations expenses and risk of non-payment for his services. To be clear, I think you clearly underestimate the impact and use of a lawyer in a litigation case and overestimate your lawyering skills and analysis, whcih can prove devastating in the end. If you truly intend to pursue such a claim, you really need to simply plan for bearing the expense of litigation, which is typical in commercial or business litigation, as a cost of doing business. If you have other questions, please fee free to contact our office at 1-800-922-6442 for a FREE consultation. ...

Absent an existing enforceable contract, there is no notice required to advise potential customers that they may not be serviced by the Marina, anymore than customers who choose to winter thier boats elsewhere would be sued by the Marina for taking thier business to someone else.

Based solely on this language, the non-compete would apply even if you are fired.  However, restrictive covenants such as this are looked at with some suspicion by Courts, and are often held to be unenforceable.  The fact that you were fired, rather than quit, may be one factor that a court would look at in determining whether this covenant can be enforced against you....

The first thing that you will have to do is hire new counsel to help you sort all of this out.

This case has many many issues and I am pretty confident that your research has lead to some flawed conclusions. Unless there is some written documentation essentially guarnateeing your unfettered use of the funds as you choose, I suspect you may find yourself wasting a lot of time and energy fighting just to fight. Since you seem vehemently opposed to actually using the monies paid to properly repair the damages they were earmarked for, I assume there is some other motive here such as the property is in or soon to be in, foreclosure and you want the funds in pocket and to leave the house unrepaired rather than sink the $$ into the repairs for the benefit of the bank. if you REALLY intend to pursue such issues, your best bet is to actually retain a lawyer, though it may be at an hourly rate and retainer, to review this issue and provide some direction. If you have further questions, please feel free to call us at 1-800-922-6442 for a FREE consultation. ...

This is a question better asked BEFORE you do such things. The answer lies with WHERE and HOW you made such an agreement as many of the internet companies skirt the law using indian tribal immunities. You can contact the Attorney General if you like, though they may not do much to get your title back and if they do, may take a long time. Otherwise, give them the money back as soon as possible and get away from those people ASAP. If you have any further questions feel free to call 1-800-922-6442 for a FREE consultation.... Read More

You can file a complaint with the Department of Insurance.

If you have any further questions, we do offer FREE consultations. Just call our office at 1-800-922-6442.... Read More

Biggest issue is always the ability and willingness to spend what may amount to tens of thousands of dollars fighiting with the HOA over the issue.

Absent having all the details of the communication, its impossible to properly address this issue. What is disconcerting, however, is that you seem to concede that you verbally agreed to the deal. As a general rule, if you agree to something you are legally likely to be held to your word. Simply ignoring it or claiming to the contrary is often problematic, especially when many companies now record the telephone agreement. Based upon the value in dispute, you are best off simply paying the $300.00 and simply not agreeing to any such things in the future unless you intend to follow through or do such thingsin writing.
