This may be an issue depending on you being an owner or a tenant. If you are a disqualified tenant, the lack of a background check may be a waiver for your current lease period and then you will have to move and if you are MTM renter, start packing and find a new place. DO NOT fore the COA to seek eviction as this will also be on your public record and make renting even harder. ... Read Answer

More likely your lack of lawyering ability was the culprit - not a conspiracy theory. By example, seeking to DQ a judge is a classic knee jerk reaction by legions of pro-se litigants and it usually backfires badly, even when it works. You really need to consider hiring a lawyer to handle the litigation case. ... Read Answer

As a general rule, the answer is YES. The court has great deal of discretion and there is no inherent right to delay a legal proceeding simply due to health or mentation issues. If you are not competent to proceed, the court may need to appoint a guardian, but then you will be out of that decison making loop. You would be well served to hire a lawyer here as they can also mitigate your involvement in the legal proceedings by attending hearings your behalf and acting as the contact point for resolving issues. ...

From a starting perspective I am curious as to how this type of case has "mushroomed" beyond your existing lawyer's "capability and expertise"as what you described is failry straight forward. Having handled issues like this in the past, I suspect the actual circumstances are that YOU want to mushroom it to such levels and the existing lawyer, is not willing to do so presumably for financial reasons, but is reying on the "not my area" as a politically correct means of declining the escalation you seek. To the extent you are looking for lawyers to take on such a case on a contingent fee, you are most likely to be very frustrated and sorely disappointed. These type of Hatfields vs.McCoys disputes, especially when they expand tocivil rights allegations, physical attacks, religious discrimination, etc., will typically need to be handled on an hourly rate/retainer basis and if you are not committed to the potential of spending tens of thousands of dollars out of pocket to fight such a battle you REALLY need to consider whether it should be started let alone escalated. This is especially ciritical if you expect to involve more tan one lawyer in the cause whcih may have varying agendas and fee payment issues. ... Read Answer

Funeral home is not responsible for probate issues or the actions of a "common law" wife or girlfriend falsely claiming to be lawful wife. There is likely no legal action against funeral home when there is a dispute over who has legal rights to make funeral arrangements and pay for them, etc. unless there is a clear issue wherethey acted improperly. As to suing the g/f for damages this can be done, but again, this would require a probate and actin taken by the personal representative appointed by the court. ... Read Answer

I don't see where you were arreseted so none of that exists. I am willing to bet THE other side of the story is you rolled backwards with your manual transmission or put it in the wring gear, and then fled the scene, which is WHY they were following you and screaming at you, and you knew darn well this occured. Why? because anyone in thier right mind would have called 911 on thier cell phone or pulled over in a public place and sought help from the crazy people. The cop did't believe you because your story is likely not credible. That stated, you need to work with YOUR insurance carrier to make sure this is resolved and you dont get sued. ... Read Answer
