Ohio Litigation Legal Questions

If this is a marriage based green card, which you have received a conditional two-year card, then prior to the expiration date, you can file for a removal of those conditions, and that can be done within 90 days of the date of expiration. However, if you already have the 10 year permanent card, and it is either expiring, lost, or stolen, then you have to file for a replacement green card. ... Read Answer

The rules of civil procedure will give you a baseline on how to proceed.  (link below)  You also will want to check to make sure you follow any local rules for the court that has jurisdiction to hear the matter. Your local law library may have some additional books you can read to get a baseline understanding. How to proceed is a complex question and there is no simple answer.  A full analysis of the case and surrounding details is needed to determine any possible causes of action that exist and the liklihood of prevailing on those matters. https://www.supremecourt.ohio.gov/LegalResources/Rules/civil/CivilProcedure.pdf    ...

I'm not an Ohio attorney,and it is possible that Ohio law is different in this area than where I practice, but I would say no.  First, as to suspension, I see no basis for suspending someone's right to practice his/her profession simply because he/she owes money.  Your judgment gives you the right to collect money, not to impair someone's right to make a living.  As to attaching the license, while it can be considered an asset, it is not assignable; a doctor or lawyer can't sell his license to anyone.  Normally if a judgment creditor attaches an asset, it is sold, and the creditor receive the proceeds of sale (after deducting fees of, for example, a marshal) up to the amount of the judgment.  Here, there can be no sale, so I don't see how you can attach the license.  Of course, you would still have the ability to collect from the revenues generated by the licnese, e.g.you should be able to garnish the fees paid to the debtor, attach his/her bank accounts, etc....

There will likely be a disagreement about what should happen to the remainder of the settlement. For you to keep it, you must have received it before you were married and not intermingled any of the funds with marital assets. You should discuss this issue with your attorney to determine the likelihood of your keeping the asset.... Read Answer

If the Court  believes your story that you loaned her the money which she agreed to repay when she got a job, you should win; if the Court believes her story - whether it be that you paid her debts as a gift because the two of you were in a relationship, or that she already paid you back, or that she owes you the money of which you speak, but you owe her more because you ran over her computer when you broke up - she will likely win....

Well that depends.  Generally speaking, the statute of limitations against a school for negligence in the performance of their duties is two years from the date of the incident.  However, when the injured person is a minor (under 18 years old) at the time of the incident, the statute of limitations doesnt begin to run until their 18th birthday, meaning that your daughter would until her 20th birthday (two years from her 18th birthday) to file a lawsuit.  For a claim against the person who physically assualted her, this is an intentional tort, which has a one year statute of limitations.  Therefore, your daughter would have one year from the date of the incident or until her 19th birthday, whichever is later, to file a lawsuit against the person who physically assaulted her. Obviously, not knowing the full and complete story and all the facts, I cannot accurately quote to you the statute of limitations in your case, but I have provided you with the general rules concerning statutes of limitation.  Always best to discuss statute of limitation questions with a lawyer after providing all of the facts of the case. Best of luck.... Read Answer

I am sorry to hear about this.  But unless your son suffered damages from eating the food and/or the box being melted, then there would be no basis for a lawsuit and likely none to seek compensation.  Every lawsuit requires you to have damages - mainly meaning you suffered a monetary harm as a result of a wrong of another person or business.  If you son became ill  and had to seek medical treatment after he ate his food there and you think it is because of the melted box, then you may have grounds to seek compensation but I don't think this would be enough for an actual lawsuit.  In order to justify a lawsuit the damages would need to be pretty high.  So, if you are interested in attempting to seek compensation, I'd consider trying that route on your own with Ruby Tuesday.  I hope your son is doing okay.  Best of luck.

Any claim you would have would fall under a medical malpractice claim.  Medical malpractice claims are very difficult and expensive to pursue.  You should contact an experienced attorney to discuss your options.  Simply because you had an adverse effect or discomfort from a procedure does not necessarily mean that a doctor was negligent or that he did anything wrong.  An experienced medical malpractice attorney would be able to help you decide if you have a case or not.  Also, there are very strict time limits in Ohio for filing and pursuing medical malpractice cases.  Therefore, you should contact an experienced attorney immediately to discuss your options....
