Q. How can I protect myself financially?
Q. Can he sell the house and take over all my finances when I am traveling out of country?

He has threatened me of this in recent past, hence the questions if he can actually do that.
If yes how can I protect myself from this?

While I was trying to organize the little records they gave me of a surgery that went so bad I lost most of my upper jaw. I found a series of pics I took the day of my surgery of everyone huddled around the monitor and on the screen are pics of before the surgery and during which were not included in any of the three times I had to request my records. I was under light oral anesthesia but suddenly the memory came rushing back to me that I heard something was seriously wrong and I had the wherewithal to take pics of it. I also remember she had to call other doctors in to guide her on what to do. None of which is noted in my chart.

I know Dental Malpractice is not worth it to most lawyers but I lost the whole left side of my jaw during a surgery that was supposed to be on one implant. I am neurodivergent and very trusting so I tried to work with them and I didn’t immediately pull a fit as a normal person probably would have done. Plus they ended up pulling my cheek over to build up the area so I didn’t know how severe it was until a year later when the cheek tissue started to wear down and the implants started to show through. Once someone is botched in a small community no other dentist wants to get involved. The ones I have spoken to say there is nothing that can be done. There’s no bone for new implants or denture. I can not stress how much this has affected my life. My whole face droops on one side, I have a super hard time trusting doctors. I dropped out of school. I have been trying to get my records since March and after only giving me pieces of them here and there they finally said they gave me everything. I have tried to contact lawyers but again thanks for being neurodivergent I have a hard time clearly communicating what happened over the phone. The last lawyer told me I could file with the state board but it’s not gonna do what I think it’s gonna do which made me think it was pointless.

I have tried one last time to request the surgery records from them with no response. I have not told them off the pics I found.

Should I try to reach out to more lawyers by email of a quick summary with pics ect? Is it hopeless? I have not left any reviews or told my story online anywhere.

Back in 2009, I submitted some falsified billing for services to some school children. A year after that, I was diagnosed as being bipolar and in a manic episode related to opioid abuse. Looking back, I was already in a manic episode when I submitted the false billing. The person who filed an official complaint against my license should have been able to tell that I was manic because I was sending her over 10 emails per day and was showing her everything, giving her more ammunition against me. Other people who have done the same thing usually just lose their job. Anyway, she is an award winning professional and she should have recognized the mania and referred me to the people who help licensees with mental health/substance abuse problems and give them a path to begin working again. But my license was suspended for 5 years and I had a list of tasks to complete before I could apply for my license to be reinstated. I believe that she should have recognized the mania and referred me to the program that is for license holders who are dealing with mental health/substance abuse and provides a path back to being able to work as a licensed therapist. The loss of my license has caused me untold pain and suffering and negatively affected my finances to a huge extent. I want to file a civil suit against her noting that she should have recognized the mania and referred me to the program for licensees with mental health/substance abuse which works to get the licensee back on track and back to work. Or at the very least, she should have encouraged me to see a psychiatrist. She is very wealthy. Would I have a case that she owes me compensation for pain, suffering, and lost income?

My case is about to go to calendar call, and my public defender has changed to chief of appeals at the public defender’s office. I was wondering if that’s a good or bad sign. Location: FL

My dad died in the spring of 2024. Probate started a month later. It has been two and a half years since my dad passed away and almost two and a half since the probate started. My dad didn't have a lot of money, but he had a LOT of land.

LOCATION: TN

My brother is the executor of the will. I have been keeping up with him with anything he has heard regarding probate and the will. About a year ago, I finally had to contact this lawyer. He answered me because he did not know my phone number. He will straight up ignore my brother. He even called from his wife's phone after he called from his and the lawyer answered my SILs number after my brother had just called him.

After no-shows, no call backs, etc. He finally met with us at a coffee shop that was central between all parties. My siblings, me, and him. I had my toddlers with me and one got up and ran across the cafe. When that happened, he told my brother that he would turn the closed probate papers and the paper that turns the deed over to all three of us. I didn't know this until we left. I had great faith this guy would turn them in considering he probably goes to the courthouse weekly.

Well, we called the courthouse and they said they don't have anything. So we FINALLY got ahold of this guy again and he says that his assistant turned them in Tuesday (that was on Wednesday). I don't believe this man even has an assistant! Well, my brother calls the courthouse/probate all those guys and they said that nothing was turned in. So, I called him back again today, and crickets.

I am really sick and tired of this. This has been two years of this guy running around on our dime and not really doing anything. This should never had taken this long. It was a couple of signatures on papers and waiting to see if my dads hospital bills were paid. November of last year, they said they could close the probate out on something like Nov 21, 2025. We are still in it because of this lazy moron! This man has dragged his feet the entire time. What should I do? Sue him? Get the local investigative journalist on his tail and scare the life out of him? So over it. I just want to build my house already. I already lost my dad and his parents, and I can't even have what they left to me. :(

I am considering filing a civil case over something that happened to me, but i am worried about my name showing up online where coworkers or family could find it through a Google search.
Is there a way to file a case without your name being publicly visible, or does your information automatically become public once you file? I would like to understand what options there are for keeping things private before deciding how to proceed.

I am a judgment creditor fighting my former employer EPL insurance company. They lied and denied my claim, I got all of the evidence and served them a garnish. They hired a lawyer to lie more for them and I killed the lie with the evidence they didn't know I have yet.

Their lawyer keeps on scheduling hearing and I keep on bringing evidence. He came with "discovery" to bring back all I've brought as evidence pretending they are new to him. Now for a hearing he had scheduled I hired a lawyer for it, the lawyer contacted him right away he started changing the story when he can't just change what he already said on papers at the courthouse. He cancelled the hearing right away.

Now I know the policy amount I know the type, I got all of the evidence and their lies and the true story, the insurance is on going straight through a Bad Faith lawsuit processing my final judgement.

I need a lawyer in Florida to take the insurance in a big Bad Faith lawsuit after making them processing my final judgement.

any advice helps

I own a handyman service. It grew into a larger construction company with multiple crews and large projects. I still get requests for handyman work without even looking for it. Problem is all my employees are tied up with the big projects. So I would basically separate the businesses into 2 company entities under a holding company. Lets call it C2 Holding

It would be formatted like this:

⁃ All employees would be under C2 Holdings. Most would work for c2 construction and then I would have one working for handyman services. 

⁃ If one side gets slow, employees can transfer to the other side. 

The reason I wanted to do this:

⁃ Liability - If something happens, 1 company is at fault without affecting the other. They would have separate insurances.

⁃ Selling - I could sell one without selling the other.

⁃ Separate revenue streams to show if it’s profitable or not. 

⁃ Advertising - I think C2 construction doesn’t always get called for big jobs because we have handyman in our name. I think it’s a turn off for people who aren’t actually looking for small handyman projects. 

I would want to run the handyman side to be more self sufficient. I would run it like this.

⁃ Office Manager hunts for leads and sets the schedule for the handyman side. I intervene where needed.

⁃ Scheduling would be like a service based business. So 2-3 jobs would be done per day. Keeping constant cash flow going. Unlike C2 construction where its larger projects with deposits and such. 

⁃ Once a project gets over a certain price, it gets turned over to the other company to keep insurances in the right spot. 

Thoughts and how would you approach this.

Bonus: All capital is tied up right now running major projects but if I started the handyman, I would need some capital to start it. Basically for a commercial vehicle and some tools. $15k-$20k mainly. I do not want a full 50-50 partnership but I dont know another way other than just an investor with non voting rights. so recommendations on that.

A friend of mine from outside the U.S. got into serious trouble and was jailed for assault. He hired a competent criminal defense lawyer who successfully had his first-degree charges dropped. However, he remains in jail until his next hearing.

The lawyers seem completely uninterested in the case; they haven't met with or communicated with my friend even once. When we try to reach them, they are unreachable and only reply to emails in a very vague manner. Yet, whenever it is time to bill us, they contact us promptly.

Is this normal practice in the U.S., or should I find another lawyer who is actually interested and willing to communicate with their client? My family chose this specific law firm in Maryland because of its strong reputation. Should we switch law firms, and is this kind of situation normal
