756 Questions Answered
- Q. Seeking advice on appealing a 3M earplug lawsuit dismissal in Florida
- A: There is only one step - retain an appellate attorney NOW. Appellate work is quite different than trial work and there is literally no room for error. Most attorneys do not handle appellate work for that very reason - it is much different than trial work and its a completely different skill set. An appellate attorney will be able to tell you what is needed, if you have time to appeal, etc. Be forewarned - appellate work is not inexpensive. The other step is to become intimately familiar with the Florida rules of appellate procedure (available online). This will be a time-consuming task - hire an attorney.
- Q. Is it legal for a repossession company to tow with someone inside the vehicle in Utah?
- A: A couple of feet? The reason that people cannot ride in a towed vehicle, trailer, etc., is because of the possible catastrophic consequences of an accident involving the towed item. You were in no danger whatsoever, and indeed it was your fault for interfering with the repossession agent in the first place. While it may be against the literal letter of the law for you to be towed a couple of feet, no district attorney who has been on the job for more than 5 minutes is going to take a complaint against the tow company with any seriousness.
- Q. How to get relocation funds as a tenant of auctioned property in Florida?
- A: There is no such thing as a relocation fund for you. When the house is sold, the new owner will be entitled to a writ of possession (no eviction notice needed); the sheriff will serve it and you will be escorted off the property (and not be allowed to return unless you strike a deal with the new owner). I urge you to gather your belongings now and find a new place to live before that happens.
