Can I sue a previous partner for not telling me of her genital herpes until after we had split up?

Yes, if she knowingly exposed you to the disease. You'll want to consult with a lawyer about your rights before proceeding. Many attorneys will provide a consultation free of charge so that you can determine what your rights are and whether to retain a lawyer to pursue the claim for you.

Are my income TAX records admissable 10 years prior to crash in PI case?

Ten years worth of records may be excessive depending on the facts of your case and the basis of your claim for lost earnings and/or lost capacity to earn. You should discuss this matter with your attorney.

What is considered possession. Can you be charged for a substance that was not on you taken out of your possession

I agree. The state will have to prove a connection between you and the drugs, and mere presence at the scene will probably not be enough, standing alone. That being said, the state is apparently going to make an effort to prove that there is a connection, and so you should hire an experience criminal defense lawyer to represent you.

If the police have a warrant with the incorrect address on the warrant,can the charge be thrown out of court or dismissed?

It is possible. The cases in this area are very fact specific. Your friend should hire an experienced criminal defense lawyer to discuss the facts and advise her what the chances are of having the evidence thrown out on a motion to suppress. If she doesn't know such an attorney, she can contact Kazuma Sonoda at 678-443-4044. He's a Duke and Emory law grad and has a lot of experience in handling criminal cases in the Atlanta area.

Georgia: Wells-Fargo: Purchase money 1st and 2nd $2400/month, cannot afford loan

If you can find a buyer, you might be able to convince the bank to do a "short sale", in which they allow you to sell the home for less than the total owed, you give them all of the money from the sale,and they forgive the balance. This process will take a minimum of several months to achieve, if the bank approves it at all. Second, you might be able to give one or both houses back to the bank through a "deed in lieu of foreclosure". Finally, you might consider filing bankruptcy. You should...

I got Seizures, and Doc did a Brain surgery by expecting its a Tumor. Can we sue them?

You need to contact an attorney with experience handling brain injury cases immediately. Determining whether you have a claim and, if so, how strong a claim, depends on a number of complex factual and legal issues, and you have not provided enough information to make that determination. The following link may provide some useful information on things to consider when retaining an attorney.

What kind of attorney do I need?

You need a lawyer who has experience handling TPO applications if you want to try and prevent him from obtaining a protective order against you. A judge is likely to look unfavorably on his petition if you can show that you already have a protective order in place against him, unless he can show the judge that you have been harassing him, in which case the Court will likely issue the TPO in order to keep the two of you apart.

Under Georgia's criminal code how can I go about removing an outstanding warrant

Rather than turning yourself in, I would suggest you first hire an attorney with criminal experience. An attorney might be able to get the bench warrant recalled so that you do not have to turn yourself in, and if that isn't possible, can at least apply to the court for a new bond (at a reasonable amount) so that you do not have to spend any more time than necessary in custody. If you go to the courthouse to try and resolve this on your own, you will likely be taken into custody. If you don'...

The Georgia Bar Association has an arbitration program for resolving such disputes -- you might suggest that to the law firm in writing.

Does a company have a right to ask for fees paid to me for services rendered?

Without reviewing the documents and knowing more about the services you provided and their complaints about them, I cannot provide specifi advice about the likelihood of a recovery against you. Generally speaking, if someone is contracted to provide certain services, rather than a finished product, and that person provides those services in a reasonable manner and in compliance with the terms of the agreement, then they are entitled to be compensated per the terms of the agreement simply...
