Attorney answers:
When court is closed due to bad weather, do they have to serve papers to me again in order for me to appear at the new date?
Once you are placed on notice of a legal action involving you as a named party, it is your responsibility to contact the Court in order to determine when the hearing in which you are a named party is to be reset. I suggest you contact the Court and check per your docket number of the case's current status.

Attorney answers:
Do I have a personal injury case?
You could potentially have a case against the dentist office. One question is did the dentist or office fail to perform a duty required under a standard of care in carrying out your procedure. Questions would also pertain to the severity of your injury, and any and all damages sustained, if any. Assuming you are still experiencing discomfort and pain, and this process has cost you residual loss, I suggest you consult with a personal injury attorney in your local area.

Attorney answers:
Am in need of a crimial case lawyer who will do a pr bono case.
It is doubtful that any attorney will take this matter on a pro bono basis, but your son may qualify for appointed counsel. I suggest you recommend to your son that he completes one of those forms to see if he qualifies for appointed counsel with the Court. If he does, he will either be assigned to the public defender or another attorney in the area, who handles criminal defense cases.

Attorney answers:
Do I have time limit to respond Motion to Compel & Motion to Dismiss?do I have to file the response or jst show @ hearing in TN?
You better review the local rules of the Court, where the case is set. In some venues, the failure to respond to a pending Motion in writing within a certain timeframe results in an automatic granting of the Motion. I believe Davidson County has a rule like this. So, I would strongly encourage you to review the local rules very closely in the Court, where this case is set. You should probably be able to find them on line.

If its my 1st possesion of gun and reckless endangerment and got no criminal record im i lookn at doing jail time
I think you should strongly consider hiring a localized attorney, who regularly handles criminal defense matters in his or her practice. You state that you have no criminal record. Obviously, this should serve as a mitigating factor. The State attorney and the Court will aslo consider the specific facts of your case. What will witnesses called before the Court say about the incident and your conduct? You could be presented with other options alternative to incarceration, including...

Attorney answers:
Doesan answer to divorce complaint need a notarized signature? if pro se, just need a signature and certifcate of service?
Generally speaking, in divorce cases in Tennessee, the Defendant will not only respond via an Answer to Complaint, but will also file a Counter-Complaint with the Answer. If a Counter-Complaint is provided with the Answer and testimony sworn in accordance therewith, you would need to sign before a notary. I would strongly encourage you to consult with a localized attorney in your area, who regularly handles domestic matters.

Attorney answers:
Can I request my Divorce Trial to be posponed for a later date? I am the plaintiff. Can I do it myself I lost my lawyer?
You could first ask opposing counsel if he or she would agree to a continuance. If not, you could file a Motion to Continue concerning the scheduled Trial date with the Chancery Court. In the Motion's content, you could set forth the reasons that you are seeking a continuance.

There are various directories that can be used. TASA is one that comes to mind. I can't recall what it stands for. Further, often times, other lawyers can be great resources for experts.

Discovery stage of a discrimination claim
The discovery phase often involves written discovery, which can include interrogatories, request for admissions and request for production of documents. These involve submitting written sworn upon answers to presented written questions served by a party of interest. Additionally, discovery may include the depositions of parties and key witnesses.
