If i mentioned a pre exsisting condition to the court and was not asked questions about why i made that statement
There is not enough information in your posting to give you advice. If you feel your attorney did not represent you well, you should contact your lawyer and address it, find another lawyer, or contact the bar associate to file a bar complaint. The judge who heard your case will not and cannot have exparte contact with regarding your case, expecially since you are attorney represented.

Dept. of licensing has hold of license
You have three options: (1) pay the judgment in full and obtain a satisfaction of judgment; (2) contact the attorney who obtained the judgment and set up a payment agreement. As long as the payments remain current, the DOL will release your license; or (3) declare Chapter 7 bankruptcy. I caution you on the third option as it will affect your credit for several years. I would recommend contacting a bankruptcy attorney in your area to find out if you qualify and what that will mean to you...

If you timely filed your trial de novo appeal and the other party has not objected, the court will grant it. You should then file a motion with the court that all copies of the award must be sealed pending the outcome of the civil trial. Refer to the Snohomish County Local MAR Rules for guidance on your motion.

You should also contact the credit company and the credit card company to claim that this card is not yours and/or the...

Sold car. Buyer paid off financier. Title was to be put in the buyers name, but was put in my name and was in accident.
The simple answer is yes. If you refuse to provide, the attorney can sue you and serve you with interrogatories, subpoenas and/or take your deposition to obtain the same information. You might contact the attorney and request a signed release or waiver once the paperwork is submitted by you and reviewed.

What can I do if I've been terribly wronged by my lawyer? I lost a large condo downpayment because of him.
Depending on the jurisdiction of your dispute, your state bar association should have a complaint process by which you can file a bar complaint citing the above issues. The bar will then investigate. Your other option is to locate a private professional liability attorney that could file suit on your behalf against your former lawyer. If you do not have a name, you might contact your lawyer that handled the arbitration for you and ask for a referral or contact the bar association for a list...

Attorney answers:
Can my insurance refuse to pay a personal injury claim of a person who rode in the other car during an accident I was at fault ?
As every date has different laws, it would be a good idea to talk to a lawyer in your state. Generally, insurance companies are only required to pay your medical bills or your passengers under the PIP portion of the policy. If the passenger decides to sue you for injuries that resulted from the crash, your insurance company is required to retain an attorney to defend you per your policy. That attorney will bring affirmative defenses on your behalf claiming the passenger contributed to...
