What can i do to get my money back from an attorney who went to prison while i was in jail waiting to go to court?
If the attoney held unearned fees you may be able to ask the Bar Association there is a fund for people in this type of situation. The Lawyer's Fund for Client Protection is run by the Washington State Bar and you may apply for help; here is a link, http://www.wsba.org/Legal-Community/Committees-Boards-and-Other-Groups/~/media/Files/Legal%20Community/Committees_Boards_Panels/Lawyers%20Fund%20for%20Client%20Protection/2011%20LFCP%20Application.ashx Good Luck

Who pays, medical insurance or personal injury on car insurance?
Because she had double insurance the procedures should be covered, submit bills to both providers and if they both deny the claims call a lawyer.

Can a collection agency use my pay-for-delete offer letter to re-affirm my debt?
I agree with Mr. Corbin and would add that the offer wasn't accepted and you didn't actually pay the agency the amount still could be in dispute.

I was parked . As i opened the door another car swooped into the stall next to me & broke her mirror. Who is liable?
I agree with the other posters and it hard to tell but generally the moving vehicle has the ability to stop and the responsability to do so. In reality a mirror may not reach an insurance deductable and the driver would be paying. Good Luck

Attorney answers:
Being served for outstanding HELOC debt on my foreclosed condo. Can I still settle for their last offered settlement amount?
I agree with the previous answer and would add that the 2nd on the property had the collateral stripped away when they failed to bid on the property and their position is weak now. So you should negotiate strongly and claiming you are judgement proof is a great starting point because they know you already have been through a tough time and may be a good candidate for bankruptcy. You will need to consult with a consumer protection or bankruptcy lawyer locally at once. Many lawyers on...

Attorney answers:
Can my landlord charge me for the remainder of the lease if he evicted me?
I agree with the other answers and would say you have a defense of the landlord's failure to mitigate damages. Here is some advice on how to work with collectors. 1. Start keeping a detailed log of all calls and letters and a paper file of all information. Because persistent violations of the FDPCA are punishable by statutory fines and attorney’s fees under federal law, but you need hard evidence. 2. Make a written demand that all further communications from creditors is in writing...

Attorney answers:
Liability around fallen trees
I agree with Mr. Kelly and would add written notice to your neighbor and discussion with your homeowner's insurance agent is in order. As a side note you have the right to trim the branches hanging over the line as long as the trimming does not kill the plant. Only hire licensed and bonded arborists for your estimates and actual trimming. Good Luck
