While in the nursing home she was severly injuried,my sisiter and I filed a personal/negect injury suit against the home in April 2009.We won a judment this past week and have not received any money yet. My question is can Medicaid take this money from us ,my Mom had exactly $0 in assets when she died. Yesterday I received a letter from AG of Ohio stating that she owed Medicaid $142,588 ,and this is a debt of the estate only.does ths money fall into a category of her estate since she had $0 The lawyer who handled our suit said he does not know about something like this,I wonder about him. I would not think this would be an asset,that is why I am asking this question. I Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:28:37 PST http://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/can-i-file-a-civil-suit--166115.html After consulting with a physician twice about laser treatments for acne scarring, and being told I would see drastic improvements, I purchased a package and paid in advance. Post treatment, I have seen NO results. The doctor agrees there is no change. So, I am out the money, and have received none of what I was told I would. I feel as if I paid for a cosmetic procedure and came out exactly the same, minus the money. Do I have a right to seek a return of my expenses when all I got was empty promises?

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 18:35:55 PST http://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/how-to-find-attorney-for-libel-slander--defamation-165623.html my son, his boss and another employee were fired for the accusation of stealing...and/or letting someone steal. Arrest were made, they went to court, it was proven that they were innocent of these crimes and that the crimes did not happen. Yet, the accusers have ruined their reputations with the untrue accusations. They have not been able to get new jobs because these accusers have told future employers, employees and even customers that my son, his boss and another employee are thieves, the accusers have continued to spread this lie to also unemployment and anyone who calls them asking for references. Each have lost personal things because of this and more. is there an attorney who would actually represent them in a court of law? and how do I find that attorney? thank you.
