My attorney has consistently "misspoken" on many of the questions I ask her (creditor deadlines, court dates, etc), and I have the emails to prove it. He contract states she was supposed to send me an itemized bill every 30 days and she hasn’t. Her contract also states she would bill in 6 minute increments and she is now saying she is billing in 7 minute increments. I am sick of it! She has been paid 00 already and advised her rate was 0/hr. Once those hours are depleted, that would be 20 hours right? She states she will need 0 increments, etc. She comes out of blue at the end of the 120 days for creditors to make a claim on the estate, and says she wants to request reductions and she would take 40% of the savings to the estate. I said no thanks. She then says "Well, I will charge you a flat fee of 00 to dispute creditors claims". I said no thank you. Now she is trying to say the money is owed because she has depleted the 00 etc. I said send me a bill, she did and it was so off it’s not even funny (87 emails @ 6 minutes per email is about 10 hours right? She said it was 17.4 hours! She can’t even multiply!)
So now I am at the end of my rope, I want to fire her so bad (there are soooo many other issues) but the probate process is almost over. I have calculated that I owe her about 0 for past work from her very LATE itemized statement. She has agreed to this amount. If I fire her, do I HAVE to hire a new attorney to represent me in probate court? Do the creditors that have made claims HAVE to show up? If they don’t show up, will their claim be dismissed? I am in Tennessee, by the way. Can I finish this probate out myself? If so, how do I find out court dates and such? Help!
Ok in trying to plead not guilty nd not get my license suspended for a year… I am under 21 so maybe I can get underage drinkibg instead of DUI.. Can a lawyer help me? Or should I go to dmv hearing without one? Also how can I get the police reports?
pulled over for suspended registration, but was suspected of drinking
i refused the test by using the 5th amendment
what can a Lawyer do????
I mean I blew over ( .092) and I had a broken tail light. What kind of defense do I have? Should I just save my money and just take the hit?
What kind of education does one need to become a probate attorney?
Obviously some law school, but any other specifics?
Anything you’d recommend they study into?
I’ve heard that some lawyers don’t act as actual advocates in court, they do all their work in an office mostly. Please let me know some types of lawyers like this. Thanks!! =)
to all interested party’s and and the court has closed the case. Attorney filed a form claiming he did so but there are no proof of service listed on the docket or in court file.
A probate was opened by one sibling and then there was a will of later date admitted to probate in which the Attorney never filed the notice to probate the later will and did it all under the table, and I did not find out until the case was closed by the court.
So I am writing a pain journal and I am describing the night of my accident. I am being very detailed in it like what we did the things that were said and what went on before hand. Am I being to detailed or do lawyers like having as much details as possible?
I received a DUI and immediately was solicited with multiple flyers from Lawyers. How is it that they got my address? I know my DUI arrest was public record but how did they get the address?? did they pay for it?
