Medical malpractice suit acting pro,se

by Richard Mosley
(Orlando fla)

I am having a hard time getting an corroborating expert opinion from a medical doctor, because he will not sign an Affidavit from me because it is not coming from a lawyer. I have filed other papers and if I don't filed or get an expert opinion in relation to my claims my case will be dismissed and the Statute of limitation is soon to expire. I need some advice as to what to do. My E-mail is mosleyric60@yahoo.com, I have tried all types of lawyers but they won't accept the case. Its a soft tissue case and very complex. I have been doing law in prison for 35 years, and I never had this problem before. I live and breathe law. Please respond.

Sued for non compete...forced me to leave then enforces the no compete

by Sofia cavanaugh
(Spring hill florida)

The correct things that I will need ...the questions that I should ask the opposing lawyers during discovery...what are the rules and procedures in the court room.....I was a no compete as an employee..but became a booth renter instead but never signed a no compete as a renter ...and was forced to leave only for her to enforce the no compete now.....her due diligence should have been more precise.....wants her money back. ...buts is neglecting to divulge that she closed because met a man online and took off for Brooklyn ..not because of me or this no compete...
So with that said. ....I need the proper paperwork and guidance

She purchased my salon....I iam a hairdresser.....I live in hernando florida
I just want to know if I signed a no compete as an employee then became a renter ...If this changes things..it would give me an out.....will the judge make me stop working?...this case is 3 yrs old....just now moving to trial.....based on fraud
I am scared to death...this woman harassed me..belittled me in front of clients...bullied me....yelled at me....I sent in a list of 17 witnesses ...that will testify gladly how she forced me out.....

What if conpiracy is going on in you case with the judge and the lawyer but you is the plaintiff

by Karena Troutman
(jacksonville fl)

What if you have a case filed here in Florida and the judge and the lawyer are working together in the case. How do you file a conspiracy against them and who do you file it with and don't forget you are the plaintiff in the case and know the rules but they keep telling you you need to hire an attorney.

Can I sue for ruining my credit?

My abusive exhusband has on several different occasions refused to pay the mortgage on the family home (financial abuse). This has resulted in three separate foreclosure filings. He testified that he was irresponsible in paying the mortgage and he also testified that he had sufficient income to pay it because he has maintained employment since 2005. He is now in possession of the home, my credit is ruined and I am now unable to get a mortgage loan anywhere because my name is still on the loans for the 1st and 2nd mortgages he refuses to pay. Also, my negative credit score impacts my employment since I am a law enforcement officer and part of the application employment process is credit-worthiness.

Can I file dual lawsuits against the same company?

by Isabel
(Florida)

I am currently suing my bank for massive fraud, racketeering and RESPA in Federal Court. During the discovery phase, I acquired additional information regarding the fraud committed against us. We have passed the discovery phase and are now in pre-trial phase. The Defendants filed a Motion for Summary Judgment with just our depositions as evidence. Our depositions do not favor them at all. However, they failed to submit the depo of my expert witness whom they deposed. I am now awaiting the judge's decision and I am worried that he would be biased with the bank and unfairly grant them summary judgment. I would like to know if I can appeal this lawsuit and file another one in State Court with other counts such as FDCPA, Florida RICO, Common Law Fraud, Unjust Enrichment, etc. I can also add two more Defendants as well to this new lawsuit with the evidence I now have. Would there be an issue here with subject matter jurisdiction or some other issues? Thanks ahead of time.

I need to sue an attorney for false representation/ He was a lawyer for the bad guy

by Gina
(Central Florida)

In what court do I file and can I file Pro Se. As of right now I have had a very hard time obtaining an attorney willing to sue against the county officials and the developers. My son and I are very sick. The first attorney ended up being an attorney for the Dr.'s that denied us treatment. I have just recently obtained all the proof of this and I want to take that attorney and the hospital/ dr.'s to court and get justice!
I am not afraid to take it on myself and in fact would be quite satisfied in being able to do it my self. I just would like some knowledge as of where to begin.

Motion for partial summary judgement when amended answer and counter-claim gave him second chance to plaintiff complaint in trial for counter-claim only

by Anne
(Daytona Beach)

My counter claim against landlord in previous eviction was transferred to circuit court. Only the counter-claim was pending and the eviction had already been dismissed on summary judgment when I was a pro se litigant defendant. The only thing pending in the case was trial for my counter claim.

This is 2 years later when status conference was held to set case for trial. I retained an attorney at that time and he was granted leave to amend the complaint.
I'm not sure why, but he filed an amended answer, defenses, and counter claims and a motion to transfer venue to circuit court for claims more than $15,000. The transfer was granted and docket still showed the Plaintiff's original complaint where I was the Defendant as dismissed/dissolved, and the counter-claim with me as Plaintiff listed as transferred and pending.
A few weeks after the transfer to circuit court, my attorney filed a second amended answer, defenses, and counter-claim. I don't understand what he is "answering" because there is no outstanding complaint against me, but now it shows the Counter defendant as Plaintiff, also Plaintiff/Counter-Defendant. I am now Defendant forst and Defendant/Counter-Plaintiff second.
How can that be when the eviction was already decided and only my counter claim was pending?
I can't understand why the Attorney would have filed a new answer, when there was no longer an active complaint by Plaintiff for me to answer to and even so, how does it cause him to be able to retry his complaint as Plaintiff when I initiated, paid for, and filed this Counter-Claim on the basis of the false eviction complaint and the judgment being the main document of my cause of action.
If this has given him a second opportunity, can I file motion for partial summary judgment as to the eviction complaint for declaratory relief and demand for judgment, especially since it was retaliation and a false complaint, I already proved that and got judgment, and that is the primary basis for my Counter-Claim?
If so, can I request expedited hearing based on the fact that we are in the process of scheduling depositions and his complaint was already adjudicated 2 years ago and I should not have to have all the extra expense and time to make that a part of the trial? Essentially I would then be paying for him to have a second opportunity to plead his case and essentially making the judgment being available at the onset, irrelevant until I re-establish a cause of action?

Can I ask for my money back ($500) from my lawyer?

by Sonia
(Florida)

I contacted this lawyer with the hope that he could help me to recover my small dog from somebody who refuses to give him back. After telling my story, the lawyer said that he can help me and right away asked for my credit card number and charged $500. He sent 2 letters to the persons involved in the case, giving up to 20 days for them to respond back. I called him once a week in order to know how my case was going. It was hard to reach him since most of the time he was away from his desk or at court. Finally I contacted him after the 20 days and he said since the person didn't contact him he wanted to give another 20 days. The first letter said if she didn't contact him he will pursue with legal matters, but any way I agreed but asked for only 7 days. He said that is not the way the law works. Then after more than 20 days again he won't answer my phone calls. I left him a couple of messages. The receptionist said he was away from his desk or in court. It's been 3 weeks since I tried to contact him and no answer from him. His office is in Hollywood,Fl which is about 40 minutes from where I live. I don't want to waste my time any more with him. I do have a copy of the receipt and the 2 letters and also in my message I ask him to transfer may case to someone else if he don't have the time to do it. But he again did not answer. Can I get my money back? If so what legal document do I need to do? Thank you. By the way I'm going to court on my own to continue with my case, as I had paid more than $300 in order to get a hearing.

Civil Indigent Status Denied Seminole County

My husband and I applied for civil indigent status for the filing of a simplified dissolution of marriage, at the Seminole County Civil Courthouse.
We read the statute and felt we fit into all of the requirements. Following is all we wrote on the application:
Our HOMESTEAD is valued at 75000 at the county website and we owe 110000 on it.
Our CAR has a blue book value of 7300 and we owe 11000 on it.
Our CREDIT CARD DEBT is of 1200.
Our SAVINGS are of 1000.
Our YEARLY INCOME FOR 2 PEOPLE is of 26000.
Our CHECKING ACCOUNT has 300.
I am unemployed since November 2016 because of health issues and, so, am a tax dependent of my husband. At the court house they made us fill 2 indigent applications, one for each of us, even though we file taxes together. The clerk denied, we politely asked why and she, very rudely, said she would send to the judge. Today we got a call the judge denied it. I am going back to my home country to be able to afford medical treatment because, here in the US, I cannot, so we wanted to settle the dissolution before I left. We cannot afford all the fees though... Did we read the statute wrongly? Is not, Is there any recourse? Can we apply at another courthouse?
Thank you very much

I am preparing a motion to dismiss a civil lawsuit filed in Broward County that has jurisdictional issues but also other issues that should easily result in it being dismissed with prejudice.

I need someone to handle the document preparation and preferably filing of the motion, if that's a service offered.

Refile a Motion To Change Venue


(Tampa, Florida, USA)

I filed a Motion to Change Venue in my child custody case since neither me or the father no longer live in the same county as where the divorce was originally filed. The Judge never let me speak during the hearing but allowed my ex and his lawyer to speak, the Judge then denied the change. I missed the deadline to appeal it so I'd like to try again because there was no good reason to deny it. However, the Judge didn't write an actual order, she stamped my Motion as denied on June 9th.
How long do I need to wait before I can file a Motion to Change Venue again? I now have new evidence to prove my medical conditions to show I can not travel that far for future proceedings.

Libel

by Crystina

My ex-husband is continuously and consistently posting false information on my facebook page. I am required to be "friends" with him, as this is his only avenue of contact with the children.

During the latest incident, dated 9/16, he posted that I am a con artist, I have been fired from multiple jobs, lied in court, tried to kill him, my daughter was injured by two men while in my care, and that my son has been injured by my husband.

I would like to handle this pro se, as I have handled the custody and divorce with no problem, but I'm having a hard time finding paperwork. Can you help?
