My Dad is in a trust contest in California and I’m allowed to help him in any way I can, but I can’t act as a lawyer in court. Can I still help him with other aspects of the case, such as sharing advice based on our shared experience as petitioners?

I opened an online business when I was 15, but it never sold anything and was later closed by the state for inaction. Now, I want to ensure I'm legally protected and compliant. What should I do?

My mom passed away. She had no will or debt that we knew of. Her home is mortgaged, and we filed for summary of administration. We got it but now we have a company that filed a debt claim for $3,091.00. The lawyer told me to call them and tell them that there were no assets other than her home and $132 in a bank account. Do I need to write a letter, or what do I do about this?

I was arrested for public intoxication in San Antonio, but I was sent to behavioral health instead of jail and never received a ticket or court date.

I had my case dismissed based on a failure to respond to interrogatories. Is that something I can challenge using Rule 60(b)? The judge didn’t specify if the dismissal was with or without prejudice, and the defense dragged it out for three years, potentially past the statute of limitations. The docket still shows my case as “open.” Can I file my response to the dismissal or am I barred now for good?
