I have a situation where a lawyer in Michigan has stopped responding to my emails, calls, and texts after handling a large case for me. I have spoken to the Michigan Bar Association, who advised filing an investigation, but I just want to get my file to hire another attorney. What is the proper way to obtain my file from the unresponsive lawyer?

I filed an In Forma Pauperis (IFP) application and learned via phone call that it was denied, with the Deputy Clerk stating 'you make too much money.' I have not received a written copy of the denied motion, as required by law. I am concerned that the Judge may not have seen my IFP application, and the Clerk decided I was not eligible on their own, which is contrary to law. Should I contact the Clerk for a copy of the denied motion, or is filing a writ of mandamus with the Appellate Court a more appropriate next step?

I was in the hospital and under stress when I was misled into signing a document that I thought was just for information purposes, but now I find out it's a binding contract to sell my home for far below its worth. I was told I could back out at any time, but now I'm being threatened and feel completely taken advantage of. What can I do to get out of this contract, and can I still sell my home through a different title company without interference from the other party?

My medical doctor retired last May, and I'm trying to have my records sent to my new doctor. The new practice is charging me $1 per page (over $200) for the records. I believe the records are my property, but they claim they own them. I offered to pick up the records myself to avoid any charges. What are my rights regarding these medical records, and how should I handle this situation in New Jersey?

Is there an age requirement for butchering chickens for personal consumption in Oregon, specifically if the chickens are chicks rather than fully grown?
