I bought a property in Louisiana from the owner. The owner had a copy of the plat and the attorney wrote up the contract stating the property I bought identifying the plat which last updated in 1955. The attorney told me not to waste my money on title insurance for only $136 for he knew there were no liens and that was all it was good for. When building my home on the property, an issue came up with the setback line. I had it surveyed and the survey showed that part of the property I bought was not included. Does the attorney have an obligation or errors and omissions policy to cover his mistake? If I research and find out the buyer sold part to the city, can I file fraud charges? I purchased in November 2003. They are now widening the road and it is going right in front of my house. Please advise if I have recourse?

My boyfriend had court last Wednesday for receiving stolen property and taking a vehicle without the owner's permission. On the way to court, he was arrested for possession and taken into custody before he could make it to court. Will the judge understand that he couldn't make it to court due to being in custody, and if he goes to court today, will the judge place him back in custody considering the situation?

Verizon has charged me an unexpected $340 for a phone call to Geneva due to a service change I initiated but wasn't informed about. I don't intend to pay it. Is there any way I can bring this to Small Claims if they continue to bill me and decide to pursue it?

I am disabled from the military and am restricted on driving with my children due to a judge's order in my divorce case, despite no history of accidents, speeding tickets, or negative medical recommendations. What legal protections or precedents exist to challenge this restriction based on my mild Ataxia condition?
