I have a federal EEOC lawsuit against FEMA in Louisiana. My prior attorney left his firm and may have missed case deadlines for me. Can I do a case inquiry myself to find out the stage of my case, and what is the average cost for hiring an attorney to do the inquiry? If my prior attorney missed deadlines and did not inform me, is there any way to continue my case with some sort of refiling or appeal?

My business partner, with whom I lived for twelve years and who now wants to sell both the business and the house we own, is not willing to negotiate. I have paid my share of the mortgage and want to continue with the business, which is a franchise with several franchisees under us. I am concerned about their welfare and my ex-partner's bitterness. There is no partnership business contract, but there is a franchisor agreement. What legal steps can I take to resolve this situation?

We are a hard-working husband and wife without an attorney, dealing with ongoing court issues related to our children with the ex-wife who has a strong attorney. We have two main concerns: 1) How can we ensure our availability is considered when setting court dates, and 2) Can I, as the wife, speak in court even though I am not a party to the suit?

A minor (15 years old at the time) was involved in a car accident on 11/29/2009 while driving her father's truck, with his consent. The minor's driver's license and vehicle registration were suspended due to an unsatisfied judgment from the accident. The family received a Dismissal Docket Notice on June 10, 2011, stating the case would be dismissed for lack of prosecution unless a Motion to Retain was filed. No further notices were received until a Notice of Unsatisfied Judgment from the insurance company was sent years later. The minor, now 19, is unable to drive and faces a $5800 restitution demand. Should the father be held responsible, and how can the suspension be lifted?

I received a 'JUDGMENT AND MINUTE ORDER ON SMALL CLAIMS APPEAL' stating that the defendant will deposit $500.00 in 2001 and $500.00 in 2002 into a bank account for the minor, Sydney Carlson, with both parties as trustees. The defendant closed the account after a couple of years. Do I have any legal right to sue him in small claims court in California?

Can I remove someone's name from my property deed in Greenbrier County, WV, if I am the owner and grantor, and she is stated on the deed as the grantee to take full ownership upon my death? Can I still legally sell the property to someone else making them the grantor of the deed without her knowledge?
