I have a summary judgment in Texas for a credit card debt of $17,310, including $750 in attorney fees and $10,000 conditioned upon unsuccessful appeals. The judge advised me to negotiate the debt, but I can't afford an attorney. What steps should I take to negotiate a lower balance due?

Thinking about purchasing two lots to build mobile homes to rent individually to my brother-in-law and sister. The source of funding would be from a self-managed IRA (via third party administrator). Is this allowed given that the tenants are relatives? What are typical charges incurred by the owner? HOA, Property Taxes, and Insurance? Assuming each unit will cost $120,000 (all cash purchase) for land and manufactured home, what price range would the landlord/owner insurance premium be?

I went to a rehab facility in West Palm Beach, FL, for alcohol treatment and paid $12,000 cash. I signed a payment agreement, but my husband, who was the signer of the $12,000 cashier's check, did not. Upon arrival, they took my belongings and removed the cashier's check without my presence or permission. They never conducted an inventory with me. When my belongings were returned, the check was missing, and an empty bank envelope with $60 was found. I left the facility after 3.5 days due to lack of assistance. They admitted to having the check but took it without my permission. What type of lawyer should I contact, and what legal actions can I take?

In a municipal court matter in Wisconsin, do I have a right to a reply for a motion I submitted for a continuance, especially when the motion is based on life-threatening health issues and supported by medical specialists? Additionally, how can I address the judge's refusal to consider these health issues and what rights do I have regarding my health, disability, right to life, and Equal Protection under the law?

My landlord is having us sign an addendum for a new parking policy that limits us to one parking space for our one-bedroom apartment, despite having two vehicles. We have been at our current residence for a little over three months with free-for-all parking. If my vehicle is towed, I won't be able to commute to work to make my bills. What should I do?
