I live in Ohio and had a tenant who did not send a forwarding address in writing, only through text message and two weeks after moving out. She has sought legal representation for her deposit being wrongfully held. She had violated the lease agreement on several occasions and had an unauthorized pet. There are over $2000 in damages to the house. Should I seek legal counsel and what are the rules regarding message notification? Is this considered 'in writing'?

I was the Power of Attorney (POA) for my dad, who has dementia. His sister checked him out of the hospital and had him sign a new POA without an attorney, which was notarized and filed with the court. What should I do to overturn this new POA, and is it easier to contest the new POA or to file for legal guardianship and conservatorship?

If I go for an emergency guardianship on my father living in the state of Oklahoma but each of us living in a different county, can I go through my county to obtain the emergency guardianship? Both counties are in Cherokee tribal jurisdiction.

I live in Kansas and have questions regarding my brother's homicide investigation. There are many details that don't add up or make sense, such as the autopsy report giving false information and the County Attorney halting any charges being filed despite the KBI and local police department's efforts. What steps can I take to seek justice for my family and ensure a proper investigation?
