I need to hire a lawyer to write a letter for me. The lawyer must be located in VA, DC, or MD. I will provide a rough draft. I am suing my neighbor because she cut down a tree (without my consent) which grew 50% on my property. The purpose of the letter is to persuade her to settle out of court. Where can I find a lawyer to write this letter, as I am unable to do so on the Martindale website or JustAnswer?

I was given a First Offenders Act in 2015 for a 2014 arrest in Georgia, which was for a Forgery case, Felony 1. I want to pursue a career in Law Enforcement or Law School but am concerned about meeting ethical and moral standards due to this past offense. What are my chances of being accepted into these fields, and what steps can I take to improve my prospects?

I signed a consent judgment, and it seems my attorney and the other party's attorney made a deal. My attorney told me that if I did not sign, the judge would put a restraining order on me and I could possibly go to jail and be charged with a felony. I did nothing wrong; I was a victim of harassment. I decided to write the judge a letter, and he told me to get another attorney and was interested in my case. He could not comment otherwise and could not give legal advice. What kind of attorney do I need?

I have a contract with a mechanic to replace and upgrade the engine and transmission of my vehicle, paid a deposit, and have not received my vehicle back after 4 months. The mechanic took out the transmission and engine on the third day, signed a contract, sent messages indicating repairs were ongoing, and set a date for completion, but now refuses to answer calls. I have messages showing deceit, made two trips to the mechanic, and nothing has been done. I have been lied to, treated rudely, and my reputation has been damaged. What can I do?

I was contacted by a timeshare reseller who says they have a buyer and need $4,446 to get an RFC number and that needs to be wired. They also told me I need to pay state taxes of ~$7K before the closing, which they say is a new regulation that went into effect in July 2017 in certain states in Mexico (Nuevo Vallarta). The buyer is supposed to pay IVC taxes. Something does not seem right here. Where can I find information on these new Mexican state real estate taxes and why does it need to be paid before closing and why can't the buyer pay it?

My dog was hit and killed by a car. The insurance company who insured the car wants me to pay for repairs. Am I liable? I am in Tennessee, and the insurance company has already paid for the repairs and now wants me to reimburse them. Johnson County does not have leash laws.
