I opened an online business when I was 15, but it never sold anything and was later closed by the state for inaction. Now, I want to ensure I'm legally protected and compliant. What should I do?

My mom passed away. She had no will or debt that we knew of. Her home is mortgaged, and we filed for summary of administration. We got it but now we have a company that filed a debt claim for $3,091.00. The lawyer told me to call them and tell them that there were no assets other than her home and $132 in a bank account. Do I need to write a letter, or what do I do about this?

I was arrested for public intoxication in San Antonio, but I was sent to behavioral health instead of jail and never received a ticket or court date. Two weeks later, I got pulled over and asked the officer about the incident, who said a detective is investigating. Can you do a background check on me or see if I have any upcoming court dates?

I had my case dismissed based on a failure to respond to interrogatories. Is that something I can challenge using Rule 60(b)? The judge didn’t specify if the dismissal was with or without prejudice, and the defense dragged it out for three years, potentially past the statute of limitations. The docket still shows my case as “open.” Can I file my response to the dismissal or am I barred now for good?

I was arrested for felony larceny after finding a bag of money at a store, not realizing it was a Walmart deposit, and spending it. This is my first offense, and I have a court date tomorrow. What should I do to address this situation and potentially avoid a criminal conviction?

In my medical malpractice case, my lawyer missed a filing deadline for punitive damages, and I want to find the documentation that shows when these punitive damages were rejected. I also feel trapped by a confidentiality agreement and am questioning whether my lawyer has an obligation to inform me when something like this happens, so I can assess the risk/benefit ratio of continuing the case. What documented proof can I ask for, and does my lawyer have a duty to provide this information and warn me about the implications of missed deadlines?
