I was attacked by a Lyft driver, and during the altercation, I spilled coffee on her car. Now, she wants me to pay the cleaning fee. The police informed me that if we do not settle, we may need to go to court. I am an international student in Massachusetts. What are my legal options and chances of winning if the driver sues me?

Since I was getting chased by a person who wanted to hurt me and I fired shots in the air, wouldn't that be considered self-defense?

I am a domestic violence victim in California. The last abuse happened on 10/13/2022, and I recently had a miscarriage, which the doctor suggested could be a result of the incident or the stress. Does this make a difference in the case, and does the abuser get any additional charges for the miscarriage?

A creditor notified the wrong person about a debt owed or not owed, resulting in a judgement against me without proper notice as required by law. The creditor may have contacted my son who has the same name but lives in a different state. The debt was turned over to a collection agency without notification, and I only found out about this two years later. I need to understand what steps I can take to resolve this issue, including obtaining copies of the notice and understanding the legal implications.

I need information about taking an individual to small claims court because my neighbor owes me money I loaned her. Where are you located? These laws vary by state. I am located in Pride, Louisiana. Is there anything else the Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured that they'll be able to help you. No other information.

I loaned my car to an acquaintance who refused to return it. I filed an unauthorized usage report with the police, which was later changed to auto theft. My insurance company is requesting phone records and text messages from the period I loaned the car until the report was changed to auto theft. Some of my text messages and phone conversations are embarrassing, and a few friends have past histories with drug usage. Can these records be turned over to the authorities by the insurance company if I haven't committed fraud, but had a lapse in judgment by initially trusting the person I loaned my car to?
