In a MN civil case, the plaintiff pocket filed a suit against me in November 2012. I timely responded with an answer and discovery requests, but the plaintiff failed to respond adequately to my requests. The plaintiff has not yet filed the suit with the court. What would be the appropriate response to compel proper discovery responses without effectively forcing the plaintiff to file the suit?

Does the increased abandoned vehicle fee in Arizona, which requires payment of additional fees beyond the statutory requirements for registration and license renewal, violate my right to equal protection and due process? Additionally, can the state seize my property without formal charges or a trial, and is it legal to force me to relinquish my property to a private business owner to avoid these fees?

Was in a small corporation for 40 years. I feel that around 1990 my deceased brother and my CPA, without my knowledge, conspired to push me out and to do what benefited my brother. What I wanted to know is whether it would be reported to the local CPA association. I have been robbed but only see pride to gain, Roy Xxxxxx.

A security company placed a boot on my vehicle with a note saying it would be towed in the morning. When I called them the next morning to remove the boot, my truck had vanished along with the boot (according to the security company, it had not been towed). I made a police report that morning. Coincidentally, even though security says they didn't tow it, they found it across the street in another complex with the boot in the back seat. I ended up having to pay $250 to get my truck from the towing company and then called security three times to give them the boot with no response. Now the security company is trying to sue me, saying I still have their boot. What can I do?

I was charged with a drug distribution offense 15 years ago in Fairfax County, VA, under coercion by the police. I was forced to plead guilty by my public defender to avoid a 50-year prison sentence, despite never having sold drugs. The police officer coerced me into obtaining drugs for him by promising a job, and I was subsequently arrested. I want to clear my name and seek justice. What steps can I take to vacate this conviction, and is it possible to compel the officer to take a lie detector test?
