I missed the due date for submitting my Statement of Issues and Contentions due to extreme bias from the judge and financial hardships, including being homeless for several weeks. I am hesitant to provide the complete reason for my lateness due to the judge's bias and the injustices I've faced. Should I mention my attorneys' faults and my lack of funds, or focus only on the attorneys' faults since I'm also trying to win custody? Is the Statement of Issues and Contentions my last chance to present evidence in court before a settlement conference and trial?

I stayed in a hotel and caught scabies, which I was diagnosed with at the ER the next morning. I want to sue, but I can't find a lawyer. Where are you located? These laws vary by state. I live in Santa Cruz, CA, but this happened in Roseburg, OR. How can I determine if I have a case and what steps should I take?

I need to talk to someone about where FedEx leaves my packages. They leave them in the street, even though my house is 400 ft. off the street and my driveway is clear for trucks to drive to my house. I am having two expensive office chairs delivered tomorrow, and my husband and I, as senior citizens, cannot carry them from the street. What steps can I take to ensure delivery to my house?

I loaned a family member $4000 for a down payment on their house. There is no written agreement, but he verbally promised to pay back. He is not denying the loan but refuses to pay it back. It has been two years since I gave the money. Is it too late to put a lien on his house through the courts? If not, is there a simple and inexpensive way to start this process to ensure I get my money back if he ever sells his home?
