My grandmother wrongfully evicted me and hasn't allowed me to retrieve my items for over a month. She is now claiming I owe her a storage fee and won't let me get my items until it's paid. She also called the Department of Children and Families (DCF) and filed a complaint against me. What legal actions can I take for the wrongful eviction, how do I protect myself from the DCF complaint, and what should I do about the storage fee and her accusations of theft and assault?

I live in Ohio and bought a car from a couple in Texas. The vehicle has a clear title, but it's in the name of a previous owner who is no longer in the country. The couple needed $2000 to transfer the title into their name before transferring it to me, which I paid. However, they couldn't complete the transfer. Is it possible to get the title transferred directly to me through the court system, or what is the process to sue in small claims in Texas or Ohio for the return of my money if necessary?

My husband had a neck surgery in Oregon, but after the surgery, he collapsed due to a doctor's error that required a second surgery and a hospital stay. We consulted a local lawyer who said suing was not feasible due to the difficulty in finding a doctor to testify against another. We also have to pay for both surgeries and the doctor's bills. Could you explain why we have to pay these bills and if there's any way to seek compensation for the malpractice?
