Disclosure of parties pre-suit: Is there a legal principle, which obligates one party to provide relevant documentation, evidence, etc… requested by the other party before suit is filed? I’m not talking about discovery that happens after suit is filed. My husband had criminal charges pressed on him for contractor fraud. They listed it as theft over $500. The people that pressed the charges passed away during all the court proceedings (this has been going on for 3 years) and it just keeps getting continued. The children are now trying to take over the charges and telling the courts if we agree to pay them so much money back then they will not pursue him serving jail time. How do I collect against a default judgment received in small claims court Danville, VA? We and our adjacent neighbors are in a dispute over a 4 foot high concrete retaining wall that straddles both of our property lines. We’ve had large clay terra-cotta pots sitting on top of retaining wall with lattice in the pots to obscure the neighbors privacy fence, which is few feet back from the retaining wall. Recently (last week), they decided to start objecting to the clay pots (which are on their property, according to their survey). Would mediation/arbitration be a better, less expensive way to go? Is my son, or we his parents, at legal risk for an accusation of sexual molestation which supposedly happened 20 years ago when he was twelve years old? I am a shareholder of a Co-Op property.

My written complaint was delivered to the corporation’s attorney. I was told that the attorney concurs that the decision was appropriate. Is this really legal or do I have any options to challenge the decision? Settling a class-action case I am one of the 4 lead plaintiffs. Lets say the case settles for $25 million. Do the original 4 people get compensated better than the “mass” off employees jumping on after its made public? How is it then figured? Do they get a higher % or just a flat payment for the extra time they put into it? I am receiving an Interim Distribution Payment for a lawsuit and the letter talks about the payment being 40% of the total payment. The figures that they have given me are labeled as the Interim payment. Does that mean that I will be receiving 40% of that amount minus lawyer fees or is that the amount that I will be receiving now What should one do when the insurance company’s offer for settlement for car accident injuries seems too low? How does one go about finding a good auto accident lawyer? Arbitration and mediation, such as divorce mediation, are forms of ADR (alternative dispute resolution) designed to help people reach a settlement without going to court. Nearly any legal dispute can be arbitrated or mediated. Insurance settlements and personal injury awards may take the form of structured settlements, which may be a particularly good idea if you are of retirement age.
