My husband worked as a tow truck operator for a LLC company.  The tow truck needed some work so he took it to the macanic.  When the truck was fixed my husband noticed that there was paper work missing, so he called the police.  My husband has since moved to another company.  I was cleaning out a closet and found some things that belonged to this company so I called the owner to return them to him.  He told me over the phone that he is going to sue my husband for loosing valueable paper work.  We do not have enough money to hire a lawyer (I know of laywers who help low income, but you are never garentteed that you will get one.)  It has already been 3 months since this guy told me my husband will be sued.  Is there a limitation on a case like this?  Please help.  Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Unless he can show that your husband should have known the person would steal the paperwork(that'd be tough to prove), took the paperwork or misplaced the paperwork there's nothing that can be done.  Since he contacted the police there's a report to back him up.  Also in order to sue he'd have to show how he lost money because of the missing paperwork.  If all that happened was he got a slap on the hand from someone there's nothing for him to collect on.  \n\nNow my question is what were the "items" you found in the closet?  Was this the paperwork?  Was it items of value?

Those bastards.  It doesn't surprise me how they work.\nI guess you have 2 basic choices:\n1. Pay a steep fine and towing, storage & administrative costs to get your boat back and try to forget the incident, or\n2.  Pay big bucks and hire a lawyer and hope he can fight for you and maybe win only on principal.\n\nIn any event you have already lost and will continue to loose.\n(only your lawery will win $)\n\nI recommend # 1 above.

You are focused...\n\nThe order stands, and I read from your last question it was in small claims court. That will be tough. It will take money to track him down, and the most you can be awarded in small claims is $2K.\n\nTalk to the sheriff's office and to an investigation agency. You'll have to get this person under your thumb, since as soon as you find him, he can change jobs. Also, make sure the court notifies the credit bureaus to post a judgment.

Pray that he backed up. And am assuming he didn't. You can take it in to a professional and if he hasn't written over anything, assume he couldn't, they can get it back.

Sounds like your attorney isnt doing the job you pay for.  \n\nIs there a court order for support?  Is it paid thru the county support office where you live?  Both of these should be true.  If they arent fix it.  \n\nCan you provide proof he has not been paying legally obligated support?  If so, no judge in the country will fail to order him to make good.  Likewise, failure to do so over a certain period or amount will result in the court taking action.  They can take his drivers license, and worse even put him in jail.  \n\nNo matter he is self employed.  You can go by his tax returns and the court will order him to produce the documents.  \n\ntry going to legal aid where you live\n\nI paid my support religiously for 15 years and never missed a payment.

I can't stand you people who are giving horrible advice. If you file suit against someone and they file bankruptcy, you are still able to collect. Judgments are non dischargeable when filing Bankruptcy. Any court order form of payments are nondischargeable. You get a judgment and record it with the clerk/state, it is vaild for 10 years and if the defendant receives any money or assets you can place a lien on them. Also, if you get a judgment you and your attorney can file a citation to discover assets to get your settlement. They will then need to sell any assets they own (up to a certain amount) to satisfy your judgment.\n\nDo not take the first amount the insurance company offers you. You can get more. Even without an attorney you need to ask for things other things like gas that was in your car, if you had new tires, they usually will pay the tax on a new car up to the value of your old car, the title and license. You can accept the check from you insuance company and then sue her and her insuance for reimbursement. Your insurance will put a lien on the amount you recover usually 2/3s of what they paid out. Don't give your insurance company any information that will incriminate you. You can tell them you are seeking counsel and will be intouch with them about it.\n\nIf you are moving out of state, you need to make sure that you are able to go back to the county that you are moving from because you need to file suit in either the county you lived when this happened, county it happened in or the county that she live in. (assuming they are all different)

I almost can't believe what I'm reading, but ok.  I'm not sure what a qick claim deed is, but I would talk to my lawyer, because just because his name isn't on the loan doesn't mean that he will not maybe have to help you pay for the house first off, secondly, what banker in his right mind would let your husband off the hook once he's got him?  maybe email me or post what a qick claim is plz, and I can be (maybe) more helpful

I agree....I DIDN'T sue when an 18 yr. old 8 1/2 mo. pregnant girl made a left in fron of me. I had an eye witness who pulled over and told the cop it wasn't my fault, I could not have avioded it. \n\nThe girl told the cop that the truck in front of her turned left so she did too- duh! The cop asked her if she knew that she should not turn unless the intersection was clear - she said yes -  double duh!\n\nI spent months going for physical therapy for  bulging disk. I'll always have to do phys. ter. exercises. Totaled my car. But I felt it was the right thing to do....am I stupid or what?

Have no idea because each state has its own rules for small claims court.  In any event, you don't sue the conservator, you sue the defendant.  The conservator then answers or shows up on behalf of the defendant.  It may be that your state allows or requires that you serve the papers on the conservator, not the defendant, on the theory that the defendant is unable to handle his affairs even to the extent of handing the papers to the conservator.\n\nCheck with the clerk when you go down to file the case.  \nOr, file the case, have the defendant served, and then let the conservator try to move the case from small claims to regular court.

(1) Send the demand letter, requesting your $$ back; however, do not say that you will request punitive damages if they do not settle, give them a time limit to respond say 1 month to 6 weeks, then file suit. (2) if you sue, then ask for court cost and lawyer fees (missed work  and transportationcannot be recovered under the law)and ask for punitive damages (do not specify an amount, the court might give you more or less than the $1000.00 you are seeking )  the court can award punitive damages if the actions of the company was wrong. I WOULD CHECK AND SEE IF THIS COULD BE TAKEN TO A NJ SMALL CLAIMS COURT, THAT WAY YOU WOULD NOT NEED AN ATTORNEY.

You can sue, but that doesn't mean you can be successful at a lawsuit.\n\nIf the "something that supposedly happened" was that long ago, a lawsuit will probably be dismissed because of the statute of limitations.\n\nYou need to consult with a California attorney to protect your own interests, as well as those of your husband.

I would send him a letter informing him that you have contacted a lawyer regarding the matter and the issue needs to be solved by such-and-such date. After that? Small claims court. Take it to Judge Judy!

call labour relations (That's what it is called in Canada) and explain your situation, they will take care of it for free and make sure that they don't screw someone else around next time.  Also make sure that you have all of the paperwork to back up your side of the story, dates, times worked and anuthing else that might come up.  That way you will have the best case possible.  If you win he could also be fined, so even calling him and making that threat could be efective enough.  If he has done this before and been investigated, it could cause him alot of trouble that he won't want.

this is gonna be impossible to prove , the fact is your car was there around that time , and you arguement that it was only a matter of minutes will work both ways , you say 6;59 she says 7;04 , if you go in saying you were there at 6;59 that is like admiting guilt ......... you are gona lose time from work going to court  and a letter is a laughable defense ....... just pay the cash and move the car at 6;30 next time

call any lawyer in the phone book.  Most could handle the job.  Yes, you have a right to sue.  You might want to check into the process of "small claims court".  I don't believe you'll need a lawyer then -- it's a more relaxed court (you just tell your side of the story to the judge).

He has to be served with the papers but; each state has their own rules, check out findlaw.com or you state assembly for the particulars on the matter.  I am certain they have a procedure for this kind of thing.  Based on what you are saying it sounds like abandonment provided you haven't spoken to him since he left.  I'm no lawyer but; don't sweat it, the one you hired will know what to do.
