The cost of obtaining a lien depends largely on the type of propery, the type of debt, whether you obtained a security agreement and whether the law grants you any special status to file a lien without going to court like a mechanic's lien. If you are a secured lender, you already have a lien. If you have special status like a contractor, you may be able to record a lien for a small fee or assert a lien by keeping property already in your possession. If you are unsecured, you may need to file a lawsuit and get a judgment lien after you win the case. The actual cost could range from a few dollars to hundreds or thousands of dollars if you have to sue in court first.

Yes, it is possible to be arrested for not appearing at a civil hearing for wage garnishment. If you fail to attend a court-ordered hearing, the judge may issue a warrant for your arrest. It is important to comply with court orders and attend scheduled hearings to avoid legal consequences.

You need to consult with an attorney who can review your situation and explain your options.

If you have been properly served - you have to respond either in writing or show up in court. If you haven't been properly served - there is no action. Debt collection lawyers try really hard to fake you out on this, be careful. Perhaps you should ask another question with more specifics.

In most civil cases it is only necessary for a reasonable attempt be made to serve the defendant(s). All US states have laws which allow creditor suits and certain other cases to be tried (heard) and judgment to be rendered with or without the presence of the defendant(s).

There are many jurisdictions that have varying degrees of liability so any answer will be general and must not be taken to be an accurate answer.

Usually, a landlord has a duty of care to provide safe and reliable electrical wiring in a house. If he fails in this duty, there may well be a liability to make good damage to a renter's equipment. It is usually up to the renter to prove that a faulty installation was the cause of damage and also, that the landlord could be expected to know the installation is faulty.

However, the landlord will not be responsible for property that has been damaged after the renter is aware that a problem exists. To persist in connecting televisions that are damaged due to mains wiring is careless and the landlord will not be responsible for the renter's carelessness.

A blown tv due to the electrical supply would not ordinarily be due to the ground. A loose connection in the hot or neutral contacts in the outlet would be more likely. But at any rate, I agree with the answer above, that after you know of a problem, any damage is on you since you shouldn't be using that outlet.

The 7th amendment was put in to guarantee the right to trial by jury in civil cases. Trial by jury in criminal cases is guaranteed under the 6th amendment. For more comprehensive explanation, seek out Findlaw on your search engine.

The judge meets with all the involved parties and their legal counsel to see if a settlement can be reached without going to trial. The judge will review all pertinent information such as discovery documents, interrogatiories, etc. and then give his or her non binding opinion as to the merits of the case.

The right for a citizen to have a trial by jury in civil suits for an amounts in excess of $20. The majority of US states have established laws that disallow a trial by jury in many civil cases. The basic fact is no state can enact a law which infringes on or takes away the constitutional right of person. That means that a person has the right if they wish to go through the legal process of challenging a state law that directly relate to the matter. The use of the fourteenth amendment is the way in which the majority of state laws are challenged as being unconstitutional on the grounds of selective incorporation.
The 7th amendment protects your right to have a trial by jury.

When was the 7th Amendment made? According to my little handbook, "The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America," printed and published by the Cato Institute: "The first ten Amendments (the Bill of Rights) were ratified effective December 15, 1791." Please, please--Find a copy of these documents, preferably with a discussion and clarification by someone with the reputation of the Cato Institute, and read them! I had read all this stuff when I was in school, and when I read them again in this little booklet, it was as if I was reading it for the first time! The explanation and text together is priceless. I had even forgotten the part about government deriving its power from the people to be governed! "....Reason is the foundation of the Founders' vision--the method by which we justify our political order--liberty is its aim. Thus, the cardinal moral truths are these:

that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by the Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness--That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed.

We are all created equal, as defined by our natural rights; thus, no one has rights superior to those of anyone else. Moreover, we are born with those rights, we do not get them from government--indeed, whatever rights or powers government has come from us, from 'the Consent of the Governed.'" There is more to this great quotation! It is priceless, and vital for all Americans to learn this!! Government receives power to govern from the people it governs. We allow the government to have only certain limited powers over us. Anything beyond that becomes tyranny and/or the basis for a dictator to take the reins of government and stick the people with slavery in some form. Please obtain a copy of this valuable little booklet. "Additional copies of this booklet can be purchased for $1 each by calling toll-free 1-800-767-1241 (noon to 9:00 p.m. eastern time).

Please read this book, keep it by your side, in your purse or pocket, in your car, by your computer, etc. Buy extra copies and pass them out to your friends and neighbors. It is embarrassing how many citizens of this great country know nothing about the two most important documents that exist in this country!

The fourth amendment prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures.

"I consider trial by jury as the only anchor ever yet imagined by man, by which a government can be held to the principles of its constitution." - Thomas Jefferson

More than likely the defendant is using a technicality that can be as simple as the wording in the original filing petition(s). The party involved may be able to modify the suit or may need to refile the entire case. State laws govern the civil action process, therefore any remedy available depends on the applicable state statutes.

-alcohol consumption -mouthwash -diabetic ketoacidosis. Not so much an alcohol smell, but a fruity smell as the body releases ketones to rid itself of severely high blood sugar. A person in this situation may appear to be intoxicated on alcohol because of the hyperglycemia. Blood tests would demonstrate a high blood sugar reading instead of a high blood alcohol level. This is a dangerous condition requiring hospitalization.

Generally, anyone who has personal knowledge of relevant matters, is able to understand the importance of telling the truth, and is willing to take the oath (swear to tell the truth) is competent to be a witness unless a statute or rule says otherwise (for example under Federal Rule of Evidence 605, the judge presiding over the case cannot be a witness in that same case).

You certainly can attempt it. The judge would have to re-consider his ruling, but it might be possible.

get an attorney!

and you have to have a good reson to file a lawsuit and have a good lawyer

FIle it with the Clerk of the Court's office.

Unclean hands, sometimes clean hands doctrine or dirty hands doctrine is an equitable defense in which the defendant argues that the plaintiff is not entitled to obtain an equitable remedy on account of the fact that the plaintiff is acting unethically or has acted in bad faith with respect to the subject of the complaint-that is, with "unclean hands".
