A default judgement is a judgement (guilty, innocent, acquitted) that was made by a judge in lieu of a full trial. Generally this involves minor traffic violations in which the defendant doesn't show.

A motion to set aside a default judgement is a request by the defendant or the prosecution to move to a full trial and force both sides to present the case.

A responsive pleading is an answer, where you respond to each allegation made in the petition or complaint. You would also then assert any affirmative defenses or counterclaims.

Start by researching the law under which you are being sued. If you are unable to properly draft it by yourself, you should speak with a lawyer.

Yes if the two states have reciprocal agreements, but usually only if you have already been practicing in your home state for several years. If there is no such agreement, then you will need to sit for the bar, if that other state has a rule that only ABA law school graduates can sit for the bar, then you CANNOT become a lawyer there, as youre not even allowed to test.

Yes indeed. If you owe attorney fees the attorney can sue you in court. If successful, a judgment lien will be issued by the court. That judgment lien can be recorded in the land records against your property. Lawsuits for unpaid attorney's fees are not uncommon.

If you owe the attorney a fee you should try to work out a payments plan and make the payments regularly. Be sure to make it a plan you can live with. Most attorneys would rather work things out with their clients than sue them. Just like everyone else they just wanted to get paid for the work they've done.

Most states have a system for attorney fee disputes to be resolved through some form of mediation or arbitration. If you are contesting the fees, you should contact your local bar association to find out how to mediate your dispute.

Civil law aims to resolve non-criminal disputes such as disagreements over the meaning of contracts, property ownership, divorce, child custordy and damages for personal and property damage. A civil court is a place where people can solve their problems with people peacefully.

The function of civil law is to provide a legal remedy to solve problems.

you are entitled to a trial, if you feel the eviction is in error, see your clerk of courts for the step by step process to fight the evictin. you may have as little as 5 days from the date of summons. each state is different. OR pack your bags!

Depends on the nature of the civil suit. If its a simple debt collection lawsuit- a chpt. 7 can discharge the debt. If its a lawsuit seeking money damages due to fraud, then it might not be dischargeable if the creditor files a proof of claim.

If the driver who has no coverage is involved in an accident that is his fault, he can loose everything he owns and everything he will make in the future to repay damages he has done to the other party.

It is a criminal case.

The majority of judgments are renewable, some would carry specific time limits as to how long and/or how many times the action was viable.

A civil trial begins with the filing of a complaint with the court. A complaint indicates the harm the plaintiff believes the defendant has caused and asks the court for a remedy. For a detailed explanation of the civil law process, please see the related link below.

Yes, you can sue, because it should be against permit policiy. :)

It is also a safety hazard because it could contain blood from someones body that could be contaminated with all sorts of disease, potentially making you very ill.

You can't sue just because it is there. You would need to claim some kind off damage from it.

Most restaurant owners will feel genuinely embarrassed by it and offer some compensation as a customer satisfaction issue as well as to prevent publicity and reports to the board of health.

A claimant is a person who files to receive benefits. All claimants have some sort of legal claim on something, like an insurance, deed to a house or title to a car, things of that nature.

Depending on the severity of the damages, it's negligence or gross negligence.

By "lost judgement" it will be assumed that you mean that you "lost" the case.

If that is the case, you may appeal the case to the appelate level of the court system, but you will have to show that a clear miscarriage of justice, or incorrect finding of law, occurred for the appelate level court to even consider reviewing your appeal. Consult with an attorney with the specifics of your case for an opinion on this.

You could attempt to sue in small claims court as recourse. However, if the limb was hanging over their property line in any way the neighbor is legally justified in cutting the limb back until it no longer crosses their property line. On the other hand if there was no notice/request provided by the neighbor, they trespassed onto your property or some issue with the tree is caused by the neighbors removal (i.e. the tree becomes diseased or dies from the limb removal) there could be some form of legal recourse. ==Clarification== A tree problem is best addressed in a friendly manner and by the cooperation of the parties involved. However, many neighbors who own large trees are uncooperative. If limbs from your tree are hanging over your neighbor's property and causing a problem those limbs can be cut back to the property line with or without notice to you or your permission. The work should be performed by a certified arborist. If the neighbors can agree on a professional trimming and the tree owner is willing to grant permission, a more aesthetic pruning can be done if the arborist is allowed to prune the offending branches back to their collar and try to maintain the symmetry of the tree. The results may be more pleasing than branches cut off at the property line. The right to trim branches hanging over your property from a neighbor's tree has evolved from old English common law.

The taxability of court settlements depends on what the settlement is for. If it is compensation for a loss, in general it is not taxable. If it is a 'penalty' it will be taxable. Your attorney should be able to tell you what is taxed and what is not taxed. Or consult your tax professional.

I sense that someone has filed a bogus claim against you and that either one of two things happened afterward. (1) A default was entered against you or (2) After trial the judge or jury ruled against you. Either way there is a judgment against you that you believe to be false.

There is a matter of collection as a result. Be the judgment good or bad, simply sitting by and doing nothing may result in your wages being garnished, your assets and bank acounts attached or any inhereitence attached, perhaps other things depending on your state.

You need to seek legal counsel about whether the judgment against you is legally void and if so, how get relief from it, if such relief is available in your state.
