karl fungus posted:I'm probably going to go with the police route. I live near a precinct, so I can just walk there and find someone to talk to about this. Don't the police want evidence, though? I don't have anything concrete to give them. Your remedies if any are very likely civil or through a residential tenancy board. What is it that you think the police will do for you?

No but you don't get it, man. My consciousness... it ended. How do I know I didn't die? How did I know I'm the same person that I was before they injected me against my will? Why wouldn't a court want to recognize my half-assed stoner philosophical objection to routine surgical procedure? Next time get cut open without anesthetic if it was so damaging for you to be out for like an hour you big bitch

YancyQ posted:Thanks for the help. I checked the county zoning map and they are zoned as a residency; which is weird because the building is totally a church. I'll submit a complaint with zoning that the property is being used as a live music venue and see what happens. You're missing the point of this exercise. You find where they're non-compliant and threaten them with it, not turn them in right away

Trials are a tremendous amount of preparation and work. 10,000$ for a not particularly complicated half day or one day trial is about what you'd expect with experienced counsel

I'd be pretty surprised if you didn't have to sign a retainer that had his fees in it already. Also, I don't know the facts of your case, but getting diversion / community hours probably took some work. I doubt you would have got that outcome on your own, especially seeing as how you can't go two sentences without writing how awful the cops are and what a miscarriage this all is. Prosecutors love that poo poo.

Pay your bill, do your community service, don't pick fights with the cops no more. You hired a professional and got a good outcome because of his hard work, and you turn around and cry about how he bills his mileage

A good, triable one day summary conviction trial is like 50 hours worth of prep work. You pay for defense counsel who had the time to get ready and then run roughshod over the prosecutor, who was running 10 hearings that day

I wasn't talking DUI. Impaireds are high traffic (ha!) poo poo where the triable issues are the same like 90% of the time. That's why dudes can run trials for 1000$, because they're running the same trial most of the timeAgesilaus posted:Is under half good or bad? I don't even know how they'd keep track of what each trial costs the state, because accurate statistics for the number of cases taken to trial don't exist. If you sit down and try to figure out what the judge, prosecutor, court-appointed defence, court time, all the police investigation, state witnesses, community corrections, and the big daddy, jail time, cost the taxpayers for dudes stealing smokes and beating on the women that come back to them every other week, it gets kind of dizzying terrorist ambulance fucked around with this message at 06:27 on Dec 4, 2012 |

If he's mistaken and his next appearance isn't to perfect the diversion but is instead to confirm he's done the community service and make submissions on further sentence he may quickly discover why you pay someone 250$/hr to be ready for these things

Ashcans posted:I was going to say, I am pretty sure this is something that just varies by firm and client. If you are working for some huge firm that does tons of work for big companies, you can probably bill them all sorts of things and they won't blink because their legal budget is a quadrillion dollars and your $20 meal isn't poo poo. But if you are in a tiny firm/solo working in family law and you try to bill your steak-and-strippers limo ride to some lower-middle income dude in his divorce, it's not going to fly. Even for smaller firms with less sophisticated clients I don't totally see what the issue is. They probably wouldn't complain if you didn't charge by line (.03 cents/copy, 10$ food for working after six) and just charged a slightly higher hourly rate (260$/hr instead of 250$/hr). And those kind of incidental, reasonable expenses are chump change compared to the real expenses. If a client is distressed about buying cheap chinese on your 14th hour on the office, I would like to be in the room when they find out how much it's going to be to have a doctor prepared for, and present at, trial

If will is being probated it's probably in a public court file. If you or one of your kids is a beneficiary you should be able to look at the will. I also love the practiced indifference to money that can only come from people with lots of it in their family. "Could be a couple million dollars in trust for me? Ho hum, whatever, I suppose I'll make a post on the internet about it" Call the executor or hire a lawyer to look into it for you

I don't see how having an agent look at the court file or contact her for you to find out what / if anything your children are entitled to would require to deal with her

xxEightxx posted:We new to add to the op, in addition to the landlord tenant and criminal issues FAQ, a section about how 'everyone else doing it' or 'they never ticket for these types of things before' not only is not a defense, but has the opposite of intended effect in that it requires you to admit you broke the law. Also please add "my buddy's lawyer got them to drop his charge like nothing, why can't you" edit: also that "impersonating the guy to nab his associates" is like the first thing cops do when they arrest a guy with 6 cellphones in his pockets, it's probably legal/constitutional

Yeah and then next the justice system will accept the fact that people will falsely confess for all kinds of reasons, after which we'll dispose of testminonial demeanour as a method of judging credibility because it turns out people can lie convincingly while others can tell the truth so that it sounds like a lie, after which a unicorn ridden by Mila Kunis and Scarlett Johanson pulling a wagon of sex toys and lube will ride out of the sunset and carry me to Valhalla

Basically nothing. Get default judgment or whatever, he's skipped town, is probably judgment proof, and even if he's not AND you manage to get a judgment, you're left trying to collect on 1000$. Give a sheriff's company a call, see if they're willing to seize some poo poo to sell on a 1,000$ judgment, tell me how hard they laugh at you. Guard yourself better in the future, chalk it up as a learning experience edit: also lol at "will they issue a warrant for failing to appear for a small claims matter". It takes a month's missed rent to turn you into a Dickensian villain hoping that all those that have slighted you will be arrested and/or jailed for their insolence terrorist ambulance fucked around with this message at 05:22 on Jan 5, 2013 |

You can probably get an order for seizure & sale for a vehicle if you had a judgment. Look at your state's civil / small claims rules. I doubt anyone is going to enforce it for you though vv There's probably some forms down at the local courthouse or online regarding small claims debtor remedies. Look into it a bit and then give up when you find what a pain in the rear end it is to garnish wages even if someone has a steady job and you know where they work vv terrorist ambulance fucked around with this message at 21:20 on Jan 5, 2013 |

There's pieces in there that are legal issues, there's pieces in there that are issues where you and your ex need to just grow up, no one is going to be able to tell you what they are online. Borrow or beg some money, retain a lawyer, get them to help you. Give up on the fantasy that you are going to be able to muddle your way through this with some textbooks and piecemeal advice from Ask / Tell

Dunno what the provincial court system is like in ON, but in BC he could file basically anything in response to a notice of civil claim (IE: I don't owe nobody nothin, gently caress you, gently caress this gay court, I'm out) and the matter would progress to a mandatory settlement conference or mediation, and then a trial. A one or two hour small claims trial is currently booking in a year to a year and a half out at the busiest registries. Presuming you were successful at trial or settled it early, you would then need to attach a charge to his personal property or tools, garnish wages or other monies owable to him, or apply for an order of seizure and sale and pay a sheriff to take some of his poo poo to sell. Assuming the best case scenario (ie: you can find and properly serve him, get default judgment, and he has some assets that can be garnished, seized, or charged -- which is a big if, the enforcement act in BC, for example, has carve-outs for tools, personal possessions, wages, and vehicles) you're looking at a couple months of work and a couple hundred bucks worth of fees. Worst case, he successfully defends the claim, or if not, drags it out for a year or two. None of the foregoing is legal advice or intended to be relied upon, but you begin to see why people are telling you to consider whether it's an amount you want to pursue. also button up the sass, if you don't want people telling you that you're dumb, access the free public resources that are easily googleable that will tell you the same things we've been telling you, and you won't have to publicly disclose and be made fun of for giving a bunch of cash to some guy you didn't know

Also some (most?) process serving companies offer skip trace and/or location services, which you probably know cause you've called them and found out it costs more than it'd be worth for 2,000$, and are looking for a different answer
