Legal Answers

15 Questions Answered

July 29, 2017 Q. Can I file a wrongful death claim against a drunk driver that killed my husband? A: Of course. Consult an attorney immediately as there are strict time limits to this kind of case. If you call my office I will answer any questions you may want to ask, free of charge.

June 29, 2017 Q. My 17yr old daughter moved in with her boyfriend and his family. Do I have to still pay ex wife child support A: Before taking any self-help action and terminating child support payments on your own, you should first consult an attorney who will review the situation as well as the current child support order.

In the meantime you may have gotten mom thinking about going for college expenses since she's already in court anyway. You

May 26, 2017 Q. For a death resulting from a fire in an unsafe structure, would the landlord or the city be legally responsible? A: Potentially both. It is impossible to address all possible circumstances where liability might be imposed without more information than what you have provided. You should consult an attorney immediately in order to protect and preserve your rights. There are strict time limits governing suits for wrongful death.
