Q. I have to clear two expired; unsatisfied judgments. To negotiate a settlement, what type of lawyer do I need for this

April 19, 2022

A: A bankruptcy lawyer should be able to provide you with legal advice and representation for this matter. In fact, both of those judgments may have expired and become unenforceable due to the passage of time, unless they were timely renewed.

Q. Storage is confinscated

March 7, 2022

A: It is not legal what they are doing. The statute of limitations on that contract and any warehouse lien expired more than a decade ago. They are in breach of your new contract, guilty of conversion, fraud, and in violation of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing. They would have been within their rights to reject your business. But having accepted your new business their recent action is in violation of a plethora of your legal rights. I suggest you threaten to sue them unless they immediately remove the lockout!

Q. Can we do an agreement without A?

March 4, 2022

A: Sure, you can do it yourself, but if you want an enforceable agreement, you should have a lawyer handle it. Frankly, I see no point to any this and I think your just getting played. If B wants to pay, then what is stopping B? A and B are probably the same person. Even if they are different, I'm sure neither one will pay you, and I smell a trick is being played on you by both parties, possibly involving a corporate shelI game. I suggest you proceed with a small claims court case against your debtor, immediately.
