Yes lucinda definitely helped me during my lawsuit. It was tough a year and 9 months. Did my summary judgment for defamation and other cause of action and won. Now im just stuck for damages. I got the liability out the way but still trying to get damages. For the record, I sued 3 individuals and did everything from filing, amending complaints, discovery and then summary.

I tried to go pro se never filed. Gave up as of yesterday. Realized there wasnt enough resources out there to help me get through my situation. The reason i thought to go pro se was because no one would take my case. Most wouldn't even give me the time of day to even hear it. Just either automatically decline saying they are at capacity, never call back, say they don't handle my kind of case, or it was one of those firms that only took big buck cases. I wanted justice and accountability but the more i tried to research how to put my case together the farther away my goal became. The system is set up to make it difficult for some cases. Especially when it is against educational institutions.

Interrogatories are fine Admissions are fine and remember there may be limits on numbers but you can sometimes do second and third set of questions. Be aware that you cam always during the discovery process ask the court/ motion to extend time for discovery. In my case Defendants with held 1038 unmarked documents less than 24 hours before discovery closed. In hind site I should have asked the Judge to extend time again.

Good evening all I appreciate all the information I’m I New York and I’m in litigation in a foreclosure action in which I’m pro sa I have been in court since 2007 going back and forth my case was dismissed and then the plaintiffs came back with another action and different index numbers the judge gave the plaintiffs in there favor a summary judgment in which I had to appeal and the appeal reversed the order and decision please look at Wells Fargo vs William carrington Now it’s returning to lower court Where I put in a motion to dismiss and the plaintiff did a cross motion and summary judgement the court denied there summary judgement but also denied motion to dismiss the judge gave a reason why he dismissed the plaintiff summary judgment is that he wasn’t going over the appeal order and decision but the judge never gave me a reason why the court denied my motion to dismiss I asked for clarification on why he denied my motion to dismiss the court clearly came back to me stating that’s there no need for clarity take it to trial I have a question the federal rule of civil procedure can it apply

How did he learn law to sue initially?
@EdisonFlow510
@EdisonFlow510 Месяц назад
More than likely he studied federal and local rules of civil procedure. All you need to know about bringing a suit can be found there, depending on the district you live in, local rules may slightly vary but federal civil rules apply every where and tell you exactly how to bring the suit. Studying the rules of civil procedure is just scratching the surface but that's how you learn how to sue.

Defendants did not file a motion to dismiss Mr. Lee's Race and Age Discrimination claims. Thus, the Court did not dismiss them. (See page 2 of the Court's Order, here): casetext.com/case/lee-v-comprehensive-health-mgmt The Defendants' motion to dismiss was against Mr. Lee's remaining claims: Gender, Sexual Orientation, Individual Liability claims, and RICO.

Some great inspiration to be aggressive, proactive, etc. when engaged with the other side. Him being so jolly, colorful, and entertaining probably worked in his favor to somewhat disarm and “entertain” the judge and opposing counsel… but I have questions. Was it really drawn out litigation… or just proceedings that led to a neat settlement? Speaking from personal experiences and observance of other attorneys over a period of (4) years, it’s weirdly refreshing to see this guy so entertaining post-litigation (assuming that’s what it really was). Do we have case numbers? What jurisdictions?
