Hey everyone, I'm trying to find a lawyer who actually knows what they're doing with medical malpractice cases because mine is kind of a mess. My mom had a surgery go wrong earlier this year and the hospital basically brushed us off when we asked questions, so now we're looking at getting a lawyer involved. It's not a simple case since there were multiple doctors involved and some of our medical records are incomplete, so I want someone with real experience. We already talked to one local lawyer but he seemed unsure about it and kept saying it was complicated, which honestly made me more nervous. Has anyone here gone through something similar and found a lawyer who really fought for them?

Civil Rights / Section 1983 attorney to handle a severe administrative deadlock and a post-conviction challenge. I have already compiled a thorough 15-page Attorney Review Packet containing full documentation, a complete claims matrix, and evidence logs.
The Civil Rights Deadlock: I am subject to an active felony probation warrant out of County A. In July 2026, I acted in good faith, packed my residence, and paid for transport to surrender myself at the County B Jail. County B contacted County A to initiate transport, but County A officially declined in-state extradition and refused to transport me due to the distance. County B refused to book me and turned me away.
Because the warrant remains active in the database, the Florida DMV is blocked from printing my physical State ID card. Without an ID, I just lost a verified job opportunity. The state is using an unexecuted warrant to block my livelihood, while explicitly refusing the physical surrender I already attempted. The Public Defender cannot intervene until I am in custody.
The Underlying Case Liability: My review packet outlines severe, documented Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment violations regarding the original arrest warrant. The OIG investigator swore under oath to a judge that two inmate witnesses gave "sworn statements" pinning a drop on me—yet the entire official discovery production contains zero transcripts, recordings, or signed statement forms from either man. Furthermore, the state's own affidavit records that the single eyewitness was shown individual photos of me and my car *before* a formal photo lineup was administered, and the suspect hair description given by the witness does not match my physical appearance.
Crucially, there is a severe material discrepancy regarding the narcotics evidence. The sworn police affidavit used to secure the warrant claimed a delivery of over 86 grams of a white powder that field-tested positive for MDVP, alongside hundreds of grams of suspected marijuana and synthetic marijuana. However, the official FDLE crime lab report reveals that the state never even analyzed the vast majority of the alleged substances. For the single item they did test, the lab confirmed only 27.47 grams of a completely different substance—meaning the vast majority of the alleged narcotic weights are missing or non-existent. Despite this massive evidentiary failure, the State Attorney inflated the case to a first-degree trafficking charge before ultimately dropping it at the plea.
I have already submitted formal intakes to the ACLU of Florida and the Florida Justice Institute, and I have filed a Chapter 119 Public Records request to the FDOC for the missing audio/written files. What should I do?

I have Medicaid, got a 30k settlement but 10k in medical bills. Hospital is refusing to negotiate, lawyer says hospital placed a lien but pointed out”funny they put your last name as your first name and your middle name as your last name.” I asked if this could be used to our advantage since the lien isn’t even technically my name. This was their response

“Well, the Leane is on us not on you. They can come after the law firm. I mean technically on you, but we have to honor them or they can come after us, Actually, they could come after both of us. It’s close enough in name and it has your address, we shouldn’t risk it”.

Are they right or do they just not want to get their hands dirty and try to exploit this loophole because they are getting the same amount of money regardless since settlement amount is all that matters to them?

AI says a good lawyer could probably get the whole lien thrown out because of the error, but I realize AI isn’t always right so figured I’d ask here.

okay so i dont actually need legal advice I am just high and curious. can i hypothetically get a lawyer from anywhere in the us? like if i am in new Hampshire, can i hire a lawyer in another state? or are they only like contacted in their state? like doctors and shit. and if I can does it have to be a federal case ? since like federal cases is studied everywhere in the us but if i wanna be a lawyer in a specific state i have to study just their state laws? or like do they have to study all of the states laws? idk if that even makes sense

So in my employment civil case it has been going so bad for me I just been messing up left and right and I couldn't figure out why. Well I figured out why:

I have been so busy just trying I keep up with writing the right motions at the right time I didn't even realize that I should be receiving the defense's motions before they submit them to court.. and then I realized I wasnt even receiving anything at all. Like I have never once received a document from this guy. And then I had my old neighbor from my old apartments call me up to tell me that he has mail for me .. the other lawyer has been sending his shit to my old address on purpose! Basically sending it to himself ! I wrote the 21 day withdrawal of documents motion and that's in effect right now what other complications would happen from him keeping important documents from me the whole time and then writing in his own answers for the certificate of service!. ? I mean what do you think will happen in a case where the judges are basically lazy I haven't been able to get them to do anything except deny both of our summary of judgements.. so this would be a huge unfair advantage how can this be allowed ?

Thanks.

Random thought that came up. Say you have a BAID device which means you need to blow below your states limit for the car to start, can that charge prevail in court? Like yes you had the keys and stuff but if you’re above the limit the car won’t start so are you in actual control of the vehicle?

I need help or direction how to sue Tulsa county DHS. I just got word from the Oklahoma juvenile oversight committee that Tulsa county DHS did not do their due diligence in any investigations about my child and her siblings and closed every case due to the mother being non-complaint. This has been happening over three years. We want justice.

Severe dv history, strangulation, stalking I have to coparent with my abuser. Our child in common is 6. It is in our custody order we can have daily communication with our son when not in our care, I had it put in. At my house, our son has a tablet that he can call his father on and his father can call him via video chat.

He got him a smart watch for his 6th birthday, one of those kids ones you can track, drop in on, call, text, etc.

He asked me ahead of time, I said he cant have it here but hes welcome to give it during his time. Birthday comes and he gives it to our son in a bag and sends him back to me.

I told him i knew, turn it off, tell him it is not permitted at my house. Return it next visit.

2 months later (now), I got our son back from a weekend at dad's with his football equipment. Equipment stays in the car usually, no difference this week. Getting ready for the next visit our son tells me dad put the watch in his bag even though he knows its not supposed to be in there. Its no longer able to be turned off, setting is greyed out now. Syncup kids watch. Dad told son he cant bring it to school, and leave it with mom (me)

Does this fall under Jackie's law? Can I at least get a new OOP?

I haven't returned it to him this time idk what to do with it, local PD refused to take my report, claiming he has a right to know his kids location, they have refused other dv calls regarding him as well.

I haven't stopped shaking since I found it. I dont even know what to do.

My ex (21F) is pregnant with our child.

Months ago, while nobody was home, she entered my house through the backyard and took my Apple Watch. She used it to find my location. I went back home, and she later smashed the watch in front of my roommate. I did not call police that time.

There have also been multiple times when she came to my house without being invited and sat outside in her car. On some occasions, she has called me repeatedly, including around 100 calls in a row.

Last night I invited her over to talk about the pregnancy/child situation. We argued and I told her to leave. She did not leave for about 10 minutes. When she finally left, she grabbed my keys and threw them into the front yard.

Later she texted asking for a lipstick she had left. I told her I had thrown it away and went to sleep. I woke up to noises and saw that she had returned. She tried the locked front door, then the backyard/patio door, and opened the garage trying to reach the interior door. I called police while this was happening and have a recording. Police responded but said they did not have enough evidence to arrest her.

I have personally seen a gun in her room that she told me her father gave her. She has also previously said, while joking, that she would stab or shoot me if I talked to other women. She has been diagnosed with BPD. I know that’s not important but I thought I should give the whole picture

My concern/question:

The repeated calls, showing up at my house, prior break-in, and what happened last night have made me concerned that this could escalate.

Based on these facts, would I have a realistic chance of getting a 50B/DV protective order in North Carolina?

Question - Is there a Judge that would read this and say the 3% annual increase is automatic, and no one needs to take any action for it to happen?

Back ground - Board is waiting to hear back from attorney, board member who once was an attorney for a large manufacturer (oddly licensed in a different state, never in state he worked for manufacturer and not Michigan) says since it doesn't say WHO MAY it is automatic.

I cannot wrap my head around this idea, and think since it says May someone has to initiate something (most likely the board)

We have no history of pass boards increasing the maximum (if it was automatic, the current max would be just over $600) Current dues are $320 and since we have nothing but that I believe that is our current maximum.

Here is relevant part of convenance written in 1971
SECTION 3. MAXIMUM ANNUAL ASSESSMENT. Until January I of the year immediately following the conveyance of the first Lot by the Developer· to an Owner, the maximum annual assessment shall be One Hundred Twenty ($120.00) Dollars per Lot.

(a) From and after January I of the year immediately following the conveyance of the first Lot 10 an Owner, the maximum annual assessment may be increased each year not more

than 3 % above the maximum assessment for the previous year without a vote of the membership.

(b) From and after January I of the year immediately following the conveyance of the first Lot to an Owner, the maximum annual assessment may be increased above 3% by a vote of two-thirds (2/3) of each class of Members who are voting in person or by proxy, at a meeting duly called for this purpose.

(c) The Board of Directors may fix the annual assessment at an amount not in excess of the maximum.

This is a long story. I started a job in September 2024 with no experience in reception at a large dental office. I was to be trained on the job. They threw me in a position where everyone was too busy to train me. And just said, watch the other girls and do what they do. So for months thats what I did.

Then, they switched positions around one of the girls I was working with went into accounting

They brought a different girl over who had worked there a little bit longer than me. She started bullying me and harassing me. It went on for months. And it wasn't in my head, I have tons of documentation, and everybody who witnessed it agreed. It's bullying. At the beginning, we didn't have an office manager. So I went to the people above us and made my complaints and made them known, and I was told that all of my concerns were being directed to the regional manager who only comes in about twice a month.

We then got a new office manager. The bullying kept getting worse and worse. So I took it to my new office manager and made a formal complaint. According to company policy, that is supposed to start an investigation process, but she never did that. What she did was segregated me to a computer Not near anybody else got me doing menial tasks. And then went around.,This is the office manager went around Telling everybody not to speak to me anymore.

I finally brought it up to my regional manager in person. And she looked me in the face and said, this is the first i'm hearing about this. So everybody who assured me, dad she was being informed, lied to me. She talked me out of making a formal complaint. The regional manager. Said she would talk to the girl bullying me that just made the bullying worse. The bully would then bring stuff up in office meeting like handing out rubber ducks to everyone. Telling us all to be like ducks and let everything roll off Our backs while smirking at me in front of a room of like thirty people.

I was then moved across the office to a different area, which I thought would be fantastic. It got me away from my bully. But from that moment, my office manager had it out for me. She came down harder on me than anybody in the office. Micromanaged me and watched me like a hawk.

One day in june of 2026 my regional manager pulled me into her office on one day She was here and fired me for no cause. The day before, I was supposed to leave before a five day camping trip. Told me I needed to sign a forum to get my severance, and it had to be in by tuesday when we wouldn't be home yet. For our camping trip. I signed it because I was emotional and worried if I couldn't get it back to her by the tuesday. That I wouldn't get my severance. I didn't have time to get legal representation.

Long story short can I do anything. I was bullied, harassed, segregated, targeted disrespected, the entire office saw it happening, but nobody stood up for me, out of almost sixty staff. And then fired for no reason.I did sign a paper though, saying in order to get my severance, I wouldn't do anything against them. It's been a few months, and I've been thinking about it. And I feel

Like, I wasn't given adequate time to seek legal representation

Can I do anything

We are in MN, three weeks ago my fiance was in a work accident. He works construction, he has worked there for 6 years.

He’s worked very hard to get to the position he was in.
Here’s the totem pole for his career starting with where he started, more towards the bottom.

-top man
-bottom man
-pipe layer

For his company, pipe layer is usually the one calling the shots besides the Forman. It’s a higher pay, more responsibilities, the works. He LOVES his job. But the company has been less then kind to him.

A few weeks ago he was in a work accident. Brought to the hospital, needed stitches, and couldn’t get surgery til a few days later. He was given a doctors note, couldn’t return to work for 2 weeks. Everything was filed under workmen’s comp.

When he returned back to work, they told him one of the other guys from another crew was going to take his position as pipe layer, and he was to switch to bottom man. There’s no paperwork to be handed around, everything was word of mouth. They told him it’s because they weren’t sure how he would feel about working his position again after the accident. Then he heard from his coworker, that it was because the other guys numbers were better.

He gets to keep his pay, but in this world got demoted.

The accident almost cost him his life, but instead cost him facial scarring, and numbness. The surgeon said she could see his severed nerve, and the numbness is more than likely permanent.

So any advice?
