Thank you. Well the hearing for Monday got once again canceled due to a court emergency....so no hearing for now; lets see if I can get to read the transcript with more time.

Thank you. There could be potential errors in names and perhaps errors in my answers given; like you mentioned transcription errors. Also, during the deposition, the deposing attorney got aggravated towards me, raised her voice and her and her client (who was present at the deposition and is...

Thank you. After reading the transcripts, can I make changes in form or substance?, what does exactly mean changes in form or substance?, can I change my answers to the questions at deposition?, Am I interpreting the statute correctly?.

All, just an update:...Hearing was postponed to October 28th because the Judge is "out" this week. Ugh!, my luck. I wish I knew legal movements to make them scared and use this time in my advantage.....any advice?

Quite possibly, however the arbitrator ( a she) is a Florida certified mediator, admitted to the bar in year 1980 and clear disciplinary history. As a Florida Bar elected Arbitrator, I believe she has experience and handles herself in a professional matter. How could the other party argue that?.

The retainer was for $7,500. Evidence and testimony were provided from both parties for the arbitration purposes. After the arbitrtor considered all the records, I was awarded $6,000 out of the 7.5K. The arbitrator did indeed considered the attorneys time, skills and availability.

Your bet is assertive. He did not issue any bill, not even a draft of billing statement was sent to me for my review. He failed to show me how the money in retainer was alocated

At one point, few years back, I was represented briefly by this lawyer. Life happened - threw me a curve ball and no longer needed his representation. This lawyer did not open a case in court, did not file any documents with court, did not draft any documents whatsoever; in other words the...

Yes, I informed them. He has the right to appeal the arbitration’s decision, however he dis not open an appeal case in the court of appeals. Instead, he filed a lawsuit and paid the amount to the court registry.
