*Living Love* asked:

A few years ago my mother passed away of a brain tumor. The doctor she had regularly been seeing for 2 years for her terrible migraines and loss of short term memory (before we found out she had a tumor) had told her that there was nothing wrong with her and that she was probably just “straining her eye’s from looking at a computer screen all day”. She told her to get some glasses, the very next week my mother had a seizure.

My parents filed a lawsuit against her. At the time I was too young to care about the lawsuit. I’m not even sure if my parents ever got anything out of it. My question is, does it sound like they had reason to sue the doctor? Or does it just sound like a family trying to place blame on something?
lol, I’m not trying to take any legal action against anyone. I’m just asking for your random opinions based on the info stated. It’s really not going to help me with anything, I’m just curious.

I just got a 5th notice about a class action lawsuit against a company I was a customer of. No, I am not interested in the whopping $5 I am entitiled to because 7 years ago the company charged a 50 cent fee they failed to disclose.

How about a class action lawsuit against lawyers for harrassing people with their petty class action lawsuits?

On Valentine’s Day an attorney filed a lawsuit in Federal Court in NY seeking to declare the Violence Against Women’s Act as unconstitutional. And that it is discriminatory. Violates the Equal Protection clause of the US Constitution.

Not addressed is IMBRA the rider that criminalizes all US Men who attempt to communicate via the internet with Foreign Women. We have no declared that US Men have no rights to freedom of Association, unless its Government approved.

What are your thoughts on the Law suit and IMBRA?

Federal lawsuit charges parts of the Violence against Women Act are unconstitutional.

Attorney Roy Den Hollander filed on February 14th, a suit in the U.S. Southern District Court of N.Y. attacking sections of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) and other U.S. statutes for violating the Constitutional rights of American men who marry alien females.

The defendants are the United States of America, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and the Executive Office of Immigration Review, No. 08 CV 01521. Roy Den Hollander is the sole plaintiff. Hollander has also sued in a New York State court to have Ladies Nights declared discriminatory in New York City nightclubs and bars.

The VAWA infringes American mens rights to freedom of speech, freedom of choice in marital relationships, right of access to deportation proceedings, procedural due process, and equal protection under the law in violation of the First and Fifth Amendments to the United States Constitution. The unconstitutional statutes, enacted at the behest of the feminist lobby, create a fast track to permanent U.S. residency and citizenship for alien wives or ex-wives of American husbands whenever the alien female alleges abuse. Once she mentions the magic words -battery- or -extreme cruelty-, the Government institutes secret, -Star Chamber- immigration proceedings to determine whether the citizen husband is responsible, and, if yes, grants the alien female permanent U.S. residency. The American husband or ex-husband receives no notice of the proceedings, has no opportunity to defend his name, and the Government’s findings of abuse are based almost exclusively on what the alien female says. The feminist lobby created the statutes in order to deter American men from looking overseas for wives. If a marriage to a foreign wife does not workout, the alien female can falsely and opportunistically accuse her American husband of -battery- or -extreme cruelty- and he will have no opportunity to prove his innocence. The husband is barred from the proceedings that are conducted behind closed doors and any evidence that the Government might receive from him is discarded. So not only is the husband presumed guilty, but he is not even allowed to prove differently.

Hollander says -the feminists did not create these statutes out of bleeding hearts for alien wives but to intimidate American men into shopping at home for wives. He notes that, if an American wife accuses her husband of abuse, he at least gets his day in court and the abuse has to fit specific legal definitions. But under the VAWA, a husband can be found guilty of -battery- and -extreme cruelty- for anything from an -offensive- remark to felony assault.
IMBRA requires US Men who wish to exchange information with and to meet Foreign Women. To submit to a Criminal Background Check, and to provide detailed identity information. Making them more vulnerable to Identity Theft and scams. It presumes that American Men are violent Sexual Criminals and Abusers. Yahoo.com, Match.com and a few others are exempt.

It is a blatant attempt to create a barrier to entry for Foreign Women. A defacto Tarriff to keep them out of the US and American Men with American Women.

OrygunDuk asked:

In a fatal child abuse case, Criminal defense attorney Jeffrey Schwartz characterizes his repugnant defense tactics as “someone has to represent - and try to win acquitals - for those accused of the most heinous crimes.”

By using his argument, millions of Jews deserved to die in Nazi Death Camps because of their behavior. It’s one thing to represent a client making sure one’s legal rights are preserved and a fair trial is afforded the accused. But demonizing a 7-year old’s behavior as just cause for her death goes beyond ethics, and in effect casts a pall over the fair trial for the innocent victim.

The “level playing field” of our Court system has an odor of rot and decay fueled by such antics and soleless tactics to improve their defense record by obtaining an acquital at any cost and any means imagineable. Hopefully the jury will be justly outraged and provide true justice to the victim.

flamboyant asked:

I was involved in a civil lawsuit… There were two defendants that I was suing. The judge dismissed one of the defendants in the middle of the trial (this is a superior court trial). The judge awarded me $350k from the other defendant. However, the defendant that he dismissed was the one with insurance, so basically I get nothing. Can I appeal the desision?
Don’t tell me to ask my lawyer. This happend yesterday and he along with all of us are shell shocked. He will contact me in a couple of days, I want to know now.
The defendant who owes the money has no assets no job no house. I will get no money from him, so that’s out of the question!

Marcus Z asked:

I am wondering what a document that an attorney would prepare would look like. I am doing a project for school where i am trying to prove that someone is innocent and i need to know what the format is like. If anyone knows any websites either than that would be great. I am also wondering if he only has notes and then he just applies them to the case as the trial goes along or is there some sort of formal paper work that goes with it.
