As is so often the case on this forum, you need to go see a family attorney about this. This forum simply does not allow the type of discussion about the issues that only a face to face meeting with an attorney can provide, in a confidential setting.

Andrew M. Rodabaugh's answer
You need to consult a workers\' compensation attorney immediately. There are a number of rights that the insurance company may be violating. As for the value of the case, an attorney will need to send you to a doctor for another ime. THis should not be set up by the insurance company. The ime which is performed will determine the true value of the case. Also your wages, job status, and future treatment will all play a value of the case. It is not a good idea to settle until atleast...

1 Answer | Asked in Immigration Law and Adoption for Maryland on Aug 22, 2015
Answered on Aug 24, 2015
Shan Dimitris Potts' answer
We need to know what kind of visa you are on. EAD just means you have a work permit to work legally in the United States, it does not say anything about the type of visa you have. If you are on legal visa you will be able to bring the child here as a dependant and to guide you properly I need know the type of visa you and your husband are on. All the best and congratulations on the adoption.

1 Answer | Asked in Criminal Law for Maryland on Jun 1, 2015

All I see in what you have written is conclusions, no facts which would cause me to believe that the conclusions are correct. When you believe that a crime has been committed, you should report it.
Q: What if an IME doctor injections me with a need? Does he have the right to?
1 Answer | Asked in Workers' Compensation for Maryland on Aug 20, 2015
Answered on Aug 21, 2015
Andrew M. Rodabaugh's answer
This certainly seems like an odd scenario and I would call your attorney immediately. It is very unusual for an IME doctor to perform any kind of medical treatment. ordinarily the IME report will take about a week or so. Sometimes the release of the IME is delayed, inadvertently or otherwise.
If you have not hired an attorney you should contact someone as soon as possible to discuss your situation and your rights. A workers' comp attorney is not paid unless they recover money for...
Q: Hello, My name is Madison. i was assaulted by someone who works in my workplace, Should I have a lawyer for court?
1 Answer | Asked in Criminal Law and Education Law for Maryland on Aug 21, 2015
Answered on Aug 21, 2015
Robert Jason De Groot's answer
This person committed a crime. When that happens, the state prosecutes for the crime with a state or district attorney, a lawyer. That lawyer represents the citizens of the state. You are a victim of crime. See if there is a victim advocate at the local prosecutor's office.
Q: Should I get a paid attorney or just use a public defender
1 Answer | Asked in Criminal Law for Maryland on Jul 29, 2015
Answered on Aug 20, 2015
Robert Jason De Groot's answer
The choice is yours, but basically in order to get the public defender appointed, you need to be indigent. The fact that you ask indicates to me that you are not indigent. At the very least you should go see a few private attorneys about the case, find out how much it might cost to hire them, and then choose one.

Answered on Aug 20, 2015
Shan Dimitris Potts' answer
If you are over the age of 21 you may be able to help your dad, but he needs to have had a legal entry into the USA. But that may be corrected with a small adjustment and an application. Contact an immigration attorney to help you get started with this process. All the best.
