The first thing you need is a lawyer; however, you should probably either pursue the appeal or file a motion for remission of the funds to you. i am not a TN lawyer, so go find one!
Good Luck.

I own a boarding and breeding business so these dogs are a livelihood not merely pets.
This could constitute animal cruelty, it depends on your jurisdiction. Try reporting it to the police and see if they will help.
Yes you should turn yourself in but , before you do, call and find out what your bond is or if you will be released on your own recognizance (ROR). That way you can plan ahead and get in and out relatively quickly. Good Luck!
The time I committed the crime it was a felony. I got 4 years. I violated for my 4th time. All my violations are technical. The last one was for failing a drug screen. I fled to California and admitted myself in rehab. Which I completed the 6 month program. Is it likely that they will extradite me... Read more »
Yes and those probation violations are not technical. At this rate you will wind up serving a fair amount of your sentence. You might be better off hiring a competent attorney and turning yourself in to Court if there is an outstanding probation violation. Bring your rehabilitation letter.
We were laid off and the courts want 16,17,18 tax returns, bank/financial statements none of those years were when the loan took place. Why do they need that? My husband is still unemployed and makes 412 a month I just got a job and wasn't employed up until that point
That type of document production usually occurs in conjunction with post-judgment discovery in order for the judgment creditor to collect from you. You need to check with the Court to see if a Judgment has already went down against you two. Otherwise the creditor must anticipate a problem... Read more »
It's really just a modification I've made to stuffed animals, that started out as a game mechanic. I just really want to make sure that if someone manufactures it that they won't stop me from using the design. Making some money off of it wouldn't hurt either but it is secondary.
You may want to consider protecting your toy with a patent, assuming your modifications to existing toys are novel and non-obvious. You will need a patent attorney to help you assessing the patentability of your toy and preparing and filing the patent application.

Basically, if an employee has discussed with their supervisor that the reason behind being late was due to a psychiatric illness (for example Bipolar Disorder) and the discussion of taking a leave of absence, FMLA, and accommodation took place, but before being able to utilize any of these benefits...

Additoinal information is necessary to determine if your termiantion was unlawful. It sounds like your employer may have violated the Family Medical Leave Act and/or the Americans with Disabilities Act. You should reach out to an employment attorney in your area to discuss your options.
They never wrote me up I never give them reason to write me up, Very hard and good worker team player. It came to a shock to me I haven't seen a paystub in almost a year and 2 days of PTO were stolen from me what should I do
Hi, Tennesee is an "at will" employment state, so they can terminate you for any reason or no reason at all, with a few exceptions. It sounds like they are saying you are not clocking in or out right. Even if its not your fault, they can still terminate you for it due to it being "at... Read more »

Depending on the amount he owes you, consider filing a lawsuit to get a judgment.

Based on what you have described, you may have a valid and enforceable contract. Whether or not it is a good idea for you to file a lawsuit to recover the unpaid amount depends on a number of factors. First, how much does he owe you? If you file a lawsuit in general sessions court you will be taxed... Read more »
I would like to know before I move in.
No. But you could make the request through your realtor.

This is the Tennessee side of Justia. Ask for help from Mississippi attorneys.
Which is Chilhowee park
That qualifies for the felony enhancement, and you only need to be within 1000 feet of the park. Hire a competent attorney immediately. Stop being around anything illegal.
My dad had a stroke 4 years ago and had lived in a nursing home until the the day he died. We recently received an estate recovery letter from Tenncare. Since my mother is the spouse, she can live in the house without fearing collection from Tenncare. However, if she wants to sell the house, will... Read more »
Absolutely.... There is probably a TennCare Lien filed at the Register of Deeds. The State will get paid before anyone else. The Mother may be able to Homestead part of it, but it is doubtful. Before she thinks about selling, hire a competent attorney to conduct a title search, and look at... Read more »
I live in TN. Currently going through a divorce and would like to move to Kansas d/t harassment by my parents. Does my ex have to agree to move if he is keeping our kids, I will provide him child support. Or am I free to move when I would like, without him agreeing?
If there is currently a divorce action pending you should seek permission from the court if you cannot work out an agreed parenting schedule for the children that provides for specifics about when you and your kids spend time together. That said, you can move without an agreement but the court may... Read more »
My ticket has a court date on it do I have to appear to that or can I just pay it and be done with it I'm 17 years old
Apparently that is a NC violation. You will need to contact a NC attorney for advice. A conviction will probably be added to your TN MVR for the last year.
There may be many reasons. I doubt that you know what exactly occurred. Ask again if you know the facts.
We purchased a vehicle from a private party and it needed work so the private party agreed to do the work themselves and have it ready so we began paying on it. After the private party pushed the date of completion by 2 months and we really need a vehicle so we asked for a loaner or for our money... Read more »
That is a potential breach of contract. If no money has been paid, I would forget about it. Otherwise you might sue yourself in General Sessions Court. If you obtain a judgment, hire an attorney to collect.
I was the passenger but it was my car,we both said they we're not ours
Probably both of you. If no one says it is theirs then the cops have no choice but to charge both.
You can file a lawsuit against anyone if you have a legal cause of action. Consult local counsel to assist you.
