Because of you I was able to get custody of my daughter 2012 F 1076!! Thanks

[attorneysteve]

Wow, I had 5, 000 subscribers just three years ago. Thank you all for watching and supporting my channel. It means the world to me. Steve

What happens, if the court is not responding to your paperwork? For example, never received a notice to appear in court. However, I was put in default judgment. I have submitted a motion to vacate judgment and purposed order to dismiss the case with prejudice. Now, I receive monthly invoice.

[stevehenry]

Thank you Steve for the valuable legal information you give on on your channel! I have learned quite a lot from watching your channel. Question for you. Could you explain the sanction on frivolous law suits and frivolous motions or could you do something on your channel on that.
Keep up the Excellent channel Steve!

If the party filing the motion doesn't request a hearing on their motion, then can you request a hearing on their motion?

[johnholden]

Hello sir do you have a video Showing how to put together and whats needed to make up a Motion in Civil Litigation.
Like Explaining Substantive Law, Procedural Law, & Evidentiary Law. And its place in the motion.

My ex wife has messaged me and told me that our 15-year-old son wants to live with me and that she's not fighting it and to draft up paperwork that she can sign. Previously I drafted our divorce case myself as well as our previous custody order. Since this will be an AGREED arrangement, what would I need to do?How I would I word it? Thank you!

[sushicraves]

Steve, Thank you. What bothers me is it takes an officer 20 mins to falsely cite me for an offense. I MUST appear in court or pay the fine of $100. I earn $100 after taxes for a day of work. So if I fight the wrongful citation I have to appear in court. That costs me $100 in wages. I enter my plea of Not Guilty and the court orders bail in the amount of the fine. That costs me another $100. The court sets a hearing date 6 weeks later. I miss another day of work at a loss of another $100. I enter my plea again of not guilty. The court again sets a "Pre-Trial" date 6 weeks later. I return to court for the "Pre-Trial" I lose another $100. I appear in court and the county tells the court something and the court tells me that the matter has been dismissed. When I ask "When was it dismissed ? I am told on the day I entered my first plea of Not Guilty. A $100 ticket cost me $5000. $100 I got back 12 weeks later But when I asked the judge about compensation for missing days of work, my loss He told me Your case was dismissed, would you like to re-open it? That means "Miss more days of work" Lawyers, police, court personnel and judges get paid when I don't. There is an unfairness in many laws

What am I saying. Legislators are all for the "Loser Pays" system to reduce the amount of civil cases. People would be less likely to bring a civil action against someone if they don't have a stronger case than the defendant. Court dockets would open up. So Why not a "loser Pays" system for criminal matters? This would stop false charges and citations being written freeing up court dockets for real criminal offenses. What do you think, your opinion?

[bonniej]

So yeah because I handed it to him and not to share her up but he doesn't have a default and he hasn't showed up to one quart case at all this whole time none of them have

[adesa]

Hey do you have a sample of a Notice of Motion to Cancel/lift Notice of Pendency? Or know where I can find this?

[John-evrm]

I don't know who would want to represent themself for anything other than perhaps an uncontested divorce or a will, both of which are an enormous amount of work for a layperson unfamiliar with document preparation and local court procedures, thus the fool for a client.

[SheikRonMC]

As a Moorish American. I got to say thank you for the understanding.

[attorneysteve]

I LOVE that this video has had such a WARM reception. Thank you all!! I give you my all. Steve

[FredNewsome]

[terry]

Steve, I've tuned into a few of your videos in the past and again now. Thank you for your SHORT, TO THE POINT VIDEOS (unlike 99% of the others out there) with great information.

[ScottyFranchyze]

Thanks Steve. I’m handling a civil unlimited case Pre Se. This helps me tremendously.

[smellygoatacres]

People, stop asking for specifics for your issue. Jeezaloo, this is informational. Use his guidance to apply to your issue.

Steve, your videos are outstanding. Especially those pertaining to HOA's . But, attempting to make a contact with you is impossible... Even attempting to get a HOA Member advocate attorney referral has been impossible... Attorneys prefer to solely represent the Management Companies and Board of Directors. I would bet that you have dozens of attorney contacts that would represent members of an HOA. Please share...
