Who is the best divorce attorney in Pierce County, WA?

I’m looking for the absolute toughest family law attorney. And, does anyone know if they have board certified attorneys in the state of Washington?

Bankruptcy??????? Attorney fees?

Do you have to go with the attorney that gives you a consultation on Bankruptcy? Weather it be that his fees are to high or after hearing what he has to say or taking the means test you don’t agree with what they say.. Do you still have to go through with it? What’s a nice way to say thanks but no thanks?

{{MJ Fans}} Would you believe this is happening AGAIN to Michael?

A Torrance law firm has once again emerged the victor in a protracted court battle with pop star Michael Jackson over unpaid legal fees.

The 2 nd District Court of Appeal issued an opinion Monday favoring Ayscough & Marar, which represented Jackson on various civil matters around the time he was on trial for child molestation in 2005.

However, Jackson beat it before paying the $217,000 bill.

Ayscough & Marar sued Jackson and two of his companies in Torrance Superior Court. Just as the case was to go to trial before a downtown Los Angeles judge in June 2007, Jackson agreed to pay what he owed, plus interest.

Then, Jackson appealed, claiming Judge James Chalfant wrongly denied his quest to postpone the trial.

“It made no sense,” Brent Ayscough said in a telephone interview Tuesday. “How do you appeal something you agreed to pay?”

A message left for Jackson’s attorney, Thomas Mundell, was not immediately returned.

In addition to the legal fees, Jackson also agreed to pay $175,000 to cover Ayscough & Marar’s expenses for suing Jackson, Ayscough said.

At the time of Jackson’s appeal, he had paid the firm approximately $440,000. Ayscough said they will likely file a motion to recoup the costs of fighting the appeal, too.

Ayscough said that his firm was hired through Jackson’s brother and then business manager, Randy Jackson – who remains a longtime client of the firm.

“We were turned over his civil cases,” Ayscough said.

“There were quite a few.”

At the time, Jackson was defending himself against accusations that he sexually molested a young boy at his Neverland Ranch in Santa Maria. Jackson was acquitted of the charges.

The judge in Santa Maria had issued a gag order in that case, and various news organizations were fighting it.

Ayscough & Marar fought mostly successfully to keep the information related to the criminal case out of the media, and also dealt with other civil cases.

Once case was brought by Jackson’s former business associate, porn producer F. Marc Schaffel, over more than $1.4 million in unpaid royalties and loans from various collaborations.

At first, the legally embattled King of Pop paid his bills. Then, he stopped.

“I said, ‘If you don’t pay us, we’re gonna quit,’” Ayscough said.

The firm sued in February 2006 and Jackson countersued, claiming his former lawyers wrongly threatened to reveal information related to the criminal trial if he didn’t pay. Chalfant dismissed the cross complaint.

Ayscough & Marar won a court ruling that ordered Jackson to participate in a deposition. He went, but then, inexplicably, left before it was over.

Chalfant had found that Jackson failed to submit other information in the case and refused to delay the trial so Jackson’s attorney could remedy the situation or continue negotiating a settlement.

Ayscough & Marar isn’t the only law firm who has chased after Jackson for unpaid bills.

According to E! Online, the firm Wachtel & Massey quit a New York breach of contract case when Jackson stopped paying the bills, although Jackson claims he fired them.

In addition, Los Angeles entertainment firm Lavely & Singer sued Jackson in 2006 for more than $113,000 in unpaid legal fees, E! Online reported.

Michael should send somebody to find that DA who prosecuted him on those bogus charges and rob his house or office to pay for the bills. That DA (like pretty much all DA’s ) do not care if charges are so ludicrous, they still prosecute and have no problem looking in the mirror. If they accused a blind and deaf 100 year old elderly woman of being a armed robber holding up 7 Eleven’s, they would still prosecute that. F*** the government and F*** everyone who tried to destroy this good person for trying to be a friend to children. If he really was a molester, do you think Macaulay Culkin would still talk to him, after all, he disowned his father for the bully he was, but Michael was always there for him as a friend. No wonder Michael left this sick country after what the government tried to do to him. Someone maybe should trash the Da’s office to pieces, or commit ID theft against all DA’s to pay for the bills Michael now has to endure.

Texas payday loan didnt get paid, now getting calls from Federal Attorneys office in California. so they say?

So I took out a $950 payday loan and made 2 or 3 payments on it and get it down to like $700. They made me write a post dated check, which I ended up having to close the account because there was fraud on the account. I was out of town, and completly forgot to let the loan store know. IM back in town and getting calls from an indian guy that tells me that he is with the Federal Regulators attorneys office in California and that 3 criminal charges are being filed on me for stealing and 2 others that i cant remember because i was unable to udnerstand the guy. I ask for an address that Im unable to find on google maps or any federal site. I call back to verify the charges and they then tell me they are a different company name with a different address that i am still unable to find. Now my question is, can any of this really happen? I know I can be sued in civil court, fine, but any criminal charges? I know bad check writing is illegal, but i cant predict fraud and the bank making me close my account. any help will be appreciated. my attorney’s office isnt open on the weekend, otherwise i would ask him.
