Legal Answers
- Q. Is Florida statute of limitations affecting my class action payment correct?
- A: Sorry to hear about your ordeal. Unfortunately, you will likely not be able to obtain legal advice on the statute of limitations applicable to your particular situation by making online inquiries. Rather, you must have direct communication with a lawyer, who would have to discuss and review your situation and may also have to conduct legal research. The reason is that, if a lawyer happens to be mistaken in such statute of limitations advice, he/she is potentially opening him/herself up to a malpractice claim.

The third issue is whether you should move to vacate the adverse judgment under ... Read More
- Q. Legal recourse after $16,000 stolen from 401(k) due to identity theft and incorrect 1099-R issued by Fidelity.
- A: If your money is not refunded, you might have a potential negligence claim against Fidelity, which is likely insured for that. Schedule an appointment with a lawyer in your area who handles civil litigation including negligence claims against financial institutions. The lawyer should promptly send a demand letter, if warranted.
