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. If I were you, I'd first contact class action counsel to discuss the issue and to request whatever statutes and/or case law supports the position conveyed to you. If that doesn't clear it up for you, best to schedule a legal consultation. ... Read More
Q. Can forgery lead to case dismissal or affect a retrial in Florida?
A: Your inquiry is a bit vague because you say that DESPITE the forgery, the court decision was against you, then say you have new evidence, not indicating whether that evidence is connected to proving the forgery, beyond the proof of the forgery you already presented. In any event, your first issue is whether you need to meet a 15-day deadline to move for rehearing or retrial under Rule 1.530, and the second issue is whether, if you missed that deadline OR the Court denies that motion, you should file notice of appeal, which is generally a deadline of 30 days from entry of judgment or from denial of a 1.530 motion. The third issue is whether you should move to vacate the adverse judgment under Rule 1.540(b), which is the rule applicable to newly discovered evidence - and for which the deadline is one year from entry of judgment. So the latter rule, if applicable to your situation and if you have enough to support a motion, can potentially be utilized even if you do not file a Rule 1.530 motion and even if you do not appeal - but you'd have to have a lawyer carefully analyze the case record to determine which, if any, of the above options would be viable and worthwhile to pursue. ...

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.
