If someone threatens to file a lawsuit against me, or list me as a defendant in a lawsuit against someone else, for refusing to give false testimony in this person’s favor, is this a crime?

He’s basically saying "give false testimony or I’ll come after you individually" – now obviously he won’t come after me for that. He’ll probably find some bullspit just to waste my time.

A little help here would be great.
:: I can prove the threat. He left it in a voice mail.

I’m trying to do this myself but I can’t seem to find anywhere a form or even a format that shows how I as the defendant should lay out my response. There are only a couple of small things we disagree on so I don’t think this will end up much more complicated than an uncontested divorce.

Any help on the Response to Petition for Divorce. This is in the state of Oklahoma. Thank you!

I was a joint defendant in a discrimation case against myself, three other employess and our employer back in ’05. Another employee was the plaintiff and he ended up dropping the case. How long do I need to keep any of the paperwork from this like notes I took regarding his actions prior to the lawsuit, attorney/client stuff, etc? He is no longer employed with us if that matters.

Thanks

I have a friend who was injured in car accident, involving a drunk driver. The drunk driver is an employee from a big company in which the company was holding an annual party in a famous hotel.
There were a lot alcohol in the celebration. The person who hit my friend in car accident was completely drunk and was very negligence about driving impaired on the roads. I think also that the hotel and the company should be liable, but I don’t know about that. NOW one of my worries would be that if the defendant don’t have any money for the damages then there is nothing that we can do.

What type of lawsuit should be used? What type of remedies should my friend be seeking, and are these remedies appropriate to this type of case? What legal sources will the court consider in deciding if company and hotel (or either of them) are liable for my friends injuries?

I filed a lawsuit against several defendants. One of the defendants filed a motion to dismiss, because they are claiming that they weren’t served properly, if the court dismisses just this defendant can the case still proceed?

How does a civil lawsuit for negligence work if the defendant is broke? How will the plaintiff recieve the money for the damages? How does all of this work?

I thought my lawsuit had been dissmissed because I could not afford filing fee. I recently received notice from court that I have to appear and answer why it was not served on the Defendant and why all the other documents had not been filed. The forms say I need to file a motion to extend time. I have searched the internet to no avail, but have not been able to find an example or a hit lit of what I need to do.

I’m filing a civil lawsuit pro se. The Defendant’s attorney said some allegations based on conclusions were misplead. Can I make conclusions based on the evidence, such as, "Person X provided Plaintiff with a fabricated wheel bearing part that didn’t belong to Plaintiff’s car after it was serviced for repairs. Therefore, person X fraudulently concealed facts about Plaintiff’s car"? Please respond.

We have been dealing with a personal injury lawsuit for about two years. The accident occurred in CA and we reside in another state, so we are dealing with our attorney all long distance. The case has been complicated, mainly due to an inattentive attorney from the start, whom we fired. We retained our current attorney not too long ago and the case against the defendants insurance company has been resolved and funds have been sent to our attorney. Here is where it becomes tricky. The funds for my settlement have been sent to us, the attorney is holding the funds from my husband’s portion of the settlement until a settlement is reached with our insurance company (the defendant was an underinsured driver, we had underisured driver coverage). Our attorney claims he cannot release these funds because he will more than likely need to spend the money on litigating the case against our insurance company..and it just does not make sense to me. In our eyes, the case against the defendant is closed (and in the courts eyes) I don’t see why the funds cannot be released, but my attorney alleges this is normal practice in personal injury law. Anyone have any experience with a situation similar to this? Thanks.
@leo, I don’t think you understand the nature of the question.
