I am a foster parent and have been for 4 years. In that time most of the children placed in my home have been managable.
For one year I have had a sibling group in my home that consist of 4 boys (2 have had to be moved out)
The problem is I have a small farm and alot of animals. The private agency failed to provide full disclosure about this sibling groups as required by law. The agency minimized and ommitted and outright lied about the history of Animal cruelty (mutilation and killing of many animals before being placed with us) Sneaking out at night through windows, Urinating on everything furniture car seats etc. Fire starting, and extreme violence. Over $60,000 damage has been caused to my house, barns, live stock, equipment and vehicles by these children .

Friday, February 5th, 2010

In our county the judge is the uncle of the states attorney. It seems to me thatthis would weigh in favor of the states attorney. Are tere any specific guidelines for this. I requested that the judge be changed, in my case, which was granted. It did cause me some problems, though, because other defendents got wind of what I did and followed suit, also requesting a change in the judge. This teed off the states attorney which, along with the local law enforcement, have harassed me for the last 10 years.

When Subpoena Can I Ask The Attorney Who Subpoened Me To Pay For My Time?

Friday, February 5th, 2010

I have recently received a subpoena from an attorney in a court case. The case involves two neighbors that are disputing a property line. They are calling me out because I inspected a leaky water heater for the one client 2 years ago. That’s all I did no work or anything, I simply told the client they have a leaky water heater and they need to replace it.
I’ve asked the attorney’s assistant why they need me for the case and all she’ll say is that she’s not sure what angle the attorney is going to use, but that my apperance is necessary.
My question is, how is it okay for an attorney to pull me away from my work for a day when there seems to be no relevant reason for my appearance. I’m the owner of the company and want to know can I bill the attorney for the time I lose while at this court case?
