      Is this a violation at ALL?

      What is the name of your state? FL Well, Lady, maybe you've got a line on this one, because I can't seem to turn anything up in the literature. Presently, my claim has been zeroed out and I guess that means I'm technically not even a creditor, at the moment. That seems to be the debtor's...

      Lawyer's failings provide grounds in appeal?

      What is the name of your state? FL Is there any circumstance in which an attorney's failings in a civil trial offer any grounds for appeal? Is there any way in which those failings might be at issue in an appeal? On the one hand, it would strike me as a bit unfair to the prevailing party...
