Re: Judgment: Straightening Out The Defendant's Names/Akas (

Dear Joe,

This is a board for real law students writing about real law
student problems. You start out by stating my "former
attorney screwed up". Then you start rambling about code
references from who knows what state codes, and throwing
around legal terms like ex Parte, motion, but you never say
what the current status is.

But it really doesn't matter.

Any law student who tries to answer this beyond sending you
on your way is a fool. And since you say you are not a law
student, you wouldn't know that the law varies by
jurisdiction, by whether or not this suit was being done in
federal or state court, etc. You haven't said what the
jurisdiction was, whether this was in state or federal
court, etc. Most law students learn little more than the
federal rules of Civil Procedure, which are loosely adopted
in many but not all jurisdictions.

If you go back and look at your own posting, you'd realize
that even your long post is lacks anything bordering on
being coherent. Hence the "huh?".

Since "you don't know what to write", I would strongly
recommend you find another attorney in the proper
jurisdiction and go from here. You may be able to revive
your case and/or bring some action against the attorney for
malpractice. A clerk can give you the proper papers, but
they themselves are not there to help pro se (the proper
term) plaintiffs set up complaints.

Good luck.
