"I am OK with the retainer and the rates; however, from my understanding, the retainer is nonrefundable. The issue I encountered with previous attorneys was that they agreed to pursue motions to compel discovery, but ultimately did not follow through for, what I assume, was in their best financial interest.   This leaves me concerned about paying a nonrefundable retainer without assurance that those matters would actually be pursued.

With that said, I would be more comfortable including a write in clause in the agreement providing that, if motions to compel discovery are not pursued in court, I reserve the right to terminate representation and receive a refund of any unused portion of the retainer."

She knows the case, and agreed to do compel. Is my request fair and understandable or would you run for the hills? Alternative option is ask for a lower retainer and pay as I go (she knows I have the money) but I think that would leave a far more sour taste.

Package was delivered, apparently to the wrong address.

6 days after delivery, the receiver returned the package to Fedex stating it was delivered to the wrong address.

Apparently the package is damaged and has been at some holding facility for two months, waiting for the sender to verify the Fedex account and instruct Fedex to try re-delivered or return to sender. The sender doesn't respond to me.

I emailed Fedex and got a dumb response "The charges associated with the original shipment remain due and payable within 15 days from the invoice date. If a package is marked “Bill Recipient” and is refused or returned to the sender, the billing is automatically changed to “Bill Sender.”"

Probably not the world's biggest tax. Departure country CZECH REPUBLIC, Destination country USA.

(1) This is a return of an electronic item I sold that the customer said arrived defective. DHL told me to email duty disputes. Do you think DHL is easy to work with or no?

(2) I don't have an DHL account, if I make a new DHL account today, will they remove the $17.50 no account fee?

(3) DHL text message yesterday said I had 48 hours to pay or it'll be sent back. Phone rep said I had 5 business days from the first alert (May 15), which is true?

No legal question - looks like I need a new attorney and this should be easily sorted. But, I don't expect the new attorney to go after the previous one though.

First attorney was great but unfortunately he left a dream job with the government in our capital. Before leaving he told me: (1) Normally we settle, but with the amount of fraud the other party did in this case, you need to go to court. (2) This is a once in a lifetime financial case for most attorneys, don’t let the next attorney drag this out and milk fees.

Second attorney agreed we needed to compel discovery because key evidence was missing. I paid the retainer… then disappeared for a year.

Late February he randomly emails asking if I’m available for a May 4 trial. I remind him we’re missing a dozen critical discovery items and the other side is constantly lying in discovery. His response? “File a police report.” WTF.

April 6 he emails again asking about trial with a 24-hour deadline to respond. We finally talk April 15 phone conference. He brings up some unrelated case from the 1950s to attempt to show me what we are asking in discovery won't affect the outcome of the case, I tell him that case differs so much from mines, we can't apply it. He agrees and admits he “didn’t know much” about my case. I told him we need a compel discovery, he says OK. But I haven't heard from him since!

I've been physically check with the court for months because I suspect foul play. I went yesterday and saw on April 17 both attorneys signed a form requesting a trial setting on June 1 at 8 30 AM and 1/2 day (4 hours??), judge signed to approve it. I reached out to the attorney, he doesn't respond; I reach out to the court who told my attorney to contact me, he never did.

DID HE WITHOUT MY CONSENT AND BEHIND MY BACK TRY TO PUSH THIS TO TRIAL WITH DOZENS OF KEY DISCOVERY MISSING?

At this point I’m assuming both attorneys were going to work in collusion to keep key evidence out before trial that would help me, then throw the judge's paper at me and tell me see “the judge won’t allow a, b, or c at trial”, we can't just use those to end this. This case should have ended in a month tops. Both attorneys knew the other party wasn't going to answer discovery because it'd prove my case. Judge would compel, maybe sanctions afterwards, eventually default judgement.

Going to install a Ring doorbell camera at the front door, but it’ll be pretty useless for recording anything unless someone actually walks up to the door. My living room and garage stick out pretty far and blocks most of the view.

Not looking for a professional setup, just something simple and easy to install that blends in reasonably well as I live at the end of the road, and there’s nothing on the left side of the house.

I’m looking to add another outdoor camera somewhere else on the house. I’d prefer battery or solar powered — definitely not hardwired. I also want it to be as small and discreet as possible since I’ll probably mount it at reachable height. I don't want to mess with ladders these days.

What would you buy? Ring Outdoor Cam Plus? Something else? And where would you mount it?

My internet is 400 speed.

Online speed check last night showed download at 45, today it shows it at 137.

Router is old as hell, but was top of line at one point. Modem is old as hell as well. Both are my own and both work and I never have connection issues.

Neighbor has the 600 package from this internet company and his internet speed last night was 155, when mines was 45. He has a 2 year old modem from the internet company.

Is my modem or router the issue or does everything seem OK?
