Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Ohio

Gift of Vehicle

My ex-fiance gave me a vehicle when we broke up. Now his Mother wants me to pay for the veicle. The title is in my name and was free of all liens when i received it. She is wanting me to pay back his loan that he recived from her. She is saying that I agreed to pay for this loan. I have never discused this loan with her or the van with her. She has filed suit against me for money now not the van. The van has a small lien on it now where I have borrowed money. She is wanting a trial by jury and I can not afford a attorney at this time. I do not know what to do now. Can you suggest what I need to do now?

Re: Gift of Vehicle

If she wants a trial by jury that means she will have to pay a lawyer for that as well. This means that this trial by jury may be bluff. What kind of money are we talking about anyway? Will she really spend thousands on a lawyer for herself?

Doubtful.

This will be a case of credibility. If you believe that your story will be believed, don't worry and defend yourself.

If this case is near Cleveland, my representing you would not be prohibitive.

Give me a call directly if you wish.
