Legal Question in Construction Law in Georgia

Re: Post Lawsuit...WHAT NOW??

That is a complicated question to answer and, as Mr. Riddle stated, you probably got a more comprehensive answer from a discussion with one or more of the attorneys. Is the judgment against you or a company? If a company, is properly set up and maintained? What kind of assets do you have?

Plaintiffs are generally receptive to accepting a smaller amount in exchange for a guaranteed timely payment. Also, don�t accuse your attorney of malpractice unless you have good cause.

With regard to your personal liability, it is possible. You should have a good services contract that addresses this issue as well as others.

If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. My contact information is below. Thank you.

Re: Post Lawsuit...WHAT NOW??

If you have spoken with lawyers, you have probably obtained better advice than you can get here. We know nothing about your situation, other than you owe money you do not have. Several other factors go into a bankruptcy analysis. Yes, you can generally offer a smaller amount. You may also get further with potential lawyers if you leave out the accusations of malpractice against previous lawyers.
