i just discovered soemthing can you give me more instructions how to discuss this with my attorney. In * I alleged that our , james cronan and karen Merritt formerly married. fiancial advisor enacted a scheme to defraud us with my attorney. Rather than represent us on an alleged embezzlemet case he granted opposing counsel the remedy to break up our case btween MA and RI placing the mortage fraud scheme in mA where my properties are located and the buiness fraud scheme to R.I. Over alot of time james hired a forensic acct in the R.i.
Hey, it sounds like a pretty complicated situation. When you discuss this with your attorney, you might want to focus on the following points:
- Clarify the Allegations: Make sure your attorney understands the full scope of the alleged financial advisor's fraudulent actions.
- Jurisdiction Concerns: Ask why the case was divided between MA and RI and how this impacts your case.
- Forensic Accountant: Get details on what the forensic accountant has discovered.
- Case Strategy: Discuss the overall strategy and how you can effectively proceed with your case.
Would you like any help drafting specific questions for your attorney?
case who reports exxcessive commingling of funds btween his two companies which had bee fruadlently conveyed to the advisor in * under bankrupct case Howver this fact has not been used in the MA case therby opposing counsel has stated statute of limtations as a defense , as thou i am just now allegeding the fraud , rather than the fraud be continuous . recently the third party who is part of the * scheme just sued us to secure a writ of execution which he bought from the bankruptcy court reopening the *-* case to perpuate the scheme. So now we are pro se and removing the case to federal court under RICO claim. I am continually a victim of extortion. how do i communicate this to my attorny?
Hey, it sounds like you have a lot on your plate. When discussing this with your attorney, consider focusing on these key points:
- Continuous Fraud Allegation: Emphasize that the fraud is ongoing and not just a past event.
- Statute of Limitations: Ask how the continuous nature of fraud impacts the statute of limitations defense.
- New Lawsuit: Explain the recent lawsuit and how it ties into the ongoing scheme.
- RICO Claim: Discuss the strategy for removing the case to federal court under RICO.
Would you like help drafting an email to your attorney?
I have already removed and I had updated him about it and he said thats fine. Yes please draft an email.

Case Rating: *
You may file a motion to proceed in forma pauperis, asking the bankruptcy court to waive the costs associated with serving motions by first-class mail. Here’s how you can do it:
- Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis: File this motion along with a detailed affidavit that explains your financial situation.
- Serve All Parties: Ensure to include all interested parties as required by the court.
Would you like a draft of the motion to proceed in forma pauperis?
Im confused because I dont serve all parties my fillout froma pauperis. right?
Case Rating: *
In a bankruptcy case, even if you file a motion to proceed in forma pauperis, you are still generally responsible for serving documents to all interested parties. The court waives filing fees, but not necessarily service costs.
Would you like more detailed guidance on how to proceed with serving the documents?
