Hi Angelia! How can I assist you with your legal issue today?
Yes i need to know how to and if it would be worth the time to file a small claims case against my previous landlord (my ex mother in law) who illegally evicted me after i had her son (my ex husband) arrested for domestic violence last year. She claimed to have been evicting the both of us. But then later allowed him to move back to our former home on her property. To which he then just a few months later burned down in a reckless burning case.
