Eidolon P asked: I’m trying to work out a settlement with the auto-insurance company over an injury that happened last December. They’re offering $3,500, but we want $5,000. I was wondering how much it would cost them in legal fees, and lawyer costs if we were to bring this to court. It could help in our bartering if we know they’ll be saving money just settling. Thanks.

J.B asked: Someone told me that if you are already lawyer in Pennsylvania, all you have to do to get a real estate license is sign a paper stating that you understand the real estate practices in the state. Is this true? If so, is there a web site that explains it further? Thanks!

Breanne N asked: I have had the same lawyer for an accident case that was the other persons fault now for 4 years! I have went to a deposition and done everything with the same lawyer up until today! I just received a letter in the mail stating that another lawyer from a whole different firm has my case now! I have never heard of this lawyer and I’m just confused? Is this legal?! What is going on?
