I watched this video this morning and, I kid you not, I received an email from the employer’s attorney this afternoon responding to our offer to compromise and asking me to upload all of our files and audio for them to “consider our request”because the state agency “hadn’t provided them with the documents”. Yeah, no….
@@advocatelucinda It gets better! When I politely reminded him that I stated in my letter that we would not be turning over evidence until the appropriate time, he threw a hissy fit and said that her former employer would not engage with us unless we sent them everything so they could “evaluate it” and determine if the allegations were even true. Apparently, he’s known for bullying pro se plaintiffs like this. We were lucky enough to find an attorney that will take our case on contingency but it makes me so sad and angry that there are so many people who get subjected to this and cave because they don’t know their rights. You are doing such a service with this channel.
I definitely made a mistake and put something in my complaint (attached with evidence) minor because I was under the impression I bear the proof. Yeah 🤦♀️ one of those smh moments
@@advocatelucinda Yes, I agree just sometimes we wish we knew how.. of coarse we never want anything easy but its a lot to do your own case.. and try to research.. try to know the definitions.. and so much more in a short period of time.. especially reading all the F.R.C.P plus.. some more stuff and writing your own law paperwork.. but i know you lol.. You will say it can be done and it is necessary lol.. so thats is what we try to do..
Is it okay to give all the documents to your own attorney after a deposition? or will my attorney give all my documents to the defendent once I give to my own attorney afterwards?
Hi. That would be between you and your attorney. Speak with your attorney and get an idea on how the process works. Just ask him or her to explain it to you. Best.

You have provided such valuable info. Thank you. I have a question/concern. I filed my complaint 42 USC 1983 pro se. I was granted a motion to precede in forma Pauperous and the .magistrate judge included a letter stating.." the process of service of summons is on hold pending an Omnibus hearing. Is this the discovery conference? Also since the defendant has not filed an answer to my complaint, can i amend my complaint without givng notice to judge or defendant?
Generally, an omnibus hearing is associated with a criminal case. Personally, I have never seen the term associated with civil litigation. It may be in the jurisdiction your lawsuit is filed. Read your jurisdictional rules. Regarding the discovery conference, read F.R.C.P. 16 and 26 (Conference and Scheduling Order). Regarding amending complaint, read F.R.C.P. 15. Best.
Have you ever had the opposing party just ignore you and Court's Order....i.e. Fed case and Magistrate ordered case to Mediation/Settlement conference but Defendants ignore emails to pick 3 dates to submit to Court, according to Court's Order.
I filed a Pro se lawsuit vs Google, RUclips and Alphabet Incorporated and every document I filed in response and in request of or requested from me, I filed with the United States District Court first. Not a single document was sent to the defendants without being filed with the Clerk or Court first. I did this not based on prior knowledge but based solely on instinct and mistrust. 😉😄
@@advocatelucinda Thank you. I also had foresight that no matter how well I argued my case and presented my evidence, the judge was going to side with the billionaire defendants no matter what. Throughout the entire legal matter, my documents were being tampered with, from being ruined in appearance to pages being removed after filing with the clerk's office. I posted several evidence videos to my RUclips channel exposing all that was done and all involved. And get this, every request filed by the defendants attorney for documents and evidence were fulfilled BUT when I filed a request with the clerk's office and to the defendants that the defendants provide evidence to prove their alleged claim that I stole other RUclips videos from other RUclips channels and uploaded alleged videos to my channel as the sole reason to demonetize my channel, my request was ignored. THE DEFENDANTS AND THEIR ATTORNEY PURPOSELY IGNORED MY REQUEST PRIOR TO MY SUIT BEING DISMISSED FOR LACK OF SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION, despite what 28 USC 1332 states. Had I purposely ignored any of their requests or couldn't provide the items requested the judge would of dismissed my suit for being uncooperative. The judge was white and I am a Black Man and I'm sure the judge found that out eventually. Not saying the decision to dismiss was based on racism but this is America after all.
@@advocatelucinda Yes ma'am, I'm familiar with appeals. I field an immediate appeal to the US Court of Appeals 7th Circuit and the decision backed the judge's claim despite the Court of Appeals acknowledging mistakes made by the judge and the defendant's attorney. Going to file in state court soon and then again in federal court because I believe the state court will dismiss on the same grounds. I have a download link to all of my filed documents to the district court and court of appeals. I can post it if you'd like. This is not me seeking an attorney whatsoever but I'd think you'd be impressed with the professionalism and stern arguments and rebuttals toward the defendant's and judge in the case.
Oh, I am impressed! Don't download your legal filings on this channel. I want to steer away from being accused of helping non-attorneys practice law or UPL (Unauthorized Practice of Law). Best.
I’ve sent the witness statement & evidence to the defendant via email and post record delivery but their solicitor is asking me to send them again because they are saying the documents are missing. Do I have to send them again as I’ve sent them once and I’ve got proof that those documents have been received by the defendant? Appreciate you help.
If plaintiff is going to give the opposing side their evidence, it's best to give it during mandatory disclosures and discovery, and any other time the court might order. That way, it's on the record and it would be difficult for the opposing side to say they didn't get the material. I don't know your case and the circumstances. The decision is yours to make. Best.
You certainly want to state the facts pursuant to F.R.C.P. 8. Ask yourself is it necessary to attach exhibits? Another question is, do federal and/or local rules require that certain exhibits be attached. For example, generally, when filing a Title VII employment discrimination lawsuit from a Right to Sue letter, Plaintiff is required to attach the Letter to their complaint. This demonstrates Plaintiff followed the process to exhaust the administrative remedies. Having said that, the decision to attach exhibits is yours. Read federal and local rules, and any other jurisdictional rule that may be applicable, i.e., state law.
@@advocatelucinda I will look at rules thank you. Last time I sued the defense never entered any exhibits but used mine against me in UC hearing and EEOC process so Im a bit apprehensive to offer more that I hadn’t presented before. When they used them against me it was just stuff. Agencies didn’t read I’m sure they knew that would be the case.

Mistakes happen in litigation. If the mistake is material and can be fixed, fix it, and move on.

Texas Rules and procedures state NOT to file with court. So if it states NOT to file with court submitting on the record wont be a negative?
