Unfortunately when you have lost on the District court of appeals level there is very little you can do. You can attempt to file with the Ohio Supreme Court of Appeals but that will require an attorney to prepare the briefs. The Supreme Court has very strict guidelines to follow and if not properly done will result in a dismissal of your petition. You can read more about how to do this here.

If you lose at the supreme court level, then you are without recourse. Sorry that the news cannot be more positive.

Hello pipisg:

According to the rules of the supreme court you would have 45 days from the date the judgment was entered into by the court of appeals to file for an appeal with the supreme court. So the judgment received by the appeals court should state the date the judgment was entered into. If this has been over one year, the period of time to file has now expired. Unfortunately there is no time to file due to totally disability.

Below is the code section.

Section 2. Institution of Appeal from Court of Appeals.

(A) Perfection of Appeal.

(1) (a) To perfect an appeal from a court of appeals to the Supreme Court, other than in a certified conflict case (which is addressed in S. Ct. Prac. R. IV), the appellant shall file a notice of appeal in the Supreme Court within 45 days from the entry of the judgment being appealed. The date the court of appeals filed its judgment entry for journalization with its clerk, in accordance with App. R. 22(E), shall be considered the date of entry of the judgment being appealed. If the appeal is a claimed appeal of right or a discretionary appeal, the appellant shall also file a memorandum in support of jurisdiction, in accordance with S. Ct. Prac. R. III, at the time the notice of appeal is filed.

Is it possible that my attorney was unaware of these document before he filed an appeal?   He never mentioned them to me ever.

I fired him over a fee he charged and would not explain what the fee was for. Is there any way for me to get copies of his appeal, or know if he had knowledge of these documents?

My parents were married in 1940. My mother did not use her legal name when applying for their licence. Does this have any impact on my father's will?

Hi Customer (name blocked for privacy):

Thank you for your reply. I am not understanding your last reply to me. You asked whether your mother's name affected his will and now you are mentioning something about "change it and exclude me", that part of your question is not clear.

What are you referring to as "it"?

Maybe if you can provide further facts, I can be able to assist you better. Thanks.

His will was very simple. If he died first he left everything to her. then it was to be divided between me and my brother. My brother died and now she leaves his money to my brothers widow.
I get nothing
