Hi,

In order to determine whether it is appropriate to handle the matter here on JA and whether it is cost effective could you summarize the points in the motion to dismiss you need help with/type them here? Or at least....how many do you need assitance with? I'd like to be of help.

There should be a "return date" on the motion...the date the motion is set to be heard or at least on the calendar. You also by court rules would have a certain amount of time to respond. The purpose of mediation is to have the parties try to work things out before motions, trials or other formal legal proceedings take place....do you have a date for the mediation yet? I can help with the cases and statutes.

The case was ordered to Mediation 9 July with No Discovery as of that date-there is no discovery in Small Claims Court-He didnt show for the Status Call
The window for Mediation Scheduling is about 6-9 weeks out
The Motion to Dismiss is set on the Court Calender for 17 July 2007
This attorney is just trying to wear me down because its ProSe and he's tryin to slick me
His comment to me ov er the phone was 'he wished I had a lawyer so we could talk about this..."
What, I chopped liver
Along with the Motion were answers to my complaint
The first being that BA didnt have sufficient info to respond and they then denied the others along with the there affirmative defenses that I listed
I'm not afraid to plead my case and I think I have a pretty good issue beside my actual monie losses
Ive spent almost 40 years in a court room as I am a Retired Sgt Of Police from Chicago
I just need some help in answering some of these issue and a little procedural help
ProSe Representation does get alittle extra consideration in Cook County, Illinois
