Depending on the circumstances, you might be able to reinstate the action. You should speak with an attorney to help you determine why the case was dismissed and what your next steps should be.
I would need to know more.
I realize this response is very delayed. I had been out of the LAWGURU response mode for awhile.
However, if you still desire such, we can certainly help you consider and then pursue your options. This is obviously a very important matter, and you should not go in alone.
One of our attorneys can explain the issues and procedures better in person. As you can imagine, there is too much to cover via email. We offer free 1/2 hour consultations, in which we can discuss your matter in detail.
Please call us directly to discuss the specifics of your matter, or contact my assistant Alicia or my paralegal Jennifer to schedule your free 1/2 hour consultation.
