Question

Someone I know received a used cellphone in exchange for cash. The receiver of the phone later found out that the phone was stolen. The receiver of the stolen phone told the giver that if the receiver's money was not returned, then the receiver would report the stolen phone to the police. It should be noted that it is unknown whether the giver stole the phone or even knew it was stolen. Could this potentially be blackmail/extortion, or is this simply an example of telling the potential thief of his/her options?

Answer

Of course it's blackmail/extortion. You are basically attempting to limit the options to the one you want by threat of being a dirty snitch. The fact that you are possibly justified doesn't change things. I should also point out that your plan could backfire because if you go to report this to the police, if you are not careful in your story you could be charged with possession of stolen goods.

Question

Hello, we purchased a used 2010 Cadillac Escalade with 33,000 miles on it. We originaly found the truck on the dealers web site out of state. The add listed it as a pre-owned certified Cadillac. Now 10 months, 14,000 miles later we brought the truck into my local Cadillac dealer to have some warranty work done. They say the factory warranty has expired but i told them that the truck was certified and i had 23,000 or 2 years to go. They said it have not been entered from the dealer i bought it from. So i called the original dealer and asked them to check it out. They called me back an hour later to tell me that they never certified it and forgot to take out the certification card which is signed by the dealer. Also the 172 point check was never done. No suprise that they offered my $1200 to make up for their mistake. I told them that the problem i am having the truck will cost me $1200 plus to fix, the i have to hope nothing goes wrong in the next 2 years or 23,000 miles. The insisted on talking to my son so they could perswade him into the cash and let them off the hook, i told them they have to deal with me instead. The Escalade new window sticker was over $87,000 and we paid $50,000. The labor and parts cost are very expensive that why we bought it with that longer warranty. By the way we drove 8hrs one way to get it. Can i some how make them buy it back. I dont trust them anymore. I hav'nt heard from them for 3 days. Please advise. Thank you, Tim

Question

We built a house 6 years ago and now the floor is rotting away due to poor craftsmanship of builder. Due they assume a responsibility for this legally or are we on our own?

Answer

Dear Homeowner: While I am not admitted as an Attorney in PA, I am also a Registered Architect, registered with the NCARB (National Council of Architectural Registratiobn Boards) nationally. I can offer the following advice, based upon my knowledge and experience as an Architect.

Under your contract, as in most juriisdictions, you have rights under the contract terms for 15 years. Accordingly, you may have an action against your contractor for breach of contract. You may also have an action against the contractor for negligence which, in many states, is barred by rthe Statute of Luimitations, after 6 years!

Importantly, consider also whether this contractor is collectable. Further consider a claim with your insurer for moisture, leaks, etc.

Contact an experienced Attornwey ASAP, to determine and protect your rights and best interests.

Good luck.

Sincerely,

J. Norman Stark

Question

I live in Texas and the father of my 2 children is currently not paying child support, but working. He has a total over 11 grand in back support. My question is, can he relinquish his rights to our children, so that he doesn't have to pay child support or the back payments?

Answer

Your ex and you can negotiate that he will relinquish his parental rights in exchange for your agreement to wipe out the arrearage. Once the rights are terminated, there will be no obligation to pay future child support. However, most Courts will not approve and sign off on such a termination unless the termination is combined with another action for a step parent adoption. I am a board certified specialist in the field of family law, practicing in the general Houston area. I would be glad to visit with you about your options if you would contact me directly at 713-600-5500.

How fast does the car that holds the world land speed record go?
There is, as yet, no official definitions and criteria by which car land speed records are judged. However, the fastest speed achieved by
a 4 wheeled car driven by an internal combustion engine, was 394.14 miles (634.39 kms) per hour, by John Cobb in the Railton Mobil Special on September 16, 194. a jet propelled car, is 763.035 miles (1,227.986 kms) per hour, by Andy Green in the ThrustSSC on October 15, 1997. ThrustSSC weight: 10.5 tons
fuel capacity: 1125 litres
length: 16.5 m (54 ft) width: 3.7 m (12 ft)
'engines': two afterburning turbofan jet engines, the same as those used in the F-4 Phantom II jet fighter planes.
So, taking all these facts into account, is ThrustSSC really a car!

Question

My employer forced me to enter into a binding work contract / non compete agreement mid-stream of my employment or else I would be terminated immediately. The contract was three sentences long, not dated, grammatically incorrect, did not offer anything more than my current wages, and did not outline any terms of termination or breaching of the contract. It did state I would work for the company for a reasonable amount of time. I found a much better job (betters wages, health benefits, vacation time) and gave my boss much appreciation for everything he did for me and offered more then two weeks notice. He refused my two weeks and when I returned for my final paycheck he is refusing to release it to me. I work in the state of Pennsylvania and the company was very small and did not even offer health benefits. Is there anything I can do to recovery my final paycheck?

Answer

Generally, non-compete provisions that are presented and executed in such a manner (after the date of hire in order to continue employment) are not considered enforceable. A non-compete is a specific type of restrictive covenant. Other kinds of restrictive covenant (proprietary information, e.g.) can be enforced when presented after hire. If an issue arises with regard to the "contract," I highly recommend you consult a lawyer.

With regard to your paycheck, contact the Wage and Hour Division of the Pennsylvania Departemnt of Labor and Industry. You can find the contact information as well as more information on the DLI's webbsite.If you do not get relief through them, research the Pa Wage Payment and Collection Law and sue your employer before a District Justice/Magistrate. Reference the law for additional monetary penalites that an employer can be made to pay when the violation of the law is wilfull.

This answer to your legal inquiry is based upon the limited facts stated in your question. Accurate legal advice is based upon an exchange between a lawyer and a client. The lawyer can then ask about other facts that may change or confirm the answer. Without that exchange, this reply should be considered limited in value. You should rely on this answer only at your own risk. Direct consultation with a lawyer is always recommended. Answering your question does not create an attorney-client relationship.

Can a person claim bankruptcy if they have federal and private student loans?

Question

Can a person claim bankruptcy if they have federal and private student loans?

Answer

A person can always claim bankruptcy. However, I think your question is whether bankruptcy will discharge your federal and private student loans. The answer depends. Under the revised 2005 bankruptcy laws, student loans (private or government backed) are generally not dischargeable. There are exceptions to the general rule and you should consult with an attorney as to those exceptions and whether they apply to you.

If you are behind on your payments, bankruptcy may be useful to get your payments caught up. Again, you should consult with a bankruptcy attorney.

Answer

Can a person claim bankruptcy You can file bankruptcy owing student loans.

I have joint custody of my daughter. Does my ex need my permission to take our daughter out of the state?

Question

I have joint custody of my daughter. Does my ex need my permission to take our daughter out of the state?

Answer

This has less to do with your "custody" arrangements and more to do with the terms of your current order or parenting plan. Normally, the order or parenting plan will include provisions regarding travel, including whether the parents are required to obtain written consent in advance or whether it is sufficient to exchange advance notice of the travel along with the itinerary and contact information. If your paperwork is silent on this provision, I recommend you consult with an attorney in your area to discuss your options.

Answer

I agree completely with the above answer from Monica. If there is no provision you may need to attend mediation on the issue, and then file a petition to modify.

Best of luck!

Question

Had car accident. The other party's insurance has admit at fault. However they are not willing to pay anything after the estimation. The said the prior damage on my rear bumper warrant the bumper to be replaced prior to the accident. I am only asking for the re-finishing of the bumper, not replacing it. They say they cant re-finishing it without replacing it. Thus, no reimbursement at all. Is this reasonable? Do I have a case if I take this matter to small claim court? I live in San Jose(Santa Clara County) California.

Answer

Yes, you can take the case to Small Claims Court but is it worth your time and trouble??? You will have to sue the person who hit you and not the insurance company. You will have to spend the money to pay the court fee and then the money to serve the person with the complaint. If there is prior damage then the judge might try to apportion the damage or award you nothing. I doubt this is worth it.

what can i do if my internet provider is consistatly less than 100 and still charges full price with no refund

Question

what can i do if my internet provider is consistatly less than 100% and still charges full price with no refund

Answer

If the provider is unwilling to provide you any rebate for poor service, you most likely have the option to cancel and then sue but if you don't have proof of the level of falloff in service beware the terms of service which are lengthy and may provide a defense. A judge may overlook them because they are usually huge and complex and one-sided, but maybe not. And if the provider has a right to any cancellation fees, they could sue you and then you'd have to defend. The best thought may be to just get their agreement for you to cancel without penalty, and find a provider that works for you.

Question

Wife cheated. Two kids (14 & 7). Live in Massachusetts. I have no money to get the ball rolling on a divorce and the house (purcchased during marriage) is in her name. Am fearfful I'll end up living in a car unable to have a place to care for my children unless we sell the home and split the proceeds. How can I make this happen?

Answer

Thank you for your question.

After a review of your financials, our firm may be able to represent you on a deferred fee basis, or perhaps a low hourly/deferred fee combination. Assuming that your marriage is at least as old as your children (you don't mention), the marital estate is presumptively going to be divided roughly equally, although the court will consider a number of factors in making a fair division of the estate. The fact that the home is in her name does not mean it is her home.

You should feel safe reaching out to an attorney and getting started.

If contract is dated wrong, does it make it invalid? Husband signed an agreement in Virginia. Its a bad bad deal and he's within 3 business ...

Question

If contract is dated wrong, does it make it invalid? Husband signed an agreement in Virginia. Its a bad bad deal and he's within 3 business days, but I've been told it doesn't apply to auto sales. They dated the contract for 9/17/2011, but my husband did not even go into the dealership until 9/19/2011. Need help now.

Answer

Yes, you've been told right regarding the issue of cancellation "within 3 business

days", and, furthermore, the typoed date on this contract is not

enough to invalidate it (in my opinion).

In other words, you're husband is probably stuck with it, i.e, this "bad bad deal"

(unless, of course, there are other valid grounds on which to invalidate it).

They asked me for a statement about what happened. I gave them one stating everything I knew of the matter. Now they want me to state that i dont feel like the threat remains to me or the store I work at, and why. I do not feel comfortable with answering this question, because I feel I could be held liable if something happens out of my control. What should I do? I am in Indiana. Thank you!

Question

My wife and I helped our brother-in-law by trying to talk to my sister-in-law (my wife's sister) through an intervention at her Taoist temple and have her return his paperwork (passport, green card, social) after 3 months on avoidance/non-contact. We finally called the officers to file a report. When they arrived they decided to go enter the premises and fetch her out. After the officers searched the place and did not find her (she supposedly left her car on the street in front even though we had a driveway that's safe from tickets; that's how we figured she'd be there). Anyway, we filed the report and the officers left. Well, when she finally showed up magically from somewhere (we watched the car when the officers mentioned it was okay to do so and call them when someone showed up). She lied to the new set of officers by saying she was returned it 2 months ago, and now they are suing us. We never entered the premises per the officers rules. There were no confrontation by any of us. We waited in our vehicle until the officers showed up.

Do they have a case against us? If so, would this be considered civil or another kind of lawsuit? I'm trying to find out if they can actually sue us for hundred's of thousands as they said they would; I am still awaiting being served the so-called papers.

Answer

I do not really understand what happened. If you can clarify what occurred, why they say they will sue you, what the car has to do with it, etc., I can then try to answer.

Question

What is the cost differences between divorce, disillusionment and legal seperation? I have little money and I'm trying to weigh my options. I want to start this quickly but I don't want to be left with nothing. Thank you in advance.

Answer

In Ohio, there isn't much difference between divorce, disolution and legal separation as far as cost go. The key to keeping costs down is keeping the fighting over issues to a minimum. Because dissolutions usually involve a separation agreement worked out to everyone's satisfaction, that can keep costs down, but paying the attorneys to get everyone to a deal is sometimes not cheap.

Bottom line, if you aren't fighting over anything, the termination of your marriage isn't going to cost you too much. If you are fighting, the sky is the limit.

Once you understand how to get guys to buy lap dances from you, you'll generally make between $80 - $100 an hour. So if you work a 10 hour shift, you should expect to bring home around $1,000.

Question

Because of the ice storm this weekend I was unable to pick up my daughter for the weekend. The roads were closed. My X husband won't work Anything out. What can I do to get my time with her?

Answer

It's a shame that you are going through this. How sad for the child.

Courts like parents to cooperate and work together. It sounds like the two of you are unable to do so.

You can ask the court to give you a make-up visit. You will need to hire a private attorney to help you with this. Unfortunately, it will cost money and I don't know how long it will take you to get in front of a judge during this holiday season.

You might consider mediation. You need to read your decree and see if you are ordered to use mediation before you go back to court.

I hope this info helps. Look on this website & on www.avvo.com for an attorney to help you.

If you need a mediator there are several websites for TX mediators - mediate.com, mediation.com, Texas Association of Mediators, Texas Texas Mediator Credentialing Association are just a few.

I am located in Houston is that is convenient. I cannot force your x to attend mediation. Only a judge can order a party to mediation. Otherwise, mediation is voluntary.

Good luck! Happy Holidays.

Question

sacramento city police came to my house yesterday impounded a trailer and took moms boyfriend to jail only to release him hrs. later. provided he is on probation, this is the second time they have come for the same reason , apparently there was a theft they have someone else pic carring the the stolen items, the person in the pic was actually here the first time they came, they told us that they were not going to arrest the person in the pic that moms boyfriend was going to be held resposible, i am wondering if there is a harassment case here. and can we beat this based on the fact that they have a photo of the actual thief.

Answer

First of all if your mother's boyfriend is on probation he has given up most of his rights and winning a civil suit would be difficult

Second, more than one person can commit a theft or be in possession of stolen property. Just because, at one particular moment, someone else is photographed in possession of the property does not mean that your mother's boyfriend cannot be charged with the crime. Nor does it mean that the Probation Department or the DA cannot move to violate his probation, where it is not necessary to show guilt by a beyond a reasonable doubt standard.

I don't dare answer this question, since I am not even sure you have the facts straight. First of all, you refer to your husband as an "ex boyfriend." I am also curious as to what kind of spousal support you would get for a two month marriage.

What are the objects seen in guernica?

What are the objects seen in guernica?
Several objects, as well as human and animal forms, appear in Pablo Picasso's masterpiece, 'Guernica.' The black, white and gray painting, which stands over 11 feet tall and 25 feet wide, shows a scene of wartime violence. Some of the creatures depicted include a horse, a bull, a bird, and several male and female human figures, including a mother holding a dead child. A fallen soldier's hand grips a broken-off sword, and a single lightbulb hangs from the ceiling.

Question

If i pleaded to a theft by taking felony and I was a first offender I did probation, community, service and I paid a fine will that being on my record even though the clerk submitted information to the GCIC to update my file. Will it have an impact on me if I was trying to get a job in the medical field

Answer

You completed a first offender felony probation. Therefore on your record employers will see felony arrest and under disposition, they will see first offender. There is no sealing or expunging that. Will it have an impact? Of course. How much of an impact? That depends. It depends on the employers need (how much they need you), your competition (how many others that have no record that are going for the same job), if the employers understands what first offender really is, if the employer cares to find out what first offender is after they see a felony arrest on your record.

Question

Is it Ok for my parents to give us a down payment on a second home? My present home is not selling and am thinking about renting it and purchasing another in a better school district.

Answer

As long as your parents agree to "give" you the money and you do not lie about it to the lender, it appears that you would not be violating any criminal laws by using such a gift to make down payment on a house or condo. If you decieve the lender or any governmental agency involved with the loan, you may have civil liability and possibly criminal culpability.

Good luck

Would an investigator from cps ever ask a layperson with no medical training to give a urine drug test to a parent during a cps visitation?

Question

Would an investigator from cps ever ask a layperson with no medical training to give a urine drug test to a parent during a cps visitation?

Answer

Urine tests need to be done by a court approved lab. I have never heard of a urine test being admitted into evidence without a trained professional doing the test and collection.

On the other hand, CPS does all sorts of "strange" things.

You need an attorney immediately. Look on this website and on www.avvo.com for a family law attorney that handles cps cases.

Question

Previously I asked a question on this board, and I believe that I worded it in a way that it is not being read correctly: https://www./answers/question/show/yqUXDskxnO You would think that with a B.A. in English I could do better? Anyway, I would like to give it a second chance, in hopes of more information.

In 2008 I worked for a small Printing Company. I ran a very large digital press and also handled some design and file preparation, working anywhere from 40-60 hours per week. My partner worked there as well as Office Manager, and worked the same hours as we drove in together. The office was fairly small, including the owner, his partner, a design and color expert, accountant, and a gentleman in bindery.

Everything went smoothly for over half a year. Sometime during the 6th or 7th month I came across an odd e-mail. One of my job's (and everyone else's jobs, for that matter) was to check each e-mail on a constant basis. That means I had access to EVERY PERSON'S e-mail in the office. This was to make sure that no one forgot anything, and nothing fell through the cracks. One day when I was doing this I came across a strange e-mail -- as I said -- from a person I did not know. I did my research, trying to see if she was a client or otherwise, and a simple Google search showed that she was a prostitute. At this time I said nothing.

Several more e-mails came through from her over the following month. They talked about having sex multiple times, having a threesome with one of her friends, falling in love, and the gift of a GPS-Unit. Around this time my Boss hired two new people - a gentleman I was training on the machine as well as on pre-press, and another office girl - and he was about to go on a trip with CANON because the machine I ran was having continual problems. Being a quarter-of-a-million dollar machine, CANON was anxious to figure out hte problems so that they could continue manufacture, as this was supposed to be a machine that could handle the stress of a busy press.

Anyway, my boss's wife could not come with him on the CANON trip, nor could his partner. Instead he took the prostitute.

While he was gone my partner and I were discussing the goings-on of the office. I knew from the accountant that the man I was training was making more money than I was by quite a bit. My partner was also training the girl, who was getting preferential treatment because her mother had been an old crush of our boss's, and.. well, let's just say she was rather attractive.

I finally decided to approach our boss's partner asking for a raise, not wanting to stress our boss -- who I considered a friend -- during his vacation. During this process, I let the partner know that I was seeing e-mails that I would rather not see, that were of personal nature. I was trying to warn him so that this could be fixed.

Instead what happened was the Accountant learned all of this information and told our Boss before he got back. When he did, we were confronted and I explained that we had approached his partner because we did not want to stress him out wwhile he was having a good time... and that I had mentioned the e-mails hoping that his partner could warn him that personal information was coming through.

It was then that I found that that e-mail account was NOT supposed to be showing up on my computer, and that it was a personal account, of which I had NO idea.

Needless to say, things got very... tense after this. About a week and a half later we were approached by the partner who gave us our options: We could agree to sign a piece of paper stating that we would never tell anyone about our boss's transgressions and we would receive severance, and they would not fight us when we asked for unemployment. He also promised us good recommendations for future work. I told him that we would be happy to sign the piece of paper and continue to work for them, as we had no intentions of spreading the rumor (though we found out that everyone in the office knew anyway... since the e-mails were pretty obvious). Our boss denied this.

We had no option but to sign the paper, which we were never given a copy of. We received our severance and everything promised (though they weren't very good about the good recommendations). This was at the end of 2008, in October. We were then forced to move 'back home' because we couldn't afford to live where we were anymore.

Anyway, about two years later I was talking to someone about it, and he told me that it was all very, very illegal. He told us the paperwork was illegal, and that not receving a copy of our own was illegal. I believe he called it all extortion. So at this time we tried to find legal aid. We called various lawyers, went through Better Busness Bureau, etc., but could find no help. I've given up on suing.

Now, three years later there is only one thing I want to do. I want to tell his wife what happened. After all this time, I realize the only reason I didn't tell her was because I was hanging onto the idea that I had once been friends with our bosses, and that she had a young son. However, I don't think this is fair any longer. She was having marital problems with him when we were working there (other e-mails were seen coming through from her, that were pretty ugly between them, and basically showed that they were staying together for the son). She owns half the business, though she has nothing to do with it, because they got tax breaks by having a female own part of the business (this is only one of the shady practices they used, including buying items on Craig's List and not claiming them for taxes, claiming random items as business expenses, etc).

In short, I want to send her a well-worded letter letting her know what happened. I have e-mail proof of the transactions. THere was also the trip with CANON that could be traced. My partner is afraid that we will be sued for Libel, but I can't see how they would ever win like that. I do not plan to send a letter to anyone other than his wife, and she can make up her mind what to do with it form there. I am not asking anyone for money.

I want to know if this is safe to do. I do not want any help with ethics, as it is not the problem. I need to know what my options are PURELY from a legal stand-point. If you wish to speak with me more privately through e-mail to ask questions, please indicate so in your answer and I will e-mail you (providing your e-mail is in your profile).

Answer

There are a host of privacy issues going on here. Even with access to the emails, you were only supposed to have access to "business" emails and once you saw that they did not have anything to do with the "business", you really don't any reason to have access it and it would be an invasion of privacy, as you said it was a personal email account. I am also troubled with your statement that you went to Google and it "showed she was a prostitute". Google does not classify, categorize or identify people as prostitutes. You will be stepping in hot water from her if you call her that. Bottom line, don't write any letter to anyone. It won't do any good and can bite you VERY hard when every one sues you. Slander, Libel, intentional infliction of emotional distress, invasion of privacy, false light and negligence are but a few I can think of that will go against you.

Answer

We are qualified to give legal advice; probably unqualified to give moral or life advice. Truth is a defense to libel. Defending lawsuits, even successfully, is debilitating and expensive. I'd advise letting bygones be bygones.

Can someone sue an employer for causing undue financial hardship?

Question

Can someone sue an employer for causing undue financial hardship?

Answer

I would need more facts to answer your question, but you should know that PA is a very pro-employer state, and unless the employer violates the laws of the Department of Labor and Industry; discriminates against you based on race, sex, age, or physical condition, or if you get hurt at work. Absent these circumstances, you are probably subject to termination for just about any reason that the employer wants. The reasons you can sue an employer in PA are very limited. I would need to know how your employer has caused you "undue financial hardship" before I could answer the question.

Question

I received a summons and part of it says I am required to file a petition with the Court and serve a copy upon the plaintiffs attorney prior to the court hearing date or be present at court date. What does this mean?

Answer

It probably says to file an answer to the Petition. It means that you musy either file a written answer (and send copy to the plaintiff attorney) or appear at the Answer docket. Otherwise the Plaintiff may get a judgement by default against you. You may want to consult directly with a civil practice attorney in your area. They may be able to telll you what defenses you have.

Good luck.

Answer

You did not receive a summons saying that you are required to file a Petition. Maybe you should take a moment and read the summons and other papers you received more carefully. Then, you should contact an attorney in your area to set up a consultation for the attorney to review everything and provide you with the advice you need. Good luck!

Question

My brother has an Abstract of Judgement recorded against him for $13k for credit card debt that he never paid off. I discovered it when I looked up his name at the Los Angeles County recorder's office. The judgement was recorded in December of 2008. He has no means to pay this judgement off...

In December of 2003, he Quit Claimed a house that he owned (with approx $50k of equity in it) to me because he could not afford the mortgage payments. I did not pay him any money for the equity. I subsequently refinanced the house in my name and have been making payments on the mortgage for the last 10 years.

I am planning on selling the house shortly.. 2 questions:

1. Can my brother's Abstract of Judgement (recorded in December 2008) create a lien on my house (which was quit claimed to me in December 2003)?

2. If my brother receives future judgements against him for other unpaid debt, can they go after me or my house in any way?

Thank you.

Answer

Is the Judgment recorded as a lien against your house?

Since he quit claimed it to you 5 years prior to the abstract, the transfer is probably safe from a fraudulent transfer claim. The house is now in your name only? If yes, any judgment against your brother will not affect you.

If the Judgment is filed against your house as a lien, you need to contact the creditor and ask them to remove the lien. If they refuse, you can sue them for "quiet title" and receive damages, attorneys fees and costs.

Answer

1, No. You owed the property well before the judgment and the abstract can only create a lien against property in the name of the judgment debtor. If there hand been a lien against your home, you would not have been able to refinance the property.

2. No. If someone gives away an asset for free or next to nothing to hide it from creditors, a creditor could theoretically file a lawsuit to get in back for the judgment debtor and then put a lien on it. But even if the creditors had a valid claim, which I don't think they do, the statute of limitations would have expired long ago.

The bottom line is that I believe you are clear and the title insurance you obtained should protect you.

Question

I currently have 15% sweat equity that was supposed to increase by 5% for every year I continued to work with the company. There are two parts to my question, recently the kiosk was subleased to another company to conceptualize our menu. While I continue to work with this the "new" company, does that eliminate my accrual of sweat equity? Additionally, I am considering taking the former brand and starting a food truck instead, so I want to know what legal leg I have to stand on, if any.

Answer

Without access to all the details of your sweat equity arrangement and without knowing whether the sublease goes beyond a sublease in its terms, I can't be entirely sure. However, in most cases, a sublease of business property wouldn't cause a termination of a pre-existing sweat equity agreement. Obviously, however, there could be an impact -- positive or negative -- on the ultimate market value of X% of equity from such a sublease (just as there could be an impact on the value of equity from any other major business event or transaction). As to starting your own business, unless there was some provision in your sweat-equity agreement that you had to stay with the company for some definite period in order for your sweat equity to vest (i.e., become yours), you shouldn't lose what you've already earned. However, if you aren't around to observe and participate in the business, funny things can happen. As far as the legality of going into competition with your previous employer, California favors competition and it is generally legal to jump ship and start your own business, but don't steal any of your employer's trade secrets.

Answer

There is absolutely no way anyone can answer your question beyond "it depends." So while I generally agree with my colleague here, I think it would be grossly premature to opine without the benefit of reviewing the agreement you have along with all the facts and circumstances.

Regards to using the "brand" in a new endeavor, it will depend on who has a prior right to the trademark(s) at issue.

I strongly suggest that you consult a lawyer in private before you commit to anything here. If you would like to discuss further over a free phone consult, feel free to contact me anytime that is convenient.

Question

In 2009 my husband and I financed some furniture. Several months later we realized we were over our heads financially. We decided to file brankruptcy and stopped making the payments. It took me about 5 weeks to get all the papers for the lawyer but he would not proceed until we paid in full. After another 2 months of unable to pay his fee I decided not to file bankruptcy. By that time I separated from my husband and was paying everything on my own plus 2 children. I couldnt pay to catch up on the bills and couldnt pay rent. I moved out to a cheaper place and in the meantime met someone who ended up stealing money from me. It was a little at a time so all I noticed was that I still couldnt pay my utilities. Very long story. I ended up being homeless for 2 months. I then moved with my sister. I was still working all this time but my check was going all to pay bank overdraft fees since this person also wrote checks from my acct. Its now 9 months later and I am slowly getting back on my feet with my now 4 children. I received a noticeI am getting sued and have to go to court for the furniture that I dont have cause I had to sell it to feed my kids. What are my options with lawsuite? Will I have to set up payments? Its hard with 4 kids, rent, utilities, and no real financial help. My 2 son's dad makes $1000 a month and my 2 daughters dad is currently in jail. Sorry this is so long. And I even left out a lot.

Answer

I am very sorry to hear about your plight. Given your situation, it would seem that you would be garnishment free, but I suggest you look at my web site for addtional information. Your credit is probably ruined already, so I would suggest, not knowing more, that you do not worry about paying the debt at this time and save your money if you can to file for bankruptcy to unload all you debts and start new. Your credit will be ruined for 7 years after you file, but it probably is now ruined anyway. See www.ConsumerLawyerHelp.com under garnishment.

Answer

I agree with Mr. Marino. However, go to the hearing, tell the Judge your story. You are no doubt exempt from making payments as being head of household and your income is probably insufficient to cover a payment arrangement. YOU Will NOT GO TO JAIL for not paying bills. Some of the collectors make this threat and sadly too many people believe it.

no one can know the answer to that question. should the warrant pop up? yes. if it pops up should customs take you into custody? yes. what will actually happen? no one knows. see website for info on how to retain the right attorney, if you are arrested: www.lawrencelewispc.com

Assuming computers work as intended, customs will take you into custody and presumably eventually the folks that want you will have you.

Assuming you are not really foolish, you'll already have an attorney to attempt to deal with the case.

Question

My husband recently had an affair. The woman he had the affair with is claiming she is pregnant with his child. She first was requesting money for an abortion, then threatened to ruin us, then came back and asked for more money for an abortion and now has gone back to threatening my husband, me and my 10 yr old daughter. We have given the woman the money to she requested as she promised she would have an abortion with the money given to her. She has not yet had the procedure and is now asking for more money before having it done. She is threatening to have him arrested for assault and rape if he doesnt give her the additional money and has said that her attorney has advised her to have an unwanted child just so she can sue him. Can she do this? Do we have any protection? Can she come after me? Can she have me served at my office for my husbands DNA of which she has threatened to do to cause me embarassment. Is this extortion? Harassment?? Do I have any protection?

Answer

Do not give her any more money. Your husband should clearly tell her not to contact him any more. If she contacts him again anyway, he can file a complaint with the police for harassment. If he is served with paternity papers or any other legal documents he should immediately consult with a family law attorney.

Question

Here is my scenario: I attend a church which rents a public school for Sunday morning services. The school district provides staff during the times our church meets there for assistance with opening rooms, obtaining chairs, etc... On December 23, 2012, we used the facility for the first time for an evening service. That evening, there were no lignts turned on in the parking lot. My developmentally disabled brother broke his shoulder when he tripped over a curb on our way in to the building. He required surgery for the injury and is now recovering. The church is accepting responsibility and filed a claim with their insurance. The coverage ceiling is $15,000. The ER charge was over $4,000 and I suppose the surgery itself will exceed the $15,000 ceiling. I am in the process of finding out who accepts liability in the agreement between the church and school. My dilemma is this: the school (in my perspective) was negligent because our church has no access to the lighting. Please give me some insight regarding recourse to be sure all costs incurred are covered. The church and the school are both in Missouri.

Answer

It appears that both the school and church may be liable (as well as the person who was in charge of him that night) to your brother or his guardian/conservator. Obviously, whoever approved him getting treated, is liable to the healthcare provider. The churches liability is not limited by their insurance coverage (they just get part if it paid by their insurer). I suspect that the church has contractually agreed you recompense the school district for any claims made by those who attend services. That is between them, and doesn't really affect your brother.

This is a general assessment, based upon your general description of the facts. Your brother, or his guardian/conservator should consult directly with a civil practice attorney, before deciding how to proceed.

Good luck

Question

my fiance has had a phone service that has repeatedly drop her calls and cause her phone to not to be able to dial out stating that "this number is not a actual number" 2 nights ago this happened and she called the company and told the "what happens is i have to dial 911" Well guess what today while she was following me home my truck caught on fire and why'll she was trying to call her phone repeatedly stated "this number is the wrong number"..... 911....wrong number? Anyways my truck is now a burnt up pile so i was wondering if we could do anything about it.

Answer

I a,pm sorry to hear about your truck. Depending upon the agreement with her carrier, your fiance may be able to get a partial refund of her service bill, or cancel her contract. She might want to make sure that she isn't having a hardware issue. If her carrier is one that has actual stores, she might take her phone in and try to make a call in front of a technician or salesperson,

Based upon the facts you described, the carrier does not appear to be liab

E for the damage to your truck. But, perhaps there are facts that you weren't able to provide, that could make them liable to her for some damages. Therefore, she should consult directly with a civil practice attorney in her area.

Good luck

Question

After divorce, my ex-husband continutes to drive a truck with license plates jointly registered with me on the registration. Pursuant to the divorce, I have no ownership interest in this vehicle, but remain on the title, loan, and license plates as he refuses to take action. He has been repeatedly running through toll booths in Illinois (our home state) and causing tickets to be sent to me since i am listed on the registration. He knows he is doing this and refuses to stop. What sort of lawsuit can be filed to force him to stop this behavior and pay for the fees and problems associated?

Answer

Take him back into the court that handled your divorce and file a "Rule to Show Cause" why he shouldn't be held in contempt. Talk first to the attorney who handled your divorce and follow his/her advice.

Question

I was in a multi-car accident a week ago. I was with my wife, my 8 month old son and another married couple who are friends of ours. I was traveling down a 3 lane road in the far left lane approaching a light. The car in front of me stopped, i stopped, the car behind me was not paying attention and rear ended us and pushed us into the first vehicle. My vehicle has about $10,000 worth of damages and may be totaled out. My wife and son were taken by ambulance from the scene to the hospital. The married couple drove separately and admitted themselves. At the hospital everyone was looked at, given pain medication and released. I was not admitted but sought medical attention 3 days later.

The police report indicates the third driver is at fault and the company has accepted fault for the accident.

My son has been to the pediatrician and the chiropractor and by what they can tell is okay. My wife is having severe neck pain, moderate back pain and dizziness. The chiropractor has quoted her treatment over 12 weeks at $4,000. I have had neck and back pain. The chiropractor has quoted her treatment over 10 weeks at $3,000.

We were without a car for one week before a rental was provided. I am salary and can work from home, but i expended many hours during the day dealing with this and although wages were not lost my work has been affected.

Our friends are sore but have not sought any medical treatment. The insurance company has already offered them a settlement offer of $1,500. Which they have decided to accept this coming week.

I have a few questions:

1. If my friends accept this low ball offer, could it impact my ability to get a significantly higher and more fair settlement? or it doesnt matter what they do?

2. If my friends settlement can impact my settlement, what should i advise them to do?

3. Based on the financial details above what is the amount that I can expect to get for pain and suffering if I try negotiating it my self?

4. Based on the financial details above what is the amount that I can expect to get for pain and suffering if I hire a lawyer?

5. When is the best time to engage a lawyer?

6. If i go it my own when is the best time to settle? Should I wait for the medical issues to be resolved?

7. Is there anything else i should be aware of that I missed or may not know?

I understand that the typical answer to this type of inquiry is: HIRE A LAWYER. I understand this, but in answering my questions completely and honestly will persuade me to call you when i choose to do that.

Thanks!

Answer

Normally you can expect many answers..and of course you need a lawyer. But the friends setlement only affects your settlement to the amount they accepted. For instance, if the insurance limits for the at fault driver is $50,000...then you may only have tat much left. From the description you give, fortunately nothing serious but u all have two years from the date of accident to file a lawsuit.....apparently you have healt insurance so no rush there. And I presume you have underinsured coverage which needs to be considere..and your policy may provide Personal injury protection, unless you rejected it, for all occupants..

we would be happy to help but no rush ..good luck....Don't settle until your doctor confirms there is no serious injury to any of you...

Answer

I'm sorry you and your family were hurt in this wreck. I will try to address each of your questions below:

1. If my friends accept this low ball offer, could it impact my ability to get a significantly higher and more fair settlement? or it doesnt matter what they do? Actually, your friends accepting a low settlement offer could wind up being to your benefit. All liability policies have a limit to what they will pay, no matter how many victims or how severe the injuries. If the aggregate limits of the policy of the guy who hit you is $60,000 and your friends settle for $3,000, then that leaves $57,000 of policy coverage to compensate you and your family for your claims. The more the insurance company pays your friends, the less there is for you and your family.

2. If my friends settlement can impact my settlement, what should i advise them to do? I know it may seem mercenary, but you need to decide what is best for your family. I would be honest with them and can tell them what was discussed in answer to question 1, but it is there decision, and if they are happy with $1,500 each, then I see no reason why you should try to convince them otherwise.

3. Based on the financial details above what is the amount that I can expect to get for pain and suffering if I try negotiating it my self? That is a very difficult question, and requires a crystal ball to answer. That are a lot of things that could effect the value of your case from the amount of property damage (a good fact for you) to the insurance company involved, to the adjuster assigned to your claim. What you need to understand is that insurance companies are not in the business of compensating accident victims, a common misconception. Insurance companies are in the business of taking peoples' premiums and never giving them back, that's how they make money. So, the insurance company will try to get away with paying you as little as possible. You should know, however, that a study by, I think it was the insurance institute showed that people represented by attorneys received more money than those representing themselves, even after deducting the attorney's fees. Also, the great thing about using an attorney for your situation is that it does not cost you anything out of pocket. The attorney is paid out of the money he gets for you and your family.

4. Based on the financial details above what is the amount that I can expect to get for pain and suffering if I hire a lawyer? Please see my answer above. Also, 20 years ago the rule was they would pay three times your medicals, that is not true anymore. But, again, studies show that people who use attorneys to fight for them against the insurance companies on average receive a hirer settlement amount.

5. When is the best time to engage a lawyer? The best time is to hire a lawyer right away. The adjuster has probably already taken your recorded statement. You may have innocently said something in your recorded statement that will be used by the insurance company to discount your claim. Or you may have gotten frustrated with the adjuster and things have gotten adversarial. If that is happened, the adjuster may jerk you around out of spite. Obviously (and thankfully) this is the first major wreck you've been in. The insurance adjuster has dealt with thousands of these claims. The adjuster has the advantage and the check book. What I tell my clients is that they're David, the insurance company is Goliath, but I'm their sling shot.

6. If i go it my own when is the best time to settle? Should I wait for the medical issues to be resolved? Absolutely. You were involved in a VERY serious wreck. Once you sign the settlement release, there is no going back for additional monies and the insurance company will not settle with you and leave the door open for you to get additional medical treatment. You should be sure that the doctor has discovered and treated everything that was caused by the wreck, that you have had all the diagnostic tests needed to determine everything that's wrong with you, and that you know how these injuries will effect you in the future, such as arthritis and the potential for a future surgery. Do not settle until you know the answer to these questions.

7. Is there anything else i should be aware of that I missed or may not know? Yes, but I don't want to overwhelm you. You need to check to see if you have Underinsured motorist (U/M) coverage on your auto policy. The value of you, your wife and child's claims may be more than what is left on the policy of the guy who hit you (see answer to question 1). As such, you should open a claim under your U/M policy. And, this is extremely important, make sure you get written permission from your U/M adjuster to accept a settlement from the insurance company of the guy who causes the wreck. Otherwise, you will have waived your ability to recover under the U/M policy. Further, if you haven't started treatment for your injuries, you need to do so immediately, as you are playing into the hands of the insurance company. They won't pay you for treatment that you might have had or should have had. Further, they will argue that, as you didn't get treatment, you must not have been hurt. Again, they are looking for anyway to not pay you what your claim is worth.

Should you have any more questions, please do not hesitate to call me. You can reach me directly at (214) 534-9325. Best wishes to you and your family.

Sincerely,

Carl Weinkauf

Question

I was arrested for domestic violence simple battery aganist my 15 year old step son. He hit me first and continued to hit me until i grabbed him and shoved him off of me. I grabbed him by the throat trying to get him to stop. He did not tell the police this of course. My question is what will happen to me if he dose not show up for court. And what will happen if my wife goes in and tells them the truth about what happened. It was self defence

Answer

Self defense is a defense. You should get an attorney or have the public defender appointed. If he does not show up after being subpoenaed, he will have a warrant issued for him. His mother is a witness and can testify as to anything she witnessed.

Question

I paid off an old debt in Feb. This was removed from my credit report in April and then it showed up again in May under a different collection agency. I told the agency I paid the debt and they froze it on my credit report though it is still affecting me negatively. They requested validation of debt from the original creditor over 30 days ago at this point. How long does the original creditor have to reply (if any limit) and what are my next step legally (In Pennsylvania)

Answer

First, I would need to see your credit report. I don't understandd why the debt was removed from your credit report unless the debt was stale (waws older than 7 years since the date of charge-off or first sent for collection). If you paid, your report would ordinarily be amended to state that the debt was paid in full or settled.

When you paid the debt, did you get a settlement letter indicating that payment of the settlement amount would end any further collection efforts? Did you keep a copy of the settlement letter and check or money order?

If not, then you may have to pay again since you have no proof of payment. Just telling a collector that you paid is not good enough. Most collectors that I deal with want to see proof of payment.

What do you mean by the collector "froze" it on your credit report? Debt collectors do not freeze credit reports. Freezing refers to something else - it is something that you do.

Assuming that you settled the debt back in February, nothing precludes the balance of the debt from being re-sold to another collector.

There is no time limit for validating a debt. The Fair Credit Reporting Act says that if a debt is not validated, then it is supposed to be removed from your credit report completely. But that is something that you dispute with the credit bureaus. The validation under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act is different. Under the latter, you dispute your liability for the debt with the debt collector. Upon receipt of your letter, the debt collector then asks the creditor or current owner of the debt for validation and proof that you owe the debt. While the debt is being validated, it should not be on your credit report at all.

It is unclear what your nexty step should be. As I stated, your credit report should list the debt but that its been paid (in most instances). If you protected yourself properly by getting the settlement letter and making a copy of your proof of payment, the first step upon receipt of the letter from the second collection agency would have been to dispute the debt on the grounds that you already paid. That would have ended the matter in most cases.

Since that was not done, you indicate that the collector requested validation of the debt. How do you know? Are you relying on a phone conversation? Or did you do a dispute letter?

I would send a written request to the 3 major credit bureaus (after you confirm how they are reporting the debt) and ask them either to remove the debt (if its stale) or to correct the report to reflect that the debt has been paid.

Only unpaid debts have negative consequences, not paid/settled debts. Assuming that the debt is validated by the 3 credit bureaus in 30 days, then you need to send a certified letter to the debt collector or creditor who placed this information on your credit report and ask them to remove the item. If the second request is refused, then you can bring suit against the entity that placed information that is erroneous on your report. You can recover up to $1000 or your actual damages. If you get that far, contact local counsel who specializes in FDCPA/FCRA violations. You might try Attorney Greg Artim as he is in your neck of the the woods- he has been active in the past at Law Guru. Or you are free to consult with any other local attorney.

Question

I had an accident in my car. I have a loan on the car. I got an estimate to repair the car through a body shop that my insurance company works with. The insurance company sent me a check for the amount of the their body shops estimate. I found a place that will do a better job, and even cheaper than the first estimate.

Can I keep the remaining balance?

Answer

Yes, but if the car isn't done correctly you'll have a difficult time convincing your insurance company to pay for any additional damage. Strictly from a financial standpoint I'd say put the money you save on the loan to pay down the principal.

Question

I want to get a divorce from my wife and we have four kids together I have my two boys and she has our oldest daughter in another state where she leaves and are youngest daughter lives with my mom and sister in another state so should I seek custody? How do I go about getting a divorce?

Answer

You need to file for dissolution, fancy word for divorce, and seek joint legal and physical custody, depending on the ages, you will probably end up as primary custodial parent for the 2 boys, while she will be primary custodial for 2 girls, but generally the courts don't want to split up the kids. This is a complicated case due to 4 kids, but I have 4 kids as well. What county are you in? Is your wife in a different county? Your are working? Is she working? Does she want to move?

Answer

By your zip code, looks like you live in Pomona. For your divorce you would go to the Los Angeles Superior Court in Pomona. This is a case though in which you would most likely need a attorney. You can file for the divorce where you are so long as you have lived in the county for the last 3 months and the star for the last 6 months. Big questions regarding custody will hinge on how long the two of you have been separated and how long the kids have been where they are.

Question

Is there a way to get a record of a will from a court or something? if the sibling won't provide the will to the rest of the family. the lawyer who helped with the will died a long time ago, so cant get it from him

Answer

A will does not have to be deposited or filed in a court until it is probated,, so there is no way to get a copy until someone files for probate. The best way to get a copy is to file for probate, asking that you be appointed as personal representative. If the person who has the will wants to enforce it, he or she will have to produce it at that time, and file it with the court. Otherwise, the petitioner will likely be appointed as personal representative.

If I'm on child support and I have visitation rights but the mother is not letting me see my son, what do I do?

Answer

You can seek an enforcement order from the family court that has jurisdiction over your child to obtain visitation.

What you do NOT want to do is stop paying support. Your support obligation is independent of your visitation rights. Just because you are being improperly denied visitation does not mean your support obligation is terminated or suspended.

Question

What do I do when my lawyer is never available and over 19 months never met him only his office manger and now my case as settled and I'm not happy with the out come and he calls me and tells me to sign because that's all I'm getting?? Never discussed the case early on or what was his plans I don't know if this the right method what should I do???

Answer

I can't comment on whether the proposed settlement is fair or not but it is your decision as to whether you accept your lawyer's advice or not. If you are unhappy with your lawyer for any reason, whether it is because of lack of communication, comfort level, or anything else, it is your right as a consumer to discontinue the relationship and choose someone else to handle the case. Of course, depending on the circumstances, another lawyer may or may not be interested or willing to take on the case, but you can't be forced to make a decision on your case that you don't want to take. If I were you, I would insist on meeting with the lawyer to discuss the case and the proposed settlement and perhaps the lawyer can explain his or her thoughts to you and why the he/she believes you should settle. If you are not comfortable with the settlement proposed, certainly you should not agree to sign anything until you are satisfied.

Question

The company I work for changed the way we clock in about 6 months ago. Since then my paycheck has not been correct because of glitches in the clock. Do I have any recourse. My employer has made pay adjustments in the past but the problem continues and I am fed up with having to deal with this month after month.

Answer

If the employer makes the appropriate corrections, there is not much you can do. Your recourse will be if you are not paid properly and they refuse to fix it. If they do this, you can contact the Department of Labor to file a wage complaint.

Question

My parential rights were taken on 1-21-11. The case is being appealed by myself in superior court and I was just wanting some info about weither or not to hire a new attorney .

Answer

Depends on where you are in the appeal. Due dates for briefs and transcripts are going to determine if a new lawyer will be able to help.

John

Answer

Appeals are very complicated. It seldom is a good idea to represent yourself and that is even more so true in an appeal due to the added complexity. You absolutely should try to retain a lawyer. However, as the previous post mentioned, you may have trouble finding a lawyer depending on where you are at in the case. If any deadlines have passed or are close to passing, then an attorney likely won't take it. Also, if a brief was already submitted, a lawyer may not want to take it because they may not want to be stuck with that brief. You should absolutely call around though and see if this is a case that someone would take.

Question

As a Mortgage Broker, in order to become approved to do business with most wholesale lenders, I am required to pay $79 and apply through a company called www.commergence.com which collects and reviews my financials and lender documentation. Today I received a decline notice from a lender with whom I had applied, that was based solely on a Courtlink printout provided to them by Comergence. The individual simply shared my first and last name and had a pending Federal criminal case against him for drug sales in a county located 7 hours from my location. This is not me and I called Comergence and was told that I would have to drive 7 hours to the US Court in order to have them provide me with documentation to show that the inidividual is not me. I am not going to drive 7 hours for a job that they needed to provide for a service that they charged me for. They didn't use my social security number, address or anything else related to me. I asked to speak to a Manager and after 10 minutes on hold their representative told me that there wasn't a Manager available but they would call me back. They did not which added to me being livid. They were negligent for breaching their duty of care in providing the lender with carefully obtained information. I would like to report them to the AG and Dept. of Consumer Affairs and possibly the County DA in which they conduct business. I would like your feedback on my remedies available at law.

Question

If you are seperated from your Husband (not legally) but live apart, is he allowed to change his Will or insurance policies without the Wife's consent?

Answer

If no action has been filed in court, he can change anything he wants. If you want to stop him, file an action for divorce or seperate support and serve him with the complaint and summons. The summons contains an automatic financial restraining order.

Answer

He can change his Will and his beneficiary on a life insurance policy, but by statute you are entitled to half his estate with certain exceptions.

You can challenge his change in life insurance beneficiaries. By law you are the beneficary of his 401K unless you get divorced.

You might consider getting an Ante-nuptual agreement made between the two of you. This is like a pre-nup but post marriage. It may or may not be used as the basis for a divorce agreement should the two of you not reconcile.

Answer

Yes, both parties are free to make changes to his or her will, life insurance, etc., with some important exceptions. If you are contemplating divorce and would like to consult with counsel, feel free to give our office a call.

You should understand that this will not change any bank or judgment liens, and the recording will require a lien sheet and payment of any open water bill or tax bill. It is more than just a document.

Question

I bought a house for my son to live in. A guy that was down on his luck asked to stay.. I did not know this. My son allowed him to stay. The guy punched my son in the face when my son asked for rent to be given to me and had my son scared so my son hid my existence from this bully. My son does not reside there now. This guy refuses to sign a lease. Refuses to pay utilities. Refuses to do anything but live there off of me. I sent certified mail for him to vacate in 10 days. He said he wanted a rent to own...I drew up a contract.. he doesn't like it. Won't sign. Won't pay. I want him out of my place... I have no agreement with him. He lies and says he can get people to say we had a verbal etc. For two months I have been telling him to go... he keeps coming up with some plan to lease or lease to buy. He wants ridiculous things done to the house. Now he says there are bugs and my responsibility. I just want him out of there. He is on probation and is a sex offender. I do not want to deal with him. I think he is a trespasser but the cops say he has squatters rights since my son knew he was there. But I own the house and my son is no longer there. I know I have to file a complaint with the District Justice but meanwhile I cannot pay the utilities he is running up. Do I have to keep the utilities on? This is in Pennsylvania. I never had a lease with him nor have I gotten a cent payment from him. I want to shut off the utilities but the cops say no. They say I cannot even go to my own house. I do not understand this. I want this guy out. I cannot afford the utilities on him. Will I be in trouble if the utilities get shut off?

Answer

with or without a lawyer get to the district justice and tell your story, pay the fees and let them do their jobs.

Answer

You have every right to get the person out of your house. There is no such thing as squatter's rights.

This is not a District Justice matter. You need to file an "ejectment action" in Common Pleas Court in the county where the property is. Don't try this yourself. It requires closely following the statute and procedure requirements.

Consult with a lawyer who is familiar with this kind of law and has experience in this litigation.

THIS RESPONSE IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE, SINCE I DO NOT HAVE ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED, AND I DO NOT HAVE A REPRESENTATION AGREEMENT WITH YOU.

* If the answers to your question confirm that you have a valid issue or worthwhile claim, your next step should almost always be to establish a dialog with a lawyer who can provide specific advice to you. Contact a lawyer in your county or township.

* Another reason for contacting a lawyer is that it is often impossible to give a good answer in the Internet Q&A format without having more information. The unique circumstances of your situation and things that you may not have thought to mention in your question may completely change the answer. If you want to be sure that you have a complete answer to your question and an understanding of what that answer means, establish a connection with a lawyer who practices in the area of your concern.

Answer

Both of the above lawyers give sound advice. Yes you could do this yourself or you could just hire a lawyer to get the wheels of justice working for you.

my brother was killed and the killer was charged with manslaughter. can my family appeal this decision.. happened in harris county texas

Question

my brother was killed and the killer was charged with manslaughter. can my family appeal this decision.. happened in harris county texas

Answer

There is no avenue by which you can appeal the decision on how to charge someone. You could talk with the prosecutor actually handling the case about why it is that the person was charged manslaughter and not a greater offense. The prosecutor might be able to explain the law and why a higher charge would not fit the facts. If you are not satisfied, you could ask the prosecutor about presenting to the grand jury in an effort to obtain an indictment for a higher crime. If you choose this avenue, you should probably hire a lawyer to help you put the packet together. Otherwise, it is the DA's office's decision on the charge.

(I have worked in Harris County 23 years. I find that they more often over charge cases, not under charge. My guess is that there is some nuance in the law as applied to the facts that you are not understanding. Hopefully you have a prosecutor who is patient and kind and can take the time to explain the situation to you.)

If you owe 6000 on a car and u pay 6000 in under a year will you avoid the apr?

If you owe 6000 on a car and u pay 6000 in under a year will you avoid the apr?
No, your interest rate usually starts from the date you sign the loan agreement and drive the car off the lot. Each month your payment consists of two parts: the principal and the amount of interest accrued for that month.

For example: your loan amount is 6,000.00
Interest rate is 6%
Amortized for 1 year
Your 1st installment is 507.53 (Principal 493.68 Interest 13.85)

Question

to respond to the attorney who answered asking if there was money: there was $650,000.00 in that trust account on May of this year that the half sister of the aunt took the money from which is where the 60K check was written off of, so there is money it is a matter of getting the Fidelity records and tracing the withdrawls back, Aunt Martha also owned a home and a checking account

Update we have sent the letter required to demand repayment of the NSF check on the Fidelity Trust account that the half sister cleaned out before the aunt death, the aunt had 650k in this trust in May 2011 wrote us a check for 60K to pay off our home she wrote this in the memo on the check as well, she wrote the check to us 7-16 she passed away 8-2 but we did not get notification it was NSF until 7-21 by then the aunt was in the hospital and on morphine so we are trying to make the heir make good on this check, we will file a report with police after the 15 days so they can send to State attorneys office but I really feel like we will end up in court with her and the paperwork we filled out stated if we go to court & win the case will be for 3 times the check amount so that is 180K ( we are not trying to get that we really just wanted what aunt Martha wanted us to have) we live in Lakeland Florida any lawyers close to me interested in this case, we have the NSF signed by aunt, we have another family member as a witness she wanted us to have a check for this

Answer

If she cleaned out the account, Fidelity Trust has no funds with which to pay you. You will have to go after her personally. If she has no funds left or spent off the assets you can obtain a judgment and fraud - perhaps jail time for the aunt but you still have no money. I suggest you hire a probate litigation attorney and hope that he can obtain the assets that are left before they are gone.
