Question

If my landlord lost our lease does that mean we are on a month-to-month agreement? We had a 6 month lease, the landlord took the lease with him to make copies but he said he lost the lease and wants us to re-sign. I now want to leave in 3 months. Could him losing the lease work to my advantage?

Answer

Wait. The landlord lost both HIS copy of the lease, and then asked you for YOUR copy and now says he lost that too?????? Both of you should have had a copy. If only one copy was made, YOU should have made it and given him a copy. Now see if he will be decent and give you the same lease you think you had. If he won't and you have NO other paperwork or evidence of the term of the lease....well....good luck.

Question

i just got out of prison last year and now i got another charge and it falls under the re offender act...its a 2nd degree so is it true its 15 yrs man

Answer

Yes, it is very possible. If the state decides to charge you as a prison releasee reoffender (PRR), then you face the maximum penalty and you get no gain time and must serve the full sentence. In this case, you are looking at 15 years mandatory. You need to get an attorney immediately if you haven't already. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Question

i work in a restaurant for free with only tips and the owner is treating me very bad like a slave and i cant work any more.is it possible to quit and sue him for working with out pay?

Answer

Absolutely yes!

Answer

You don't have to quit to do so, but you can if you want. You need to file a lawsuit based upon a claim with the Labor Commissioner. You were supposed to be paid a minimum wage plus tips. You are entitled to your unpaid wages, OT if any, interest, penalties, and attorney fees if you win at trial. Those penalties add up quickly to substantial money owed you. Please feel free to contact me for the legal help you'll need.

Answer

Your employer must pay at least $8.00 per hour. If you have not been receiving at least minimum wage, you can sue for the wages you have been deprived, plus waiting time penalties, plus attorneys' fees, plus overtime, if applicable. Gather your time records (make sure you keep them and all other pertinent records at home), calculate how much you were paid and how many hours you worked per day and call an employment law attorney. Many attorneys take cases like yours with no cost to you.

Is there a law for businesses to retain project files for closed projects for a number of years?Thanks

Question

Is there a law for businesses to retain project files for closed projects for a number of years?

Thanks

Answer

I am not sure, but I suspect there is not. However, it is wisest to keep those documents as if anyone should later threaten a lawsuit, you want to be able to show what your role was and was not. How long you need to keep the file depends upon what type of work you did .A new home builder can be sued for up to 10 years in some matters, so if you were a foundation subcontractor you probably should keep the records for at least 10 years, but a tax accountant probably is safe after 4 years, but what if the tax statement you prepared in 2001 effects a loss carryover taken in 2010. You can scan documents into a computer and download to a storage disc, but their value as evidence may be greatly compromised [often deemed inadmissible] as computers can be used to alter almost anything.
