Other Injuries: Snowboarding Teaching Accident

My question involves an injury that occurred in the state of: CO

If you are a snowboarding kiting teacher does creating an LLC protect you individually from liability in case of a nasty accident?

Does a waiver get you personally further away from liability?

If during the course of your teaching a bystander gets smacked in the face by a kite flow by a student and it causes all types of injuries can the teacher be held personally liable or can they injured party on go after the LLC?

thanks.

Does the U.S. Have a Good System for Medical Malpractice Cases

I'm assume some practicing medmal attorneys post on these forums.

I'm wondering if lawyers in the profession think the US has a good system of medmal. I understand this is the system we live with, but do you think it actually does a good job with compensating legitimate claims, deterring negligence and not wasting money (ie dealing efficiently with claims) compared with other countries?

Premises Liability: Injury at Dental Office

My question involves an injury that occurred in the state of: Pennsylvania

My father went for a dental visit and needed to use the rest room. He opened a door thinking it was a restroom, but it was the door to the basement. He took a step and fell down the flight of stairs but was able to grab the railing towards the bottom of it. He twisted his ankle and bruises throughout his arm, leg, and finger. He also chipped half of a nail on his thumb. There were no signs on the door and there was no light that was on. Injury doesn't seem serious but I think it may be too soon to tell. Is this something I should be reporting? If so, to who and what steps should I take to document this? Thanks in advance.

Driver's License Issues: California VC 14600(A) - I Received This Ticket, but I Just Moved to California

My question involves a driver's license ticket issued by the State of: California
I received this ticket one day when I was on my way to work. I have just moved up to California about a month ago for work. I DO NOT rent/own any property, nor is my mailing address in California. I have an Arizona Drivers License and I have property in Arizona. I was wondering what I should go about doing with this ticket? If I go to court, what to do? The CA VC 14600 (a) is very vague and it doesn't explain much. When should I have to change my license. I don't have a problem with getting a CA Drivers License but, I do not have my own property that I rent/own.

Thanks in advanced.

Traffic Lights, Signs and Controls: How Do I Fight for My Ticket for Failure to Obey Sign

I was driving on the highway on the 2nd to right lane. When all of a sudden I realized that both of the lanes were forcing you to exit. I didn't want to exit. So as soon as I saw this, I merged onto my left lane. I might have crossed a little bit of the white triangle that divides the exit from the highway, but it wasnt that bad. As I crossed there was a car behind me, and so I sped up so there weren't be any collision. After a while, a CHP officer pulls me over, telling me that I failed to obey the sign which said both of the lanes were to exit. I know I should've exit, but i was still safe and put no other cars in danger.

If you can help I would greatly appreciate it. Also this ticket was given to me in California.

Custody and Visitation Issues: One Parent Passed on Child's Custody

My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Maryland. This young woman has brain damage and has been declared incompetent. She resided with her biological mother and a stepfather. Her mother became ill and passed away today and the biological father who has never relinquished any parental rights, was with his daughter at the time when her mother passed. He went to the mother's home with his daughter to retrieve her things but the stepfather is now barring that and is threatening the father with jail if he attempts to return.

Business Disputes: Conflict of Interest

My question involves business law in the state of: Maryland

I own a business and worked with someone in the past. He hired me as a subcontractor to a major pharma company. I did alot of work for him and sent him reports on the work that was done since he said that it was needed to satisfy the company so he can get paid and so he can pay me. Then one day the owrk stopped coming in. I knew it didnt stop but i was not contacted anymore. well i was told that the guy i worked for spread rumors that I was using used and old parts and that he needed to take over the work. But his girlfriend and childs mother was the person in charge of bringing in contractors to do work. SO when the guy stopped calling me she used his company for the work and he basically did the work based off my reports that she supplied him.

People in the company said it was a conflict of interest and wanted her to stop but no one stopped her from doing this.

SO my question is,
1. can i sue and what all can i sue for
2. is there a stature of limitations for suing in conflict of interest cases

Deeds - Quitclaim: Is an Unsigned Quitclaim Deed Valid

My question involves real estate located in the State of: Texas
I have an original document from my grandfather of a Quiltclaim deed dated 1954 that he never signed and returned because his inheritance was stolen from him and he never cared to fight for it back. I have done extensive research and found that he inherited a fraction of a 160 acres of land and I believe another 80 acres in a different section that currently has mineral royalties and his other family members are still getting them to this day. I also found a document filed in 1979 that is an Affidavit of Heirship stating my grandfather as one of the heirs and listing him as deceased and not survived by other children. Of course that is false because I am here now! Is there anything I can do or should do because my grandfather is deceased, but I have found out that he was left with nothing and his other family members stole his inheritance and took it from him. I don't know how far back you can go with land laws, but I do know that his family members from his mother's side are still receiving royalties from this inheritance to this day. It makes me so mad to read about this and know how hard my grandfather worked after what happened to him with all of this mess.

I also have more documents that show that two different men came in his life and tried to take guardianship over him when he inherited this land. I've got copies of all these documents as well. They filed documents to change his name, etc. and his name was never legally changed until decades after all of this too. I have come across a bunch of fraud stuff that was going on during this time and if I can do something to get it back for the sake of our family I want to try since I've done so much research. We also have his grandfathers insurance policy signed, etc. from the 1940s that has never been claimed who left all of this stuff to him. What can we do with that?

Breaking a Lease: My Tenants Moved in 2 Days Ago. Now They Want to Leave

My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Maryland.

I own a condo and rented it out to a couple. The lease term is one year. They move in on Saturday. On Monday I receive an email saying their health is being jeopardized because the owner of the unit below smokes cigarettes. I called the Health department and they said there is nothing they can do about it, as it is not illegal to smoke in their own home (We are in MD)
My tenant talked to me today and said that this is detrimental to their health and they want to move out. There is nothing I can do about the behavior of the other people. What can I do?

This is what the lease actually says:

"Tenant(s) acknowledges that the Landlord does not promise or guarantee of a smoke-free living space."

Collection and Enforcement: What State's Laws Apply in an Interstate Levy

My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: New Jersey (collection) and North Carolina (home)

I'm going to end up in arrears for out of state child support. I'm disabled and can't work, and asked about getting order corrected in another thread, however until SSI determination is made that is unlikely. The Arrears is in New Jersey. I am in NC and bank at a bank that operates in NC and not NJ. In NC under a state law I can protect $5000 in assets which can be a bank account. I receive child support into a bank account and typically have a $10-800 balance I need to protect. Only source for medical co-pays and basic needs of the children I have custody of. I have no other assets. If levy is started in NJ is my account protected by NC law?

Medical Malpractice: Could an Emergency Room Be Held Liable

Service and Repair: Engine Failure Caused by Dealership - Mult. Issues, Should They Replace Vehicle

My question involves a consumer law issue in the State of: Colorado.

I purchased a new 2013 Ford Escape in July 2013 with 12 miles on it in the state of Minnesota. Since then, I have relocated to Colorado for work. The vehicle has always worked great, no major issues ever - oil changes done exactly on time by a Ford dealer in MN. Currently the vehicle has 46,xxx miles.

I got my oil changed at a Ford dealership in CO on 9/9/2015. On 10/21, the vehicle started acting unusual - engine was running harder than normal, started sounding "gritty" when it was started that day for work - but otherwise ran "fine", wasn't of much worry. The morning of 10/22 when the vehicle was started, it was extremely loud and "chuggy" as I drove to work, and the oil light came on, quickly followed by the engine light. I took it right to the dealership over my lunch break that very day and on the way there, the vehicle started chugging and acceleration was in and out. I barely made it to the dealership where I pulled up to the service doors, put the car in park and the vehicle "revved" up, made a bit of a grinding noise noise and then shut off and would not even turn over. A service guy came out, noticed a burning smell immediately and said something to the effect of "that is definitely not a good smell - at first brush, I'd say your engine is kaput, but we will diagnose it and let you know". I was set up in a rental car and sent on my way, where for the next 11 days I was displaced from my vehicle. In a non-comparable rental car to boot (I have an SUV for a reason, a small 4 door sedan is already very inconvenient - but I guess a car is a car).

Turns out, the oil filter in my vehicle was not replaced properly by this very same dealership (as told to me by the service representative) when it was serviced 9/9/2015, which caused the oil to leak out and the engine to eventually seize. Ford put a new engine in my vehicle at no cost to me because 1. the issue was allegedly caused by their technicians improperly installing the oil filter and 2. the vehicle is still covered under the 100k mile powertrain warranty.

One week later (11/7), I am driving up into the mountains and the engine light comes blinking on and the vehicle begins slowing down and I am forced to pull over 3 separate times on the way to the mountains to allow my vehicle to cool before continuing to drive. A 45 minute drive turns into a 2 hour commute (33 miles). I call Ford on the side of the road and they tell me to bring it in Monday (it is Saturday when this happens) and that there is nothing they can do until then. Their diagnosis is that when they dropped the new engine in, the battery was pulled out for an extended amount of time and the systems were not "re-synced" and that caused the engine light to erroneously come on - they said nothing else was wrong with it.

Two weeks later (11/28), I am driving up into the mountains again and the vehicle very suddenly rockets in temperature (within half a mile, the temp gauge went from normal to off the charts red) and immediately begins to power down and chug. I take the nearest exit and pull into a restaurant parking lot where the vehicle again is dinging and blinking warning lights at me about overheating and smoke is (almost comically) coming out from under the hood. Ford Roadside Assistance schedules a tow truck to haul my car 42 miles back down the mountain (7 miles outside of the Ford allotted tow mileage, which I have to pay out of pocket). I have yet to hear from Ford this morning regarding issue/diagnosis on 11/30.

I currently live in Denver but commute up to the mountains 2-4x a week, so not knowing how to properly drive through grade/altitude changes is not the issue. I moved to Denver in July and have been driving to the mountain that often since I moved here.

My question is: with the way these issues are happening and the severity of them and with the fair assumption that they were caused by improper work by Ford technicians, is it unreasonable that I request that ford replace my vehicle entirely with the same model, or help in placing me in a new vehicle? What are the dealers obligations to me as a consumer with damaged goods caused by their malpractice?

Retail Fraud / Shoplifting: I Get a Free Soda Every Time.so Am I Shoplifting

My question involves criminal law for the state of: Maryland

I am a regular customer at a grocery store, and the cashier usually fails to ring up my fountain soda. I bring up my 5 items she rings up 4 of them but doesn't ring up the drink. She says it's $X, I pay and walk away.

Would that be shoplifting?

Who's responsibility is it to get the pricing right. I am not concealing the drink, she just waves me on through. At first I thought I'm just getting a "free lunch" for being a loyal customer, but after reading a few threads I begin to wonder if this is an offense.

I've read plenty of posts that suggest that it is morally the right thing to do, but If I bring the cashier 50 items, none of which are concealed, and the cashier places them in my bags and rings up a price, where's the line drawn if a) it an item rang up at $0.00, or b) if an item did not ring up at all. What if I bring up the 50 items and ask for a single all inclusive price for all items, and they proceed to scan each item, miss one, and give me a price of X when it may have normally rang up as Y.

My question involves defamation in the state of: MA

Hello all,

I am being impersonated - most likely, by a vindictive neighbor who has already impersonated me under her own name(!) on a Google group I administer.

Somebody is now sending derogatory/harassing emails to her using a fake email address similar to mine in spelling. I view it highly likely that she is the one doing that, or has one of her cohorts do that.

I have reported this to the IC3 ( http://ift.tt/YaT464 ). What other steps would you recommend?

Thanks.

Following Too Closely: I Got in an Accident but Also Got a Ticket

My question involves a traffic accident in the state of: Washington

Recently, I was in my first car accident. I was driving through centralia on Black Friday. I could see there was some traffic coming from Tacoma. So everyone and myself were driving around 30-35 MPH. This part of the highway is terrible, only two lanes and narrow.

Anyways, I was driving behind a older car and then all of sudden the driver brakes and swerves to the left (onto the shoulder). There was already another car accident and orange cones on the shoulder. The driver was avoiding to hit the car in front of them by swerving out of the way. The driver obviously was not paying attention to the stopped traffic in front of him, which is why he had to swerve. I watched as he swerved and I was worried to hit the car in front of me, so by instinct I swerve to the right (into another lane but no cars were present). I think I remember counting about 5 seconds and a semi truck comes by and takes out my right tire and scratches up the whole right side of my car badly (luckily no windows were broken and nobody was injured). I don't know a lot about semis but I don't think he should have been going so fast in this type of traffic, but also, I wasn't sure how far behind he was from me.

And fast forward, my car was pulled out of the way by a tow truck. The police officer was already on the shoulder but taking care of another accident (he wasn't watching as my accident was happening) The semi truck pulls over, but the car in front of me left. The semi truck is fine, my car is looking bad. The driver of the semi tries to blame the whole accident on me. The first thing he said was "you can't change lanes over a solid white line".. And all im thinking is that this guy is trying to find any reason to blame me and I was not even trying to switch lanes!! Eventually, I called a tow, my insurance, and the officer takes down both me and the semis information.

The officer seemed like he was really trying to help us out. But before I left with the tow truck. he asks me how I could have avoided this. And all I'm thinking is.. "What... Is this a trick question?? Maybe I should just not be driving?? I don't know" and I told him that I didn't know, or maybe if the car in front of my were paying attention. Then he hands me a ticket for $187 and says its "regulation" or something like that. The ticket was for, "following too close" if I were following too close, I wouldn't have time to brake and swerve. I knew I wasn't following too close.
By then I was angry because I had a broken car and now a ticket. He was nicer than most officers though. He asked me if I had any other violations and he told me the options and that I could always go to court to fight it.

I honestly felt that he just had to blame someone. And it couldn't be the car in front of me because he left. He also mentioned that the car in front left because it wasn't his fault... Which I really don't understand. If the car in front of me payed attention and never swerved, this could have been avoided.

Lastly to mention, I think I had time to brake without hitting the car in front of me, and I don't know why but I had to swerve to the left.

I would like to go to court for this ticket. Any tips on what I should say or what i should prepare for? Also, who's fault was it?? I don't feel that I should blamed but this ticket makes me feel different.

Thank you in advance!

Will Contests: Legality of Video Wills in Arkansas

My question involves estate proceedings in the state of: Arkansas

My mother passed away with out a written will, this has led my Aunt from California to claim to have a video will stating she gets everything. She has never shown this supposed video will to anyone and swears its legal. From what I have researched video wills are not legally accepted in Arkansas. I am also under the belief that all wills in Arkansas must be in writing and validated by the court where the deceased resided. She's already come out and taken my moms car and jewelery.

Slander: Can I Sue Someone for Spreading Rumors About My Reputation

My question involves defamation in the state of: California

A women co-worker spread lies about me and another worker being attracted to each other. My bosses harassed me so bad, I had to quit. They do not allow any romantic involvement between employees at my place of employment. The male co-worker did make advances to me. I kept my professional boundaries and always told him NO.

Here is the catch. The women co-worker liked the male co-worker, which is fine with me. I don't have evidence but I know they were intimate with each other, after I refused him. The female co-worker was trying to get me in trouble from different angles of my job using other co-workers. But the one that hit home with my boss was the lies about us being attracted to each other. My boss is from Bulgaria and has some very strict authoritarian viewpoints on sexual activity. These bosses will not tell me why they are mad at me, probably afraid of a law suit. They harassed me until I could not take it anymore. The HR at this particular job is worthless or else I would have talked to them by now.

One of these bosses lives in my neighborhood and we have a mutual friend. This is an acquaintance of mine, who normally doesn't take her evening walks on my block. After this happened she started walking past my house and looking at me in a strange way. There are also other individuals at work who this myth was passed on to. My concerns are that this rumor is spreading around my professional and social communities.
If I can get evidence that proves her intentions and agenda were to get rid of me, so she could be with the male co-worker, would I be able to sue for defamation of character.

This has affected me emotionally and I have nightmares and panic attacks, just to mention a few psychological disturbances.
caveat: I am a happily married 60 year old women. The male co-worker is 24, almost the same age as my son. The Bulgarian boss would be suspicious of two flies, so it does not take much to get her going. She was having such fits my other boss couldn't take it and both of them harassed me.

Emancipation: The Process of Getting Emancipated or if I'm Even Eligible

My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Oklahoma

I am 17 years old, I've had a job for about 8 months now. I make about 400 a month plus tips. With my tips I make about 900 a month. I am hardly ever at my house. There is no food there, my parents are high every other night on I don't even know what, and we only have 1 working car who no one is aloud to touch except my mother's boyfriend. Who works 12-9 Mon-Fri.

I find myself unable to get a license, a bank account, or able to go get myself my Social Security Card which I desperately need because "they don't feel like doing it". (I need a guardian/parent with me) Mind this, I've been needing these things since I was 15 1/2. I was lucky enough to land my job without them needing my SSC.

I half bills with my boyfriend every month. He pays 250 and I pay 250 a month, his insurance, his phone bill, my phone bill, and some stuff we've decided to rent together because we had the extra money. We have a roommate who's 60, however she's very nice. My boyfriend is 24 and we've been together since I was 16.

I am not graduated from school however I will be soon due to the fact I'm in a VoTech and I'm finishing my high school classes online. I've talked to my parents about emancipation and they just do not want it, however I have heard it is possible to do it without their permission as well.

With all of these different things, could I qualify (and hopefully get approved) for emancipation in the state of Oklahoma?

My question involves a traffic accident in the State of: california

in shopping center parking lot. driver runs stop sign, crosses intersection, and forces my wife (no stop sign and had the right of way) to crash into her. she then flees and later returned and witnesses notified the police it was her.

no injuries, just damage to my wife's bumper and headlight.

her insurance now is trying not to pay for damages unless we go to their place and refusing to pay for a rental until wifes car is fixed. their place has very bad reviews. insurance company is Fred Loya with high complaints.

who do we take to court if at all? their insurance is absolutely difficult to work with. We would like to take it to a place close by that has good reviews and would like to have a rental until car gets fixed.

insurance company is sending a new adjuster out to our house tomorrow. What do I say and do? Never had this happen before.

Emancipation: Can an Orphan Become Emancipated

My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Tennessee.

At 17 and a half years, would an orphan by law be able to apply for and be granted emancipation?
General questions answered:
Am I self sufficient? Yes. I've had a job for over a year, have been promoted, and have a very good reputation in the work place. I'm honestly more capable of money management than my guardian, and I have had a checking and savings account already set up with my bank.
School? I've consistently been on the honor roll my entire life, and have been able to keep my grades well despite the varying situations I have been put into. I will be getting my diploma at the beginning of the second semester of senion year. College will soon ensue afterwards.
Where will I live? The majority of my savings account is going towards an apartment for rent, utilities, furnishings, etc. for at least the first three months. I've already become very independentand, responsible and can openly acknowledge any and all results to my actions.
Reason for applying to be emancipated? This is the tricky question. I feel as though I can better manage my own life, since I have been the past 14 years. I think I would be able to make better financial decisions with my money than how the guardian is currently handling it. Also, adjustment issues have been difficult on me and the family I'm currently with and the relationships are being strained, rather than strengthened, with my residency. My social caseworker informed me I'd have a high success rate given my "situation" if I were to apply for emancipation.
I'm here for a second, educated opinion. Thank you.

Breaking a Lease: Subtle Harassment by Landlord

My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Connecticut

On 11/1/15, my previous landlord (I lived in her basement) came to examine a lock. We previously got along well but she suddenly became passive-aggressive and made slight insults towards me. Later that day, I received an email that I needed to evict by 1/1/16. She then sent me four additional rambling emails about irrelevant topics (e.g. her childhood farm, how I can use salt to clean, her stay in Scotland). We were not acquaintances and I only knew her through renting from her so I felt slightly afraid of her bizarre behavior.

The next morning at 6 am, she stood in the garage outside my door and began loudly mocking me for a scenario where I made a clumsy mistake a couple weeks prior. She sounded aggressive. I have no evidence of this situation. That day, I took a half-day off of work as I was very upset and began to fear my safety. My boss offered to let me stay with her and my mom offered to help pay for a hotel. I was advised by many people to leave the situation quickly and quietly.

I thankfully found an apartment and moved out within a few days. In that period, she continued to send me bizarre emails although I thankfully did not have to interact with her face-to-face. She stated that I could not use her mailbox anymore (though I had been throughout the stay), she said she no longer had money for trash service so I , she claimed there was eboli in the water from her ex-husband (this seemed like a joke...but then said I should drink from bottled water only). I also received many more emails about her personal life. I responded sparingly to her 18 emails (I responded to 3). Any responses came back by calling me petty and "wasting her time" by making her read emails.

I moved out on 11/6/15 and sent her a one-month notice as according to the lease. I also sent keys with a receipt of delivery. She emailed me stating I am responsible for December's rent (I was planning on pro-rating it). I looked into it and I believe she is legally correct...does my notice on 11/6/15 not go into effect until 12/1/15 (the first of the month)? Then, she claims she will return my security deposit.

When I went to the post office to change my mailing address as she requested, a post office worker told me there have been at least 25 tenants at her residence, many of whom come to the post office with similar experiences. He told me he thinks it's a scam to take advantage of young people & then keep their security deposits.

I still don't think I have any sort of case and am not sure it would be worth my energy to try and retrieve my security deposit. What do you think? Do I have any evidence of harassment? Can I receive my security deposit and the month of rent from November? Should I find a way to pursue this further so she can't take advantage of future tenants?

Custody and Visitation Issues: Help

My question involves a child custody case from the State of: TN
My ex husband is in One state for work. He is suppose to get the kids the 26th of December. However we will be in A different state then our home state for Christmas Eve and Day (according to the parenting plan it is my holiday) and he wants me to drive back to that home state to give the kids to his wife so she can drive them to His location. Am I required to give her the kids? I offered to meet her a few hours away, however, she refuses to take that route and will only get the kids if I drive 8 hours away or return to our home state. That puts the kids 6 hours back to our house and another 12 to his state where he is working. Am I in contempt for spending Christmas in Georgia if he is physically in That state and unable to physically pick up the kids for his parenting time? I offered to meet in the middle so I don't have to drive all the way home cutting the holiday short.

Special Needs and Accommodation: Issues Caused by College Not Providing Accommodations

I just have a simple question: My college agreed to provide certain accommodations for my disability and then did not provide them properly, and because of that some problems occurred. I then got suspended for "being harmful to others" because of an angry comment about suicide that was caused by their treatment. I have promised to not make suicide comments but they still constantly refer to me as a threat.

I requested documents from them but it consisted of a lot of lies about me. They are wanting to cover up the incident and blame me for everything, is there anything I can do?
Are they responsible for the problems caused by them not providing the accommodations properly?

Resignation: Terminating Employment Contract Before Start Date

My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: NJ

I signed a employment contract with a at will employer "with whom I can end the relationship with or without cause and with or without notice" with the start date in one week. But due to some personal reasons I decided not join the employer.

Not the employer is threatening me that there could be financial responsibilities as I already signed the contract. And I must join this contract.
I want to know if these claim has any base as this is at-will contract

Also, I am on H1B and employer has already started my visa transfer process, I took the drug test and background check is done. So can they sue me or demand money from me?

Moving Out: About How Likely Am I to Win

My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Georgia

This is kind of a broad post, let me know if I should break it up into several narrower ones.
I've filed a lawsuit against my landlord in Magistrate Court for several issues, including:

1. A/C Unit Broke
2. $80 of security deposit withheld

I notified them on may 1st that the A/C was not working correctly verbally (when I paid my rent) on may 1st. It later broke completely, and I have a record of a repair order on the 7th.
I moved out on the 13th-15th ish. I signed a new lease to a new unit on the 13th, but it took several days to move my things over due to the heat.
Can I claim exemption from rent due for that period (it was over 85F inside)? Can I claim damages due to the inconvenience and excessive heat in Magistrate court? There is a provision in the contract waiving the right to a jury trial.

I was charged $80 for wall damage out of my $150 security deposit, but it wasn't specified exactly what for. There was some damage to the paint. I tried cleaning the walls with water and a paper towel, and this caused paint to peel off. I sent an email about that. There was also discoloration of paint where my bed touched the wall. I don't think I could have properly cleaned it because that might cause more paint peeling.
The only notice I received about this charge was posted to my account with them. I was not given a move out inspection form. It simply says something like "wall damage in bedroom A and B" on the ledger.
I never received information about the location of the security deposit for that lease. In my second lease, it appears buried in the contract. Both contracts differ slightly, although they display the same "version" on them. I was not given a move in form with a pre-existing list of damages. I was given a blank form and asked to fill in the form myself on move-in.
Can I likely recover the $80? $150, $240? $450?

I have a copy of the email I sent out. The former manager admitted it was a problem with poor paint, but they are not with the company anymore. I have copies of all leases. I don't have pictures of the paint anymore in the old unit. I have copies of a demand letter where management refused to refund the deposit or pay me for the A/C downtime. I have copies of all checks. I paid the $80 with a check endorsed "Without Prejudice otherwise null.". The contract claims to be able to deposit checks regardless of endorsements. Is that valid?

The tricky part is that I bid for a very small contract, and it was then cancelled. I was paid around $750 and I agreed to settle by refunding $400 just because I didn't want to go to arbitration. He wanted the entire amount back.

Questions:
(1) Is any money I paid back subtracted from my "self employment" income?
(2) Is anything I kept now "self employment" or another type of income?

Age of Majority: Getting a Drivers License Without Parental Consent

My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Arkansas
I'm 17 years old and will be 18 in May. I had a drivers license but my mom downgraded it to an ID because she"didn't want to be liable anymore." I have been unable to get a job due to not having any means of transportation. I was the only person in the house legally able to drive and now no one can. My mother has too many fines and tickets to even try to get a license and my brother has Autism and is unable to drive. I'm in college at National Park College and I am only able to get there on the bus which has very limiting hours and doesnt run after 6pm and doesnt run at all on Sundays. We ran out of money and food again this month and I would like to be able to combat that by having a job and bringing in some money like i did before my mother downgraded my license. I admit, i had ran away more than once previous to her deciding to downgrade my license, but only due to the fact that because of my brothers Autism, he is upset easily and becomes violent and i had been hurt by him multiple times and had become sick of it. I've told police and multiple people who said they could help me with that situation but since it's been brought so many times to people attention, the people have stopped believing me and have even said to my face that they believe im only crying wolf. Well i asure you i
m not. anyway, is there anyway i could get my license without my mother's signature? (my father is in prison so i cant get help from him either)

Compensation and Overtime: Massachusetts Holiday Labor Laws for Warehouses for Thanksgiving/Christmas Etc

Massachusetts Holiday Labor Laws for Warehouses for Thanksgiving/Christmas Etc

My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Massachusetts

I have a question and I'm not exactly sure what the correct answer is by Massachusetts laws.

I have worked in a warehouse for several year. A warehouse that distributes products to convenient stores and all kinds of retail shops across the northeast. We distribute Candy, Food products, Tobacco etc.

Order selectors work at night for orders to be delivered during the following day. Normal work schedule for us is Sunday-Thursday (Mine is Monday-Thursday) with have friday and saturdays off. What is the massachusetts laws regarding holidays such as Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. Can they absolutely require us to work or is it to be given as an option not a requirement. and are they required to pay premium pay at time and a half or regular pay? They company does some shady tactics and a lot of people just go along with it because they need the job and very few people actually try to report them to the state. They have made us work both Thanksgiving and Christmas day in past year including this past thanksgiving. Christmas hasn't been decided or posted about yet. We are constantly told by management for example regarding thanksgiving this year that we were require to be there that it isn't optional. Now I've done some research and have come across this:

Holiday Opening Laws for Manufacturing Establishments

Although manufacturers may lawfully operate on legal holidays (assuming permits are obtained when necessary), M.G.L. Chapter 149, §45 establishes that employees cannot be required to work on those days, but instead must be given the option to work or not. The law provides a limited exception when manufacturers can require work on holidays. If you have any concerns in this regard, please contact the AGO.

Unrestricted and Restricted Holidays for Manufacturing Facilities

Manufacturers may operate on certain holidays, without a permit, and on other restricted holidays must obtain a permit from the local police department.

Unrestricted Holidays

On unrestricted holidays, the operator of the facility does not need to obtain a permit, no premium pay is required, and voluntariness provisions do not apply. The unrestricted holidays are:

New Year's Day
Martin Luther King Day
President's Day
Evacuation Day
Patriots Day
Bunker Hill Day
Columbus Day after 12:00 noon
Veterans Day after 1:00 p.m.

Restricted Holidays

For restricted holidays, the operator of the manufacturing facility must obtain a permit in order to lawfully operate. There are limitations on when such a permit may be granted. Restricted holidays for manufacturing facilities are:

Memorial Day
Independence Day
Labor Day
Columbus Day before 12:00 noon
Veterans Day before 1:00 p.m.
Thanksgiving Day
Christmas Day"

So the link provided above states information regarding Retail stores and manufacturing facility. Now I just don't know whether a warehouse that has people selecting orders to be delivered to stores counts as a manufacturing facility or not and if not what are the laws regarding actual warehouses.

Also another tidbit to mention is that for example when it comes to Memorial Day & Labor Day as well being on a monday. They give employees sunday off as "holiday" for 2nd shift workers which is the order selectors and they force 2nd shift workers to actually work on the actual holiday on monday selecting orders that get delivered on tuesday. Meanwhile they give the first shift workers that stock the warehouse the actual holiday off but shaft the 2nd shift workers each and every holiday and make them work it and threaten us with disciplinary actions if we don't show up to work on the actual holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas. Is this legal in massachusetts? and like I mentioned above what is the law about what is to be paid for working a holiday in a warehouse? Are they required to pay premium pay (time and a half) for all restricted holidays: Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day or are they only required to pay require pay rate. It doesn't seem like it would be legal to force people to work legal holidays at regular pay and not premium pay.


Thanks for any help and insight you can provide me.

Police Conduct: Police Never Filed My Car Stolen Among Other Failures. I Need Opinions

My question involves police conduct in the State of:

Hello,
and thank you for reading. It's not often I'm on the innocent side of injustice (to begin with total honesty) and for the police to be the ones playing part to fueling an already unfathomable fire.
Anyways,
on my way to pick my wife up I stop to run in to the bathroom at a gas station. My keys must have fallen out of my pocket because after the 4 min trip, the car is gone. I knew it was the 2 young guys that stood by the corner and tried to holler at me as I rushed. Witness saw them take it but wouldn't hang around for cops. Camera right above my spot caught the whole thing in sure. I called 911 and my wife. Not only did my wife beat the cops there but we both waited 4 hours. The officer barely took any info or asked anything, and said we prolly have to Wait until the detective and owner collaberated after the weekend before cameras or statements would play part. As if our car wasn't already donezo..

Regardless, a week later we get a priority mail of second attempt saying the car was found/towed in Lawrenceville(hour from crime scene). $265 to get out, $165 to make car key since original was MIA. Point being, it was the counties police department that found the car on some random rd or lot THE DAY AFTER IT WAS STOLEN. Why did it not register stolen to them? If it was why weren't we called immediately? We ironically were stayin at a friends less than 5MIN FROM WHERE IT WAS FOUND!! SO wierx given we live elsewhere. Idk, alot of gas, lost work/interviews/money spent/etc...

SHOULD I SUE? DO I HAVE A CASE? ARE WE OWED COMPENSATION? ITA REALLY BEEN ROUGH MORE HAN CAN BE TYPED....THOUGHTS/ADVICE ARE VERY MUCH NEEDED AND APPRECIATED 🙏

Minors' Rights: Can My Mom Take My Car if Both of Our Names Are on the Title

My mom and I are not on very good terms, and she is threatening to take my car if I move out when I turn 17, which is in two months. Both of our names are on the title. I'm just trying to get things figured out now, so I can take the actions needed. My name is not listed on the insurance. However, I do pay for it. We both payed half for the car, but she is telling me she knows the laws and I am wrong. I have caught her lying to me about things like this before, so I came here hoping for some valid answers. If anyone has any information on this particular situation, it would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

Defamation: Ex Boss Threatens Defamation Suit-if I Do Nothing Can It Proceed if I'm Not Served

My question involves defamation in the state of: California

After being removed from the work schedule - fired - I started a website telling the story. After seven months I got bored and sent e mails with, admittedly, very inflammatory statements. I forgot to add, "In my opinion," or "it seems to me." The employer's law firm's attorney sent me a letter and e mail saying if I remove the site and sign an agreement to never say anything again they'll drop it. He gave me a deadline of Dec. 1 - three days from this writing.

HERE'S the problem - I don't give a shit. I'm unemployed, seriously ill, nearly homeless (I live in a friend's spare bedroom and nothing regarding me has that address on it) and I'm living on Social Security retirement benefits. I don't live in California any more and the letter was sent to a private p. o. box so they'll have a hell of a time finding me to serve me.

First: If they can't serve me, can they proceed? Is there a limit on how long they have to find me? My health is so bad that there's a chance I'll die before they can find me or soon after they do.
Second: Is there a statute of limitations on defamation?
Third: If I send apologies and restate everything as opinion, does that help?
Fourth:If they serve me and I do absolutely nothing... so what? Can they garnish my SS payment? The only property I own, besides clothes, is a truck with expired CA registration. Can they take that?
Fourth: My friend is paying for me to take a polygraph on Dec. 9 and I'm gonna post the results - double down. I know it's not proof - if it's true it's not defamation - but it mitigates, some. Should I BS the lawyer by asking for "a few weeks to consult counsel" so I can post polygraph before they file?
Fifth: I saw another post about researching handling it myself - absolutely NO $ for lawyer - where do I look to get that research?

They are scumbags and I want the world to know and if they can't jail me or take my SS then I don't care what they do. It would kill me to sign some agreement to keep quiet about the assholes. BUT, there is a SMALL/TINY chance I could be convinced to do that, maybe, but I don't think so, but only AFTER I post polygraph result...

Mental Health: Restoring Gun Rights After Involuntary Admittance to a Psychiatric Hospital

My question involves public health law in the State of: Georgia

Almost two years ago, I graduated in the top 5% percent of my state and ventured away from home to a very prestigious college where I was awarded a full academic scholarship.

After moving out of my parents house, moving into a dorm room, becoming overloaded with intense school work, and losing a girlfriend of nearly 5 years, I became pretty depressed, engaged in substance-abuse, and attempted suicide. Thankfully I was not successful, but I was involuntarily admitted to a psychiatric hospital where I was held involuntarily for 4 days until I was deemed to not be a threat to myself, and I was released back into the real world. After being released, I was medically withdrawn from school and saw a psychiatrist and a psychologist weekly for the next 6 months. To return to school, the psychologist had to fill out paperwork for the school recommending that I be allowed to return to ensure that I was ready and would be successful. It took about 2 months until the psychologist was 100% sure that I was ready, and I returned to school and continued to see a psychologist for the following four months.

Since then, I have been very successful both academically and socially. I have not been on any medication for a full year and have maintained my full scholarship at the college I attend as well as keeping a high GPA and not experiencing anything close to depression. When I think back about my attempt, I'm awe-struck that I would even consider suicide. I have also not engaged in any sort of substance-abuse since being released from the institution.

Recently, I tried to purchase a gun for hunting, and was denied due to being previously "admitted to a mental institution". I already own plenty of firearms that my father has bought for me over the years, and I will probably just go buy one from a private party once I find the exact gun I want for sale from a private party to avoid the background check so that I am able to purchase it. I have grown up shooting guns, cleaning guns, building guns, repairing guns, etc. I have taken firearm safety courses, hunting safety courses, and can probably tell you anything you want to know about guns. My family probably owns around 22-25 guns, 3 of which I have in my house off at school.

Firearm ownership is something that is very important to me; not only for hunting, but for personal protection now that I am living in my own house off at school. It is absurd that because I became depressed and thought that suicide was my only option, I am now unable to legally purchase a firearm from an FFL dealer. I understand that some people who have been admitted to a psychiatric institution should NOT own guns for their safety and the safety of others, but I have fully recovered from my depression and should have the right to purchase a firearm. I grew up with guns, have taken hunters safety courses, have taken NRA firearm courses, etc.

I am willing to put forward as much time and money as it takes to reinstate my right to purchase a firearm, and when I turn 21 (I am 20 right now) , I would like to get my weapons carry license so that I can legally carry a concealed handgun. I have no problem releasing medical records to the courts in order to restore my right to purchase a gun.

I held an internship with a very prestigious law firm this past summer and am confident that one of the lawyers I worked for would help me out, but they do not know about my history of depression. Due to the stigma associated with mental illness in today's world, I would prefer for them to not know that I suffered from depression. If I MUST hire a lawyer, I am still willing to do so, though I would prefer not to.


I have searched the web for a week now but still do not know where to begin to get my gun rights reinstated. Any help referring me to the right phone number, mailing address, or online web-page to get started in restoring my gun rights would be thoroughly appreciated.

Private Sales: Used Car Had Undisclosed Problems

My question involves a consumer law issue in the State of: California

Hello all! I am hoping to receive some advice on a situation. My friend owned a 2010 Honda Civic that he traded with another private seller for his 2003 BMW M3. In the seller's ad for the BMW, he described the car as being such:

"2003 BMW salvage title the reason is vandalism I am asking 7700 obo the car runs perfect ...(contact info hidden). Millage 114000 maybe trade plus cash"

He has two ads so in the other ad he states:

"This is an amazing M3 BMW. It is a salvaged title because it was vandalized. However, it runs amazing and sounds incredible. It has 113,000. A true sports car you can't miss out on. I will take 8,700 or best offer.

Needless to say, a day after my friend got it, it stopped working. After taking it to multiple mechanics, it turns out that the car has about $4000 in repairs and is not in perfect condition. The hydraulics need to be changed out to get the car to work. My friend contacted the seller to get his Honda back and the seller just apologized for all the problems he was having and said that he already sold the Honda (initially, before the trade, he had told my friend that he was trading the BMW because his wife needed a family car; next thing I find out, he's already sold it, less than 24 hours later!)

Is there any legal recourse that can be taken in this situation?

Thank you!

Open Container Laws: Open Intoxication Charge Sent to a Prosecutor

i was pulled for switching lanes too fast. Upon approaching my car the officer seen an open bottle, I did the sobriety test and passed and then did the breathalyzer which I also passed. The officer then said that he was cutting me a break and wasn't giving me a ticket but was sending it to the prosecutor and its up to them if they charge me and it'll be a few months if I hear anything. I was wondering if this is a scare tactic or is this possible that I could receive a ticket in the mail for open intox? Any help is appreciated thanks!

Traffic School: How Often Are You Eligible for Traffic School

CALIFORNIA

I got a VC 22450 (A ) ticket today. failure to stop at a stop sign.

my last ticket was on May 24, 2014. That was a red light ticket.

Am i eligible for traffic school ?

I elected for traffic school with the may 2014 ticket. The due date was Nov 5 2015.

My graduation date was Oct 26 2014

It was sent on Oct 27 2014

when i renewed my insurance around April 15 2015 I noticed i still had the point on my record.
I contacted the traffic school and they said i had to 'go to the court ' . At that time, they did absolutely nothing on my behalf, when i had told them the court still showed the point on my record. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!!

I have light Aspergers, and don't enjoy these environments, so i never went ( i had given $60 to the court to have the traffic school option $40 to the school and then pay about $60 more per year ..which will be for 2 more years for this point ..and spent an entire evening on this online traffic school's website completely their entire online course )

Then something about a month ago, caused me to call the traffic school again. I'm trying to remember what it was.
And i was a little upset. She said that she would re-submit the information to the court. I asked her to also mail it to me, so that i could take it to the court too. She said it doesn't work that way, and that she could not do that. ..but she said she could email me something. The email was not the certificate, as i later saw.

So i hope the online traffic school actually re-sent that proof that i did, in fact, successfully complete their course !

Question 1 - What are the actual proper steps to take if i've completed an approved online course but yet the court still shows the point ? ( In San Bernardino County California )

Question 2 - I'm assuming that if i'm eligible for traffic school for the Nov 28 2015 violation, that the court will give me the option in the information i wil receive in the mail, correct?

Transferring Title: Selling a Vehicle That Won't Pass a Smog Test

My question involves vehicle registration or title in the state of: California

I had been unsuccessfully trying to SMOG and register my vehicle for several months (tags were very expired at this point). I had recently given up trying to repair it, and was planning on buying a new car and parking the old car in a driveway until I could figure out how to donate or scrap it.

In a random parking lot, I was approached by some off-dudy mechanics who first offered to repair some body damage. I declined, and then they offered to buy the car. I was forthcoming about the registration status, the SMOG status, and all the other issues the car had. They were still interested, so on some binder paper, we drew up an informal Bill of Sale, agreeing that he would buy the car AS-IS.

At the time, I believed AS-IS would be sufficient (I believe it is in many states, but perhaps not California). However, I've been reading that it is the seller's responsibility to provide a passed SMOG before the title can be changed. Since that did not happen, I believe California will not legally respect the sale and I am still legally/financialy liable for that vehicle. I think that means, if he gets a ticket for driving without registration (or anything) I could be held financially responsible for that citation. (Could someone confirm or clarify those beliefs?)

I also suspect he will have a rather hard time getting the car registered in his name. I verbally mentioned this before the sale, they were not deterred, but there is no written evidence that I informed them of this.

I just want to be done with this car. It is absolutely not worth going to small claims court over this.

I'm considering:

1. Contacting the buyer, offer to refund the purchase price, and then donate/scrap the car.
2. Getting a typed statement signed and notarized, stating that the buyer assumes all financial and legal responsibilities for the vehicle, explicitly mentioning that the buyer wishes to take responsibility for SMOG/registration and otherwise making the car legal to drive in California.
3. If the buyer does not accept those options, I should report the car is stolen. (California does not recognize the sale as legal, I do not have the car or know where the car is). Seems douchy, but it may be in my best interests to do so.

Would any kind of notarized statement (2) be sufficient to release me form responsibility, or should I only offer to refund (1) or threaten to report as stolen (3)?

Is there anything else I should consider?

I probably should have declined the sale, but I was pressured buy the buyers (they "needed" a car, there was talk about children and thanksgiving, holiday cheer, etc), I had already decided I needed to git rid of the car, and I thought "some money would be better than no money." Alas.

Support Arrears: Statute of Limitations

My question involves child support in the State of: Texas
In the early 90's non custodial and custodial parent made an agreement to lower child support ( not through the courts) because non custodial parent lost his job and also had 2 other children with another wife and the support was never modified because of the new children anyway. Non custodial parent always paid the agreed amount every week.

In 1998 non custodial parent moved to a diff state. Custodial parent filed non payment of child support hoping non custodial parent would not go back to Texas to fight it. He did.

Non custodial parent had many cancelled checks and withdrawals on bank statements and even some receipts form her that she received payments for these amounts every week proving that he was paying the agreed child support and for swimming and ballet lessons and such.

Custodial parent lied and said that he never paid since the day he lost his job and when the proof was shown to the AG the custodial parent was told that she could keep lying or fill out an affidavit saying that he did pay and fill it out every week she was paid. The affidavit was filled out as much as she dared and then they went before the judge. She said he didn't pay her anything for 8 years.

The judge was not too happy at the lies she was telling but still had to file a judgement because they modified the order without going through the courts.
Before this even went to court they intercepted a tax return for over $4000 and held on to it for months. The judge said the judgement would be for the difference of 2 amounts which was $30,000. Then she crossed out where any arrears would be paid back and initialed it and told the custodial parent that if she wanted any part of the judgement to get it herself. The judge also did not know that they stole the $4000 with due process and never reduced the amount of the judgement.

Flash forward - non custodial parent has been receiving bills every month for about 5 years stating that he needs to pay 0.00 and shows a balance that grows every month.

Just this month he received a delinquency letter stating that he is $0.00 delinquent and has a balance of over $140,000 of which $90,000 is owed to the state of Texas for interest and $50,000 goes to non custodial parent.
They are stating that if he does not pay the delinquent amount ( which is $0.00 ) by Nov 30 they will start garnishing his wages and or take his drivers license or put him in jail.

It has been over 10 years since child support has ended. Both kids are almost 30 now and they have never taken him back to court to modify the last judgement which says to not pay any arrears. Is there any statute of limitations on this???
It is a delinquency letter that states $0.00 delinquent....does not make any sense to me.

Any replies would be greatly appreciated.

Probation and Parole: Petty Theft on Dv Informal Probabtion

My question involves criminal law for the state of: California

I was accused of petty theft recently and I want to know what I'm looking at while on an informal probation for domestic violence. I'm literally taking classes and getting ready to get back with my family and get back in school so this is really bothering me. I wasn't attempting to steal but no one would listen to me, I was missing a $20 and was going to go get it but stupid me pushed the shopping cart passed the first doors of the stores, not the second one that leads outside but the ones before you enter the store. I was going to push it to the side and head to my car and check along the way for the missing $20. Literally I was getting milk and diapers for my kids, total of $34. When I told the security officer he just told me to tell the officer, so I did and he just told me to tell the judge. I gave up at that point and let him write me a ticket.

I do realize that I shouldn't have passed the first set of doors but honestly wasn't thinking, I was stressed over the money that was missing because it was given to me but after the whole ordeal I realized even though I had no intention to steal anything someone else could have easily taken my cart and ran so I do feel awful.

Division of Assets: Separating Finances Before Divorce is Final

My question involves a marriage in the state of:

My wife and I of 3 years are going through a divorce. We were going down this path same time last year, but gave it one last try. At the time, we agreed to split everything down the middle. This go around, since I'm the one initiating it - she has changed her mind & wants to make this a big fight. My question revolves around splitting of our bank accounts.

We both have very stable jobs - our combined income is just under $150K annually. It's about a 56/44 split, with me earning more. We have two joint bank accounts - the primary account has my paycheck (100%) going in to it, while she is only putting in about 2/3 of her paycheck in there. The rest goes in a separate account that only she is on. I understand that at the end of the day, all the accounts we have will be looking at and divided appropriately.

Until the agreement is finalized, I'm worried about our joint funds. She could easily wipe the account out & screw me. There's two parts of my question:

1. Can I effective immediately deposit my entire paycheck in to a checking account solely under my name?
2. Can I divide the current funds in our account in half and transfer to the same account as #1?

We would then split bills evenly until a settlement has been reached.

I want to protect myself, but I'm just not sure if I'm allowed to do this legally.

Thanks in advance.

Speeding Tickets: Double Pull Over on the Interstate

I was pulled over in Maine,
I was in the passing lane to go by a truck going slightly slower than the speed limit. I was being followed by some woman in a vehicle going excessively fast. She flew up behind me and because I go exactly the speed limit it was taking quite a while to overtake the truck. I pulled off in front of the truck in order to let her go by and she accelerated again to continue on down the highway. We passed the officer and she hit her brakes and pulled off into the traveling lane. As he pulled her over he indicated I should go over as well.

When he approached my vehicle he asked me if I had a radar detection device because “you were already slowing down just as I turned on my radar”. This shocked me because I have never had any sort of device capable of alerting me to a police officer, and was even more surprised when he asserted I was going 90 miles per hour. He mentioned that the girl was visibly going faster than I was so it was very jarring to hear I would be receiving a ticket when he verbally agreed I was not only going slower but had been slowing down since he turned on his radar.

Other things to mention are that my vehicle is a standard, and as an older model reaches 4k RPMs when traveling at 70 miles per hour. I would never exceed this amount not only because it would be illegal, but also because going over this limit has the potential to damage my car.
After reading up about police radar it became abundantly clear that the radius of their tracker gets less and less accurate with range, and since I was driving the smallest car in the group of 3 I would be least likely to have my speed taken by the equipment.
I wrote all of the details down immediately after receiving the ticket, but did not ask for any other information or take pictures of where we were because I was completely unprepared to get ticketed as I always travel the speed limit.

How should I approach my court date? Is there anything worth attempting to receive as evidence to prepare? Any advice whatsoever would be appreciated, as well as requests for more of the information about the encounter.

Sales Agreements: Not Internet or Typo but Sticker Tag Inside the Vehicle-Should It Be Honored

My question involves a consumer law issue in the State of: Texas

Texas being rather strict on bait and switch should make dealerships vigilant about pricing practices. My basic question is common, but the circumstances surrounding it are rather unique. The base question is - Should a dealership be required to honor an advertised price? In most cases (like an internet, newspaper or magazine print error) even I agree the answer should be and typically is no. In cases where the price is so far below what the ACTUAL price is ie. $999 vs $9.99 again, it's an obvious error and a consumer should not expect it to be honored.

My situation involves Black Friday and a visit to a dealership on terms unrelated to Black Friday or a new vehicle. My reason for being there was a vehicle brought in for service. The estimated service price was so inflated that my wife suggested looking at something new and using that money as downpayment. She then exited the service area, went out on the lot and began looking at new vehicles. When she came back in excited that she found a really good price on one, I went out to see for myself. All the vehicles including the one with the price she liked were locked and had two stickers on the window side by side - one with the standard equipment and original sticker price, and a second sticker with the price you would pay. While every car around it had the second sticker price HIGHER in common, the one she found had a LOWER price on the second sticker. While the price was lower, given the time of year there's no reason to believe it was an error due to timing (Black Friday) and the salesperson constantly stating how crazy the deals had been lately on the 2015 makes of this model. One in particular he exclaimed was sold recently over $6000 off sticker. When we inquired about this particular one at first, I provided him the stock number only and asked what was the deal for this one. He went out to it for info came back and said - Oh they really wanna get rid of this one! After that response I told him the price posted in the car AND went back outside with him to verify it. After seeing it for himself we told him we wanted to move forward with the transaction on this vehicle. He came back with a starting price even higher than the original sticker! I pointed out the price error at which point he said that it was probably a mistake. My response was - not my problem.

We requested the manager come out to see the issue. He hurriedly unlocked the car, removed the sticker - balled it up and said he wouldn't honor the price because the mistake was obvious. I disagreed with that assumption as dealerships routinely run advertisements boasting 5-10k off sticker. He retreated to his office where I followed and asked what he planned to do about this? He beckoned me in to show me the internet prices...but I responded this has nothing to do with internet-we did not come here because of an internet ad, we didn't even come here with the intention of buying a new car. My wife went outside just to look at the prices, found this one but you refuse to honor it....That's illegal. He replied no it's not. I said I think the courts would disagree. He replied - Ok, get out...you said courts...get out of here, we have nothing further to talk about!

Side note: There is video proof of all of it.

Probation and Parole: Is There a Statute of Limitations for Probation Violations

My question involves criminal law for the state of: Texas.

My friend was convicted and sentenced on drug charges (felonies) in 2003. His punishment was deferred and then he got arrested on domestic violence charges fabricated by his ex and these charges were dismissed. He was supposed to go to prison, I guess, on the drug charges, for 8 years. I've checked the warrant and background sites, but don't see any active warrants on him. He ran in 2004. How do I check if he is actually wanted or if he is covered by the deferment? We are so confused as to his status. Thank you for any direction/advice you may provide.

Public Records: Foia Rules, Can These Records Be Closed Il

This is for IL,
I was told by City Council that all records prior to 1990 are closed as the council voted them closed in 1990. Therefore, a FOIA request will only get me open council minutes. I realize that votes after the closed session "should" show up in open session.
Question: Is what they did legal?
2. If we go into litigation with this body - could a lawyer request the closed records through the courts. It would stand to reason that if the government agency had closed session minutes that supported their claim of ownership of our building they would produce them. It would stand to reason that they would not show us close session minutes that support our claim of ownership unless required to.

Retail Fraud / Shoplifting: Got Stopped at Walmart- Confused About What Will Happen Next

My question involves criminal law for the state of: Florida.
I was caught at a Walmart where I didn't pay for all of my items at self check out. They brought me into the LP office and the police officer was there. They ended up going through everything in the cart, comparing it to my receipt and added everything up to maybe a little over $100. I was put in cuffs and then escort to the cop car where he had me sit in the back and he input all of my information while asking about my job and other things like that. He then called a female officer to search me and had me get out of the car and lean against it while she searched me. I had nothing on me. He then took my cell phone from my pocket. Then I was brought back inside and had to sign a paper saying I wouldn't step foot into any Walmart/sam's club for a year. The cop also searched my entire purse (there was nothing). I also was told by the cop not to return to this Walmart. The Walmart employee then told me to leave without really saying anything else.the cop escorted me out and had me sign a notice to appear in court. This is my first offense, I've gotten a speeding ticket once but pis it off and did traffic schools I'm 20. What can I expect from here? I have a court date in about 3 weeks and that's it. I have no idea what will happen.

Reckless Driving: Reckless Driving Speeding in Va

One night I was helping my friend to drive the car he just bought from Maryland back to Blacksburg. It is my first time driving an auto trans car, first time driving over midnight and first time trying out cruise control.

I'm a new driver with good record. I set cruise control to about 70 or 75. That night was dark and quite with almost no car on the road. I keep my eyes on the road and drive while chatting with my friend. Until I was pull over and told that I have exceed speed 89/70mph. This is detected by speed radar

I'm a college student. I have no idea what happened and I can't get a reckless driving on my record. This was happened on 11/28/2015 1pm.

In the conversation between me and the police, I mention something about cruise control, since this is the first time i'm using it. The police ask what did I set, I said I set it to about 70. I don't know is this bad for me. The first thing I came up about speeding is my first cruise control try, since I have a good record so far.My friend's new car is using Maryland temporary tag from dealership.


I'm summoned to appear in the county of Rockbridge.
Can I have some idea about what should I do?
Thanks

Execution of Deed: Buying a Home That Has a Life Estate

My question involves real estate located in the State of: New Jersey

Ok so I am trying to buy a home from a seller that is the remainder of a Life estate. (he is not family but just a the one who she sold it to originally )The Life tenant is still alive she is 95 living in a care facility. The seller went to the nursing home to have the women sign the deed with him to sell the property to me. The doctors there stopped him and said that she is not aloud to sign anything and that she is deemed incompetent. So now the bank that im getting my mortgage from says that i cant buy a house with a life estate because the title company wont transfer it unless both sign. So what do i do? if the life tenant cant sign or make decisions for herself then what? she does not live in the home and it has been empty for awhile. is my only option really that, it has to wait for her to die?

Boundary Agreements: Boundary Agreement Instead of Moving Fence

My question involves real estate located in the State of: CA
We've had issues with our neighbor for the past 6 months and are close to resolving it. We have a fence that runs 125 ft between our house and the neighbors. After having the property surveyed, it was brought to our attention that the neighbor owes us 2.8 ft. The first 55 feet of the fence is wood and the neighbor has finally agreed to move their items off our property so that we can replace the wood fence. The remaining 70 feet is chain link and will require them to move a greenhouse (a free standing/shed like structure), some planter boxes, and some landscaping.
The neighbor originally offered to draw up a boundary agreement and to pay a small sum of money to us as a one time offering for letting them use the land. We declined this offer because the area with the wood fence is space we could utilize for some future home remodeling we have in mind.

I was thinking of seeing if they were interested in doing a boundary agreement for the 70 feet of space next to the chain link fence since this space is used more by them. I don't mind moving the chain link fence to line up with the new placement of the wood fence but was trying to save them time and money of moving their items in this area. When I brought this up in passing, they didn't seem interested but also keep asking us if we plan to move the chain link fence and how disappointed they would be to lose their greenhouse and matured landscaping. I assume it's better to put an agreement in place instead of doing nothing because without it, can't they claim adverse possession after a certain amount of time? Thoughts?

Retail Fraud / Shoplifting: Target- Nephew Changed Barcodes on Item, Left Store W/O Item. Will They Go After Him

My question involves criminal law for the state of: Connecticut


So my nephew was in Target and he tried to buy something after changing the barcode sticker on the item. He put a cheaper barcode sticker on a more expensive item and tried to pass it off. The clerk thought it was suspicious, they didn't think it was him, but they handed the items to security to look at the cameras later on. My nephew paid for the rest of his items (legit) and left. When they see him on camera, can they do anything to him? He didn't leave the store with the items and he wasn't accused or held. He has a clean record and is a good kid, but had a lapse of judgement. Any advice would be great, thanks.

Speeding Tickets: 92mph in a 70mph Zone

My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: NC

Hello.

I was coming from somewhere, and while switching lanes, a patrol officer stopped, and clocked me in at doing 92mph in a 70 mph zone.

This is my first offense-meaning I have a clean driving record. I honestly do not recall doing that speed limit, the most I can visibly remember doing was 78mph. I did not think to ask the officer
how he came to that determination, nor did he present any evidence to back up that determination. Reading websites on the net about the issue presented a bunch of questions I should have thought to ask, but didn't. he just give me the citation and said " you were doing 92 in a 70, unfortunately I'm gonna have to give you a ticket, but since you were cordial and polite, just take this in to court and see what they can do" what ever that means??

Anyway, Since I cant do a prayer for judgment, what are my options? My court date is in January, but I would rather get this over with now if I can. The thought of getting my license suspended is in the back of my mind and if this happens, I'm pretty much jobless, since my job is 35 minutes away, and on bus, would take 3.5 hours to get there + a 2 mile walk... and homelessness would follow if I did not work of course.

What are my options as far as keeping my license and this conviction off my record?

Thanks

Interstate Issues: Relocated Due to Dv Issues

My question involves a child custody case from the State of: texas

I relocated from Ohio to Texas with my 4 children. I haven't had contact with my youngest father by order of the county courts and cps since December of 2014. Our daughter is 9 months paternity was just established. I chose to opt in even though there was a waiver granted through our county enforcement agency due to dv issues. We have lived in Texas for 4 months. My questions are where would be the state of jurisdiction. How would visitation go. (I haven't discussed anything with the father from fear of removal of my children). I've tried to use a third party for communication, but he refuses says if I don't call him what will happen. I've made an email address just for communication, but he refuses that also. I believe every child deserves a relationship with both parents but I'm not willing to put my family at risk as cps was involved due to DV issues. What are my options. He still believes I reside in oh even though he was told I relocated. We have an upcoming hearing for child support which will be a tele-hearing. The CSEA is well aware of the DV and all my info is unlisted. Thanks for any input.

Relocation: CPS Case Gave Me Full Physical but Shared Legal Custody

My question involves a child custody case from the State of: California

My ex wife and I have a daughter and my ex wife has a daughter from another marriage. My ex wife and I divorced a few years ago and after the divorce CPS took both girls away from her due to neglect. The court granted me full physical custody and shared legal custody with reasonable SUPERVISED visits. That's all it states is "reasonable supervised visits".

My ex wife visited our daughter weekly, while her other daughter (from another father)was in foster care. My ex wife eventually did all the necessary steps it took to regain custody of her other daughter. However, the courts never gave her rights back (shared physical custody) to my ex-wife. In fact they just left it alone. So she has her daughter from a previous relationship and I have full physical custody of our daughter with shared legal custody.

As soon as my ex-wife gained full custody of her other daughter she stopped visiting my daughter and stopped calling. She only lives an hour away and hasn't seen her for 6 months. Her paychecks are garnished for child support, and she calls for 5 minutes every 2 months or so. She's mainly a holiday mom.

Anyways fast forward and I'm married again and my new wife and I would like to relocate to Utah for various reasons that would be very beneficial for our family. I am not sure what to do though. Can I take her out of state b/c I have full physical custody and b/c she still is only allowed reasonable supervised visits? She can't even have her for summer or Christmas or anything like that b/c they have to be supervised visits and she's kind of showed us that she's not interested in seeing her that often. So what's reasonable and can I move out of state??

My ex wife is very cunning and I need to have a game plan ready b/c I feel she will try to regain power of my daughter and she is a terrible influence and already got her taken away CPS style. What can I legally do if that's all my documents say?????? Please help. Someone.
