    Management's company inappropriate charges

    You need to appreciate how the purchase of subdivided units of a jointly owned property work. In both condos and co-ops there is a "unit" which is in charge of the commonality. For example, if you're a co-op shareholder, the corporation owns the common areas and set house rules for the...

    I commissioned someone for a project, a 6 week project that’s now 4 months and counting. Help.

    Perhaps you've had this discussion but I don't see any final attempt to get a definitive esimated delivery date. He mentioned specifically 4-6 weeks and you can show him the message. Gently ask what is the hold up and try to get him to give you a conservative date. It shouldn't take longer...

    Impound fee refund

    Sorry to hear about what happened. You can also tell them that you will go to small claims court and file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and state attorney general. Unfortunately I've seen a number of such places defiant, considering that there are more cases to prosecute...

    SSN was stolen, I have no ID

    Yes, that's true. At this point I've been thinking Real ID only given how New York City has been aggressively marketing them - I live within reasonably close proximity to 3 airports!

    shared cesspool

    Consider also that there may be an easement by prescription through open and notorious usage over time. In New York State, adverse possession is covered in Article 5 of the Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law and it requires 10 years possession. Considering that you just discovered a...

    Midas failed to properly repair my car

    I think this thread is a good example for two issues: 1) "Freedom of Speech" relates to governmental action trying to curtail speech that is within the definition of "protected speech" but not private entities - such as Twitter. Since you mention Twitter, it permanently suspended former...

    Mother-In-Law being abused?!

    I wonder whether we are missing part of the story. My understanding of a medical proxy or health care proxy relates to making medical decisions, not whether a child can visit or speak to his/her parent who is in a nursing home. The below health care proxy document is produced by the the New...

    My aunt is exploiting my grandmother

    I respectfully disagree in this respect, especially since conveyance appears not only to take place under suspicious circumstances but after a diagnosis of Alzheimer's. In the case I described above, we were ultimately successful arguning that what took place several years prior constituted a...

    SSN was stolen, I have no ID

    Here are the requirements in Illinois: Real ID FAQ What you need and what is available also depends on the state. For example, certain states don't even require you to be a legal citizen, such as New York which in 2019 provided illegal / undocumented immigrants with the ability to obtain a...

    My aunt is exploiting my grandmother

    Having a medical diagnosis for Alzheimer's that predates a legal document or instrument is very important but, as you can see, action sooner rather than later can make for a much less expensive dispute resolution process. The information above seems prudent, especially in light of an estate...

    Transcript Approvals

    Thanks for the citation and the explanations. Quite frankly, I'm not quite sure I understand where our original poster is at this point. If there are inconsistencies with the transcripts and the judge used one of them, why not contact the clerk to see if you can obtain more information as to...

    Eviction Defense Friend forced to move

    You asked about helping provide evidence and witness testimony. If you can provide this or help the defendant / tenant provide this then that is permissible. What you're obviously not going to be allowed to do is to make legal arguments on your friend's behalf and act as her lawyer. And from...

    Copyright "Publisher" is selling my book without my knowledge...What are my options?

    Maybe they do. From what I can see from the publisher you mentioned, they appear to be a group that takes books beyond just the writing stage, which many authors prefer not to handle. There is absolutely nothing wrong with or illegitimate about a party who takes the product the rest of the step...

    Copyright "Publisher" is selling my book without my knowledge...What are my options?

    I get requests all the time from marketers who often get information from a sold list which may have been harvested from a place where your publication appears. The most important question is what do they really want? You need to determine who these people represent, what they are actually...

    User agreements

    There are definitely agreements that unfortunately no one reads. It's not always the consumers fault since they are so unweildy but be rest assured they are almost certainly there. tl:dr = If the company isn't providing you with a refund per a complaint that I haven't heard about then there...
