Have you ever actually talked to the carriers that handle your route about the problem? It seems to me you are talking to everyone but the people actually delivering the mail and who are responsible for which apartment box the mail goes in. For example, in my building I often get the mail of the...

The problem is that once it filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy the bankruptcy code determines the priority of payment. A Chapter 7 bankruptcy for a business is basically just an organized sale of assets to pay creditors in the priority set out in the bankruptcy code. You would have had to file a proof...

It's amazing to me how many people think that running a business is easy and that they and just about anyone else are capable of doing it. Starting up your own business involves a lot of work (a lot more than a 40 work week at a desk job), considerable risk since there is no guarantee the...

Correct, that's the list of crimes that have no statute of limitations (SOL) in Colorado. But unless the DA can link Kessinger as a party to the murder itself, any other crime she'd be charged with out of this incident would have a SOL, perhaps as short as three years, assuming a felony charge...

The longest period for a Chapter 13 plan is 60 months. But if you can pay off the entire debt before that, the court may enter an order for a shorter plan. If you can pay all your debts in less than three years you might be able to negotiate payment arrangements with each of your creditors that...

I think the OP is considering the "case" as including both of them. And in the investigation phase, the police case would be about seeking out evidence and building a case against everyone thought to be involved. But when it goes to the DA and the court, there is a separate case against each...

The civil claim would be for wrongful death. Under Colorado law, in the first year after the death, only the spouse of the victim may sue for wrongful death. If there is no spouse, then the children of the deceased may file the action in that first year instead. After the first year, who may sue...

Of course it's the job of the courts to ensure that agencies follow the laws set for them by Congress. That's never been in dispute. I don't know how closely every federal agency follows the APA, but at the IRS we had a separate review process to make sure the APA requirements were met. It was...

The real win here isn't really providing money to Amazon customers for past purchases, especially since the damages would vary from one buyer to another and would be speculative, but rather forcing Amazon to change its practices of recommending the deal that makes it the most money to something...

The Chevron standard is, and always has been, a decision that only applied to the deference give to interpretations of federal law by federal agencies. The states are not bound by that decision in how their own state agency decisions are interpreted. They may instead apply their own rules as to...

I'd have have to see the post and what this person said to have any idea of whether the person might have a shot at winning a lawsuit, but just from what you stated here, it'd be a real long shot. If you made false statements of fact about that person, he/she may have a good defamation claim...

From what I see from the Illinois Revenue Department, the form is one that is completed by the seller and filed with the state (preferably electronically). I don't know if a copy of the form is required to be given to the buyer or if the dealer is just deciding to do that itself. The copy should...

Actually, the government does have that right. When there is a limited resource, to provide fair access to it to those interested in participating in it, the government may need to restrain the overuse of that resource by a few high producers. Getting good data is part of the process of...

If by "reopen the case" you mean starting up investigation and possible prosecution of Nicole, that would not violate the Sixth Amendment. But is still the case that the decision is up the DA. It's not up to the public to prosecute her nor may they force the DA to do so. The public often puts...

It's not a violation of the Sixth Amendment as that only applies to the government seeking to restrain the accused persons choice of attorney. It violates no ethical rule for lawyers, but it does go against the spirit of the laws and ethics rules we have. And it's a big waste of taxpayer money...

One way to really find out how much your company values you is to find another job that pays at least competively with what these new employees are getting paid and then tell the company that if it wants to keep you, it needs to at least match that other offer. This involves risk, because if...

They are not applied like they would in Colorado District Court or in a non small claims proceeding in County Court. The Colorado Small Claims Court Rules simply provide in Rule 513: The hearing of all cases shall be informal, the object being to dispense justice promptly and economically...

A good place to start your search would be the attorney search feature of the Minnesota Bar Association. You can search by area of practice and get a list of the lawyers practicing in that area. The list won't rank the quality of the attorneys, but at least you'll get information on which...

Show a yellow pages book to a milennial and see the confused look on their faces. :D That would be filled with a lot of old information that's no longer good. Law firms come, go, and change all the time, and it's not uncommon for lawyers to change firms one or more times during a career. That...

Hardly. I have a very clear picture of the Trump presidency. Many of his supporters overlook the problems of his presidency and some seem to revere him close to something like God. I'm not one of them and IMO Trump was a terrible president who, while he had some successes, overall did more harm...
