Good for her. More employees should be willing to do that when confronted with an employer policy to which they strongly object rather than staying and just sucking it up. If more employees were willing to walk out due to bad policies it would have the effect of changing what policies those...

And not all private counsel you hire on your own are automatically better than you'd get with the insurance company lawyer. The difference is you don't pay the insurance company lawyer while you see just how good or bad the lawyer is, while you do pay the bills of your own lawyer while you see...

This part I agree with. One shouldn't just take the minimum limit policy if he/she has significant assets or income that may be attached should the judgment exceed what the insurance company will pay. The extra premium you pay for the larger policy limits will be extremely valuable should you...

Why spend the money for that until it is actually necessary, e.g. the insurance pays up to the policy limit and bows out of the lawsuit or the insurance company attorney proves to be a dud? Typically what you pay your own lawyer in defense is not recoverable from the opposing party and it's not...

I'll note a couple of things for you. First, what you described is far from a slam dunk case. Few cases really fall into that category. As the person making the claim, it's not unusual for you to see the case in black and white terms and see the case as an easy win for you. But if you go to...

And how long ago did that conversation with the trust attorney take place? If it was nine years ago then it's too late to sue the trust attorney over that now. So the answer to this question will address whether you can even proceed with suing the lawyer now Even if there is still time, the...

Your mother has an attorney representing her in the lawsuit, right? At the very least the insurance is obligated to defend against, as Zigner already pointed out. While motions to dismiss are frequently filed at the start of a lawsuit, not a lot of them get granted. What are the grounds for your...

If it goes to court, the employer will have to turn the information over to the defendant upon receiving a discovery request from the former employee. That discovery request goes to the employer from the former employee (or more likely through their attorneys). In most jurisdictions the court...

What would the claim be for and who would you sue? You made the choice to hire a lawyer. No one forced you to do it. So is your problem with someon recommending you get a lawyer, or with the lawyer himself/herself for work done? What happened years earlier? The payment of $6,000 of legal fees...

Let's start by defining what wrongful termination is. A wrongful termination is one in which you are fired for a reason prohibited by law. The prohibited reasons include firing you because: of your race, color, religion, sex (including sexual orientation, gender identity, etc) national origin...

Recourse for what, exactly? The legal fees you paid are generally not recoverable from the opposing side when you are the one who started the litigation in the first place. You might be able to pursue legal fees if the trust keeps the case alive just to string things out as long as possible...

Typically private foundations are structred as a corporations. Are you planning on organizing it as some other kind of entity? If you are operating the foundation in Texas then you will want to register as a foreign entity regardless if the state law specifically requires it. If you don't do...

Well, I'd wonder why the cop would feel his shot through the barrier would be any more effective than the woman's shot. If the cop knew the glass stopped her bullet, what would make him think his shot would be any more effective? If the glass was visibly damaged by the first shot, then maybe the...

If the judgment is only against the LLC and not the owner of the LLC then you may have a problem if the LLC files bankruptcy. The bankruptcy of a business entity like a corporation, LLC, etc is typically done under either Chapter 7 or Chapter 11 of the bankruptcy code. The Chapter 7 results in...

It likely wasn't illegal, though I don't know all the circumstances to say for certain. The details would matter, of course, but I would guess an administrative suspension, either either with or without pay, is likely in his future. And hopefully a requirement for some remdial firearms safety...

I've not seen anything that open ended about charges for water service before either. But with thousands of municipalities out there, there are probably a variety of odd-ball ordinances around the country. I would guess most of those would be found in smaller towns/counties.

The only way you will know how the benefits will change is to vote for unionization and then see what deal the union can strike with the employer. If the employer really hates unions, it's probably a safe bet it will try to strike a deal with union that is less generous, perhaps a lot less...

The problem I see with that is that the section you linked refers to protests of ad valorem (property) taxes. The OP's complaint is not about property taxes, but rather about the added fee for water service. As a result, I don't see OP making much headway citing that section of the state law...

The estate can do that, but whether it will do any good depends on whether Diane's estate has the rights to what is being transferred by the deed. The best thing would be for Sam's estate to transfer the rest of the rights it still has to Diane's estate or have a court determine that Diane's...

I agree. But by your own admission, you have no idea what was discussed. So how do you know things were discussed that shouldn't have been? Just assuming it because it occurred while Biden is in office or have you got something else?
