    Imminent Danger To The Public, Retaliation, Abuse Of Power Breach Of Contract, Etc.

    This is not breaking news. It most likely is a news Exposé which takes time to put together. That would be my guess.

    Probate

    That is probably true but residence only means he lives there. It doesn't mean he owns it. The true owner could have him evicted unless your mother gave him an ownership interest or life estate that you don't know about..

    Consumer Fraud irs pin

    Did they ask for an Identity Protection Pin or (F)EIN? If the former, then likely a scam since that number is never supposed to shared with anyone. If you mean they asked for EIN on an application, then likely you were doing business with the company. The IRS never calls to communicate. Its...

    I'm legally 18 and I need to know that if I can switch schools without parental consent.

    You have to stop thinking about and reacting about the bullying. You made it to your senior year. Look inward to know your strengths and ignore what other people do. Concentrate on your studies and graduate and live a prosperous life forward. Time passes rapidly.

    Gift from Assets before Nursing Home

    My advise would be to seek out a professional that handles nursing home placements and estate planning in your area. There are exemptions that do not trigger the 5 year look back penalty that may not be obvious to you just knowing the law. You can search for these professionals online...

    Ohio: Roommate given Marital property over surviving spouse

    Its true that I am not a lawyer and don't pretend to be one. Nor are 90% or more of the volunteers that post on this legal board and other legal boards. They rely on their self-knowledge and experience. I have never tried a case in court. I have been a plaintiff and I have been a defendant...

    Ohio: Roommate given Marital property over surviving spouse

    Why not? OP had the dog chipped and it is her name on the chip certificate (although she doesn't say so). Let the girlfriend go to court and try to get the dog back. Over the years that I have been reading your responses to posts, they read like a textbook on the law; the way it should be...

    Colorado Supreme Court disqualifies Trump from state’s 2024 ballot

    Then you haven't been following the NY fraud case against him, his family, and his business. Judge Arthur F. Engoron and Attorney General Letitia James make up the law as they go. Judge Engoron even said so in 2015 when he said that if he doesn't like a jury verdict he sets it aside or if he...

    Can't pay property tax

    Don't travel with cash Jack. If you get pulled over for a traffic violation and you have a few thousand in cash on you, you may just lose it. Then the cops send it to the Feds and get a kickback. And the crazy thing about you getting you cash back, to contest the forfeiture, you must file...

    Colorado Supreme Court disqualifies Trump from state’s 2024 ballot

    We are at a turning point in the judicial and political institutions in this country. And if the Supreme Court doesn't get this right, you can forget about free and fair elections in this country for good. It's a Pandora's box that will never be closed. I don't care whether you love or hate...

    Easement/Trespassing

    If I remember correctly from your post (#46), your attorney said that there was no legal easement granted to the back neighbor and that because the SOL has run (15 years of use) that a judge would not extinguish the right of the neighbor to use your property. So you filing suit to eject the...

    Question about fees

    As required by whom? We don't know the subject matter of the letter but let's say it is a Cease and Desist letter. Tell me what would warrant an attorney to investigate the facts provided to him by the client? I would agree that if you ask an attorney to file a civil suit, he/she would not...

    Question about fees

    Why? All the attorney was hired to do is write a letter using the information provided by the client, not litigate a case. Something like to write a letter should have been done as a flat fee. There are unscrupulous attorneys out there.

    Can't pay property tax

    You have not indicated your jurisdiction so all we can do is give you a general answer. The way it works is that when taxes are due on real property but are not paid, interest begins to accrue on the unpaid balance. Most jurisdictions, whether municipal or county, will give you 12 (or more)...

    Catskill build - many missteps - delays

    New York has very specific contract laws for home improvement and home builders. Much of the contract contents are the same for improvements and building. New York state law requires that consumers receive a written contract for home-improvement work that exceeds $500. The contract must...

    Lawyer trying to raise fee at last minute

    My understanding of a contingency agreement for representation is that the attorney's fee is paid by contingency. All expenses such as experts, court reporters, depositions, filing fees, etc., are paid by the client. It's something that personal injury attorneys don't say in their advertising...
