Yeah...if your post needs to be that long, then your situation is way too complex for an internet message board. Consult with a local attorney.

That depends on who's making the motion. California Code of Civil Procedure section 116.720 allows "[a] plaintiff who did not appear at the hearing in the small claims court [to] file [and the court to grant on a showing of good cause] a motion to vacate" a small claims judgment. Sections...

In the U.S., laws vary from state to state. A couple of quick and cursory google searches suggest the consent of only one party is required in Canada, while the consent of all parties is required in the Philippines. You'll need to consult with attorneys in every jurisdiction in which your...

Under U.S. law, you can use a photo of any item you own for the purpose of marketing. If you use a photo someone else took and don't have a license, then you will potentially have issues with copyright law.

Were you with him when this happened, or are you just telling us what he told you? The last part of your post suggests that you do not have this ability, but it's impossible to be certain, and you are certainly free to try. You're not going to get any sort of detailed step-by-step how-to...

You didn't ask a question, so I'm unsure what the point of your post is. That said, it's quite unfathomable that you would stop at that location and beyond comprehension that you would give this person over $1,000 (WTF carries that kind of cash)! You weren't "swindled" or the victim of any...

Of course you have rights. You do not, however, have any rights regarding your minor half-sister until a court says otherwise. I've been posting on legal message boards for two and a half decades, and this is probably the most irksome comment that anyone makes. Of course we don't have the...

Giving us only one example (which isn't all that bad) and then saying "many things like this have happened" really isn't helpful. That's not to say that I think you should give us dozens of examples, but this illustrates the limitations of internet message boards for some situations. The...

The rule you linked requires retention of four things: (i) Policies and procedures. (ii) A communication if it "is required by this subpart to be in writing." (iii) Documentation of "an action, activity, or designation [that is] required by this subpart to be documented." (iv) Documentation...

For future reference, if you're going to handle HR matters by text message, you ought to preserve the messages in real time. As for the present situation, the best you can hope for is to ask for a continuance.

I agree with all of this, but it's too late if the hearing is next week. To the OP: How long have you known about this hearing?

With no insurance in play, you're looking at potential liability for the damage to the other vehicle (up to its fair market value if that exceeds the cost of repairs), the other driver's past and future medical bills and past and future lost earnings (plus "pain and suffering"). Obviously, you...

Did the owner of the vehicle have insurance? Was the other vehicle a car or a motorcycle? An cameras around?

When you ask others for assistance, being an ass in response to legitimate questions is not going to be productive. Have a good day.

Did you call animal control before doing this? They "framed" you? What does that mean? I assume that what the cops actually did was arrest you on these charges. "Framed" implies that they manufactured evidence. I'm assuming that you were charged with violating either section 13A-11-14 or...
