Believe you-me, I can hold-out another year, two years.....whatever. Sometimes I have my doubts about my lawyer as he seems to believe everything in the cops deposition to include a remark that the house was illegally rooming. My lawyer/s have been doing this for a lott'a years, they're a father...

Unbelievable, according to my lawyer, he's gonn'a argue that it's 1,000 per hour I spent detained which was 58 hrs. The city tends to argue that it's 500 per hour. The loss of employment, we don't have (unfortunately). Anyway, all total is 65 grand. Something just isn't right. If I hold-out for...

My Thanks to all of you for your well wishes and input. One last item to this injustice:) The landlady has a brother who lives in the bsmt apt who is the landlord for the 1st floor level where the target to this whole thing lived, this guy (the target) was months later busted while driving...

It's a long story but (of course) no, nothing was found in my room which is seperate from the rest of the house, like private living quarters, no den, nothing to associate the residents except when I knocked on the door across the hall to pay my rent. My lawyer & the city's lawyer don't want my...

I appreciate everyone's thoughts & interest in my situation. It is nothing compared to what occured in 1990. Yep, a compelling & awful, tragic story. It's a cold case which I intend to have re-open and investigated thouroughly. My young brother & I were crime victims, ambushed by a gang of...

Oh! ah.......I recall it was 'bout 7 am when they escorted us all out'a the house, on the way to the precinct they stopped for breakfast (we could hear from the back of the van), so it was after the fingerprints that I asked the officer (who was trying to engage in conversation w/me after...

My intentions exactly. I don't care how long it takes or what has to be done I'm not getting kicked in the butt ever again. I'll drag them to court if comes to that & I can prove that the agency is lying. My lawyer says all of that crap doesn't matter right now as much as the statement the cop...

Pardon if I take-up too much of your time w/ this. The agency says that they had purchases from a guy downstairs (this is a rooming house). The guy was strangely not present at the house for like 3 straight days b4 the raid so the cops destroyed his room searching for stuff, then they turned...

Much, much in gratitude to you for your expert advice. I immediately contacted a lawyer the very next day (They're a father and sons firm) and went thru all the deposition interviews and now we're at the point of a settlement. My lawyer asked me to take a few days and come-up w/ an amount...

It is an honor to elaborate with you people. I couldn't agree more. I had written a letter to the CEO who byt the way was in my Front Line Leadership class when he was hired and knew who I was. His reply was (no surprise) that I was let-go because I failed my initial eval or didn't meet the...

Good Morning; I am an honorable type man w/ a clean record, an Army Vet (non-combat) who was minding his own biz one day while prep to go to work. The 2 family house was suddenly raided, searched and they arrested everyone they could find. Upon return to work 4 days later on a Monday...

Hi folks; I've done a lot of research on my situation but thought I'd get some last feedback on this troublesome issue. I worked for a Non-Profit, was hired in '01 as Maintenance 2. I was a "model employee" w/ outstanding annual evaluations, promoted to Supv in '04, given a...
