If what you suspect is true, I would be more inclined to put your sister's employer in jail. Though as Patricia has pointed out to you, you have no proof of wrongdoing. The $250 check could be W-2 employee payment and the $80 cash could be 1099 independent contractor earnings. If your...

We cannot assume that company A went bankrupt. That had not been said in the original post. It can be presumed that company B purchased company A. This would seem more logical with the letter coming from company B stating they would assume the liability of the contract. I assume you can't...

Think of it this way... Your employer is giving you 8 hours free for the holiday. He is not giving you 10 hours free. Thus if you want the full 40 hours during a holiday week, you need to chip in the additional 2 hours from your accrued vacation time. If you have no vacation time...

If the value of the items were significant, you may wish to hire a local attorney to persue civil action. Though I agree with jacksgal's sarcasm, the limit on abandoned property in Texas is three years. See the Texas statute by the link below. www.window.state.tx.us/up/forms/96-376.pdf

Review the following link: http://www.uwex.edu/wgnhs/sinkholes.htm This is definitely the responsibility of the landlord. If you deem it to be a hazard and the landlord does nothing, you may be best advised to contact your local emergency management service. They hopefully could tell you...

The landlord kept you well informed during his crisis and even lowered your rent since he felt bad about the burden he had placed upon you. In return for all this you intend to hold the letter of the law above his head just so to elude the rent increase for another month or two? I can't...

Anyone related to the borrower would be excluded from purchasing the short sale. This is most likely a clause in the agreement with your mortgage company that allows you out of your mortgage contract due to the short sale. Of course nothing keeps you from having a friend buy it and then sell...

The mortgage holder will certainly require the short sale to be at "arms length". This would definitely be stipulated in their short sale acceptance agreement. Has this been a primary residence for you (homestead) for the past two years? If not, you and your father will be responsible for...

Using your work computer to send and receive personal email would be sufficient grounds for dismissal in some companies. This would be dictated by the company's policy. There is nothing illegal should your employer read anything on the company computer. Anything you place on that computer...

What are your damages? Did you pay out of your own pocket to have your son examined by a doctor or emergency room? Do you think you are going to get punitive damages for your son being terrorised and you becoming a nervous mess? Well, forget it. It won't happen. Unless you can show that...

You have not indicated what the roommate's intentions are. Is she claiming damages? All breeds of dogs can be unpredictable. It is conceivable that the dog accidently "tagged" her with a tooth while playfully jumping on her. She may not be a dog person and thus thought the dog was being...

Most used car sales are "As Is" and that is why you have a mechanic check it before you buy. This is also why some people purchase a carfax. I would suggest purchasing the carfax to confirm the mechanic's indication of it being previously wrecked. Larger dealerships do not sell wrecked used...

The following statutes may help answer your inquiry. Second-degree Sexual Assault of a Child. Section 948.02 (2), Wisconsin Statutes, prohibits sexual contact or sexual intercourse with a child who is at least age 13 but under 16 years of age (Class BC felony). Engaging in repeated acts...

Non-exempt employees MUST be paid for ALL time worked. Thus if you come in early to start work and don't put this on your timecard, you are placing the company into a precarious legal situation. That may explain why the uproar when this came to the attention of upper management or someone...

There is no law, to my knowledge, that governs what is kept within an employee's employment file. There is nothing illegal about the company taking a negative perspective of you and the situation. You haven't told the details of what occurred, yet I surmise you stepped outside your...

The purpose of FINRA is to protect the public in regards to the securities trading profession. Your only recourse is to request arbitration which will be both costly and time consuming. Your best action is to consult with a local attorney. The initial consultation is usually free.

If you are unwilling to help yourself by filing a police report for your stolen vehicle, then why should you expect help from anyone else? Your accusations appear to be without merit. The attorneys you approached either saw you had no case or very little to gain. Therefor they are unwilling...

I'll leave the legal stuff to someone better acquainted... As for the common sense approach, the moment she appears to have moved out, check out the apartment. If it is void of any personal effects such as clothing, tooth brush, toiletries, etc. then change the locks! If she is unable to...

I just reread your post and realized that your mother no longer owns the salon as of 2002. I would speculate that your mother would not have been responsible for the taxes in arrears. The new and current owner would become liable. Perhaps the salon has gone out of business and that is why the...

The salon's prior owner most likely did not pay the business tangible taxes on the equipment. Thus the new owner, your mother, must pay them. She purchased the business, lock stock and barrel. The taxes were a business liability that were not recorded on the salon's financial reports at the...
