    Do I Have Any Recourse Here?

    No you do not have a discrimination claim. Unless you have an employment contract, you may be fired for ANY reason that is not legally discriminatory. You were fired due to a claim by another employee that you did indeed push the server. Due to the company policy of no harrassment, you were...

    Car Allowance Requirement

    The law does not regulate corporate policy. If the company does not wish to reimburse the employees for the usage of vehicles over 3 years old, they don't have to. If your company does not reimburse you then you have an alternative. For the work related usage of your vehicle you may take a...

    Arraignment, Bail, Bonds, Pretrial Bond Forfeiture

    Your story is still a little unclear. I surmise that the marijuana charge was perhaps negated by your boss. Yet, the initial traffic charge was left unpaid. If indeed the situation is as simple as that all you need do is pay the traffic ticket fine. No need to drive to Georgia for that.

    Is a disclaimer for an investing site enough protection?

    I assume you are not selling a service? If not, then you would not even need a disclaimer. You are simply stating facts and your opinion. What others do with this information is no responsibility of yours. By the way, I just bought 10 shares of IBM because I look for companies that have...

    Terminated and Denied Unemployment Benefits

    It is solely up to you to decide how much time and effort you want to put into this. In your appeal I would suggest reiiterating exactly what you have described in full detail within this forum. Back it up with the form you received from the nurse at the clinic. It would then be up to the...

    Consumer Law, Warranties estimate

    jHarris, Out of curiousity, could the owner legally tell the contractor to simply remove all and leave the roof as it was prior to his work? Since the contract was not completed as anticipated, I would suspect this might be another option if the owner desired this. Though I understand...

    Afraid of my boss

    I'll add a third choice. Be upfront and discuss this with your boss. This most likely will lead to one of two outcomes: 1) A better working envioronment and relationship with your boss or 2) Confirmation that you need to find a new job soon

    might be sued for basketball injury

    Army judge, I fail to see any legal issue with this at all. As we know anyone can sue anyone for any purpose yet that is not to say the suit is valid. I fail to see any Prince's responsibility for the injury in any manner. He was simply playing a game of basketball. People get hurt when...

    Termination of "cash negligence" without proof

    An employer may legally terminate an employee if they suspect deception in avoidance of a drug test. Even though they may be wrong or ignoring the truth for whatever reason, they may still terminate you. Again, as this is NOT a legal issue, only your company can say if this would be of benefit...

    Demanding a Jury Trial for a speeding ticket in Michigan

    I respect your desire for a jury trial, yet I hope you are fully prepared to win. Should you lose, court costs are going to be much more expensive than simply paying the fine. The better option may be to simply take traffic school to keep the points off your record.

    Drug and Alcohol Policy

    You are trying so hard to interject "the law" into your work place. The law does not protect everything that happens within a company. There is no law that I am aware of that stipulates a company must even follow their own policies and procedures. Thus changes to policy is irrelevant as a...

    civil jury trial defending myself

    ginny, I can only answer you in general as I am not an attorney. Generally potential jurors come from a pool usually based upon voter data. If you are registered to vote, you automattically become a potential juror. Jurors are chosen randomly from this pool for the day's court cases...

    Drug and Alcohol Policy

    McCard, Agreed, common sense would dictate a better solution. Yet, we all live in a world where the "law" dictates and not always in a sensible manner. It is not "our legalize" as you refer to us on this legal website, but "our legalize" referring to you, me, and everyone else in this...

    jury selection?

    ginny, The litigants do not pick the jury. The jury is comprised of those chosen from a pool of eligible persons. The attorneys for both sides then have a number of challenges which may bump a juror and another is chosen as a replacement from the pool. Thus your question should be: Do...

    Justice System, Police, Courts Son facing 5 years in prison

    Jennatrish, If all happened as you described, I completely concur with Bluemann33. Yet I am still baffled by your comment, " Several hours later he was arrested claimig they found bullets...". Were the police at the home for all this time? Did they come back later to arrest him? What...

    Drug and Alcohol Policy

    McCard, No one here would disagree with you that the situation is idiotic. You came to this website looking for a legal opinion. You were given that. Other than discriminatory actions, contractual obligations, etc., there are NO legal requirements of how a company interprets and/or...

    Justice System, Police, Courts Son facing 5 years in prison

    Perhaps someone else may answer your specific question, yet meanwhile more info may be helpful. What all happened during that "several hour" period? It sounds like your son may be leaving out some of the story. It sounds like he unfortunately aggravated a normal police investigation into...

    Being sued for hoa fees

    Missy, I don't know how it works in Texas, but here in Florida the HOA dues follows the property and not the owner. Thus when the condo sells in foreclosure, the title company would request an estoppel from the Homeowner's Association. Upon notification of the delinquent dues, this amount...
