Technically yes, but don't expect much if anything at all. These areas are usually set by law as to maximum amounts. It could be up to, e.g. 15% of your monthly rent but that would be on a pro-rated. Whether you want to tinker with the relationship if it isn't there is up to you.

The landlord is giving you the runaround in order to keep your money. This happens with staggering frequency. 1. The clause in your lease requires written notice. It's badly worded and later implies 30 days prior written notice. The fact remains that if the new owner took control of the...

You are far from the first person to have this happen to unfortunately. It's the officer's lame excuse for having a "fear" of a dangerous situation developing. Before we even continue, let me ask you this -- why is your charge being "lessened" and not dismissed? If you are being charged with...

Really sorry to hear what happened. Why did the cops arrest you? Are they claiming that they confiscated beer from your? Is this an MIP charge? You probably had photographs taken as early as possible to indicate the extent of the injuries I am guessing. It certainly sounds ominous and your...

I would argue just what you are arguing here. There is no basis for the citation that I can see. Here mere presence there should not subject her to such a prosecution but I would still check the state law regarding the offense she may be charged with. In addition, I'm not sure how the police had...

Yes, I agree. Too many don't seem to include state information. Maybe something can be done to make this even more obvious?

I think the $5 million verdict was this case. It was just incredible. BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, INC., PETITIONER v. IRA GORE, Jr. It's a disgrace although it is somewhat "funny." I'll try to post it.

In some instances this is really a problem although there are some checks and balances. A judge cannot throw out a decision just because he doesn't agree with the decision of the jury. He/she must find that no reasonable jury, based on the facts, could arrive at such a conclusion and in order to...

What this typically means is that you get a probationary period of time within which if you complete it successfully, the prosecution against you for violation of the law may be dropped. It's meant for people whom aren't considered to be habitual, repeat offenders and is a second chance type...

I'm not sure what you need. Do you think that there shouldn't be a separation of powers? Do you think the courts should not have some ability to uphold the law which they adjudicate? The courts do not specifically prevent lobby groups but may be called into play to determining whether laws have...

Much of what you discuss has to do with the state within which you are in. The law regarding what constitutes a "MIP" and "MIC" minor in possession or consumption violation is codified by and specific to your state law. Same thing goes with deferrals. Regarding proof of the alcohol, what was the...

What did they tell you? Did the office try to contact you? How did they know that you were supposed to be one of the creditors? How do they know they "lost" your file? Not that this will help but could you obtain records of correspondence, e.g. old phone bills, that indicate you had contact...

Why not file for a similar order against the other party?

I'm very sorry to hear about your problem. My understanding is that a personal guarantee means that you have been personally guaranteed in your employment contract that your wages would be so covered. You may also have some priorities when it comes to paying out whatever money might be paid out...

As far as I know, there is no statute of limitations. Logically, this is because the State couldn't do anything to prosecute their claim which would be your husband's violation of his probation. He left the state. You may want to speak to an attorney about how this might best be worked out...

I'm not sure I understand completely. Your husband was involved in some altercation a while ago and he made a deal with the police -- was any of this ever reduced to writing with the DA, e.g. a plea? I don't know of a standard that you can't testify of someone else's wrongful actions if they...

If he didn't steal the wood then nothing should happen to him. I don't know your county/state and what the punishment is for thefts of that nature (larceny perhaps.) But why are you concerned about that? How good is the account of the eyewitness?

With regard to criminal prosecution? A civil claim? What state?

How much money are you talking about? If less than $5,000 than small claims court might be the best place to go. I would sue him directly and also the company. He'll have to show either way and the judge can decide how liability will fall. First of all, if it can be shown that this person used...

My understanding is that if the creditor records it in your county, yes.
