    Medical Malpractice careless radiation

    Ohio's statute of limitations applies. Probably two years. It might not have run if the negligence (or maybe the harm) wasn't known until recently.

    Negligence, Other Injury slipped and got shoulder bone dislocated

    It is impossible to answer 1 or 2. I would suggest talking to a lawyer. They know what the going rate for that injury is. (I also note that settlement may not be a sure thing.) Hire a lawyer close to your home. Unless you find a better one somewhere else, or the accident site is out of state.

    Corporate Law can I self rep my LLC

    What is your LLC doing in criminal court? Generally, yes, you can if you are so authorized by the corporation. If in doubt, check with the court clerk.

    Divorced and going through final agreements

    Why does your lawyer say this should be in there?

    Vandalism at auto shop

    Impossible to say without all the information, but they probably are. They have a duty to take reasonable care of your car. They have a locked lot for storing cars in; they didn't use it.

    Consumer Law, Warranties Invoice is greater than signed proposal

    They can sue you. Whether they will win is anyone's guess. My two cents: they presented a quote, you signed it and returned it, you paid the 25% based on the quoted figure, and they accepted it. It would be difficult for them to convince a court that you owe something other than the quoted...

    Consumer Law, Warranties A Missed Documentation

    Bob? Is that you? You should be able to afford a real lawyer. :) You can demand it, but I don't know about your chances of getting it. I presume the "compensation" you seek is the profit you would have made by selling copies of the video. What you're seeking might be known as "pure...

    Consumer Law, Warranties contractor fired before completion

    What you owe is governed in large part by your contract. What does it state about early termination? If it says nothing, then send him the check, tell him its for the work that was done and itemize everything left to do and what it will cost (which adds up to $2400, natch) and that this is a...

    Consumer Law, Warranties Is a consumer credit contract in the name of 2 people(that is only signed by 1)valid?

    It depends on all the circumstances, but I would be very surprised if, after obtaining and using this credit to your benefit, a court would not require you to pay it back even if both of you hadn't signed.

    Consumer Law, Warranties Reasonable time to wait for furniture

    What is a "sample of a table"? So you'll be up to 12-13 weeks. IMHO, that is not an unreasonable period of time. "8-12 weeks" is not uncommon to wait for dleivery. If the manufacturer doesn't come through in the 2-3 weeks stated, I'd tell the store they have 2 more weeks, after which I would...

    Consumer Law, Warranties Breached contract use of confidential info.

    You might have a claim against the client for breach of the terms of the bid tender process, that would prevent them from accepting the independent contractors bid. You might have a claim against the independent contractor for breaching the confidentiality agreement (and it appears your 3rd...

    wage garnishment

    Both parties are liable - jointly liable. That means the bank can come after either you or her for the full amount. If they do come after you, you could have a claim against her (for all the good that will do you) for indemnity.

    possession nine tenths of the law?

    He's right. Possession is not 9/10ths of the law. It is better than many things, but it is not better than ownership. Your friend owns the laptop, and you cannot sell it against his wishes. That said, he owes you a legitimate debt. I'm sure you two reasonable people can work something out.

    water damage

    How did it happen? You could sue, but if they weren't negligent, you won't win.

    need advice

    Talk to CPS. How has your daughter reacted to this situation? I don't know if I'd bother with a PI lawyer. It's also not clear this was intentional, not that that makes a whole lot of difference - it shouldn't be too difficult to prove negligence in the circumstances. The bigger question...

    Can a city make you fix an error 1.5 yrs after your house is built?

    You mean, "can they force homeowners to comply with city ordinances"? The answer is yes. Sounds to me like the pool should never have been approved as it was. Why did your parents build it that way in the first place? Did the city tell them that would comply? Did they cite any part of...

    Can I sue my ex-girlfriend to recover damages to my wrecked car?

    Sure, you could sue her. Whether she will be liable to pay is another matter. How did the accident happen? Was she at fault? What does the police report say? Do you want to open the can of worms of allegations getting back to your insurance company that you lied about her permission to drive?

    Plaintiff filed incorrect information

    Trust what your local lawyer says unless you have reason to doubt it. No-one here is expert in your rules of civil procedure. Where I come from, it would not be grounds for dismissal. I presume the statement about using the credit multiple times is in something like a statement of claim...

    judgement awarded but not settled

    Check with your court clerk. They probably have an information booklet on how to collect on your judgment. Garnishing the other party's wages is usually an option.

    illegal trust.

    Get a lawyer and contest it. If the trust was executed under duress or when your father lacked mental capacity, it may be void.
