You don't know that the campaign had no knowlege of the golf outing. I'd be surprised if it didn't have knowledge of it. One need not have been a party to planning it to have leaked it, whether intentionally or not. All that's needed is to have knowledge of the event. As I've seen no evidence...

I'll tell you my general thoughts, and I'm in Colorado. The management company is merely the agent for the landlord. The landlord is the one responsible for return the security deposit under the Colorado statutes. The management company may be the one obligated to return it under the contract...

That wasn't the event the report focused on. The Secret Service caught the golf course guy before he could make any attempt to harm Trump. As for how the would be shooter might have learned Trump would be there, there are a lot of possibilities, most of which would start with someone in the...

Whether you are required to submit that information depends on information I don't have. I've not seen the details of the lawsuit that was filed against you, the terms of the agreement you had, nor the "letter" that you received. In general judges don't send letters to litigants asking for...

The New York times covered the release of the report on the Secret Service failures during the attempted assassination of President Trump. Most of the recommendations are not new. Read the article here: Secret Service reorganization recommendations The link is a gifted article so you should not...

Not correct. You are a lienholder, not the owner of the vehicle. While that gives a you the right to take possession of the vehicle if the loan is not paid or the loan agreement is otherwise breached, that is not the same thing as the being the owner of the vehicle. Your rights and obligations...

Gee, if you find that shocking, then let's be fair and take note of the accusations made of Trump's alleged plagiarism. Plagerism is, unfortunately, a common occurrence in politics by candidates of every party and every part of the political spectrum. How much the candidates actually know...

Quite true. The details of each state's law matters as to exactly what is available and how it works when it comes to recording or registering wills. For that reason, I'd highly recommend to anyone who has a will and is contemplating recording/registering it consult an estate planning attorney...

Generally I would not recommend clients record their wills with the probate court (or whatever court handles probate in that state) prior to death, assuming that their state even allows for that. It's an expense and step that is not required and typically doesn't provide any benefit other than...

You are required to provide the subcontractor (assuming that the person was really an independent subcontractor rather than an employee) with a Form 1099 NEC if the total you paid that person during the year is $600 or more. You should always get the Form W-9 from a subcontractor. You need that...

If only dad jokes are made and not mom jokes, that may result in a hostile work environment based on sex discrimination.

While a corporation may be formed at any time of the year, the election with the IRS for S-corporation tax treatment must be filed no later than 2 months and 15 days after the start of the corporation's tax year (March 15 for most businesses) in which the election is to become effective.

Yes, it is too late to make the S-corporation election for 2024. That had to be done no later than March 15. You may file now to make that election for 2025 and the deadline to do that is March 15, 2025. See Form 2553 and the related instructions to see what is required to make the election...

I don't know where you got that idea, but Illinois is still a state, like pretty much every other state, that applies the doctrine of employment at will. See the Illinois Department of Labor FAQ page, question 4, which directly states that. It's a bit different when you are a government employee...

The First Amendment only prohibits government regulation of speech. Regulation of speech by private parties is not covered. As a result, building owners may ban all canvassing on their property if they choose, including canvassing by those running for public office. Moreover, the First...

As a practical matter, you want the car, you'll need to pay the tickets. Your contract with your customer should include a provision that any costs you incur in collecting the debt get added to what the buyer owes. If you don't have that, go to a contract attorney and have a new contract...

I agree with Jack; it appears that he has transferred to you the property reserving a life estate for himself. That's another approach in estate planning that is popular some states. The life estate means he reserves for himself the right to live there, rent it out, etc., and also continues to...

I always heard the phrase as "crystal clear". This is the first time I've seen it as "clear as crystal".

The federal laws regarding employment discrimination collectively known as Title VII were amended in 1978 by the Pregnancy Discrimination Act. The Act is explained in plain language by the EEOC on its page Pregnancy and Pregnancy-Related Disability Discrimination. In short, there is an...

By the way that chart (which I've included below for clarity) is a bit misleading. It makes it appear that all trial court decisions except those from Denver probate court (and Denver County is the only county in the state that has a separate probate court) go directly to the Colorado Supreme...
