You may also call the local bar association to see what type of free legal assistance they may be able to provide. They do have resources that are available and which might prove helpful to you. Best of luck to you.

Clearly there is a miscommunication somewhere. Hopefully you weren't terminated. But if it turns out you are, as seems likely, @Betty3 has it right. You aren't entitled to the money you may be sent accidentally by the university. If you spend it, you'll likely to receive a demand for a return of...

Sorry to hear about all the trouble you've been through. That must be an incredibly horrifying ordeal. Typically you're better off letting the prosecutor do the work for your civil case first. This is because if the prosecutor charges the person who filed a false claim with a crime and they are...

I'm having a difficult time understanding exactly what happened. The grammar and references are confused. I'm not sure if you actually solicited a prostitute, acted as a prostitute, made all of it up, or that someone else was trying to blackmail you into sharing that you had solicited and used...

I'll assume that you don't have an employment contract, which many do not. As such, you are in an "at will" employment meaning that your employer can terminate you at his or her will. In most instances employment related lawsuits revolve around workers compensation issues, whistleblowers...

To be honest, I don't fully understand your defense. I don't know whether you're using a mobile phone or whether English is not your first language and perhaps that is an impediment, including the poor grammar. I certainly hope you're clearer in your appeal or this will be bounced immediately...

This is what most people call common sense. If you're insisting that a police officer gave you a traffic ticket for absolutely no reason at all, you're going to have a difficult time making your case. You said "delaying going on green" is the reason. But you still haven't provided us with the...

Divorce, child custody and visitation are very difficult topics to discuss amicably as they involve personal feelings and experiences. Conversation can get abrasive, even here, but we can keep it under control. The bottom line is that no matter what the circumstances, the best interests of the...

I have no idea what happened but I am guessing that the police had some reason to give you a ticket. It would be highly unusual that you were just picked out of a group of cars to be given a summons. If the light turns green and the other cars go and you don't, I'm assuming that is within the...

I appreciate how you feel. It makes me incredibly upset that we have any tolerance for these places. The problem is that they are not easy to police and enforce the law. And some places just don't care as much as others. I don't want to diminish the reputation of certain countries but some have...

@adjusterjack makes a good point about rent. In many leases I've seen (especially commercial), some items are labeled as "additional rent" such as late payment fees. As a result, that might qualify as rent due and owing and it depends upon the state as to how such are recognized.

Making reference to a local place is one thing, e.g. "Here we are on set just down the block from the Starbucks on 7th and 27th Street across from FIT." Those are facts and landmarks. I think that from your original statement we had the impression that you might be filming on campus when I think...

I don't know the law in Georgia and how to approach it depends upon the jurisdiction. New York places responsibility on the vehicle's owner. I've heard that California has snitch defenses although I haven't personally seen one (so that if you identify the driver, such as your friend, they will...

There are quite a number of issues - consider trademark. Here's an extreme example. A rapist is going around campus terrorizing women and 3 murders occur. What college or university wants to be named as the place where the fictional crime happens? Even if you feel that a screenplay is laudatory...

Don't play with that phone! Speak to an attorney as soon as possible and you may need to have text message records sent to you from your phone company. Your attorney might be able to help you - but this must be done as soon as possible since many of them purge sms and text messages at around the...

This is a messy situation and sadly what happens often with informal partnerships. I don't know what a "DBA business" means. Is it an incorporated business? A partnership? Did you have any agreement what would happen if you put in capital contributions into the company such as the above? And if...

To begin, you do have a legal role. You are in a legally recognized domestic partnership, that being married to the custodial and biological parent. You have been a part of the child's life for five years and a parent to her. What you've stated is unclear. What does "temporary relocation"...

We really don't know the details of what is contained within the court order concerning the child custody arrangement. I can't speak to specifically any law in your state as I am not licensed to practice. In general, the "best interests of the child" standard is paramount and used. And the fact...

Your employer can do something if he cared enough. I don't know if what is posted falls within the "revenge porn" law but here are some resources. You may be able to prevent Google from indexing any of it. Google to Aid Emerging Laws Battling Revenge Porn NY State Senate Bill S1982C

Wouldn't your employer be irate if he know one of his employees was harassing other employees so that it could impact upon their comfort and/or performance at the workplace?
