    You may have issues with the stadium and the jaguar statute - and I'm guessing you're talking about "Touchdown", the jaguar who sits outside of the stadium where the Jacksonville Jaguars play football. It's a good question and can't say for sure. My understanding is that simply because a piece...

    Did I commit fraud ?

    I thought I remembered something about not being able to sell a World of Warcraft account. One reason is because most gaming sites don't want to deal with the hassles of being put in the middle of transfers of sale for these accounts. There is much fraud with accounts and I had to have my credit...

    Shoplifting, Larceny, Robbery, Theft Shoplifting at Kohls, no police, threat of civil demand letter

    A couple of thoughts. Most attorneys say you shouldn't pay a civil demand. That is because (a) very few ever get enforced; (b) it's not due until an actual judgment is rendered (and see letter a); (c) unless you meet certain criteria, your name will not be entered into the theft database that is...

    Non-Competition Clause

    The larger issue with these non-compete agreements is with your potential new employer. Have you discussed the non-complete agreement with them? Many times they don't want to even broach the subject of employment once they discover that an employee has a potentially enforceable non-compete...

    Family, Other Newly Married, Question Re: Adjusting Immigration Status

    Actually I would hesitate to call USCIS and I would contact an immigration attorney immediately for a consultation. If your wife arrived in the US on a tourist visa while knowing that you would get married and then apply for a green card, she might be found guilty of visa fraud. This is because...

    Can the landlord let me in if I'm still on the lease

    Don't you have a key to your own leased premises? If you're on the lease you have a legal right to enter and use the premises but, as others have suggested, this is an issue that seems to require perspective and appropriate conduct over purely legal remedies. And what confuses me is why you are...

    Landlord added item to lease

    If the statute actually said "use" you might be right if the landlord tried to make an amendment to your lease which was not permissible under those terms. But you haven't provided the actual code or its text. From what I know, @adjusterjack is probably correct in stating that the issue is...

    How can you possibly fight a corrupt city government?

    If there are signs of corruption then the statute of limitations can be tolled. Still that isn't your choice but the district attorney's. And your own lawsuit should have been against the county although that too is a rough case to make and the likelihood that you'd have to fund your own...

    Did I commit fraud ?

    I doubt you'll be arrested but that's not our decision nor is it the buyer's decision. That is up to the district attorney as to whether you should be charged with a crime. He can also choose to sue you in court for civil damages although that too is also doubtful. Bottom line - does he have his...

    Situation with hollywood movie scripts - crazy story

    You can always come to California and sue in small claims court for anywhere from $5,000 to $7,500 depending upon the jurisdiction the defendant is located. And if you win you can try to collect. I doubt this Hollywood honcho's big time powerful attorney will represent him in small claims court...

    How can you possibly fight a corrupt city government?

    Glad to hear I can be of help. Truth is an absolute defense to a defamation lawsuit. But many make the mistake of getting angry and taking some liberties with their facts, especially in the extra text. You don't want to do that. Presenting the facts as they are is a different story. And I...

    How can you possibly fight a corrupt city government?

    This is a long time ago. Legally I don't know what can be done because it's complicated and involves allegations of government corruption. Have you brought this up to the state attorney general's office? Perhaps the Arizona State Attorney General might look into charges of corruption. I...

    Being photographed without permission

    Where are these photos placed online? Many social media sites do not allow for photographs of minors to be posted without consent. It's very difficult to find the form but you can report to Facebook a violation of your privacy rights or your child's privacy rights. Other sites feature something...

    Slander/Defamation of Character

    Slander requires a false statement to be made. If the building changed from a smoking to a non-smoking building then those are the rules and technically the management company would be correct based upon those facts. This is a tough case to make even if you're right, especially to prove oral...

    How can you possibly fight a corrupt city government?

    I am so sorry to hear about your plight. I'm going to be honest - not only is this too much information that isn't organized concisely but the Dirty Laundry song by Don Henley has to go if you want people to take this seriously. I tried to read some of it (such as the communication with the...

    Did I commit fraud ?

    Here is what I don't understand - did you not have any record of which accounts you sold? Asking him for proof that you sold him this account would probably get him understandably furious and agree wholeheartedly with @adjusterjack . The problem with what you describe is that it happens all too...

    Small claims summons

    What may help is to place a lien on the defendant or let him know that's your next plan of action. Depending upon their life circumstances, it could be quite important. The court clerk should be able to provide you with limited assistance with judgment enforcement. Sadly @army judge is correct...

    Loan contract governing law

    I've fixed this and in short, choice of law clauses may be enforceable as it pertains to the contract with some clear exceptions: It would be illegal to forum shift; The forum has no reasonable relationship to the parties or the transaction; There is some reason why enforcing the clause would...

    Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

    Beautiful. Hope you had a good one as well. Mine was spent with family and a lot of manual labor! I'd probably also include safe shopping among the hordes during Black Friday and Cyber Monday! Best to all of you.

    Can I take action against Paypal for losing $600 of my money?

    So what happened is that you had a credit go through and then it was changed to "pending." You're not going to like what I'm going to say but it's probably the best you can do. We are probably talking about damages of $100-200 at best. You can always try to sue them in small claims court...
