    Computer Crimes, Hacking Did I commit a cyber crime?

    I understand and that's OK. Unfortunately no one can give you any guarantees. Lesser cases are pursued by prosecutors at times and sometimes to make a point that people should expect lesser crimes to slide. There is also the chance that there are facts we haven't been given that may have been...

    Computer Crimes, Hacking Did I commit a cyber crime?

    There's a famous statement that typically applies to computing of which you're probably familiar: GIGO. I give you credit for providing a good amount of information but it's difficult to say whether what you did was a crime or a civil wrong or any wrong at all. It's entirely unclear as to who...

    Divorce

    Another option for a referral is to use the case review for a New Jersey referral.

    Divorce

    Now I don't know what the facts are and it seemed that both were living in New Jersey. What I'm guessing happened is that she visited the US and that he has resided in New Jersey for a year or more. And while the wife is in New Jersey, he serves her personally with divorce papers and then she...

    Divorce

    This is true and I should have clarified about state requirements, such as in New Jersey there is a one year residency requirement, etc. But in theory if everything aligns, it would be possible to file for divorce in New Jersey even though the marriage ceremony took place out of state. That is...

    Divorce

    From what I know, if both husband and wife are living in the U.S. and the issue is whether one party can get divorced in the U.S. for a marriage that was created in India then the answer is yes. As long as the marriage was valid and recognized in India, courts in the U.S. should recognize the...

    Self-proclaimed man-hater at work

    I can completely appreciate your frustration. But do you want a law school answer or a real world answer? Other than the man-hater pin, has this female co-worker done anything else to actually harass you? Her chatter about her periods and sexual partners doesn't seem to constitute harassment of...

    My rights

    Sorry to hear about your situation. Keep in mind that people may threaten all types of legal action when they feel it important to get their way. That doesn't mean they will do it, just scare tactics. It's not limited to domestic issues such as divorce and family law but also civil law, where...

    Licensing to commentate professional sports in-real time, without video

    I remember similar issues arising back when I was in law school many years ago and has crossover with live sports statistics and data feeds for pagers (back before the World Wide Web existed and became ubiquitous.) The earliest related decision was actually almost 100 years ago ( International...

    Divorce

    If your friend went to India where the marriage ceremony was performed, recognized and filed then I fail to see why filing for divorce there is an issue and what U.S. law has to do with this matter.

    banned for no reason?

    He can certainly try a U.K. law forum but I'm guessing the answer will be the same. From a practical standpoint, cost is high and chances of success are low pursuing a lawsuit against a forum owner to compel access to the forum. This issue presented does not have any clear legal lines of...

    Negligence, Other Injury Can Deceased Sue?

    Attorneys are almost certainly not lining up to take this case because so much time has passed since the incident and sadly (my condolences), the injured party isn't around to testify as to exactly what happened. The case you describe is highly fact specific. Unless there is video that clearly...

    banned for no reason?

    Many people are under the impression that since they participate a great deal and/or voluntarily contribute to a private enterprise they are entitled to something for their patronage. Let's use a tangible real world example. You frequent a bar, tip the bartenders well, bring in customers and...

    Subleasing tenant not on lease refusing to leave

    But in this case there is full performance under the agreement and even partial performance acts as an exception to the statute of frauds up to the amount performed. Perhaps I should have made this clear as this would be an enforceable oral agreement as it has been fully performed by the lessor.

    Subleasing tenant not on lease refusing to leave

    Agreed - assuming that such would fall under the statute of frauds and be unenforceable. Unless I read too quickly, I think the month to month agreement should be enforceable.

    Billed for services not requested.

    Congratulations on the birth of your new born. Your child's health is obviously of paramount importance and thankfully that is not in issue. Unfortunately there is no easy answer and question the amount of time and pain you're willing to endure. If you can get a substantial discount on this...

    Hacked e-mails

    You're missing a critical step. The emails were publicized by another party. They have become public knowledge. If the Donald Trump campaign obtained Hillary Clinton's emails illegally there would be a question about using those emails that were obtained illegally. It's the same as the Clinton...

    Storage unit ex belongings

    Just to add to @adjusterjack 's great post, if he won't get his stuff and you have proof, that may be considered abandonment. Make sure you've provided him with notice about the timing. If so, I doubt your ex will have any credibility in the very unlikely case he tries to take you to court. The...
