More important than a printer and pen is a larger security deposit. Because if you don't have the money, all of this will likely be about a painful cost chasing someone to recoup it.

You have a legal agreement. It is called an "oral agreement" and it is just as enforceable as a written agreement. You appear to have a month to month lease. The legal reason you have to evict him is called "nonpayment of rent" or "holdover" - the former is for not paying rent and the latter is...

Many social media sites have legal terms of use that may prohibit posting photographs that include children. And if they do, there must be consent by a parent. But I don't think this is the case. The father seems concerned that the mother of his child is putting out "party photos" of herself...

He's wondering whether the store is liable if the only goods they provide of a certain type are placed on the high shelf. Without more, this seems to be the usual hope of finding liability where common sense and the "do unto others" rule would be easily applied.

Most of the time when I hear that a tenant wants out of a lease they usually greatly over-exaggerate the issues they claim. You do have quite a long laundry list of issues which you claim have not been fixed. If all of these have been documented and the issues are as bad as you say, it's...

Do you know what is the statute of limitations? The law realizes that if people don't think an issue is worth filing a lawsuit within a reasonable period of time then the court's time would probably be wasted hearing it. The memory of witnesses fade. Hence if you don't take action - even if...

1. Nobody is preventing you from inquiring. No one can tell you what the consequences may be from picking up a package whose history and circumstances are unknown to us. You haven't disclosed what activities you performed so as to be remunerated. You want the package - go get it. 2. Did you not...

You don't know whether you should pursue $50,000 of cash that you claim is rightfully yours? Please, don't treat us as if we were so naive. Right now your question is probably moot. First you should be using your tracking number to see if Fedex still even has it in their system and what the...

These are the types of complicated questions that legal counsel cannot answer in any forum, even if we have people present to shed some insight. You have so many variables going on that it would be impossible and completely irresponsible to try to give answers. There is a great deal of what...

It's not such a bad question in the general sense. The bottom line - it's within the discretion of the district attorney whether or not sufficient evidence exists to prosecute a crime. A grand jury may be assembled to determine whether sufficient probable cause exists to prosecute a suspect...

This seems like a very informal, poorly drafted agreement that is open to a great deal of interpretation. And since there are probably so many facts that might be needed to provide further insight as to the intentions of the parties, it would likely be impossible to say for sure what the final...

You have to keep in mind the purpose of the sex offenders registry and the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA). It isn't just a list of people who committed a crime but considered a matter that is a public safety issue. From my understanding there is a belief that such crimes...

Unfortunately this may take a while. You're probably best served retaining an attorney because this is a complication which will most certainly hold up a short sale and any sale of real estate. And since time is of the essence and the amount of money at stake likely to be large, speaking to your...

OK. So reporting is all you can do. Prosecution is in the discretion of a government prosecutor.

You were worried about incriminating yourself for what? When you say that nobody was hurt, mislead or mistreated that doesn't mean the money wasn't payment for something illegal - such as payment for home grown marijuana. I think you're looking at this the wrong way. Your package may have even...

$150 is a lot of money and these texting while driving cases are taken very seriously. Perhaps you can get the ticket dismissed, we don't know. Showing up and pleading "not guilty" will enable you to obtain as much of a remedy as possible. Technically on the law it seems like you may have a good...

So... here's why this situation makes anyone with an ounce of common sense skeptical. 1) If what you were doing was perfectly legal and involved no wrongdoing, why didn't you disclose what was in the package, especially if it was lost and involved an insurance claim? If the package was lost -...

Good luck explaining that to UCSIS. Immigration has heard this story thousands if not millions of times. They are naturally skeptical and for good reason. This issue is not new and was common with mail order brides who send photos and letters and meet for the first time, destined to be together...

I don't think anyone is a sucker - more likely you were very fortunate. The fact that there is a sidewalk across the street doesn't necessarily mean that what you parked on isn't intended to be used by pedestrians as a sidewalk or that it is a legal parking spot. It's quite possible that the ADA...

And it's very easy to obtain an EIN (Employer Identification Number) from the IRS. And you can obtain one very quickly.
