    Federal Statute covering theft of electricity

    If you believe someone is stealing electricity or another utility you can report it to the police, the state attorney general and to any relevant party that would be of interest, e.g. the company or companies which engage in business through the use of this grid. If it's really an issue they...

    sold a vehicle, not sure if i am still liable.

    Typically Lemon Laws are drafted to deal with the slang for what a "lemon" is as it relates to consumer goods. It is about holding manufacturers liable and requiring them to accept responsibility for defective goods. They sometimes can cover used cars but only in limited circumstances, usually...

    Flat renting issue

    Most country's laws governing common situations should be reasonable in nature. If the law brings unexpected results for most people, the law is usually not very effective. The UK government site states a landlord must provide 2 weeks to 2 months prior notice to end a rental agreement.

    H Visa H1B Visa on Stock Day Trading

    I'm unaware of any specific statement by USCIS which blesses a certain amount of day trading. By definition, day trading is not 3 trades every 5 days. It is usually buying and selling on the same day. Passive and casual investing is different. And if you're a day trader, that usually connotes...

    EX GIRLFRIEND HOLDING MY PROPERTY

    I'm with @txls and can't believe it. You traveled for a long distance relationship. You left your stuff at someone else's place of residence. What I'm not understanding is the statement "hasn't returned my good to me." The goods will be treated the same way going out of her place as they were...

    atm took my money back

    Sadly this may take some time for the parties to resolve. I doubt any of them are going to just give you the money and sort it out later as to whether you were telling the truth. You also need to determine whether a credit is being processed back to your bank account and whether there may be a...

    NYS CPLR 211 allows 20 years to collect debt..true?

    Yes, NY CPLR Section 211 is still in effect to my knowledge. This document from the New York State Bar Association on Enforcement of Civil Judgments should be most helpful and informative. I believe that there is an excerpt of what I have, which is generally marketed to New York state attorneys.

    State estate tax and living trusts

    As @army judge mentions, we can discuss these issues informally but questions of this nature where the amounts in question exceed hundreds of thousands of dollars - and potentially over $1 million - are best left to a private consultation with a tax attorney or accountant. The question involves...

    Cancel a used car contract

    We don't know the terms of what you signed or the details as to why you don't have a copy of the contract. If I agreed to pay $52,000 I wouldn't leave without a copy of the agreement. I don't know how they qualified you for the loan either. Some states have requirements of fair practices for...

    llc to llc transfer of property

    He's probably referring to a 2 member LLC owned by him and his business partner, hence the close relationship and something that resembles transactions between friends or close persons.

    Harassment by employer's business owner.

    Unfortunately if you're an at-will employee without an employment contract, you can be terminated at any time. Without any proof to support your claims (assuming an action exists), any case you may hope to bring would be difficult at best. I won't get into details about actionable claims, proof...

    Right to Quiet Enjoyment

    What you describe might be considered a breach of your lease agreement. It's impossible to say without seeing your residential lease. However it is important for you to read your lease agreement, especially the parts that are usually contained in many rental agreements which speak to terms you...

    Child Support orders

    It is very difficult to provide any insight without seeing the paperwork. This is something that probably can and should be resolved with some phone calls and, if that doesn't provide answers and responses, sending mail via a certified source should prompt a response as then the parties would be...

    llc to llc transfer of property

    A purchase and sale agreement between authorized persons for each entity should be sufficient. Note that technically the LLC is the owner of the property. If you're trying to gift property from one person to another, the LLC relationship may be examined. Why would LLC A want to gift property to...

    Breach of contract: Due Bill

    Sadly, if it sounds too good to be true then it's almost certainly too good to be true. Lifetime deals are usually similar unlimited deals - somewhat misleading and illusory. There is always a limit to what is infinite or, for the purpose of conversation, a period of time estimated to be well...

    Copyright Use of lyrics in social media

    You should read this article about song lyrics and copyright and trademark law. Many song lyrics quotes are too short to be protected by copyright law. But this shouldn't be taken as absolute, especially when the select group of words might be unique and fanciful and part of a trademarked...

    Are fees paid to collect on a judgment tax deductible?

    The fees charged typically reduce the amount of the recovery.

    Can we convert F4 visa files to F3 Catogory

    I don't think so. This is because the original F-4 visa was petitioned by a different family member. Now you want an F-3 but the F-3 visa would be petitioned by your mother. The optimal approach might be to have both going at the same time and see which is granted first. In order to obtain the...

    Assault & Battery Is a teacher legally allowed to throw something at a student?

    Personally I'm with you @army judge . I don't think there is any reason why a teacher should make such a gesture. It's unprofessional and certainly unwarranted in a classroom.

    Assault & Battery Is a teacher legally allowed to throw something at a student?

    And to make a distinction, I was talking about civil issues while @ElleMD was alluding also to criminal. While they may be technical violations the issue would probably fall under other rules and regulations established in the school rather than any legal method.
