No. Some recording is acceptable. It is challenging when you deal with publicly accessible or publicly visible spaces.

You may want to think this through. Has an attorney been appointed? Usually this is a matter that is prior investigated before free legal counsel is simply handed out to a person representing themselves to be financially incapable. If you're going through a divorce then this could work very well...

It's actually a good question but it would likely involve state and local / municipal law and potentially even HOA or condo / coop rules. In some states video recording that concerns the property of another can be unlawful if the video also includes audio recording. While there may be privacy...

Teachers can be fired for misconduct or unprofessional conduct (although some would say it's almost impossible to fire a teacher in a New York City public school for the aforementioned.) We're talking about a private school. Could the school fire the teacher? Perhaps. Do you have a lawsuit? As a...

Sorry to hear about your domain name misfortune. Here are the cold, hard facts. 1) The squatter - as contemptuous as they can be - did not steal your domain name. You allowed it to expire. And furthermore, if it was so important to you then how do you explain the fact that you weren't aware of...

Why does or should a company need to pick from existing temporary workers? Perhaps they are temporary because the company doesn't believe any of the existing temps are better than what they have found? Unless there is a pattern of discrimination against a protected class, e.g. only one race was...

There are many costs you can pass onto the tenant. I had a client who had something called a "triple net lease" where many real estate costs are passed onto the tenant. But with all of these costs and responsibilities passed onto the tenant, the rental price drops considerably. And none of that...

I'm sorry to hear about your problem. I assume you may be talking about this - STEM - OPT Extension. You may have a difficult time suing if there is no formal qualification represented to you. I don't know the details, who may have made the alleged statement (and which the school may claim was...

I don't know who is on the lease for the premises but one would think that every tenant is joint and severally liable. That doesn't bode well for any of you. As was mentioned, it's hard to believe that someone tosses an explosive down the stairs, causes massive damage and you don't think of...

I hope he turned himself in for the warrant and not like @army judge assumes - for both a DUI and a warrant. I hope that your boyfriend has an attorney and, at the very least, has the assistance of the public defender. Your boyfriend's legal counsel is closest to the process and would be in the...

If you go to court and plead not guilty, it's possible that you'll have the speed reduced to a lower number - but as @adjusterjack points out, you probably have no way of avoiding the ticket. Now it's possible that you might be able to fight the method of taking the measurement of your speed (we...

So a buyer who inspected the couch about as well as could be inspected, knew what he was buying and had remorse went to the #1 used method for trying to get others to comply with their wishes - he threatened to sue and hoped you'd be afraid, crumble and give him his money back. The above...

Having an ownership interest in an LLC doesn't necessarily mean that you'd be held personally liable for the misdealings perpetrated by the managing member. And you'd best be sure before you get rid of your ownership. The other members might be glad to take whatever property rights you may have...

I am sorry to hear about such a horrible misdeed. I would think that you should be able to get an annulment as a result of marriage under false pretenses. Logically it would be a marriage void ab initio since you technically didn't marry the man who bears the name on the certificate. From the...

I suggest you get an attorney. Evicting the mother of your daughter and your minor daughter out of the house will probably not go well resorting to self help. And imagine the kind of precedent it sets going forward should the issue of support be called into question. It would probably be a good...

All true. New York courts (especially in New York City) are generally very protective of tenants' rights. You will want to have some type of record as to the conversation regarding ending her time in your home and agree with @adjusterjack on ensuring that there is some proof that she has...

One question not asked is whether the seller made any representations to you or implied something, e.g. the car is and has been in perfect working order or that it hasn't been serviced recently, etc. If nothing has been discussed then you take the car AS IS. But if it was bought on the basis of...

I'm sorry to hear about your bad news and my condolences. Let's put aside technicalities of landlord-tenant court for the moment. It's already September. So according to what you're telling me, the rent should be fully paid by today or, if it's the usual terms, no later than the fifth of the...

Negative. This implies you can make copies of copyrighted works and just give them away for free. "Fan art" is usually a derivative work that doesn't cost the company in sales and which may even benefit them. Some car companies (I believe Ford and Shelby) have sued fan forums to recover their...

It's actually quite incredible that it would appear we have the two lowest rated candidates in history both running for that job in the White House at the same time. I'm surprised that the Independent candidate hasn't even received a look, although I've heard that a number of his positions don't...
