Seems to like a lot of things around here. We'll keep a close eye on seeing whether our OP has a real legal issue with which we can help. :)

The "Fair Use Doctrine" is better viewed as a defense to a copyright infringement action. I say this because there are no absolute safe harbors even though certain actions will likely be presumed to fall under the Fair Use Doctrine. Intellectual property owners may refrain from filing a...

This is a small claims court case and the cost of litigation and retaining attorneys would be prohibitive - which is the reason small claims courts were created. I don't know what statute you've found that purportedly would provide for treble damages in the event you succeeded in proving your...

It is bizarre to refuse to give you a copy of the non-compete agreement. If you can't remember the terms and sign with another company who the employer believes is within the terms of the agreement, then whose fault is that?

Shrouded in such mystery! Right now the only thing I'm trying to ignore is election day!

There is an element of risk when dealing in motor vehicles that may not require registration, such as a farm vehicles. And you're probably getting good advice to seek a criminal attorney to be your voice to the police and also to negotiate immunity for you in return for your cooperation. If the...

Yep - I saw that after you pointed it out. The similarity of both the words and the art clearly presents a question because of the likelihood of a connection / confusion.

LOL... yes you're *definitely* a *devout* fan (although I did get to see The Animatrix.) I was only referring to the overall impression of the video alone, which may steer clear of copyright or trademark law even though it might approach the blurred line. But as I mentioned, I completely agree...

Another issue is that creating the wrong corporate form can create problems. States feature different types of small business corporations and it's not always clear of how one may impact you over the other. For example, the differences between an S corporation and an LLC among others. Filing and...

When it comes to issues that concern arbitrary decisions, you're breaking the law once a court rules that you are - or you aren't. Without any investigation and just gut feeling, I'd find it a difficult case to make that you are in violation of any copyright or trademark associated with the...

Think about the math - that's a no win deal for you and I'd reject it. Tell him "thanks but no thanks" and then negotiate down the bills yourself. Any amount you negotiate down means you keep 100%. His negotiation down of the bills doesn't put one extra penny in your pocket. I wonder whether...

I'm not sure what this means and you should make this clear with your attorney. Typically the negotiation of medical bills is a part of the attorney's work on the case and there is a settlement based upon the medical bills. And if there is a reduction in the medical bills, what "part" of the...

I don't understand the issue either. But I'm guessing that it has to do with the unfortunate blackmailing that others have tried to do by using public mugshots to continue to keep those with a strike in their background in the public eye. And it may be removable for a fee. It's a disgraceful...

I've heard of these issues before, seeking to fire the complaining employee. Don't panic. Typically these types of retaliatory termination for the victim of sexual harassment is the greater likelihood that an employment lawyer might take your case on contingency. It's not an accusation that an...

Good point. Although I just realized that I'm unsure of how the relation exists. Either way, if a plea bargain is possible, it's still within the realm of the best outcome possible for all parties, even though nothing can truly be considered a "good" outcome after something like this happens...

If it's their fault, your best bet is to send them a demand letter containing the conditions you wish, e.g. return of your payments, remuneration, etc. A thought - you may be locked into a deal with Acura but you may be able to get some relief from the dealership as a result of their mistake.

Writing down and documenting what happened is not a paper trail. The trail must begin with someone separate from yourself and preferably with someone in HR. You would also do well with a trail of evidence from co-workers who have also seen these incidents that would qualify as sexual harassment...

It's unanimous. Typically good deeds like these go punished later. What is your co-worker going to say if there are problems later and you accuse her of pulling down her pants to show off her underwear? If you think she'll admit it and you're wiling to risk your job, then that is your decision...

That is a good point by @txls although I wouldn't be surprised if there is an arbitration clause - and exactly for the reason the attorney cited as well as the fact that the costs of legal action against the dealership would likely be significantly reduced with an arbitration over a full blown...

The situation is unclear. To me it seems as if the new roommate is not a signator on the lease with the landlord but a subtenant of Arica who is a signator on the lease. That said, we have no idea what is written on the lease. We can only presume. There is also no roommate agreement. My guess is...
