    Need help with fake medicare case

    I didn't even get that far because I stopped reading after he said you can make up any facts you wish. Funny that those details might actually have been part of the original case information and the most important to know. I was going to suggest making up that the defendant ultimately determined...

    accused of threats/intimidation because of a social media post

    Sorry to hear about the problem and most important is to calm down and not to panic. An overwhleming amount of the time will few ever see a handful of posts lost in the millions of rubbish that consumes Twitter/X, or whatever Elon Musk calls it these days. Some basics: 1) We haven't seen the...

    Grace period for time expiration for parking meters

    I was in Westchester on a sub-freezing day and almost got caught in the municipal parking lot with the same issue. The muni meter wasn't reading credit cards and then I had to figure out how the 'zone ' system worked in the municipal parking lot by going to the website, which was not easy to...

    Need help with fake medicare case

    So help is needed to come up with damages? My suggestion would be to watch South Park and watch what happens to Kenny and apply it to real life. You can also come up with a whole group of terrible things that can happen on a trip to foreign islands with powerful people and coming home with new...

    A tiny amount of trash of only 7-9 or so small napkin sized items were found on my sidewalk's soil in NYC. Is the ticket justified?

    If you don't have a daily sweeping routine to show, you don't have a defense. In my case I had neighbors who witnessed cleaning performed and I obtained an affidavit. In addition, the primary area in issue of the garbage location was the 18" into the street area in front of a residential home...

    A tiny amount of trash of only 7-9 or so small napkin sized items were found on my sidewalk's soil in NYC. Is the ticket justified?

    Agree with the above, especially if it's your storefront. Your possible defense to arriving after the DoS does to observations such as 'contents of ash tray' which makes it appear that someone emptied their car in front of the store is to broom and sweep. I'm assuming that their priority is...

    A tiny amount of trash of only 7-9 or so small napkin sized items were found on my sidewalk's soil in NYC. Is the ticket justified?

    Agreed. There appear to be doorways next door so it's possible, although not likely, that the summonses could have been imposed on them as property owners. I disagree about the residence issue. Look at the maximum fine of $300. Per my discussion with the Department of Sanitation, the fine goes...

    In the state of Pennsylvania, is it illegal for an employer to blacklist a former employee?

    @Leejmusic - I can appreciate your frustration more than you realize, but perhaps you should dial it back a bit and take a few moments to contemplate what was written and the unfortunate reality that exists. What @zddoodah says is not only true, but the perspective you convey presents a very...

    A tiny amount of trash of only 7-9 or so small napkin sized items were found on my sidewalk's soil in NYC. Is the ticket justified?

    If this is a ticket for a residential home (such as a house), I've argued that it is an inherently a 'bogus' regulation that it's about time the Department of Sanitation did away with once and for all. Follow up question: What time did this violation take place? Might it be 8:36am as per the...

    Woman gets no prison time for stabbing her boyfriend over 100 times

    This decision is extremely disturbing. What kind of precedent does it set when one can claim that they didn't appreciate the potential impact of drugs? What is the difference between this and young drinkers who claim not to realize how intoxicated they may have actually been as a result of not...

    A tiny amount of trash of only 7-9 or so small napkin sized items were found on my sidewalk's soil in NYC. Is the ticket justified?

    Coincidentally, I happen to have a significant amount of experience in this area and won two summonses against New York City Department of Sanitation at OATH - the Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings whose website you can find here: Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings 1) What...

    Covered Drainage Culvert

    I happened to come across this older thread of ours while researching a problem we are currently encountering under New York law. The issue deals with the sidewalk area between the sidewalk and the street in front of a property. This area, sometimes called the "service lane" (and in other areas...

    Comment by 'Michael Wechsler' in article 'Are Song Titles & Lyrics Protected by Copyright or Trademark Law?'

    Anna, I just noticed your older comment. It's impossible to say without seeing the words, context, etc. Generally speaking, unless it's a very strong trademark (Coca Cola), a two word phrase could be difficult to protect. There is no real ability to provide further insight other than general...

    I'm sorry to hear about your dispute - these things can happen. Any decent attorney will tell you that it's impossible to give you any type of useful advice without knowing the full situation, having a proper consultation to obtain essential facts, etc. I've seen many master services agreements...

    Business Debt, Collections Bad debt collection out of state

    Many people don't realize that debts that have been challenged in court and judgments issued to a plaintiff can be enforced in another state. For example, if a debtor lived in New York state and lost a judgment in civil court to a plaintiff, the plaintiff can file or "perfect" the judgment in...

    Threat of debt collection by internet scammers

We don't know the exact details of what happened and can't provide any thoughts as to whether it may be more or less likely that the contract was the result of fraud. Consider: Fraud...
