    NYC salary question

    Not just NYC. New York Labor Law section 194-a states that "No employer shall . . . b. orally or in writing seek, request, or require the wage or salary history from an applicant or current employee as a condition to be interviewed, or as a condition of continuing to be considered for an offer...

    Other Criminal Charges & Offenses Dog bite

    OK...so you and the owner of the dog both live in some sort of apartment building or triplex or some other sort of multi-family residence. It seems like you and the dog's owner are roommates. The dog was, for whatever reason, not in the residence, and the dog owner wasn't home. A non-resident...

    Other Criminal Charges & Offenses Dog bite

    Criminally? I can't conceive of any crime that you might have committed. Civilly? Maybe. Washington appears to impose strict liability on a dog owner for injuries to others caused by a dog. However, I have a hard time believing that the circumstances you described wouldn't give rise to a...

    Privacy of tenant

    Here's what I think you intended to ask: "Is it legal for a maintenance worker hired by my landlord to take video in my home while I'm not at home?" If that's what you intended to ask, the answer is yes. P.S. In any future posts, it would be helpful if you made some effort to use proper...

    Revocable Trust Created By Spouse During Marriage (California)

    1. Impossible to determine based on information provided in this thread. 2. Review the title documents.

    I hit a pedestrian and fled the scene.

    1. Doesn't matter. 2. Yes.

    name of car/house policies

    Well...maybe it's past that point now, but at least consulting with a local attorney would be a good idea. When my sister died about 15 years ago, I (as successor trustee) retained an attorney to assist with the administration of the trust. I don't think trust administration is a good DIY...

    name of car/house policies

    So...it looks like this is at least the third thread you've started about the same general subject matter. It's better to keep everything together. I'm not going back to review the prior threads and see if there is relevant information there, but I did notice that there's a bunch of...

    name of car/house policies

    Yes. However, you or someone on behalf of her estate should have informed the insurer that she died. Did that happen? Listed where? What does "member of the house" mean. Homeowner's policies do not generally identify everyone who lives in the insured premises. Depends on what's going on...

    Life Estate Information

    You're going to explain better what this means. It is not possible for a person to be "placed into a life estate." I suspect what you might mean is that a relative ("O") executed a deed that gave you a life estate, with someone else being the remainderman. However, that's not at all clear...

    Is this a potential case for malicious prosecution and could I sue in small claims for malicious prosecution?

    $$$ (i.e., a financial loss - typically, it's the money you spent defending yourself, but that obviously isn't an issue in a small claims action). In a more extreme case, maybe. I haven't researched whether emotional distress type damages are available in a malicious prosecution case...

    Someone filing for probate other than family without families knowledge

    So...you've spoken with them? If not, how could you possibly know what they are and aren't aware of? And if you did speak with them, why didn't you inform them about the probate? I agree with this, but I can easily envision circumstances where that wouldn't be the case. Contact how? Was...

    A neighbor in apartment complex harasses with constant noise complaints and exaggerate the reality pushing property to evict us.

    If she were here, she'd ask this question: "why should I move just because my upstairs neighbors are unreasonably noisy." She'd also tell us that you're either lying or ignorant about the extent of the noise. My point is that no one here has any way of knowing who's right and wrong in this...

    Someone filing for probate other than family without families knowledge

    Lots of things might happen. Are you asking us to create a hypothetical? Is the person who initiated probate aware of the sisters' existence? You are obviously aware of both the existence of the probate and the sisters' existence. What is your connection to this situation? Have you made...

    Is this a potential case for malicious prosecution and could I sue in small claims for malicious prosecution?

    You could, but you'd lose because (1) you have no damages, and (2) "a cause of action for malicious prosecution cannot be grounded on institution of a small claims proceeding." Pace v. Hillcrest Motor Co., 101 Cal. App. 3d 476, 479 (1980). Abuse of process and malicious prosecution are two...

    Purchase & Sale Denial of Service Legal?

    I think what you're saying is that your company (let's call it "WD") previously provided service to another company (let's call it "DB"). WD discontinued service to DB because of unpaid bills. WD either sold the debt to a debt collector or retained the services of the debt collector to recover...

    Is there a noncompete law?

    Huh? You wrote that "it does have a non-compete part." I assume "it" refers to the offer. What does "have a non-compete part" mean? Does it mean that, if you accept the job offer, you'd have to sign some sort of non-compete agreement? And I have no idea what "a friend said they couldn't...

    Behind on debts planning on filing chapter 7 Pennsylvania

    I'm at a loss to understand how you think you can "get [and use] paper checks" without "us[ing] a bank." Regardless, there's no way anyone is going to be able to sue you and obtain a judgment before the end of October. What court date? Assuming you haven't been sued since you posted this...

    I made a mistake in filing Small Claims case, is it fixable or not?

    No. You preserved the SOL by filing in time. No.
