I am a Board member of our Homeowners Association. I've just discovered that a corporation has purchased a forclosure home in our neighborhood. The home has now been rented. The owner of the corporation is a local business attorney. He has not returned my phonecall pertaining to a problem...

Hopefully you have already done the following: A) Quit B) Filed a police report against your former boss for brandishing a firearm

Upon research I discovered the following which explains a lot, but if anyone else can add more info I'd appreciate it: Constitutional law forbids jailing people solely over fees and fines they cannot pay, but Florida officials argue that, technically, they are jailing people because they...

You are most likely charged as an accessory to the crime. Just because your friend got caught with the goods does not excuse you from the crime if you were the "look out". If it can be shown that you knew what your friend was doing and was helping, then you are just as guilty. This would all...

My 22 year old son received probation for credit card fraud (3rd degree felony). He is currently in jail due to violation of parole. He had been telling me that his probation officer was planning to violate him if he did not make payments to his court costs. My son had been looking for work...

PA is an "at will" state. No reason is necessary for the employer to terminate the employee. As long as the termination does not involve discrimination, it is legal. Termination due to circumstances surrounding a felony is not an area protected by discrimination laws.

Discrimination laws protect employment, housing, public education, voting, and federally assisted programs. Yet, I am unaware of any law that would prohibit a doctor from not providing services due to discrimination.

Until someone else with more legal knowledge comes along, here is my take on this: California is an "at will" state, meaning the employer may terminate an employee without cause as along as discrimination is not involved. Thusly, I would assume (unless you had a contract that said...

Steve, on what legal basis would you sue them? It is not a matter of if the teacher's tactics are in bad taste or not. It is a matter of answering the poster's question of, "Do I have any case against her or the school, such as terrorist threat, or harassment?" Based upon the supplied...

A "gash" doesn't sound like neglected maintenance, it sounds more like a malicious prank by a previous customer. Thus expecting punitive measures is probably not going to happen. I would suggest the angle of being a displeased customer and perhaps you might get a $100 gas card from the company...

If not a stoplight turning from yellow to red this had instead been a child in the middle of the road, would you have been able to stop in time? All drivers have had similar experiences at intersections. The experienced drivers know three things, 1) a green light doesn't mean to speed...

Though I am neither a judge or attorney, I felt your explanation of your son's experience was well put. It sounds like it was indeed more inexperience handling on gravel, and not intentional reckless driving. I would hope the charge would be reduced. It would be solely up to you should you...

I would send an invoice to your relative. Stipulate at the bottom of your invoice your verbal agreement, something to the effect..."Work requested by John Doe on Feb. 16, 2009". If your relative does not pay, then you may wish to sue for services rendered yet unpaid. You then need to decide...

Sorry, I doubt if you will find any dishonest people on this legal forum.

How were you forced? At gunpoint? You went because you had an issue to discuss. "Aggravate him". ???? What do you want to do? If you have a problem, the meeting is where you discuss it. You did not mention if this is a City or County commisioner's meeting. Though, that wouldn't matter. Ask...

I foresee this being a hardsell in court. If your relative is now reneging, then what proof do you have that an arrangement was ever agreed upon? Sure you did the work, yet relatives are "suppose" to do things for au gratis. Your labor could be viewed as a gift. You know differently, your...

You have left out much detail, yet the bottom line is "Yes you can still sue them". If indeed the fire and subsequent loss of your mobile home and truck were the result of attibutable negligence by the Park's owner, then you should seek a settlement" Why have you waited till now to do...

Your question is basically impossible to answer due to all the variables attached to each separate incident. Each individual officer has the ability to make certain judgment calls. For whatever unknown reason the officer decided there was not sufficient cause to arrest the neighbor for the gun...

I personally would insist on the total amount necessary to hookup to public sewer if available in the area plus the cost for shutting down the septic tank. Just curious, were you not surprised at not receiving a sewer bill for the past five months?

You would most likely be terminated due to your knowledge and participation regarding the deceptive timecard behavior. Nothing in your post represents a legal issue. This is all between you and your employer.
