Hi guys, hopefully we can find another topic given where this is going. I really loathe to shut down any conversation and have leeway for non-legal discussion. Politics have become a very challenging, divisive subject and polarity feels like it's at its apex (at least I can't figure how the...

This is very true. In fairness, I think people assume they will receive copies since that is what one may expect from the norm and that obtaining a copy at any time is presumed to be not too difficult since it's the agreement both had signed.

I think that many termination cases there are defensive stances which employers take which feel like they are hiding something. Although reading more on this topic regarding prolonged bench duration and the assumption that you were working for some technology consulting company, e.g. doing...

By the way you're describing the situation, it seems that the attorney is willing to take your case to review your medical records and send the dentist a letter and hope it prompts a settlement. Getting to the heart of your question, people and insurance companies don't typically just pay...

Very sorry to hear about your troubles. Recently I've heard some awful custody claims as well and these types of games disgust me. In addition to the good advice above regarding retaining a criminal law attorney, I'll say this much about your wanting to go to the news. It is understandable to...

I thought this was an interesting high profile case of online fraud via catfishing. It was reported that a lawsuit was filed in the Eastern District Court of Texas by a healthcare CEO, Kelli Christina, against actor Brad Pitt and his Make it Right foundation claiming that she was defrauded...

Without seeing the entire contract it is impossible to come to any firm legal conclusion. There may very well be other clauses which will define or limit the scope of what this may mean.

Might just be a colloquialism, e.g. a business partner with whom you're working in the form of an incorporated business.

I don't know if it's the case here but I've had people approach me with potential "cases" of malfeasance where they didn't actually put the pen and ink on the paper but put forward the action into motion. When the malfeasance was discovered there was a backtracking on whether consent was truly...

From my experience, combating forgery in court may require the use of a report and/or testimony of a handwriting analysis expert. But that isn't the issue here. The issue here appears to be one of consent. I am not sure I understand your argument. If you provided your partner with consent to...

Very interesting post on classic law enforcement entertainment.

I appreciate you're just trying to earn some money but there isn't going to be a way to avoid the important survey requirements if you want to earn income. On a legal level, the terms of any offer apply which you must accept them or there is no agreement, even if you fulfill just part of the...

Good question. It appears this may have been an error or anomaly and the Virginia Boar of Elections has made it clear that you can have a witness, but failure to have one will NOT invalidate your ballot. See here in the large box: Absentee and Early Voting - Virginia Department of Elections

I can feel the ribbing from here in NYC. It's what they often call it in Manhattan, probably because these places on the Upper East can resemble spas that probably far surpass my own gym. :D And if anything at all happens to their pets - and I mean anything - the liability is always on the...

I agree with @zddoodah regarding the definition of negligence and also what can be deemed damages regarding a dog. But special service dogs are a different type of dog whose costs can far surpass just a few hundred dollars. With regard to digging, this is not unique canine behavior and it's...

I'm very sorry to hear about the loss of your emotional support dog. I can certainly understand how terrible you must feel. In summary, what you describe might be considered negligence but answers to these types of questions are fact specific to your unique set of facts and circumstances. The...

If what you suggest were true, lawyers would certainly enjoy the requirement to be paid by the hour for all communications between plaintiff and defendant. That said, if you have requested that they contact you only through your attorney but yet they persist with repeatedly sending a barrage of...

Interesting and good for use in a Hollywood film. The IEEE is one of my favorite sources given my academic work and someone actually reviewed the Ring security drone. The article is here: Ring Security Drone

Yep, I replied to one of the posts without full context as I was already working on a matter involving small claims court and was curious and shared my experience here. Thanks for the additional information about the CA courts - I may have posted the wrong link which covered all California...

Small claims courts have very specific rules about subject matter and personal jurisdiction. They are a subset of the broader constitutional limits. Many explicitly define those limits , such as the possibility that you may need to sue the defendant in the county of the defendant. The document...
