Do you know what is the statute of limitations? The law realizes that if people don't think an issue is worth filing a lawsuit within a reasonable period of time then the court's time would probably be wasted hearing it. The memory of witnesses fade. Hence if you don't take action - even if...

1. Nobody is preventing you from inquiring. No one can tell you what the consequences may be from picking up a package whose history and circumstances are unknown to us. You haven't disclosed what activities you performed so as to be remunerated. You want the package - go get it. 2. Did you not...

You don't know whether you should pursue $50,000 of cash that you claim is rightfully yours? Please, don't treat us as if we were so naive. Right now your question is probably moot. First you should be using your tracking number to see if Fedex still even has it in their system and what the...

These are the types of complicated questions that legal counsel cannot answer in any forum, even if we have people present to shed some insight. You have so many variables going on that it would be impossible and completely irresponsible to try to give answers. There is a great deal of what...

It's not such a bad question in the general sense. The bottom line - it's within the discretion of the district attorney whether or not sufficient evidence exists to prosecute a crime. A grand jury may be assembled to determine whether sufficient probable cause exists to prosecute a suspect...

This seems like a very informal, poorly drafted agreement that is open to a great deal of interpretation. And since there are probably so many facts that might be needed to provide further insight as to the intentions of the parties, it would likely be impossible to say for sure what the final...

You have to keep in mind the purpose of the sex offenders registry and the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA). It isn't just a list of people who committed a crime but considered a matter that is a public safety issue. From my understanding there is a belief that such crimes...

Unfortunately this may take a while. You're probably best served retaining an attorney because this is a complication which will most certainly hold up a short sale and any sale of real estate. And since time is of the essence and the amount of money at stake likely to be large, speaking to your...

OK. So reporting is all you can do. Prosecution is in the discretion of a government prosecutor.

You were worried about incriminating yourself for what? When you say that nobody was hurt, mislead or mistreated that doesn't mean the money wasn't payment for something illegal - such as payment for home grown marijuana. I think you're looking at this the wrong way. Your package may have even...

$150 is a lot of money and these texting while driving cases are taken very seriously. Perhaps you can get the ticket dismissed, we don't know. Showing up and pleading "not guilty" will enable you to obtain as much of a remedy as possible. Technically on the law it seems like you may have a good...

So... here's why this situation makes anyone with an ounce of common sense skeptical. 1) If what you were doing was perfectly legal and involved no wrongdoing, why didn't you disclose what was in the package, especially if it was lost and involved an insurance claim? If the package was lost -...

Good luck explaining that to UCSIS. Immigration has heard this story thousands if not millions of times. They are naturally skeptical and for good reason. This issue is not new and was common with mail order brides who send photos and letters and meet for the first time, destined to be together...

I don't think anyone is a sucker - more likely you were very fortunate. The fact that there is a sidewalk across the street doesn't necessarily mean that what you parked on isn't intended to be used by pedestrians as a sidewalk or that it is a legal parking spot. It's quite possible that the ADA...

And it's very easy to obtain an EIN (Employer Identification Number) from the IRS. And you can obtain one very quickly.

Cyberbullying and harassment that constitutes a crime may only be prosecuted by a district attorney in criminal court. A civil wrong that would result in money damages would need to be addressed in civil court and would likely cost you more to prosecute than you'd receive. The Nevada State...

Look up the word "catfish" in an urban or slang dictionary. The genius of such a scam is that the victim is and should be afraid of the information becoming public. The perpetrator rationalizes that he/she isn't such a wrongdoer and won't appear to be such a predator because he/she is only...

I haven't seen the responses but agree. We don't know the details but you'd be losing your case based upon the facts. The dumpster could be 1/10th full and be overweight or completely full of cotton-like waste and be underweight. The issue was how much weight was in the dumpster. You appear to...

I was driving back from JFK airport and wondering how long it will be until the city installs a camera to take photos of vehicles driving on the shoulder of the road to beat the traffic. When the owner of a vehicle gets flagged (such as a rental company), if the choice is to give up the driver's...

It's possible that the money was held in a trust. I'm guessing the step-father was the boy's guardian (not guarantor.) The first step would be to ask the guardian and other research can be performed to track where the money went (such as contacting the life insurance company with information...
