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

    Because it will take time and money to fight and eviction, and you might not be successful. Having an eviction on your record can cause all sort of problems. Step 1: Keep property management as happy as possible. Because it's better than being homeless or in emergency housing. Step 2...

    Can my landlady really do that?

    Can she? Obviously, yes, since she did. Legally, can she without consequences? No. Report to the police AND contact the ASPCA. Fight animal cruelty, 866-601-SPCA What she can be charged with varies, depending on how her actions resulted in your dog's death. For example, there is specific...

    Insurance company trying to frame me for causing accident can i sue?

    No legal advice, just personal observations. I have been in a 3 car accident while sitting at a stop light. It felt like there were two impacts, even though it was clear that the dizzy driver that hit the car behind me was the only one at fault. (It was apparently not her first time, as she...

    Criminal Trials, Hearings How can we postpone

    Would you prefer a lawyer unfamiliar with the local court? Of actively disliked by the Judge? It's actually better to have a lawyer has a positive relationship with colleagues. The dude my brother shot in self defense during a home invasion had no history of violent crimes, just drug charges...

    Use of HOA Tennis Courts by Renter

    So what? Whether or not the courts are actively used. What is relevant is that they are in a neighborhood governed by an HOA. Not a good look for you. You are... not pleasant to be around. You are not a resident, and you offended a resident. By your language here, I am sure that you...

    Use of HOA Tennis Courts by Renter

    Are you there recreationally or as a volunteer coach? You've admitted already that you aren't a resident. While there is probably not a problem with residents bringing a guest to play a match, you may be seen as making yourself too at home. How many nights/week do you stay there? Are you...

    Tenant seeking possessions years after eviction.

    I suspected as much. I could sort of understand it if he had a substance abuse issue at the time and was now sober, but the fact that he's asking for information rather than offering contrition tends to seem at best odd. Just because he has no legal basic for recourse doesn't mean he won't...

    Justice System, Police, Courts If this were your case, what would your next move be?

    Alrightio. I think you need to take a step back, breath deeply, and put on some calm, healing music. What you can do to help your husband: 1) STOP posting potentially identifying details about his case publicly. 2) Get a few initial consults with lawyers in the area to see if any of them...

    Tenant seeking possessions years after eviction.

    It depends on what your goals are. Legally, this is way past tense. However, this person may be someone who is finally shaping up after whatever mess they had been in. (Health issues, addiction, trouble with the law, homelessness, etc.) If you have reason to believe that this person is...

    holds harmless

    Well, you can choose to forgive someone else. Just because you have grounds to hold someone liable doesn't mean that you have to sue them. You can choose not to sue someone. However, you cannot force someone else forgive you. *Demanding* that someone forgive you decreases the likelihood that...

    Hacked emails used in custody battle

    Maybe. Maybe not. Sounds like someone is trying to blackmail you. Which is a crime. Look up Indiana Section Code Section 35-45-2-1 and Indiana Section Code Section 35-45-2-2. If you have a lawyer for your custody stuff, share the information with them. If you do not currently have a...

    Fraud, Embezzlement, Bad Checks When a family "dines and dashes", who is it normal to actually arrest?

    Let me get this straight: the entire group knowingly left with paying?! Everyone who participates sucks. As to who is going to be on the legal hook, this depends on who is identified.

    Shoplifting, Larceny, Robbery, Theft Detective contacted me about swapped barcodes

    I think that ship has sailed. We're talking multiple stores, in multiple jurisdictions. In addition to a criminal defense attorney, OP should consider getting therapy. If there is an underlying mental health issue, showing willingness to get help could help OP.

    What am I entitled to if tenant doesn't carry out full term of lease?

    I would strongly suggest that you consult a local lawyer, since you apparently couldn't manage to download and use a standard lease for your state. Otherwise, your fate is dependent on your tenants lacking the assertiveness to put up a fuss.

    Landlord didn't use legal name on lease

    Unless the "alternate spelling" could reasonably be argued to cast ambiguity as to the identity of who signed it, this is a minor detail not worth focusing on. If she is authorized to act on behalf of the irrevocable trust, either as a trustee or as an authorized agent of the trustee(s), then...

    Busted For 1¢ Bank Robbery

    My thoughts exactly. He didn't want to really do anything harmful, but he did want the security. Hopefully he gets the help that he needs, and that he is open to receiving it.

    First Paycheck, What Do?

    Whether you *need* to file taxes depends on how much you earn. There is no penalty for not filing if your income is low enough that you do not owe income taxes. However, if you do not file, you will also not get a refund if you are owed one. You do not need a tax lawyer. If all of your...

    Must a wife's maiden name be used on estate documents?

    Also if there are other people in the family with the same or similar name. My sister in law and paternal grandmother shared the same first name, and my mother's middle name was a variant. Perhaps that's why my paternal grandfather explicitly mentioned his daughter in law and granddaughter in...

    What happens when you emancipate a disabled child?

    Has your child graduated from high school? If a child is still enrolled in high school when they turn 18, CS is supposed to continue until they graduate or turn 19, whichever happens first.

    Contacting my ex-wife's significant other.

    What makes you think that she hasn't told him already? The only one that you will make look bad is yourself. Just because she accused you doesn't mean that she will accuse anyone else. Because, you know, maybe no one else has been as crappy to her as you. Vindictive POS much? You are...
