    Consumer Law, Warranties another verbal agreement thread...

    Well, it is not quite that easy, but this is what is meant: Normally, when you make an oral agreement to sell, this is binding. Under the Statute of Frauds and the Uniform Commercial Code any agreement to sell goods worth more than $ 500 needs to be in writing to be enforceable. That means, your...

    I don't know about the illinois rules, but a conviction for a crime of moral turpitude can and probably will be a very big problem for bar admission. You should definitely consult an attorney and try to get this thing resolved as positively as possible, and then you would have to contact the...

    Premises Liability Motel reponsible for burglary?

    It depends on the circumstances and any laws and agreements. First of all you would have to find out what your state's law says about the liability, especially since this was a long term rental agreement and not your typical "motel stay." Then you would have to look if you signed any agreement...

    Any rights?

    This is difficult to answer with the information given. As it looks, there never was a contractual agreement that would make "Dee" the owner of the land. But there must have been some kind of agreement to let her (and you) enter the land and put the mobile home onto it. This will probably be the...

    How did you pay for paypal? If you hopefully paid for the paypal charge with your credit card, make a credit card chargeback. Paypal usually is not helpful at all in these kind of disputes, but the credit card companies are.

    Sex Crimes, Sex Offenders Requirements of a sex offender

    As far as I know, the answer is no to all your questions. May be some day a court will find that it was unreasonable for one of the people you listed not to have told, but I am not aware of any such decision yet.

    cosigner served summons

    an assault charge? I don't quite understand on what this summons is based and what is charged here. But since you have been officially served you definitely want to avoid a default judgment, so you should consult an attorney and have him explain to you what is going on there.

    Alcohol & Drugs: MIP, MIC, Intoxication son arrested on bogus warrant

    This is not legal advice, you need to discuss this with a criminal defense lawyer, but I can give you an idea about the law: What seemed to have happened here is this: The police officer received the message from his computer that there was a valid arrest warrant out for your son. The police...

    Arrest, Search, Seizure, Warrant illegal search - consent, probable cause, miranda rights

    Hey, this is a good one that surely will go to the Supreme Court: The search was illegal because the cop did not wear his hat. This will write criminal procedure history. OK, enough kidding. Actually, even if the cop had been wearing underwear only that would not influence the issue if the...

    Consumer Law, Warranties Verbal Contract Broken, Any Recourse?

    Probably there is some recourse. Either you can prove the contract, which of course might be difficult, or at least you can recover quantum meruit, which basically means that you are entitled to the fair value of your services if the other party should have known that you want to be paid for it...
