    Lawyer Jokes Set 1

    It seems that there's a fence between Heaven and Hell, which had fallen into disrepair. St. Peter sought out Satan. "Hey, Satan, it's your turn to fix the fence. The big guy says it looks awful. Get it done." "I like the way it looks," Satan answered. "I'm not doing anything." "You have...

    sewer line rot

    Highly doubtful. In certain instances latent defects or issues that are concealed by the seller (termites) might be actionable. Typically the law of the land is that you get what you get and check it out first, inspect it, and then be happy with it.

    property rights

    That's a tough question, especially with regard to easements. You allowed him to use your property for years and it might be long enough to qualify as an easement by prescription (a right to use the property) although this is a good question whether leaving junk qualifies. If the removal isn't...

    Please help soon!

    What kind of ownership do they have? If it is a joint tenancy (each owns undivided shares) then it is a bit of a mess. Technically, all three have to agree in order to convey title. Your mom and aunt can just as easily make trouble for him. There are legal remedies but they might as well talk it...

    Tree Limb Removal

    The easiest way is to speak to your neighbor first and hopefully have him pay for the removal. In addition, if you can both agree amicably it fosters a better relationship. By law, your local ordinance is likely the law that would apply here.

    Painting myside of a wall

    I don't see any way that your neighbor can make you pay for half of the fence. I'm not sure about whether you had a right to paint the wall or put up a wall to abut his. I hope you got the name of the person you spoke to at the city office. If it were my I'd consider it just a worthless threat...

    HOA Covenants and Restrictions

    If there was no restriction then there was no restriction. To do so otherwise could deprive you of due process under the law. I would doubt this will happen and there will probably be exceptions for existing structures.

    cops always called

    How do you know about the slander? The best way is to talk it out. If you can't, you may want to send a letter demanding she cease and desist from the harrassment and the slander or else you will be forced to take legal remedy. Writing usually helps move things along because people take the...

    Harassment, Stalking, Misconduct Phone calls

    Rousing rabble usually is to begin to involve the news media. First is that you might want to let know those concerned that you are going to do this since they have refused to assist you and you have certified letters to prove it. Then you take your certified letters to the press and media and...

    Psychiatrist Records in criminal case

    Is this the DA or an assistant DA? Note that testimony given under hypnosis is usually not admissible in court. The law depends upon which state the case is being tried.

    Can I take someone to small claims court for mutiple suits

    I don't know what a lawyer can do for you and it may be costly. This is a problem of collections and enforcement.

    Property

    Such an answer would probably be determined via divorce proceedings. Otherwise, from my understanding he would have to go to court to attempt to evict you. It is costly and probably something he does not want to do, even if he could.

    Defamation of Character?

    You may want to call them back and record the conversation. You could have a case against them for defamation and extortion as well -- perhaps you may want to report this to your department of labor and potentially the police (who may not want to bother with this.) The biggest problem comes down...

    Alcohol & Drugs: DUI, DWI DUI in California

    I think it stays on your driver's record for 7 years. It will stay on your record indefinitely unless you have it expunged.

    Preparing for the LSAT

    Best thing to do is get a book on good practice tests and just do them. You may want to take a course because the test is critical and there is no curve for those who do and those who don't take a course.

    Wow... you really have done research if you can cite International Shoe! :) Where is the web site hosted? If the provider is out in CA and you have actively worked on the site, it is possible (although very unlikely) that you will be considered to have availed yourself of doing business in...

    Taking Occupancy of Duplex

    It would bring an unequitable result if you were able to oust the tenant just by purchasing the duplex... unless there is a clause in the lease that provides for such in the event that there is a change in ownership. I doubt that this is the case and so you will probably take the property...
