They can implead site B as being the responsible party. However, if Site A promoted itself as you say, it would seem that it put its own foot in its mouth since Site B may have disclaimers up front and Site A is claiming it is telling you the truth and may have no good defense in this action...

You may want to contact an attorney. You may have a case for slander. However, in talking to your attorney you will have to be extremely honest as to whatever detrimental aspects regarding your employment that there may be, if any, against yourself. Slander is always a difficult case. The...

This seems to be more of a financial question. Off the cuff, one would think that some type of equity loan would be in order -- not necessarily from the house that you have trouble with, but from the other house or via some other assets that you may own. I don't think there is any legal...

I think someone here did write to PHPNuke but they declined any of the legal interaction. I hear that FB is very particular with what he does and he likes to be in control of everything. Why don't you send a request to the contact person who wrote the legal stuff. I think it is in the...

I'm not sure I understand what is going on. If it's as simple as you tried to pay by check but the check was stolen and attempted to be cashed, I'm not sure how you get to have a huge penalty attached. Regardless, the attempt to cash a stolen check should have been reported to the police so they...

You should look at the fine print. If you didn't know you had an injury then you couldn't report it. Additionally, you could argue that the date of the injury was this past Friday because continuing your work is what caused the injury. It's not like you had a fall at the workplace and that...

You probably won't be able to get assistance since the matter does not concern you directly. Pro bono assistance, if he qualifies, might be obtained from the local bar association.

Were you charged with possession? You don't need to be drinking to be charged with it. You need to look exactly at what you were charged with in order to think about your defense.

You might want to send a letter to the landlord stating that he has created the situation by allowing the tenants next to you to breach upon the quiet enjoyment of your property. This doesn't mean he couldn't rent the adjoining property, only that allowing what is happening is interfering with...

That's pretty significant -- a false claim of sexual harrassment would constitute defamation. It typically requires the following: 1) A false or defamantory statement 2) A communication to another person 3) Fault on the part of the defendant, at least to the degree of negligence (this...

Actually, you may want to have a consultation with each. If you are talking about such a large amount of money -- in the millions -- it would be ill advised not to invest money in a specialist in each area. You should ask each what they suggest and why. Don't settle for the short answer. Come to...

The earlier post is a good one. Are you being sued or is it merely a demand letter? Were you ever notified about the loan and the default or were you just served papers? Much depends upon how the credit card application was set up. You should send a cease and desist letter and hard...

I'm not sure I understand -- are you buying the land or you bought it? It seems like you bought it and that the seller has a lien on the land until you pay it off. Makes sense. You want to put a "lien" on the property for your improvements in case you default? What would happen would depend upon...

You should also seriously consider how the degree is perceived in general before you apply to law school. First, a law school admissions committee might not be as impressed with you in comparison to someone who got their degree in a more recognizeable fashion. This isn't to say Marla's post...

With regard to a demand letter, there are no real "boundaries" that are imposed except those in the ordinary course of lawful behavior. If you are inaccurate in the letter than that will come up in court! However, there is nothing wrong with saying that you'll sue him for what he owes and all...

I wouldn't worry so much and enjoy high school! You may want to get work as an intern in a law firm. That would provide you excellent firsthand experience as to what it is like in a law firm and whether you would like it there. After high school you can get a paralegal degree from a school that...

The rules of evidence sometimes disallow evidence that is not relevant that would simply be there to cast a bad light upon the defendant. For example, if a person was convicted of a crime for robbery once, it should be brought up again because a jury might think "once a thief always a thief."...

Hopefully it isn't too much money. I'd be more concerned about assets held in your name. Your wife, if she held property, would not be subject to the loan. However, your wages could be subject to garnishment. You may want to work this out as soon as possible, perhaps a payment plan now that it...

Those "get your degree quick" schemes should be investigated. There are some that allow you to buy a diploma -- you get even less than what you pay for. Some of the online programs are legitimate although I'm not sure of the perception with regard to graduate programs. Much would probably depend...

You may want to send him a certified letter, return receipt requested, demanding that he quit making false reports. You should tell him that any further false report will result in your taking him to court for harassment and filing a false claim. You may even want to send a certified copy to...
