    speeding ticket

    You should get a copy of not only the receipt for the speedometer being fixed but also for the estimate which happened before you received the summons. You also may want to make mention that you admitted to the officer about the speedometer and pointed out that you traveled at the accepted rate...

    Can you be fired for giving 2 weeks notice

    If your son's employment is at-will, then it is likely the employer can terminate the employment at any time for no reason at all. The "2 weeks notice" thing is more of a fantasy that many have created in their minds based upon written contracts that do contain such clauses. In an at will...

    Real Estate Agent commission

    I don't know what the deal was that you made with the agent. Was it verbal? It should have been in writing and it will be for the agent to prove what that agreement was. Your actions do dictate that there seems to be some long term agreement but I'm not sure that meant that you had to pay the...

    Tenant injured in rental house fire, who is liable?

    First, if you had continuous access to the closet for the hot water tank then I might think you would be hard pressed to say that your landlord or one of his employees was at fault here. It is in your control and for you to prove that the landlord or his agent/workers left the can. Second, I...

    Email/verbal contract

    I'm sorry to hear about your problems on ebay but my best advice is to really think about what is going on before you part with your money. To begin, eBay stated that the auction was canceled for undisclosed reasons -- that should have given you a clue that perhaps it would not be a good idea to...

    Consumer Law, Warranties services provided under verbal contract

    That's a good question. I would say that the plumber should have given you notice that it was more than the $1,800 when it became known to him. His failure to do so may cost him the extra $350 and I'd say that it's a fair bet he'll never see the money in court -- provided that there aren't any...

    Arrest, Search, Seizure, Warrant Illegal Search????

    This is different than a search by a public official. What do you mean by search you? Did you refuse? What was the reason given? Either way, have you suffered substantial damages that might make a case worthwhile?

    Sexually harassed by 5th grade teacher?

    NYCLEX is right on the money. This was a serious error in judgment and perhaps there is some concern. But you may want to take care with what you choose to present if fifth grade was a while ago for numerous reasons, not the least of which is credability. How old are you, if we can ask?

    Online Airfare Purchase/ Fraud

    NYCLEX's post is a good one although it is highly doubtful that there is a long arm statute that will allow you to sue in small claims, unfortunately. It is always good to pay via credit card for online purchases for the reason of fraud as you would likely be protected in a way you could not...

    Ebay Slander?

    It seems like NYCLEX has hit the nail on the head. There is a saying that "truth is the ultimate defense to defamation" and it is with regard to that charge since it requires a false statement by definition. There are some states that have casting in a false light statutes but they are few and...

    Sure looks like it. Seems like there is also good reason to do the search plus there was his consent.

    Potential Class Action Lawsuit

    We are considering doing the same. This is happening with several companies that have done something similar such as radiate.com and another company I can't remember offhand that I believe ends with a dash U (-u) like know-u or target-u or something like that. They were notorious for a while and...

    Is the Landlord Responsible for Damages

    This is really a question of fact. To begin, what exactly was the problem? I'm assuming the water heater was the problem but it being 30 years old doesn't say anything itself. Was it in a condition that required repair and it was neglected? Was it in a reasonably good working condition and some...

    ? Defamation ?

    The coworker's complaints are likely defamatory if her statements were false and your boss shared the statements with a third person, which is likely. In this instance, it would seem that your best bet would be to write an email to your boss and HR department vehemently denying the allegations...

    Landlord slander, libel, defamation, and discrimination due to a disability

    I'm sorry to hear about your situation. I'll try to address your quesitons: 1) I do not believe you have a case for defamation, invasion of privacy or discrimination. For defamation you need to have a false statement that is communicated to a third person and there is no false statement...
