    Time clocks at work

    Use of a time-clock is very acceptable as long as it is complete and accurate. Note the word "accurate". Many employees work on a fixed schedule that seldom varies at all. The employer may keep a record showing the exact schedule of daily and weekly hours and simply indicate that the worker did...

    help me and my dog might be homeless

    It is rather unfortunate what the media has done to a fine breed of dog. However, in your current situation there is a chance that either your dog or your apartment will become a sacrifice. Regardless to the fact that your landlord was aware of you owning a dog, because it was stated in the...

    Privacy invaded...

    For the most part I agree, but "invasion of privacy" is very similar to "trespass" in many aspects, if I'm not mistaken. I think you're begging the question here. As far as a (2) breach of my lease, it doesn't mention anything about other tenants' rights to access other apartments with or...

    Privacy invaded...

    I live in a small high-rise where everyone seems to know or know of everyone. A very serious occurrence happened today and I was wondering what options I have and what actions I have at my disposal to take. Here's the scenario: I was selling a set of car speakers to a guy down the hall (Mr...

    nonprofit restoration and city dispute of tax status

    You should know that law in NJ re: property tax exemption holds that unless a property is currently being used for its tax-exempt activities, it is taxable. Example: a tax-exempt group is rehabilitating an old structure to be used as a homeless shelter. During the period of the rehab, the...

    Being taken to court for custody

    Is the father of any kind of threat to the children? If so, an order of restraint can be obtained from your local law enforcement agency. If you choose this option, I strongly recommend that you are 100% in the right. If you try to make stuff up to fit your need it can quickly backfire and work...

    Hospital billing dispute

    At a point where a debt collector feels there is a chance of complete loss, they are at their most negotiable point. In most cases, like you mentioned, the collection agency has bought the debt for significantly less than the original amount owed. If the original amount owed is paid to the debt...

    Problems with a Chiropractor

    I agree with the law professor 100%, but would also obtain a history from your insurance company based on average bills, etc. On the flip side of digging, many people have a very hard time 'digging' into the practices of chairopractics. Because of a rather recent surge in 'alternative...

    Harassment, Stalking, Misconduct Harrassment/?

    The person calling 911 (presumably 911 - only reasonable way to summon emergency services) is obviously not using your phone line to call. The 911 operators have very, very accurate information on every call regardless to user-set limitations. The responding police officers have that same...

    new rent applies one month after the exsisting lease expires?

    Have you contacted the landlord and asked why this is? If it's a company of that size, I'm sure they could have made a mistake of 1 month. At the same time, how would a NYSE corperation gain from the fluxuation in your rent? The amount gained from you would essentially be un-noticed by a firm of...

    law school/education question.

    I would like to be very frank in replying to the original questions. If you have 2 years under your belt, you have 2 years to go. If you went to a junior college, there should be a university near enough that works hand in hand with that junior college. As for the "buy-a-degree" deals and...

    Bills $$$

    nooks & crannies Significan things to look at when dealing with hospitals, doctors, and debts: 1. gain an itemized bill of EVERYTHING. If they can charge you for it, they were charged first and have to have a price available. This will cover the physical or tangable aspect of your costs...

    What can I do?

    In regards to your second point, I think you could look at 'victim' as an equal proximate cause of the injury. If you fall, you can't blame the ground for hitting you. I'm very familliar with "eggshell plaintiffs". One of the most common scam attempts by these types is the, "I can't feel my...
