My daughters husband bought a work van last week from a guy who lives around the block. The cops came knocking on the door tonight with a woman and a man and a cop, saying the van had been stolen by the woman's other son, and he sold it while she was away. My daughter's husband bought it for $900.00, payed for inspection, liscence plates, and lettering for the side of the van for his business. He only wrote for tax purposes that he payed $500.00 and the check was made out for cash cause the guy who sold it to him wanted it that way. Can u please tell me if he has any recourse for all this mess? He still has the van, but they want it back. The title was forged by this guy as well.I need some legal advice from a lawyer please.?
I'm not a lawyer but I've been to court. I'm pretty sure your husband can sue the guy in Small Claims court. Your husband can get a copy of the check made out to cash from his bank, show the court the forged title, and prove his case that way based on the dates of the two docs. He also has a witness---you. If his mom turned the guy into the police get a copy of the police report.I need some legal advice from a lawyer please.?
He can sue the guy who sold it to him for the money back but if the guy has no money you won't be able to collect any money.

If the woman and her son want to pay your son the $900 back to keep their family theif out of jail, agree to it. Otherwise, tell them they get their van back if the police refer it to the state attorney for criminal prosecution and they have to agree to help prosecute him. Chances are under those circumstances they will come up with the $900 and figure out how to collect it back from their son.

Legal advice. I have 2 auto contracts with the same bank. They have different terms, rates, dates, etc.?
If I make a payment for one vehicle, can they take some of that payment to pay the other vehicle without my authority? The contract states one loan per contract and it cannot be combined. What is unlawful what they did?Legal advice. I have 2 auto contracts with the same bank. They have different terms, rates, dates, etc.?
THATS A LAWSUIT! NOW I NEED 2 CARS AND AINT MISSN A DAYS WORK. THEYLL BE LIKE YOU GOT 2 CARS AND ILL BE LIKE OK THANKS AND REPLAY THE RECORDINGLegal advice. I have 2 auto contracts with the same bank. They have different terms, rates, dates, etc.?

If you have two contracts covering two different automobiles, then your payments for the two are completely seperate. Without seeing the contracts it will be difficult to give you a specific answer, but in general, they can and should be treated differently.
When you make payments, make sure you always send the payments seperately, and write the account number of the payment to which its to be applied on your check. Also, if you have a coupon book to send when making the payment, make sure you use the correct coupon.
If you are paying extra on one of the contracts, make sure you read the contract to determine if you're allowed to do that. Its rare, but some contracts do not allow for prepayment. Therefore, in the event of you overpaying, the bank may be automatically applying the overpayment to the second contract.
I suggest that after re-reading the contracts and if you believe the bank has applied the payments incorrectly, that you call or write to the bank and explain your questions to them. If you have more specific questions, you may need to contact an attorney licensed in your state. For a referral, contact your local or state bar association.

NEED LEGAL ADVICE! Who is liable and to which extent?
Neighbor has a pool, with an attached pool cover across the top. The residing children invited the neighbor children over to play. The residing children told the visiting children it was ';fun'; and ';okay'; to run across the cover. This kind of ';play'; occured during three seperate visits. The first visit the parent of the residing family was present and supervising this play. The second visit a parent was present but no supervision around the pool. The third visit (The visit the pool cover tore) There was no parent home or supervising. It was on that visit the pool liner eventually tore due to the burden of children running across the top. Upon discovery the residing parent has confronted the neighbor parents and is demanding full compensation.
The pool liner was ripped apx. 2 feet. Since then the cover has remained atop the pool and over a sweeper and has since ripped an additional 7 feet.
1.Who is liable?
2.To which extent?
3.Would this be a claim for Home owners Insurance?NEED LEGAL ADVICE! Who is liable and to which extent?
The resident of the pool home are liable. You say they are ';residing'; and that infers they do not own the home. If they are homeowners, it may or may not be covered depending upon their policy. If they are just residers, their rental policy may or may not cover it depending upon their policy. The neighbors are not liable. Everyone should thank God no one slipped beneath the tear and drowned. There is no way the ';residers'; can collect from the parents of the visiting children. Nor could the homeowners if that is what they are.NEED LEGAL ADVICE! Who is liable and to which extent?
I'm pretty sure CA has stringent ';attractive nuisance'; laws - the residing parents are lucky the neighbor parents aren't suing them for reckless endangerment.
That could so easily have been a tragedy. Both sets of parents should be grateful no child got caught beneath the liner and drowned and should take steps to ensure the children's access to the pool is restricted; and the residing parents should buy a new cover.
I doubt homeowners would cover it. The owner of the pool is responsible to replace it. It was unsafe %26amp; irresponsible to allow children to run on cover of pool. Someone was not thinking of the potential harm to a child caught under the pool cover. Children should be watched by responsible adults %26amp; unfortunately not everyone here was being responsible.
I, personally, would not even offer an apology. It would not have been torn if the children had not been taught to do it %26amp; then allowed to run across the cover. They are lucky it is not a manslaughter case instead of a torn cover.
If the residing parents allowed ';all'; the children to play this way, they should be liable. They are the *cough* adults and should set the ground rules so if they don't do that, why should anyone else pay for their stupidity?
And even if the neighbors paid something, they shouldn't have to pay for the whole thing since the other kids were involved in this, too. Plus, who knows how many times the kids who lived there ran across that when no other kids were present?
I think the neighbors could easily win this one in court. I sure wouldn't pay them a dime since they allowed the kids to play on it.
Children were playing unsupervised, ....and something got broken...that is the basics.
The adult home owners had whitnessed and condoned this behaviour before, so it is not unreasonable to believe it would continue to occur without their presence. The damage is likely caused from multiple children running accross over time. The straw is not responsible for breaking the camels back....the moron who allowed too much straw is responsible. In this case the moron is the adults who allowed the running accross the pool to begin with.
Not to mention, they actually opened themselves up to the possiblity of a liable suit, if one of the children had gotten hurt on their property.
They assumed all risk...

Legal advice on creating a web page?
Example: If I work for a company or am an ex employee of a company, and said company has a website (say mickeymouse.com) can I create mickeynouse,org and use it as a blog, or union organization tool? Am I infringing on any rights of the company known as mickeymouse.com ?Legal advice on creating a web page?
You can register ANY available domain name and use it for ANY legal purpose. A newspaper reporter, back in the day, registered McDonalds.com. Back then, they'd have had to sue him to get the name, and they might not have won. (Now it would be considered a trademark infringement, if the trademark was commonly known, not a common name [Kelly can be a trademark, but anyone could claim kelly.com] and connected to the same industry.)
Unless the company were somehow connected to unions, or you worked for IBM (they can claim any tld using ibm - ibm.org, ibm.aero, any new tlds, etc.), you'd probably be safe. The worst that would happen is that they'd get a court judgment ordering you to turn over ownership of the domain name. (They'd have to pay you for the remaining time on it.)Legal advice on creating a web page?
Well it depends. The internet laws are kinda fuzzy. If you did not put in your contract that its forbidden within a certain timespan to start activities which cross your companies ones you won't get into problems. They might not like it but there's nothing they can do.
You could create mickeynouse.com. It's a different name so you will be fine. You could make a sub-domain and call it something like mickeymouse.subdomain.com.

Is there anywhere I can get free legal advice from a real live person right now? online or on the phone?
A good lawyer will not offer anyone legal advice on the phone at all times of the day and night. You need to call a law office during office hours and schedule an appointment. You can look in the phone book for lawyers that offer free consultations. Again, I would not take advice from someone offering you at advice at 4:00 in the morning (only an example); it likely would not be good advice.Is there anywhere I can get free legal advice from a real live person right now? online or on the phone?
It's 3:30 AM where I live so most of the attorneys are not around. Many offer free consultations. Mine will occassionally answer a question on the phone, but will usually ask people to come in and visit with him.

Last Paycheck
Employers are not required by federal law to give former employees their final paycheck immediately. Some states, however, may require immediate payment. If the regular payday for the last pay period an employee worked has passed and the employee has not been paid, contact the Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division or the state labor department.
The Department also has mechanisms in place for the recovery of back wages.Legal Advice - Non Receipt of salary from previous employer?

Legal advice, could a bailsbondman sue you for the person you bonded out of jail if the skipped out on court?
Of course, that is the point! If you post the bail for someone and they skip, then the bail is forfeit. If you posted a portion of the bail amount, you now owe the full bail amount.Legal advice, could a bailsbondman sue you for the person you bonded out of jail if the skipped out on court?
By paying a small percentage of the bail to a bail bondsman, usually around 10%, the bail bondsman secures the release of the person from jail. The bondsman pays the rest of the bail themselves, so they take great care in making sure their client shows up for trial, otherwise they forfeit all the bail money they paid.
If the “skip” is not brought in to court, the bondsman stands to lose a great deal, financially. Therefore he or she may pay a bounty hunter a significant fee, depending on the size of the bond, in order to apprehend the defendant.
Unless the bond is secured by some type of property agreement with you, then the bondsman can not sue you.

Is there any such thing as free legal advice?
No.Is there any such thing as free legal advice?
Depends on how detailed of advice you want. All things can be found on the web and if you can locate the proper sites, is free. The problem seems to be - where to look/how to locate the desired information? Keep in mind, this will only give you general info and not specific info for your case.
The other thing you can do is seek 'legal aid'. Of course, this is only available if you cannot afford an attorney.
Good Luck.

Where can I get free legal advice in illinois?I need help fast!?

Your situation is very common in a divorce. In Lake county the legal aid is handled by Prairie State 800-942-3940 or the Lake County Bar Assn. 847-244-2140. You must have a certain income level and you may not get everything FREE.
BUT you already have an attorney so you may not qualify for that. Just because your attorney doesn't agree with you or gives you bad news does not mean she is ';no good';. Like I said in a divorce it is very very common to blame the attorney when things don't go as fast or exactly like the client wants. Perhaps you should but your efforts into working with your attorney on some of the more important issues in the divorce.Where can I get free legal advice in illinois?I need help fast!?
Go to your State's Attorney's Office. They should have a Domestic abuse unit that should be able to help you. You could go and get an Emergency Order of Protection from them, and names of Attorneys who could help you.
Being that he is a Stepson complicates matters, where is Bio mom...will she help?
Keep calling the police every time he calls and threatens you. It is needed documentation for your case.
How old is stepson?
What County are you in?
Call Prairie State Legal service. They are in the western burbs of chicago. They would also be able to refer you to other free services. You never said where in Illinois you live.
One thing I would do ( and have done) is to set up free consultations with 3 different attorneys in your area. Tell them your story in a concise manner as possible. Ask specific questions that further your understaning of your case.
Call protective services, the police and the INS. ALso, get away from him physically, stay with friends, parents, anyone who can protect you. Good luck and God bless.

Does anyone have legal advice in Utah? For criminal charges?
I was charged for dog attack and dog at large when in fact the other dog was at large and on my property then my dog jumped fence and got in fight with other dog on neighbors property. The other owner was not charged at all.Does anyone have legal advice in Utah? For criminal charges?
This would be misdemeanor offenses. The municipal court would have a prosecutor to represent the city or the other person. You will have to hire your own attorney. Only in Felony and Federal cases would a Court appointed attorney represent you. I'm sure there are some legal aid agencies that base your fee on how much you make. Look in you local phone bookDoes anyone have legal advice in Utah? For criminal charges?
If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed to represent you (public defender's office).
Tell the court you can't afford an attorney (if this is true).
Plus, your two scenarios are contradictory. Which one was it? Your dog jumped your fence and into a neighbor's property? If so, that's the reason why you were charged and not the neighbor.
Get an attorney.......looks like you are at fault......you dog got out..........sorry......

I'm in dire need of legal advice,can anyone help?
about 4 years ago my dad was taken for his home illegally %26amp; now we think the proprietor's borrowed monies from various banks w/no intention of paying them back so they'll foreclose on our property. Can they legally do that? Please won't anyone help me,please?I'm in dire need of legal advice,can anyone help?
Foreclosure should only be an issue if the money borrowed used your property as collateral. I don't see how 'the proprietor' would have title to 'your' property unless your father signed it over. A check of the courthouse records would let you know who presently has title. Does 'the proprietor' have title to 'your' property? If so, it's not your property anymore.
You need REAL legal advice. Foreclosure is serious business. If you can't afford an attorney, get in touch with your local Legal Aid Society. They will be able to tell you what your options are.
Good luck.I'm in dire need of legal advice,can anyone help?
Get a lawyer. Contact your state bar association. Even if you cannot afford one, the state bar will tell you where you can get free or very lost cost legal representation. There is no excuse for not getting professional help.

I need legal advice on writing a motion.?
Does anyone know how to properly write a motion for a new trial. I have to file one and really do not have money for attorney's fees and trying my best to do this on my own. I can go to legal aid but do not have the time because they have such a large case load and I am not sure if I could have time to see them. I would appreciate anyone with legal experience.I need legal advice on writing a motion.?
Filing the motion is only half the battle. You then have to argue your case before the judge. If you are having a difficult time filing the motion, it will be even more difficult to argue it.
I suggest you find time, and go to legal aid.I need legal advice on writing a motion.?
What you are asking someone to do is illegal. No one can tender legal advice unless they are authorized to do so. That, in the states, means the various Bar Associations. I agree, that most of these individuals are base and incontrovertible with regard to their ethical consternation. What you need to do is determine what forum you are filing this motion in, then go find a trustworthy lawyer,(ha ha ha ha, the lawyer laughs all the way to the bank). There are many pro se advisory locations out there on the Web. You have to determine the jurisdiction first, and then read the local rules for that jurisdiction. If you are unwilling or incapable of doing that, well then just blow it off. You are pissing up a rope.

My question is can she ';legally'; make me get my son that weekend? I have asked everyone i know to help me out but no one can watch him and i can't take him with me. The only problem i see is we signed in our custody agreement what days we would be responsible for.Can she still hold me to it?Divorced dad needs legal advice regarding visitation requirements?
No, she can't legally make you get your son any weekend at all. It's your choice to visit or not.
Since it's a work related issue, you have a few things to do. Send her a certified letter stating that you won't make it to that visit because your doing work stuff, and or find a family member who can take over while your gone.
She can try but if you have GOOD proof that you had work stuff they can't do ANYTHING to you.
If i was you, I would fine a babysitterDivorced dad needs legal advice regarding visitation requirements?
Poor kid.
Absolutely! If you don't show up she can file a contempt charge against you. Wouldn't one of your family members exercise your visitation for you? Can you switch your work issue?
If you are away due to WORK, she cannot force you to take your son. Tell her you cannot take him that weekend. She, in turn, doesn't have to give you a ';make-up'; weekend, either, but if she's a fit mother, she will. Time with your son benefits your son. Surely, you both realize this. Be sure to explain to your son why you cannot be there THAT particular weekend. Tell him you'll bring him a gift from wherever you are going (and do it). Call your lawyer and ask him this question, if you are uncertain.
No. Usually in joint custody it's the custodial parent whom if they didn't allow visitation would be in contempt of court, if the non custodial parent skips a visitation, then the visit is forfeited. You cannot make it up at another time.

In need of lawyer or legal advice for employee dealing w/ Disney?
At this point I would like to know Disneys policy for the employee and management to ';hang out';. This is not a sexual harrasment issueIn need of lawyer or legal advice for employee dealing w/ Disney?
I'm sure they have an employee handbook that spells out their policy on many issues, just ask for one and read it.In need of lawyer or legal advice for employee dealing w/ Disney?
Disney is a major corporation and the practice that you are referring to is fraternization.
Most major companies have very strict policies against it, and I would bet the last dollar in my pocked that Disney does.
This is a common and very legal policy.

Need legal advice with child whom is deaf living with biological father in Missouri?
This child's father has full custody but biological mother in Arkansas still has visitation rights. Recently child was placed in foster home without mothers consent/notification because of drug use in home. Does DHS in state of Missouri have this right without notification of other parent? Child was placed in home(Foster care does not know sign language, Mother was told that they can communicate with pen and paper)Need legal advice with child whom is deaf living with biological father in Missouri?
If the father had sole physical and legal custody, MO DHS probably can defend their action, though I suspect MO's regulations would require them to place the child with a relative if possible.
The unanswered question is, why was the mother's legal custody cut off, if it was?
Most deaf persons would regard having to use paper and pen to communicate as barbaric, but if there was no time to locate an Ameslan-speaking foster parent, it would be understandable. You do not state if the mother uses signing.
If possible, someone should get in touch with the lawyer appointed for the child, or get a lawyer to represent the child and another for the mother. Don't wait too long.

Hi I bought a puppy 6 months ago and was told by the owner that he was a Jack Russell . I got the owner to sign a receipt stating that it was a jack russell and that he was in good health etc : Which he is thankfully . However he isnt a jack russel terrier . I think and Im not 100% on this one . But I think he is a Airdale Terrier , Which grows to be alot bigger than youre average JR . What do you think I should do ?
I dont neccassarily want to get rid of my pup as he is lovely and I really dont know for sure what he is apart from he isnt a JR .But I wouldnt mind getting this Lady in trouble some how ? Advice please if you can thanksSome legal advice on my Puppy Please ?
not much you can do but you surley can sue her for fraud and false advertising that is fraud selling you a dog that is not that kind and advertising a jackrussel when its not one is also against the law it wont be mass amonuts but she could get slammed with a fat fine or a small amount of community service if she is a breeder she has to have a liscense to do so and that could be conviscated.. go and see legal aid or a lawer and see what you can do...Some legal advice on my Puppy Please ?
OMG!!!
You cant tell an AIREDALE from a JRT???
****WHY**** didn't you RESEARCH FIRST!!!
Besides being BLACK %26amp; TAN-JRT MUST BE more than 50% WHITE- an Aire PUP is TWICE or THREE TIMES the size of jrt ADULT!!! Just picked up an Aire last week that was 12 weeks %26amp; ***25*** lbs!
YOU got a MUTT/MONGREL,btw.
NOT an Aussie OR an Aire OR a jrt..a MUTT!
How could you possibly get these breeds confused? Even if you are talking Australian, they are not at all alike, not even the same color! Didn't you even look at a picture before you ran out and bought one?
What breed does it say on the AKC papers?
You *may* be able to take her to court, but will have to give up the dog.
IMO, if you run out and buy a dog with no thought whatsoever, you get what you deserve.
Tyke - ';You cant tell an AIREDALE from a JRT???';
Hard to believe, isn't it?

If you don't have breed-registry papers (AKC or even UKC for this one), then you will have a VERY hard time winning a legal battle over this one. If you do have such papers, then rest assured that your dog is what the breeder claims.
But it sounds as though all you have is that receipt. In that case, what the breeder signed was a receipt saying that to the best of her knowledge your dog is a jack russell. In order to take her to court over this, you would need to be able to show that she purposefully lied to you.
If you wanted a particular breed, you really should have gone through a registry-approved breeder. If you didn't, then frankly you cut corners. You paid for a dog, and a dog is what you got. Receiving a dog that is not up to your standards is a risk that you take. Unless you do want to get rid of your dog and HAVE to have a jack russel, then there is no point in pursuing this.
Also, your dog is still a puppy. Wait till he's grown if you aren't sure what he is. He might end up being a jack russell mix.
You could file with the small claims court. I am assuming that this breeder does not have a Kennel license, but there are also governing bodies for this. You can also call your state rep. (Depeartment of consumers affairs) You will need something from your vet first stating that it is not a JR.
Unless the dog is worth a lot of money no legal avenues are really going to be realistic for you I wouldn't imagine. Maybe breach of contract at best which would get you your money back (in exchange for giving her back the dog)
I reckon your best bet is to bad mouth her to friends and family, other breeders and at dog shows etc. Would probably do her a lot more damage in the long run! And it may even make her pay attention and decide to negotiate.
I am not a lawyer, but common sense says that if you don't buy from a registered breeder then you get what you get. These dumb *** people that you bought the dog from probably didn't lie to you on purpose, they just didn't know. You love your dog, he is healthy so don't sweat the small stuff.....
Does it really matter, you like the pup and will end up loving it. If your angry at the lady call/email or write to her and tell her so.. But don't be cross at the puppy (Not that it seems that your cross with the doggie at all)
1st. Go to your vet - you must go for his shots anyway - and ask to make sure what breed he is exactly, because you don't sound too sure, and this is essential in the case.
2nd. Keep the dog. We must not be racist with dogs, and especially since he is lovely, I don't think you should hurt the dog by abandoning him afterl all these months, let alone that he might end up unwanted or worse dead if you abandon him.
3rd. However, the seller misleaded you, so you can ask for some money back. I wouldn't try to get her into trouble, just ask for some money back, because gettoing her into trouble will not give anything to you. If seh refuses, then try to get her into trouble, but without getting the puppy into trouble or abandoned.
a vet will be able to tell you - jack russels come in many shapes and sizes though
well it's possible that he is a jr as they come in tri colour aswell,how old is your pup is he exactly 6months,if hes still quite small in height then he is proberly a jr or a crossbreed,airedales at 6months are tall and lanky and there coat is curlyish,they only come in black and rusty brown colour,theres no white markings.Jack russels arn't a kc registered breed because of the height and general apperance range so differently,so i think you will find it hard to get this lady in trouble as you have no where to take the complaint.Maybe the lady didnt realise they were cross breds which sounds most proberble in your case.But i would rest assured that i very much doubt that it is an airedale.Good luck
Unless your puppy was registered with the Kennel Club as a pedigree (and you received the registration papers as proof), you haven't really got a lot to go on.
Did you see both parents (or the mum at least) when you collected the puppy? You should always visit the kennel and meet the parents and any other dogs that have been bred there to get an idea of looks, temperament etc.
why do you wanna start trouble if you like the dog keep it and chill!!!
what ever you do please do not get rid of him okay wait a little while then see if you like him, if not find a right owner that will take care of him
Unless you have a KC registered dog with full pedigree there is no way that either you or the woman could have guaranteed that the dog is a pedigree Jack Russell Terrier. That is why people pay more money for KC registered dogs.
If you think you have been defrauded by this woman you can sue her. Contact your solicitor for legal advice - you obviously have a case! However, it will cost you!bloom-

Divorced dad needs legal advice regarding visitation requirements?
Ok i share joint custody with my exwife but she is the custodial parent who i pay child support to. I get my son every other weekend.The problem is i need to go away on a work issue and need to switch weekends with her but she has ';plans'; and refuses to help me out. My question is can she ';legally'; make me get my son that weekend? I have asked everyone i know to help me out but no one can watch him and i can't take him with me. The only problem i see is we signed in our custody agreement what days we would be responsible for.Can she still hold me to it?Divorced dad needs legal advice regarding visitation requirements?
No. Fortunately or unfortunately, visitation is a right given to the parent. You can refuse to pickup child, with virtually no problems. However you are not entitled to make up time, unless the other parent agrees to give it to you.Divorced dad needs legal advice regarding visitation requirements?
Probably the thing to do is talk to your lawyer. You both signed the custody agreement, I think she can hold you to it. I feel that she is being a bit unreasonable to not help you out because you have to work, but it happens all the time with people. I would ask a lawyer about it. Maybe make a new custody agreement to prevent her from sticking you in a jam when your work interferes with your weekend with your son. Good luck with this.
unfortunately yes. I am sorry but you signed and it sounds like she won't let you

Example: you were climbing on a ladder, the ladder was built negligently and you fell. You can get an atty to sue the ladder manufacturer...not your employer.bloom-

I would like to get legal advice on how i can eliminate my depts. I owe credit cards and loan companies.?
Depends on what state u live in as to whether u can go with one of those ';debt consolidation programs';.I would like to get legal advice on how i can eliminate my depts. I owe credit cards and loan companies.?
Can't give you legal advice - that would be illegal.
However .....
I would recommend you contact your local United Way and ask for a referral to a legitimate Credit Counseling service. They will be able to put you in touch with someone in your local area who can help you. (Consumer Credit Counseling Services - www.cccservices.com - is one of the only legitimate services of their kind that I'm aware of). I'm recommending you contact them through the United Way to prove that they're not a scam. You should have no or VERY low fees through them.
STAY AWAY from those groups that advertise on late night tv or in magazines. Also, stay away from those ';get rich quick and easy'; websites. 99.9999% of them are scams.
Good luck and hope this helps!I would like to get legal advice on how i can eliminate my depts. I owe credit cards and loan companies.?
My plan for 2008:
Pay minimum on all med debt %26amp; credit cards (on time)
Create 3 new checking accounts
1. Gifts (Christmas, Birthdays, baby showers, etc.)
2. Travel/ Furnature (save up to take a trip somewhere fun)
3. Debt Paydown
I'm going to pay all my bills ontime
Lock my cards/check book in a safe
Pull cash out for fun money each week ($30)
Only Groceries and Gas on Bank card
Acct 1: $100, Acct. 2: $150, Acct. 3: $650
After 2 months I will have enough cushion to auto deduct into my new accounts.
On 4th month I will have enough money for an ';emergency fund'; in my ';debt paydown account';. So I don't create more debt if I have to replace a tire or medical emergency.
In 4th month I will start paying $650 from debt paydown into my credit card with the highest balance and interest rate
Then I work down the list of my credit cards, then med debt, then cars.
I should pay off like $5,000 in debt this year!

If it doesn't have his name in the book then no. For all he knows you could have written before you married. There is no way for him to PROVE that you are writing about him or anyone else.

Your soon to be husband probably already has a Will. It would be wise for him to make another one, as this one would revoke all his previous Wills. In his Will he should specify what he wants to leave to you, his ex (if anything) and his son, plus any other family members, friends, etc. Be sure to have this done at a law firm to prevent anything that may cause the will to not be certifiable (i.e. if you were to sign as a witness to the will, but were also listed as a beneficary you would write yourself out of the Will and receive nothing).
It may also be wise to prepare Enduring Powers of Attorney which state who you and your soon to be husband want to look after their affairs should they become quite ill or injured and cannot make their own decisions. It is most common to list each other as the Attorney and this of couse would stop the ex trying to make financial or medical decisions on your husband's behalf.
If he has Life Insurance, etc, these policies will also need to be updated with the details of any new beneficaries (such as yourself) and to remove any unwanted beneficaries (ex).
Insofar as you are concerned, I would also prepare a Will, specifing what you want to leave to your new husband. As far as your stocks/bonds are concerned, I would keep these in your own name. The ex wife would have no right to have access to these as they are yours and you have nothing to do with the divorce process between her and your soon to be husband.
Is he paying alimony/child support payments? I think it would be wise to have the money for these payments come out of a bank account that is solely for that purpose and in your husband's name only. Any other accounts you may wish to have as joint accounts with both your signatures to stop the ex trying to take money from an account of your husband's.
I hope I haven't confused you, I am from Australia and so some of the things I have said might be different for you in New York. Best of luck.Getting married to a divorced father of a 8yr old need some legal advice?
First of all, the child needs to be first priority. Do not bad talk his mother because he will resent the relationship between you and his father. If he has issues with her you need to stay out of it.
See a lawyer who has experience in estate planning. This is a complex area, particularly for blended families. You definitely should have a will; just having things in your name will not be sufficient.
Check with your state, but in Georgia when you marry any monies made and all assets obtained during the marriage cannot be touched by anyone out side of the marriage, in regards to ex-wives...
...However, any life insurances need to be changes over.
and you may want to keep your previously owned assets in your name only for your protection against her, and/ or if the marriage doesn't work out.
...not very romantic I know, but a word of advise from one women to another.
Your husband-to-be should be taking steps to protect you and his furure children. His responsibilities are to you, his past children and his future children.
Sorry for the former wife...she should be on her own.

Need legal advice about bank issue?
I need any advice that I can get? Basically, I had an account with my ex-husband and he took my credit cards and checkbook and told me that I was off the account. The same bank allowed me to open another account even though, I was still on the old account. My ex charged off the account and the bank pursued legal action against both of us. They seized all of the funds in my new account to offset the old account. I went in front of a judge today and she found in favor for me. I won against the bank!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was ecstatic! I am entitled to the funds that were seized from the other account and damages? I had started a business and I lost a lot. Thanks for any help you can give me!Need legal advice about bank issue?
Damages probably; funds used to close a charge off account, pretty doubtfulNeed legal advice about bank issue?
Enjoy your victory. Don't press your luck.
It's not against the law to protest the bank. Get a poster board and make you a sign and stay on public property. Watch how fast everything happens, you will be pleasantly surprised. But, you have to have thick skin to do this, people will point at you and say things. But, let me tell you it works like a charm. I did it. And I'm happy I did.

Some Legal Advice?? I hit a motorcyclist on the road while i was overtaking...? Part 2?
But if i refuse to compensate. Will it be a case of two prosecutions against my defense??Some Legal Advice?? I hit a motorcyclist on the road while i was overtaking...? Part 2?
That's a civil issue between you and the other parties. Whether there will be two separate cases, or if they'll be 'bundled' into one, is dependant on local court rules, and I'm afraid I have no idea about Malay rules of procedure.
A ';prosecution'; is a case where the government is charging you with a crime. The request of one party that another party compensate them for damages is a civil matter, not criminal.
(That is ';if'; - as I believe is the case - Malay law is still based on English common law. If it isn't - if for example it's now based on Shari'a - then I can't help at all)
RichardSome Legal Advice?? I hit a motorcyclist on the road while i was overtaking...? Part 2?
you evidently dont ride! a bike has just as much right on the road as you and you have more protection! how dare you try to walk away from your obligation to a human being with the system.if i hit you while checking your mailbox wouldnt you want my driving skills checked out or get an atourney and leave ya hangin with nothin.bloom-

My sister got caught smoking and now she has to go to court... I need some legal advice!?
She is 17 years old.My sister got caught smoking and now she has to go to court... I need some legal advice!?
No reputable person would give you legal advice when 1. You haven't given your area and 2. You haven't told us what the charge is.
My only advice, and if anyone else says otherwise then take what they say with a grain of salt, is to contact a lawyer in your area.My sister got caught smoking and now she has to go to court... I need some legal advice!?
Got caught smoking what?? Illegal stuff, cigarettes??
Shame on her!
Hi ,
ask your sister to plead guilty , she will be let off considering her age and will be summoned to do some social service..
Cheers
Smoking is not illegal.
Buying cigarettes at 17 is - but Im guessing the person who sold them to her would have more to worry about.

Can anyone give me legal advice regarding this?
I was given a purebreed puppy that I couldn't keep %26amp; I placed an ad on a website called Nextdaypets.com and found somebody to ';buy'; her for $100 plus shipping costs to NC. I received their payment Thursday %26amp; was due to ship Saturday but I came down with nasty flu on Friday AND TOLD THE BUYER THIS. I offered to ship Sunday or next Tuesday instead. Today I received this email from the buyer.
';You obviously have no Idea what you have gotten yourself into, so lt me fill you in. My first step will be to OUT YOU on every site I find your name and there are many. My second step will be to address a copy of my complaint to every employer who has ever bought ANY of your work, your writting Jobs are through. Last but not least, My reach is long. I will be looking you up at your home with in the week. I've spoke with a few with a few of your acquaintances already and your not even as hard tIncluded is my Photo so you'll KNOW who your dealing with and when you've been found.Can anyone give me legal advice regarding this?
you know what make several copies of his email and talk to your state attorney and he or she I am sure will be more than glad to file charges against him or her cause it sounds like he has broken several laws . He also threatened you ,which means he can go to jail for that alone . good luck to you do not ignore this get yourself some help . Please dont let this sour you on your opinion of people we are not all crazy. good luck and god bless you and happy holidays.Can anyone give me legal advice regarding this?
DO NOT SEND THE DOG! If these people are that crule to you, imagine how they will be to a puppy.
Second call the police, and contact a lawyer. A lawyer can scare them off pretty easily with legalese letters, and legally made threats.
Call the police and show them the e-mail. This guy doesn't know what he's gotten himself into. He has broken several laws by sending you this message. Don't call 911, the police should have a non-emergency number you can call.
Start talking to your local law enforcement, you don't need to be found- that stalking. Had you thought you may be selling a dog to some underground dog-fighters? And if this were me, the answer is ';you don't want to find me,nobody does';.
You should contact the ';buyer'; one more time and apologize again for any inconvenience it may have caused, but explain again that you didn't PLAN to get sick - these things happen. Tell him you're more than happy to refund his money immediately.
My best advice is to contact your local police and let them know what sort of psycho you're in contact with! WOW.
(Just as an aside, I think the guy is kind of freaky and probably won't even try half of what he's jibbered, so just stay calm. I had a similar incident where the guy said he'd be at my house around thanksgiving to KILL me and my entire family!! As you can see, I'm fine!)
Finally, you may want to get a consult with an attorney ... just in case. Who knows what sort of malicious libel he might try to commit.
Print out a couple of copies of the e-mail, send his money back and call and file a report with the police claiming it as a terrorist threat and you fear for you well being and life..... that will be the end of it.
Take it to the cops
evidently this ';Country Bumpkin'; (I can throw this comment cuz i,m from ';them there hills'; myself)doesn,t know what kind of mess HE IS getting himself in!!
He is not allowed to make such gestures to you or anyone else that does not follow through
with Any agreements made,it is unfortunet that you were unable to send the dog on the day you said,but you did offer to make this right and Send the Dog he purchased ASAP, But at this point with the Hate and dispite he is showing I Wouldn,t send the dog or bag full of manure(Sh -t) to this NON buisness minded ninnyhillbilly. With hate crimes and terrorisim of Any type this person can really get in some trouble !! And I hope YOU will hold your ground for what is right and just..and follow thru in prosecuting this ?@#%*....
Make His NEW YEAR one to remember,,
I,m sure the FBI would love to read his email and post his picture ..
Good Luck to you.Dont let his threats bother you
especially at this time of year(which i,m sure he was trying to upset anyway)

Legal advice on a traffic ticket?
I was pulled over and given two tickets. One for disobeying a traffic control device and one for driving on a suspended license. My license is NOT suspended....I called the dmv and they said there is just a stop on my license but it is not suspended. Also, I was pulled over last night and was not issued a ticket for having a suspended license. Can I bring this up in court and have the failure to obey traffic control device charge dropped? Do I have any course when issued a false traffic ticket? Legal advice on a traffic ticket?
Ask the DMV to give you a hard copy of a document that shows to license is not suspended.
There is no connection between the status of your license and a moving violation. It therefore is probably a better course of action to just pay it with the notation ';nolo contendre'; or ';no contest.';
Taking it to court opens up the possibility of losing and having to pay total costs and fines greater than the standard fine for the ticket alone.Legal advice on a traffic ticket?
You might have a defense to the charge of driving on a suspended license, but that has no effect on the other charge. If a person is charged with multiple crimes, and has a defense to some, that does not mean he must be acquitted of all. Your recourse is to plead not guilty and set a trial and then to defend against the charges, same as any other accused criminal.

Legal Advice? My employer is paying me to much? Can they make me pay it back?
Here is the situation. I get $1.50 normally for shift diff. If I pass my registry exam I get another $1.50. But I have not passed my registry exam but I am getting the extra $1.50.Legal Advice? My employer is paying me to much? Can they make me pay it back?
They can, and probably will require you to pay back any money you are paid in error. Rules for how such restitution may be required vary from state to state, and country to country, but you will need to pay it back. Given this fact, I suggest you consider how trustworthy you want to appear to your company. You will gain much in their eyes if you bring the mistake to their attention, rather than waiting until they catch the error.Legal Advice? My employer is paying me to much? Can they make me pay it back?
They can and will if they catch it. I had an employer accidentally forget to withhold monies for my health insurance and they just garnered my future checks until they were paid back.
Is the money rightfully yours? (NO)
Can they make U pay it back? (YES)
Payroll errors happen quite often. Just like banking errors. An error does not entitle U to the money.
If it is a sizeable amount, and you go and spend the money, then quit your job (in effort to escape payback)...........you'll get sued and may even end up in jail.
Be a good employee! Call this to the attention of your employer. They are going to find out eventually.........., then they may ask you why you didn't say anything about it.

*******LEGAL ADVICE NEEDED!!!!*** Can a theft or shoplifting case be won?
If so what defense might be able to actually work.*******LEGAL ADVICE NEEDED!!!!*** Can a theft or shoplifting case be won?
Melissa, you did not say if you actually committed the crime or not. If you are indeed innocent, then request ';discovery'; to see the store's security video and request a witness list that they would be using against you.
If on the other hand, you actually did the deed, I would recommend that you just own up to it and move on with your life. By doing so the state attorney may be more inclined to offer a deal.
**** You most definitely need to depose the store clerk that rang up the sale in the first place. If you are telling the truth, she is your alibi.*******LEGAL ADVICE NEEDED!!!!*** Can a theft or shoplifting case be won?
if it was in a department store they have a video tape of what happened. if the tape supports your statement, you are fine.
have your attorney ask to review the tape when he gets to the discovery phase of your trial
if you were caught by retail loss prevention then prolly not. plead guilty.
we don't apprehend unless we are 100% and we have steps in place to ensure this fact...... stop stealing
EDIT: the update says, to the best of my translation : you walked away from the point of sale, and your friend handed you the bag with items you did not pay for in it? if that is correct, your gonna have to prove it. if that is the case, get a laywer.
It did not happen. If you are guilty, don't bother looking for an out. You won't find one.
Is the party being prosecuted guilty or not? Need a little more info. Talk to a lawyer. Consultation is often free.
Normally first theft or shoplifting under $5000 will give u warning and on 2nd attempt ur first offence will be considered.If u are sure u did the theft then plead guilty honestly and make promise will not repeat in future.U will be OK after few days...

Can anybody give me some advice on a legal matter?
My brother was a successful businessman. Unfortunately he developed recurring type of brain tumour and has been operated 3 times. His condition in the last few months, after his third has degenerated. He is unable to use his right hand and leg, has virtually no short term memory and cannot speak his thoughts. He is totally frustrated. He has now lost his business and owes heavily. Since he was a businessman, there are many legal matters that need to be taken care of on his behalf. There are some cases that he had filed long ago for recovery of money and needs to file more. However, there is no one in his family who can handle any such matters at all. His wife needs to be beside 24 hours a day and does not comprehend any bus/legal matters. His elder son who is 25 is away at work in another city and cannot give the time and energy required to sort out the messy business affairs. His younger is still studying. Would it be advisable for me to accept the power of attorney?Can anybody give me some advice on a legal matter?

If u are willing to take on the big responsibility, i say, get a power of attorney and sort ur brother's business mess..hopefully ur brother will still recover from this health slump and can still express his gratitude to you. Make sure u have the wife's and oldest kid's authority to do it as well...as legally they are the next of kin that should be taking over when ur brother is not able to conduct his business.
that's so sad.depends on your position if you aren't high like he was then i suggest no. because it is business.
You should accept the power of attorney to help your brother, as he really needs you, and just learn as you go, do the research and seek some legal advice as to what to do in each case, attorneys get very expensive, seek free legal advice there is lots of it on the www, I would ask for help from other siblings, try to collect as much money as possible and then if he has some big debts, he might have to file bankruptcy, I recommend you contact Suze Orman, or email her, let her know the situation, she is a great and famous financial expert advisor, go to her web.
Best of luck, you are doing a great thing helping your brother.bloom-

The Maintenance people stole everything from my storage, the manager takes full blame for what happened, what should I do now?Need legal advice about tenant/landlord laws?
If you didn't purchase renter's insurance, you may not have any recourse. Of course, the land manager might agree to pay damages. Obviously take that offer if it's made. A lawsuit would be time consuming and costly and you would probably lose, making it more costly. Most apartment applications, for example, have a liability clause telling you what the management company isn't responsible for, therefore, renter's insurance is usually the best (and sometimes only) option for renters worried about property being stolen.Need legal advice about tenant/landlord laws?
Provide an itemized statement of the things which were stolen and ask the landlord to compensate you for them. Consider depreciation in the value of these items.
Determine the value of the items stolen (not the replacement cost) then request reimbursement from the storage facility.

Need legal advice for upcoming court case?
Ok so about a year ago I was charged with a paraphernalia and possession charge. I received a misdemeanor and supervision and I also had to pay about 700 dollars. I paid it all off but then a couple months ago I got a ticket (petty charge) for having a pipe on me and I was still under supervision. I need to know if I should plead guilty or not guilty...what should I do????Need legal advice for upcoming court case?
no don't plead guilty...plea ';i stand mute'; so u have time to ask for public defender....i visited a website...it's better NEVER admitted a crime cz it will nail u down. hire a lawyer...Need legal advice for upcoming court case?
The best advice that I could give you is be honest. If you had the drugs or pipe then tell them that you did. If you didn't then tell them that you didn't.. Honesty is normally the best policy... Who knows, you might get off easier than what you expect.
You need to consult a lawyer. Whatever you decide could have some long term consequences. You committed another misdemeanor while under supervision for the first.
Be prepared when you face the judge/court. Know what your options are.

I live in Rhode Island and i would like legal advice on a situation concerning my mother and her boyfriend...?
my mother has been dating a guy now for about a year and a half. i moved out on my own and she had him move into her house.
i'd like to know, if anything were to happen to my mother, what would be my legal options as far as getting him out of the house.
i want the house for myself someday and as you can probably guess i don't like his presence there very much. i wouldn't want him to get to comfy.
so what can i do?I live in Rhode Island and i would like legal advice on a situation concerning my mother and her boyfriend...?
The only way you could get the house is if your mother left it to you in her will. She has every right to leave HER home to anyone she chooses, and that includes her boyfriend. There is NOTHING you can do except to suck up and learn to tolerate him because he maybe getting the house someday.I live in Rhode Island and i would like legal advice on a situation concerning my mother and her boyfriend...?

I need legal advice about Domestic Violence?
I have been married with this guy for 5 years already and I finally moved out because of the violence I do not have babys with him but he was helping me to inmigrate and be legal to work and stay here. But now I dont know what to do? Can I still get my papers whitout him? What do I need?I need legal advice about Domestic Violence?
You can possibly still get your papers without him.
Under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), an immigrant who is 1) married in good faith to a US citizen or lawful permanent resident and has lived with them in the US; 2) has suffered extreme cruelty at the hands of the spouse and 3) is a person of good moral character can make a self-petition.
As you know, since you mentioned that your husband was helping to get your papers, the first step in becoming a permanent resident through a family member, is that the family member makes a petition for you (I-130, Petition for Alien Relative). If your marriage falls apart, or if you are separated you probably won't be able to continue on with the petition made by your husband.
But, as indicated above, you could proceed with a self-petition under VAWA. The application is the I-360, but you have to attach a lot of documentation to it. You have to show your husband's status, show that you were married in good faith and lived together, show that you are a person of good moral character and show that you were abused. Each of these elements has to be documented. It is actually a lot of work, and I definitely recommend that you get yourself a lawyer.
You mentioned you are separated from him. This does not disqualify from you -- in fact, you could still qualify to apply up to two years after divorce, if you decided to divorce him.
To document the abuse -- if you have filed police reports, that's obviously good, hard evidence. However, this is not required. You will need to prepare a detailed statement about your relationship and the abuse. You can get statements from friends and family member. Of you've ever received medication to treat depression, proof of that, along with a letter from your therapist is good. Actually, you should start receiving counseling now (if you haven't already) because it is always good to submit a letter from the counselor.
When a VAWA self-petition is approved, that alone qualifies you for a work permit. If you have never been deported before, you will get a status known as deferred action which protects you from deportation. It has to be renewed each year.
The step after the approval of the VAWA self-petition is to apply for permanent residency if you qualify. Issues to take into consideration are -- whether you've committed any crimes, if you entered the US with a visa, etc. Depending on what city you live in, whether you entered the US legally can affect if you qualify to become a permanent resident. In most jurisdictions, this is the way it's handled: if you entered without a visa, and you entered before 1997, you can actually still qualify to become a permanent resident without the need to leave the country. If you entered illegally after 1997, but someone petitioned for you, or your parents when you were still a minor before April 30, 2001, you can become a permanent resident paying a $1,000 fine. If neither of these two cases apply to you -- you entered after 1997 and no petition was made, then you have to show that the reason you entered illegally is linked to the abuse you suffered with your husband. Otherwise, you won't be able to adjust your status to permanent resident for now. But like I said, you will have a work permit. You can stay in the US, but won't be able to return if you leave.
If your husband is a permanent resident, you know there is a priority date -- you are a 2a preference category. The good news is that if you file the VAWA self-petition, you show them you have a priority date and ask them to attach that priority date to the VAWA petition. You don't start all over again.
I could go on and on. Get a lawyer. Women's shelters can often refer you to immigration lawyers who assist immigrant victims of domestic violence.
I just wanted to add -- if you entered the US legally and your husband is a US citizen, or a permanent resident, but your priority date is now current, you can file the application for permanent residency simultaneously with the VAWA self-petition.
Also, if you are indigent, you can get waivers for the immigration processing fees.I need legal advice about Domestic Violence?
You need to see a lawyer
Go to your family in your country and get away from that guy. Then just come here the right way, so you don't have to depend on any more creeps. You can do it. Never depend on anyone who hurts you.
File a police report against him for abuse and talk to an lawyer about your status and mention the abuse.
if you ever filed anything about his abuse its much easier to get your papers done but if not its going to be much harder but since you already got the ball rolling you can still get your papers but it will take much longer
If you're an illegal alien here then sounds like you're screwed. Still, dump the violent guy and find someone nicer you can use for a green card. And in the meantime, keep dodging La Migra.
talk to a lawyer! yes in most cases you can get your papers in this unfortunate event of domestic violence!take a look at this web site they should be able to help you.http://www.ncadv.org/good luck and messege me if you have anymore questions...
It is unfortunate that you should have to be married ( a major lifetime love commitment) to someone who does that to you just so you can stay in this country. I understand why you don't wan't to file a police report so you need to find another way to become a citizen without his marriage. Get a job (if you do not have one try bilingual jobs, they pay 2 time more than regular), build some credit, and become a naturalized citizen.
Good Luck.
P.S. Get rid of the abusive guy, no amount of freedom is worth being trapped by the hands of a man.
ju need to march with me on 15th, 16th, 17th June in Washington DC. So you can get help from the government
They have a special visa for victims of domestic violence. Ask at a local shelter or domestic violence organization. You can probably (99% of the time) stay while your case is being processed. You need to have documentation to show that you have been physially abused (like police reports, letter from a shelter, witnesses).
The district attorney came to my class and told us about it...they have free legal representation at some domestic violence agencies.
Good luck to you.bloom-

I am in need of legal advice, looking into adopting?
a polar bear. Some woman approached me in town, save the Polar Bears etc. So I said sure, I'll adopt one.
Now I'm thinking though....what kind of background checks do they do (I'm a bit worried about passing a criminal record check)? And would I *really* need to have some kind of pool and cold area to keep it in? Is that essential in keeping a polar bear?I am in need of legal advice, looking into adopting?
I think there are new laws about keeping a dangerous wild animal in your home or on your property or in your backyard pool area. A Polar Bear is very cute and I suggest you join the Sierra Club as they help to save all animals! But, the new legal laws are to protect you and others from a bite from any wild animal!I am in need of legal advice, looking into adopting?
hahaha. not like they are going to bring you a polar bear to raise. adoption simply means you pay them some money monthly, and they spend a little bit of it on something related to bears, perhaps habitat.
you been on the funny fags this evening babe!!!
Ark @ you with your plane and a polar bear!! whoooo!!
EDIT; ooopps just saw the i dare you to play question, i geddit now!!!
Yeah it is, or you can stick 'em in the freezer :)
Polar bears think you look delicious.
I would go to Tesco's and stock up on packs of penguin's I think there on special offer at the moment.

Need legal advice re rubbish at a civic amenity, if they take your car registration what happens?
I work part time as a merchandiser. I took some company posters to recycle at the local tip. An operative at the tip told me I was illegally dumping comercial waste I explained that I was unaware of any wrongdoing I apologised and took my posters away. I asked where I could take them. He did not really answer but took my car registration number and told me I could never return to the tip again. I did not sign anything or give my name but I think there is some CCTV at the site. What will happen now?Need legal advice re rubbish at a civic amenity, if they take your car registration what happens?
Your details will be held on the database - if you offend again you will either be fined or receive a summons through the post. Its all part of Blairs Big Brother Britain. Commercial waste has to be paid for to dispose of xxxNeed legal advice re rubbish at a civic amenity, if they take your car registration what happens?
hi as far as i'm aware you have done nothing illegal so the police should not get involved was this in the uk if so i would not worry to much about it you took the posters back thats the main thing it sounds like the person was just trying to be smart and clever and scare you which sounds like has worked i would not worry as long as you have not broken the law you will be fine and it does not sound like you have im going by the uk not amrica im not sure there good luck with this.
Not quit sure I understand the question, but if I'm reading your question correctly, all you did was take some posters to be recycled and I'm assuming the posters are recyclable.
If this is the case, you did nothing and I do mean nothing wrong.
The only thing you might have done wrong was have contact with an idiot. And don't worry about this person taking your license plate number down, he is trying to intimidate you and not coming back. What you should have done was talk to his boss to get things straight.
hi...nothing will happen to you..infact it was the operative who was acting illegally.
first...he has 'no' right to take your reg plate number, let alone report it, as you actually 'had not' committed an offence.
second...he definately has 'no' powers to tell you to never return to that particular site...if fact he is just there to offer advise and give any further information that any customer may request, these are his main duties...seems like he is a jumped up little toerag who is definately power crazed...so therefore you can ignore him, and if you ever need to visit the place again then do so.
thirdly...and finally...if you 'did' happen to get a letter from the local council, then report him for 'harrassment' and question his so called authority, as he gets paid by 'all' of us, in other words 'council tax' payers, so 'you' actually employ him...so ask the council to reprimand him or you may take it further and report your dealings and findings to the 'local' newspaper.
hope this eases your mind and helps a little.

If a lawyer owns his own magazine for Law Students and Lawyers can he also give Legal tips and Advice in it?
If he has complete editorial control over the magazine, he can print just what he likes in it.If a lawyer owns his own magazine for Law Students and Lawyers can he also give Legal tips and Advice in it?
Yes, if he wants to open himself up to liability. He better be really clear with a big disclaimer saying that the information provided is not to be relied upon as legal advice and that anything written does not create an attorney client relationship.

Are company's liable if they receive incorrect legal advice?
Many companies ask their legal counsel for advice on a particular practice. If the lawyer provides advice that the company follows, should the company be immune from legal liability resulting from this action?Are company's liable if they receive incorrect legal advice?
Well, no. If that was true the companies would NEVER be liable they would ALWAYS blame it on the lawyers.
Now, lawyers are human being too - they make mistakes, if the lawyer was competent and gave advice in good faith -- the lawyer should not be liable.
However there is a cause of action for malpractice -- if the lawyer gives a com[any bad advice, and the lawyer was no qualified to do so, or gave advice in bad faith -- the company can sue the lawyer for damages.Are company's liable if they receive incorrect legal advice?
Yes parties are liable for their actions even if on the advice of counsel. If they followed the advice of counsel and it was wrong then possibly they could get reimbursement from counsel's malpractice carrier. I've even had companies ask for the advice given to be changed, so no the company should not be immune from legal liability for the action that ultimately was theirs.
No, the company won't be immune, but they could sue the lawyer for malpractice.
They are responsible, they are still the ones committing the action.
nope...but you can go after the lawyer for damages if any result from the improper or incorrect advise.
Why? Is this any different than following poor advise from an engineer, accounting consultant?
The company may be able to sue counsel (I'm assuming out of company not inside legal dept) but the company is responsible for their actions.
Well, no. If that was true the companies would NEVER be liable they would ALWAYS blame it on the lawyers.

Where can i get legal advice on grandparents rights and visition in pine bluff arkansas?
i had my gdchildren in my home since they were born and everytime my daughter want to leave she takes them with her now she has signed one of them over to her dad the other is in foster care and i want to get them both to keep the girls together they are 5 and 3 now the dad got custody is a known drug dealerWhere can i get legal advice on grandparents rights and visition in pine bluff arkansas?
Get a lawyer. If you can't afford one look up legal aid in your area.Where can i get legal advice on grandparents rights and visition in pine bluff arkansas?
Under specific circumstances, grandparents can be granted custody rights for the child. When one parent is deceased, the surviving parent, if deemed fit, is typically preferred for custody.
But if both parents are deceased, the courts may decide to award the custody of the child to the grandparents, since a blood relative is often preferred. Even in this situation, the grandparent has to present key evidence to the court that the child would be better off if he/she had custody of the child compared to other blood relatives or third parties.
Because one child is in parental and the other in foster care, it is my belief that a good attorney, and judge, would see the benefits of giving you custody of BOTH children.
You obviously have a somewhat unusual circumstance which may also involve multiple fathers.
The court can make its decision taking into account the age, health, and financial ability of the grandparent to properly support and care for the child.
Because there are so many issues involved concerning grandparent custody and visitation rights, you should consult with an attorney in your area that specializes in family practise.
Also the below website can give you a bit of insight as well!

just cause you don't like him you shouldn't try to take his children away. some drug dealers are very nice people. Seriously. You should certainly try to adopt the one in foster care and speak with the father personally (be nice) maybe he's willing to pass the kid off and only keeps her so she's not in foster care cause he's got a heart in there.
Some of the nicest people i know have drug problems, the rest of you people are angry and hateful, there is no love like E love my friend. or You could develope an understanding with the father and the siblings can maintain thier relationship in different houses if they must.bloom-

Under specific circumstances, grandparents can be granted custody rights for the child. When one parent is deceased, the surviving parent, if deemed fit, is typically preferred for custody.
But if both parents are deceased, the courts may decide to award the custody of the child to the grandparents, since a blood relative is often preferred. Even in this situation, the grandparent has to present key evidence to the court that the child would be better off if he/she had custody of the child compared to other blood relatives or third parties.
Because one child is in parental and the other in foster care, it is my belief that a good attorney, and judge, would see the benefits of giving you custody of BOTH children.
You obviously have a somewhat unusual circumstance which may also involve multiple fathers.
The court can make its decision taking into account the age, health, and financial ability of the grandparent to properly support and care for the child.
Because there are so many issues involved concerning grandparent custody and visitation rights, you should consult with an attorney in your area that specializes in family practise.
Also the below website can give you a bit of insight as well!

Legal advice about marijuana ?
I have a friend who is under the thumb of an abusive husband who is unemployed and grows pot at their home. He does not sell it but just uses it for himself, but he grows a lot of it. She has tried to leave him but he ends up not leaving them alone and making them miserable until she lets him back. She wants to turn him into the police for the pot so he will go to jail and they will be rid of him, but she has two kids and does not want to get in trouble because the drugs are at her house too...does anyone know what will happen to her if she turns him in? Will she get in trouble legally too? Legal advice about marijuana ?
she will probably be charged with the same crime as himself, what she needs to do is first go down and get temp custody of the kids and then leave him, once she is moved out she has a better chance, but chances are if he is arrested for the pot he could turn over on other druggies and get a lighter sentence or a slap on the hand. Most likely if she reports him he will take her down with him.Legal advice about marijuana ?
Here's the solution:
1) Put the kids somewhere safe - with a friend, relative, or even a women's shelter if the guy is that danegrous.
2) Call cops when hubby is away, report pot.
3) Claim exemption as 'innocent spouse' - this is a legitimate defense but should be coordinated with an attorney before the report is made.
4) File extended complaint - not only pot but threatening, harassment, and domestic violence.
5) Hire a bodyguard until the bastard is safely put away.
She may already be guilty of aiding %26amp; abetting, accessory, as well as conspiracy. So it would be in the absolute best interest of her and her children to turn in her husband. If the police come in from someone else turning them in, she is going to be just as much to blame. I have never heard of a defense of ';I was going to turn him in, but didn't know when'; actually holding up in court. If the husband admits to being the only one responsible, she will be off the hook. If she can not provide evidence that she was not involved, she may be just as much at fault. I do not know what the drug laws are like in your state, and I'm not sure if growing marijuana is considered manufacturing, but chances are she might lose her children, most likely will lose her house, and be charged criminally if they get busted some other way.

Legal Advice - splitting up with partner and want my name removed from deeds??
I purchased a flat with my partner just under 2 years ago - I want to move out and either sell up or have my name removed from the deeds....selling up might not be an option as ex-partner probably won't agree....anyone with any advice? thanks so muchLegal Advice - splitting up with partner and want my name removed from deeds??
You need to get him to take out a new mortgage in his name if he can afford it and wants to stay in the flat, and the building society agree he can afford it.
If he cant afford it then the building society wont allow you to do it.
What agreement do you have with your partner about ownership of this property?
Are you joint tenants or tenants in common
Joint Tenancy and Tenancy in Common
Legally there are two types of joint ownership, joint equity or property co-buying. You can either own the property as 鈥榡oint tenants' or as 鈥榯enants in common'. Do not be put off by the terminology. It has nothing to do with tenancies and applies to freehold or leasehold land.
Joint tenancy
Under this agreement the joint owners together own the whole property and do not have a particular share in it. If one of the owners dies the other automatically becomes the sole owner. This would be the case even if a will had been made leaving the deceased owner's 鈥榮hare' to someone other than the co-owner.
Tenancy in common
This is the opposite of joint tenancy in that the tenants in common each have a definite share in the property. For example A and B could own the property in equal shares, or A could own one fifth with B owning four fifths. This would be the most appropriate agreement where people want to own a property in separate pre-determined shares.
Under this form of ownership if one of the owners dies, his share of the property will pass on to whoever he specifies in a will, or if a will is not made, in accordance with the rules of intestacy (someone dying without leaving a will). If you are planning to make a will (and it would be wise to do so) you should have it drawn up before you sign the transfer deed that passes the legal ownership of the property to you. This way you will save the time, money and inconvenience of having to change your will.
Which form of joint ownership should you opt for?
This depends upon personal choice and your particular circumstances. The joint tenancy is most commonly adopted between married couples where there is perceived to be no advantage in defining separate shares in the property and where it would be the intention that on the first death the property would automatically pass to the surviving spouse. The alternative basis of a tenancy in common will often be used between brothers and sisters, parents and children, unmarried couples, business partners and the like. In these relationships it might be desirable for specific shares in the property to be identified and for each owner to be able to leave his or her share in the property to a named person other than the owner.
You can force a sale and sever your tenancy with him should you want your property to go to someone else in the event you dying.Legal Advice - splitting up with partner and want my name removed from deeds??
It's usually easy enough to have your name removed from the deeds, you simply transfer your interest to your partner using a Land Registry TR1. A problem might arise if you have a joint mortgage as you will need to be released from your obligations under the mortgage otherwise you will remain jointly liable for any re-payments whether you live there or not. Also the Land Registry will not amend the register without the mortgage lender's consent.
UK? You may have to get an order to force your partner to sell alternatively, he could buy you out subject to the mortgagers agreeing to re-mortgage the property in his name.
it is best if you can get an agreement but I would suggest a lawyer ti protect yourself and make sure he sticks to any deal you make. I know it will cost but it could save you a lot of heartbreak.
ps Property prices are falling fast so you may have negative equity and I do not know how you would deal with that issue
You can file a quitclaim deed.

Legal advice please - my house purchase has fallen through...?
I while ago a started the process of buying a house.
I paid the property developer my 10% deposit and was in the process of arranging a mortgage for the remaining 90% when the credit crunch happened.
I was unable to get a mortgage no matter how hard I tried. The property developer said I went past some time limit and now can't get my deposit back.
Does anybody know if/what I can do to get my money back?Legal advice please - my house purchase has fallen through...?
It really depends on the sales contract.
If you had the contingencies that the purchase was dependent on obtaining financing, yes, you should get it back.
However, if you simply defaulted on the contract this money belongs to the seller.Legal advice please - my house purchase has fallen through...?
I can only relate what happened to a neighbour of mine.
They put down a sizeable deposit of æ‹¢40k on a house,a local builder had modernised. They were selling their property,but their buyer was having problems selling their house,and after 3 months pulled out of the deal completely.
My neighbour unable to sell and so buy the modernised house lost their deposit.
I thought morally the builder should of at best,deducted any reasonable costs he occured in the 3 months ie interest/solictors and returned the rest,but didn't !!
My neighbour regrets not reading the contract properly,and has decided never to move.
soorry
You need to read any contracts to which you agreed by signing same. Your rights to a refund, if any, will be spelled out in such contract(s). I am guessing that you had a certain amount of time in the contract to cancel and, after that time limit expired, you would lose your downpayment.
Consult an attorney with all your contract paperwork in hand.
You need to get the contract around to a solicitor as soon as possible!

Legal advice for being arrested for attempted robbery and how much time if convicted as a first offense?
Your question is too vague to give an accurate answer.
What state are you in? Did you have a weapon at the time of the offense? What was robbed, a business or a person? What property did you steal or attempt to steal? How old are you and what is your prior record?
Anyway, it is a Felony charge. That means that, depending on the above factors, you could get anywhere from several years probation to over a years in jail.
If you were to research the laws of your state, most states have them on line, you can see generally what the charge carries as penalties.Legal advice for being arrested for attempted robbery and how much time if convicted as a first offense?
get a job.Legal advice for being arrested for attempted robbery and how much time if convicted as a first offense?
If you tried to take property or belongings from another person, that is an attempted robbery.
I assume you are guilty by the second part of your question.
Attempted robbery conviction carries varying terms (vary by state) and some have a time range (for example 5 to 15 years).
If this is, in fact, your first offense, you MAY get probation, or the charges MAY be reduced to a misdemeanor. A misdemeanor is normally punished by less than one year in a local jail.
You don't really give enough details for anyone to give you a thoughtful answer.
My first bit of advice would be to hire your own attorney, if you can afford to. ( But since you're out stealing, that means you probably can't afford to.) Public defenders usually do the best that they can, but they are way too over burdened to give each case enough time to do a top notch job.
If you have no prior convictions, and if you didn't physically harm anyone, or brandish a weapon, then you may get the charges plea bargained down to attempted burglary or something. If you meet those criteria, then you could probably walk away with 30 to 90 days in jail and 3 years of probation.
Depending on the circumstances you could also receive a year in the county jail, and a suspended prison sentence, plus probation. If you violated your probation for any reason, they could then revoke it, and make you do the suspended prison sentence.
If you physically harmed anyone, or brandished a weapon, especially a gun, then you're probably looking at 16 months to 3 years in prison. ( You'd end up doing about two thirds of that in most states.) If you're in a state like Florida or Texas, you could face stiffer penalties. My experience comes from California, where sentences are usually more lenient.

Can Pizza Hut take me to court over a $8 bounced check. I NEED LEGAL ADVICE!?
I never recieved anything in the mail and it was from months ago. I just got served papers. What do I do? This is ridiculous!Can Pizza Hut take me to court over a $8 bounced check. I NEED LEGAL ADVICE!?
You were sued. Of course you can be sued - you received goods and didn't pay for them.
You have three options:
1. Call the attorney who sued you and try to settle the matter immediately. THe attorney probably doesn't want to go to trial and cost Pizza Hut more money which means even more legal fees. The attorney may as for $8.00 plus attorneys fees to date.
2. File an ';Answer'; to the Complaint within the time limit you have. You can go to your local court's website and get info on doing this. You better know what you are doing or you could ';default'; and automatically LOSE. You then have to pay whatever the attorney for Pizza Hut asks for.
3. Go to trial and fight it.
Normally, in the United States, you cannot be assessed attorneys fees unless it was in a contract OR there is some law which allows for it. Based on my experience, Pizza Hut could not get attorneys fees because there was no written contract allowing them to collect attorneys fees AND there is no law allowing for you to be responsible for their attorneys fees.
With this lawsuit, Pizza Hut is trying to make a point - that they won't put up with stealing.
I suggest you call up the attorney and offer $50 to drop the lawsuit and settle with them. They should be happy with that. If the attorney demands attorneys fees, just tell him that by law you aren't responsible for any attorneys fees and see where it goes.
You should also get an attorney ASAP if the above doesn't work.Can Pizza Hut take me to court over a $8 bounced check. I NEED LEGAL ADVICE!?
The check may be for $8.00 but they are entitled to triple that amount, $24, plus the fees they had to pay the bank, $25 to $30 and then costs of collection including court costs, in other words
this $8 check can end up costing you a couple of hundred bucks, pretty expensive pizza.
If you need legal advice, contact a lawyer, the law forbids us from giving doing so.
Good luck.
';What do I do?'; Well gee I don't know, make the check good comes to mind. If you go to court you will pay $8 plus thousands for legal costs.
Pay up pal. You can pay them now or you can pay them later.
Contact Pizza Hut and pay them the $8.00, whats the big deal. Understand, it is illegal to write a bad check, but if you owe them , better pay them.
Don't worry. I know the founders of Pizza Hut. The Carney's all live in my city. I will call them and ask them to drop it.
this is a civil matter, not criminal..no one goes to jail. call and see if you can resolve this. if you loose, you will be responsible for court costs.
You don't normally get anything until charges are pressed. This takes time. A bad check, even a small one, is still a crime.
paying is cheaper than any other option...........
pay them the 8 dollars ya goof, you know you bounced it,thats if you stay up on your account
They can have you arrested.
Yeah, it's ridiculous, but just pay the 8 bucks and make it go away.
Looks like they can and they have.
Yes, they can. That $8 check can turn into $300 or $400 because you might also have to pay attorneys fees and court costs. Call them before the court date to see if you can work it out.
They can arrest you especially if your pulled over for a traffic violation. Just pay it.
yes still be taken to court.even if you pay for the bad check it does not erase the crime of writing the bad ncheck.you argument is very poor. you know if you wrote a bad check becaus the bank and the person who received the check will also let you know that the check bounce.here in texas it is called ';passing a worthless check';.

yes but I doubt they will
It is very serious. Check fraud can be a felony where you live.
At this point, $8 is not going to cut it. Usually there is also a ';Returned Check Service Fee'; of about $30 on top of what is owed.
Contact Pizza Hut to find out how much they feel is owed. Ask them if they would rather have cash in hand or waste more time and money in court. Next, hand deliver the money to the manager and demand a receipt stating the amount paid, the reason why the amount was paid and the date. Keep this paper very safe.
Next, contact your bank to make sure you do not have any more checks bouncing out there. Get overdraft protection on your checking account immediately. That step alone saved me hundreds of dollars in fees.
just explane what hapend and offer to pay them, they should be alright with that.
You were sued. Of course you can be sued - you received goods and didn't pay for them.
You have three options:
1. Call the attorney who sued you and try to settle the matter immediately. THe attorney probably doesn't want to go to trial and cost Pizza Hut more money which means even more legal fees. The attorney may as for $8.00 plus attorneys fees to date.
2. File an ';Answer'; to the Complaint within the time limit you have. You can go to your local court's website and get info on doing this. You better know what you are doing or you could ';default'; and automatically LOSE. You then have to pay whatever the attorney for Pizza Hut asks for.
3. Go to trial and fight it.
Normally, in the United States, you cannot be assessed attorneys fees unless it was in a contract OR there is some law which allows for it. Based on my experience, Pizza Hut could not get attorneys fees because there was no written contract allowing them to collect attorneys fees AND there is no law allowing for you to be responsible for their attorneys fees.
With this lawsuit, Pizza Hut is trying to make a point - that they won't put up with stealing.
I suggest you call up the attorney and offer $50 to drop the lawsuit and settle with them. They should be happy with that. If the attorney demands attorneys fees, just tell him that by law you aren't responsible for any attorneys fees and see where it goes.
You should also get an attorney ASAP if the above doesn't work.Can Pizza Hut take me to court over a $8 bounced check. I NEED LEGAL ADVICE!?
The check may be for $8.00 but they are entitled to triple that amount, $24, plus the fees they had to pay the bank, $25 to $30 and then costs of collection including court costs, in other words
this $8 check can end up costing you a couple of hundred bucks, pretty expensive pizza.
If you need legal advice, contact a lawyer, the law forbids us from giving doing so.
Good luck.
';What do I do?'; Well gee I don't know, make the check good comes to mind. If you go to court you will pay $8 plus thousands for legal costs.
Pay up pal. You can pay them now or you can pay them later.
Contact Pizza Hut and pay them the $8.00, whats the big deal. Understand, it is illegal to write a bad check, but if you owe them , better pay them.
Don't worry. I know the founders of Pizza Hut. The Carney's all live in my city. I will call them and ask them to drop it.
this is a civil matter, not criminal..no one goes to jail. call and see if you can resolve this. if you loose, you will be responsible for court costs.
You don't normally get anything until charges are pressed. This takes time. A bad check, even a small one, is still a crime.
paying is cheaper than any other option...........
pay them the 8 dollars ya goof, you know you bounced it,thats if you stay up on your account
They can have you arrested.
Yeah, it's ridiculous, but just pay the 8 bucks and make it go away.
Looks like they can and they have.
