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.

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.

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.
