I'm glad to report that the affidavit option can work reasonably quickly. I would recommend that method to limit exposure of sensitive, confidential, and personalized data.

If you've lost access to your LinkedIn account due to the social network claiming that there is a possible security breach of your account, you may find yourself without access until resolved. LinkedIn sends users whose accounts they deem potentially susceptible to a breach to a verifier called...

The details surrounding common Windows Tech Support scams, a ubiquitous telphone scam for many years, was exposed over a decade ago here on our website. It was disappointing to find this useful page deindexed from a major search engine for reasons I cannot explain. It not only allegedly tracks a...

This site is specifically about legal issues, and we're happy to discuss those that impact AI, which also has impacted this site. Some of the challenges include the terms of use which explicitly forbid the use of our content by machines, such as what LLMs are doing by having crawled this website...

The Salvage Asset Recovery Scam So of all the gin joints, you happen to come to the place where this lawyer actually teaches a blockchain technology course in a major university and has represented clients at major crypto exchanges who were victims of pig butchering scams? I've kept your post...

For the most part, the roads and sidewalks have been cleared. My guess is that the poster was able to clear the sidewalk before leaving for work because the snow subsided in the very early hours of the morning. There are supposed to be additional snow showers but the sky seems clear now. I'll...

Small claims is worth a shot. I've found that the results can be difficult to predict, even with clear cut cases. From my experience the arbitrators like to split the baby in half so going may not result in a total loss. That said, you'd need to have your witness in court to testify if you're...

Yes, this is token compensation territory. If you don't discuss immediately it becomes more difficult to address later by sending in a request, a copy of the bill, etc. My guess is that it will result in a discount offer for the next stay and a note of concern for the welfare of guests.

So very sorry to hear this news about your husband. It must be heartbreaking. Discussion with an attorney is of paramount importance, as mentioned by others. You may want to discuss with your attorney the possibility of speaking to the DA, local politicians, and the press. This is a rather...

It's still coming down pretty hard. This was taken about 2 hours ago and drifts were easily nearing 5 to 7 inches. Now this is what we actually can call snow.

We haven't had large snow fall the past few years, often being one every 2-3 years. Now we're supposed to have 2 reasonably sized storms. The first was cleared pretty quickly although it did linger for much of a day. This is supposed to be much more intense, lasting from Sunday into Monday and...

This thread is getting salty! In the US Northeast we are known for our black snow, slush and ice!

A while ago I wrote a snow and ice removal law in New York City article for our law guide, although @adjusterjack provides current information directly from the NYC Sanitation on the subject, who is the regulator responsible for snow removal. The Department of Sanitation (NYC DoS) has a fleet of...

I would agree strongly with @Tax Counsel for all the reasons stated. Unless there is a reason not to go to an ABA accredited school, it's only to your benefit that you do. I would also recommend that you not be swayed by scholarships if the school isn't well recognized and received. Having a...

Great advice on addressing from @Tax Counsel. Per discussion with my friend, he told me that he had to go into the Social Security offices in person and you absolutely want to have an appointment with them. You can wait for hours there and not have a resolution because it becomes too late in the...
