    Missing sign on part of block

    I've been to the New York City Traffic Violations Bureau and Parking Violations Bureau just a few times. Matters are heard in front of judges called "ALJs" or "Administrative Law Judges" aka "TVB Judges" (Transit Violation Bureau Judges) for traffic violations and PVB Judges for Parking...

    Small NYC business impact of congestion pricing

    @welkin - Unfortunately, my cynical experience is that the "voice being heard" public comment town hall is often just a charade to cover bases before implementing some regulation or action, claiming that a fair hearing with the public took place. My guess is that others with even more...

    Piercing the corporate Vail.

    I don't know whom you sued and whether you sued both the corporation and him personally or you just sued the corporation. It sounds like the latter is what you may have done. @Tax Counsel provides good insight. You have two different issues. One, you need to win the case first in order for...

    I was evicted after I moved out

    I'm sorry to hear about your cancer. It sounds like you may need an attorney who is a personal injury or toxic torts attorney and you seem to have someone who still should be able to give you some insight as to the chances of success in your situation. As such, your attorney, who knows all the...

    Excessive Phone Calls

    In summary, it would seem the answer is "it depends and probably not." As always, if there is an agreement in place, that needs to be reviewed since that would govern the terms and provide insight to answer the question. There are so many questions to ask but keep in mind the 'best interests of...

    I and several family members are victims of voter fraud. Help.

    Sorry to hear about your surprise. While you may be worried about possible election fraud and the outcome of the election, it doesn't seem there is likely cause for such concern in this instance. 1) I have seen significant amounts of online efforts made to promote voting and it is possible that...

    Is there a noncompete law?

    I'm guessing that this refers to seeing an online discussion about the court decision. The offer and agreement appears to have a non-compete clause or agreement which would be invalidated by the FTC's ban on non-compete restrictions. Given the timing of the post, the court in issue would be the...

    Is there a noncompete law?

    What @adjusterjack says should be taken seriously, especially with regard to sales. If it's drafted the right way (and I've drafted, reviewed and negotiated many), they will have a 'savings clause' which states something to the effect that if the stated limitation is deemed to be in violation of...

    Federal District Court Judge Strikes Down Biden Ban on Worker 'Noncompete' Contracts!

    I was wondering how it could possibly be upheld. I completely appreciate the plight of workers and employees from being held hostage to strict non-competition and non-disclosure agreements that are being used as weapons, especially those that are completely open ended and not tailored to address...

    Ownership, Title How to Prevent and Address Squatter Abuses Against Property Owners

    New York City squatters have been making headlines by evicting legal homeowners from their property, with extreme examples including the arrest of a homeowner trying to regain possession of their house in Flushing, Queens. With the influx of migrants seeking shelter and the arrest of a popular...

    Is this a valid defense to a DUI stop?

    This comment thread itself is hilarious, lol. I would be impressed by the ability to create such an inventive defense. However, after spending too much time in NYC around people who believe they are never wrong, I would find such defense suspect. I'd insist he explain why he couldn't drive in a...

    Is this a valid defense to a DUI stop?

    Someone just sent this video clip to me asking whether this would present a valid defense to a DUI stop and failure to walk a straight line. Would this hold up in court?

    Coop owner disputes with smoking issues

    @adjusterjack is exactly correct that New York requires a smoking policy (yet another New York Local Law - 147). But that alone may not going to solve the problem you're discussing. Trying to enforce any smoking policy is very difficult. How do you prove conclusively someone is smoking and that...

    Witnessed my friend's "accident"

    Reminded me of the 1996 movie "Sleepers" where our main characters steal a hot dog cart and toss it down the subway stairs, thinking no one will get harmed until a man appears and is almost killed by the cart. Our 'protagonists' ended up in jail for quite a while, likely for the same reason this...
