    Daycare Tuition

    I'm assuming your child wasn't harmed and your concern is about the future likelihood of harm. Did you speak to anyone about the incident and about what you intended to do? What was there response? It's much easier if they consent to your taking your child out of day care and you confirm it in...

    Caused wreck with no license - Texas

    I'm sorry to hear about what happened. It seems your brother-in-law unfortunately has a propensity for trouble. If you're saying that your brother-in-law was driving without a license, I wouldn't expect him to see it coming back any time soon and don't know enough to comment. I can point you to...

    New Manager Demands I Remove My Business Trailer From The Premises

    I don't have all the details and it's moot because you won't have the case heard in court before the end of the lease nor will it matter. The real question is whether, if you're interested in purchasing the property, you will be allowed to store your trailer. The answer seems to be in the...

    New Manager Demands I Remove My Business Trailer From The Premises

    Your interpretation is clever but it may not matter. Do you value the renewal of your existing lease? You can argue in court that the provision was waived by the prior manager. So when your existing lease term ends, the new manager can request to change the lease provision to explicitly exclude...

    Assault & Battery Arrested for Assult with a Deadly Weapon

    We all admit we don't fully appreciate what happened. I'm sure you weren't charged with terrorist threats but I do understand the assault with a deadly weapon and vandalism charges. I'm glad that you're going to hire a criminal defense lawyer because you really should have one. Getting arrested...

    What to Expect at

    Ask yourself a question about the bigger picture - do you really want to continue this relationship with your brothers, especially your older brother for going this far? I have to wonder whether this is petty nonsense - does your brother have an attorney or did he file it himself? I don't know...

    Assault & Battery Arrested for Assult with a Deadly Weapon

    Here is a thought. Was the car on your property? If someone had closed the car door of another person for that person's "benefit" one would have to ask why that even took place and whether that is what was grabbed first and precipitated the circumstances. In addition, there is the question of...

    $$$ inducement by my lawyer to make me agree to settle- like a bribe!

    I'm not sure the case is actually settled without remedy. Tell your attorney you're not accepting or signing anything until what you want has been addressed, by email if need be which may also serve as proof that you've made such a request.

    Indemnity Clause in Contract

    What I'm telling you should not be considered and is not legal advice, just one person's thoughts on what he is reading. On the surface it seems to be a harsh clause which would make a home owner potentially responsible for injury suffered by a worker even as a result of the worker's negligence...

    Property Invasion, Damages, Trespass Trespassing

    If this is a criminal trespassing charge I have to wonder what prompted your arrest. You should absolutely not discuss the details of such a charge in public and you should obtain the help of an attorney. Let's assume you can get a sworn statement from a witness. I'm not sure that helps you in...

    Holding the Local Municipalities Accountable

    I think I understand where the original poster is coming from. She has a local business which is being thwarted by local government - or so she believes. I think that the strong tone in the original question might be misleading and more a reflection of frustration and emotion. I've seen issues...

    Animal Injury, Dog Bite My Neighbor's Dog Bit Me

    That's a great find. What Judge Koch did well was holding back from restraining the defendant from creating high quality made for TV video of people acting poorly. And as he said, he has created legal preceding and law to be cited for who has possession of a baseball and what is defined as a catch!

    Animal Injury, Dog Bite My Neighbor's Dog Bit Me

    The 90s were also a great time.... Here's the best I could find of Mayor Ed Koch as Judge of the People's Court

    Animal Injury, Dog Bite My Neighbor's Dog Bit Me

    I met him a few times. He always seemed even taller than he actually was. And was he ever animated! Jerry... yes, I remember him. I recall thinking picturing life at home and knowing which of the two of them controlled the TV remote! :D

    Alcohol & Drugs: DUI, DWI Driving after having medical marijuana

    So here is the NIS explaining what is medical marijuana? Apparently it all depends upon what it is you're receiving that will determine the extent of impairment, if any. Regardless, there is always the presence of some THC although it can be in extremely small quantities but potentially...

    Alcohol & Drugs: DUI, DWI Driving after having medical marijuana

    Let me be clear - THC is something entirely different. That surely is driving under the influence without a doubt. CBD is different. It does not contain the chemicals which can cause psychoactive effects. Apparently some products which use CBD are different. But under no circumstances are you...

    Animal Injury, Dog Bite My Neighbor's Dog Bit Me

    I remember Mayor Ed Koch aka the judge on the People's Court often explaining the "One Free Bite Law" in New York State. That said, here's an idea which hasn't been offered. If you're in an apartment building or community which has house rules or condo association rules, check the pet provisions...

    Alcohol & Drugs: DUI, DWI Driving after having medical marijuana

    Unfortunately the marijuana marketing machines are in full force and effect, which leads to a massive amount of misinformation being released and a misunderstanding. I performed a random search in Google and this came out on top from University of Colorado regarding cannabidiol (CBD). Can...

    Comment by 'Michael Wechsler' in article 'Parking Lot Accidents: Fault and Liability'

    Thank you for your excellent comments. Since security and surveillance cameras have become far more prevalent, including street cameras, it's a good time to provide a revision!

    How can you find name change records?

    And as usual, you make excellent points and astute observations as well. I would think that those exceptions can be made by a judge and kept out of the public eye. I am interested in knowing what exists. As was popular before, this area is dominated by public access databases which charge fees...
