    Consumer Law, Warranties Rooting/Bootloading and Warranty

    I am very familiar with rooting mobile phones, including jail breaking iPhones, etc. I haven't seen the warranty terms but chances are you're going to have problems. Removing the rooting and trying to factory reset just means that you're trying to cover up the fact that you tampered with the...

    No justice

    I'm sorry to hear about your daughter losing her personal injury lawsuit. There are too many facts we don't know and answers we don't have. For example, if the defendant rear ended your daughter while on the phone, I would have to think that your attorney subpoenaed the defendant's phone...

    New parking fees

    Look at your lease - what was the agreement? That will govern. Chances are high that even if you're right any remedy will just postpone the ability of the landlord to increase the parking space fees and implement rule changes within a short notice period, e.g. one month. Not that it makes any...

    Guest issues

    I haven't seen the roommate agreement and verbiage is important. You should also think about what it will take to enforce such an agreement. What are your remedies if your roommate breaches its terms? Eviction? You may have a legal right to do something. Enforcing your legal right is something...

    Roomate Ex-roommate will not return property entrusted to him

    You can't report the items stolen because they are not stolen. Hard to believe that you didn't send him your address well in advance, such as a place where to forward mail. To be honest, it seems like we're not getting the whole story and that would come out in court during any lawsuit. I can't...

    Injured myself outside work and resigned still eligible?

    I don't know if workers compensation is applicable based upon the statement "off work hours" with regard to the weight lifting. If you were injured in the gym and couldn't perform work in a stock room job, this would not be covered under workers compensation. As to whether you have disability...

    Moral turpitude

    One other thought is the mention of "moral turpitude" which is a term most would not use except when immigration status is in issue. I'm wondering whether that is the real concern here.

    Moral turpitude

    Many attorneys suggest not paying a civil demand as a result of the odds against being prosecuted for what usually amounts to several hundred dollars. In your case it's actually a fraction of the amount I've seen. If you want peace of mind, you may be able to have a compromise agreement either...

    hosting a lender credit appl on continuing education course site

    I've done both professionally - website development and the legal agreements to which you're referring. @hrforme is absolutely right in saying that this is absolutely not something you should entangle yourself. The legal issues an attorney would cover include compliance as well as liability and...

    judgment lien

    Try to put yourself in the bank's shoes. Why would anyone simply agree to give you $15,000 - because you insist you can't pay for what you purchased? And I agree about retaining an attorney and can only wonder what an attorney will claim they can do for you as you don't dispute owing the...

    eviction help

    Filing restraining orders? I don't know who has the time and money for petty issues. In most instances these arise as a result of nonpayment of rent or other monetary deficiencies. As has been suggested above, if rent isn't being paid the best course of action is usually just pursuing an...

    Adjustment of Status

    The truth is that we have no idea what is happening with your case with USCIS. Your immigration attorney is in the best position and should be able to give you an honest answer as to what is taking such a long time. Considering that Donald Trump is now the president of the United States and he...

    Consumer Law, Warranties Is this taekwondo - karate contract voidable?

    Credibility is for the judge or jury to decide. Is he going to perjure himself regarding handing out used martial arts belts for Taekwondo promotions? Doubtful. And then there is the Kukkiwon fee - the bogus scholarship paper. Just be organized and all those fluffy honors won't mean anything. It...

    Consumer Law, Warranties Is this taekwondo - karate contract voidable?

    The belting practice is absurd and embarrassing. The WTF registration you paid seems to be fraud. If you were told that it was the fee for the WTF registration, that is what it was supposed to be earmarked to pay. That could be a separate claim in itself and you may be better off filing multiple...

    Consumer Law, Warranties Is this taekwondo - karate contract voidable?

    I'll respond in greater detail later. Posting your honest, accurate opinion of facts is not actionable. There is no defamation claim without a false statement. The mistake many make is greatly exaggerating claims to the point where they depart from opinion and move towards a false statement...

    Consumer Law, Warranties Is this taekwondo - karate contract voidable?

    I'll respond to the rest but this one has me incredulous. Used martial arts belts? You can buy a quality belt for well under $20 and given the cost of promotion tests, which I'm confident you were charged, there is absolutely no reason whatsoever not to have brand new karate / taekwondo /...

    Consumer Law, Warranties Is this taekwondo - karate contract voidable?

    A couple of things. In several instances companies like the one you describe are the front for the martial arts school not wanting to do the dirty work of debt collection. Unfortunately some can be absolutely ruthless and unreasonable because they really don't care about the "customer" because...

    Consumer Law, Warranties Is this taekwondo - karate contract voidable?

    I have modified the limits so you can upload the attachment. Coincidentally I believe that I have seen this contract before. The back of the contract may help but I'll need to review both sides. I'll explain after taking a quick look.

    Consumer Law, Warranties Is this taekwondo - karate contract voidable?

    I'm very sorry to hear about your story and bad experience with the martial arts, specifically Taekwondo. I truly hope this doesn't damper your spirits towards this amazing martial art that has given me and many of my friends and colleagues so much. This is extremely strange to me to hear for a...
