LOL... registering hands as lethal weapons? I'm a certified fourth degree black belt in Taekwondo and the only registration I've had to do was with the Kukkiwon in Korea in order to obtain a really cool certificate and identification card. I almost feel like answering that I can't wear gloves in...

I'm not sure how overstaying somehow makes it easier for him to become a citizen. Are you a citizen? You talk about possibly marrying the father of the child it seems you intend to carry to term - but at this time you're not sure? What type of work visa did your boyfriend have? It is possible...

That's a painful lesson. As stated above, it's the agreement you made without realizing you made it as it seems you didn't completely read what you signed. I remember upgrading my guitar many years ago and it cost me around $650 or so. The value to a musician of their instrument is obviously not...

The rider was found guilty. Having a hearing in person at the Transit Adjudication Bureau in Brooklyn is the only hope for reason. But once you admit that you didn't have the Select Bus Service ticket to ride they appear to treat it as a prima facie case of you being guilty unless you can prove...

Agreed on many accounts. As you know, even in balmy New York City you need to warm up the car in the winter for a few minutes if you want to avoid problems. But I think their issue was that the car is unlocked. It would seem that they expect vehicle owners to have the doors locked and use a...

Today's ruckus on social media reached me from citizens who are irate that a man received a parking ticket for warming up is unlocked car in a driveway, which belonged to his girlfriend. A few dozen angry people were arguing that the police should tear up the ticket and that issuing a parking...

My sympathies for what must have been a very traumatic experience. However, this is not a legal issue. It's a procedural issue. Your question implies that you're expecting to have every agency, licensing board and other organization that has your old information somehow be updated with your new...

I am unaware of a problem with using real names as part of an art exhibit that is essentially a school / educational project that is for non-commercial use. This is not a legal opinion for you to rely upon, just my own opinion and experience. I doubt there would be any lawsuit since those also...

Doesn't Verizon have a return policy and a full refund? Most of the time these phones have standard prices too so you should be able to straighten all of this out. Before thinking about the law you should always be contacting the other party to determine whether there is any dispute.

If you used a credit card, have you filed a complaint with your credit card provider?

We don't generally focus on international law here however there are many similarities between the U.S. and the U.K. Common sense should also dictate what is right and fair and often that is exactly the purpose of the law - to set expectations for what society would deem reasonable. I can't...

I'm glad you're not taking the approach to social media before making sure you have communicated with the photographer. It's New Year's week. People might be returning from vacation. Sometimes these things slide. Do what you can to settle the matter before taking any extreme action that cannot...

"My fiancé signed a contract with a wedding photographer (in her haste to plan things)... The contract was signed in late September 2016 for a date of May 12, 2017..." This is typically how a good attorney cross examines witnesses in court. :) Your fiancé had more than ample time to tell the...

Actually Paypal IS protecting the buyer against scammers. It specifically states that it confirms safe addresses for shipping. If someone is foolish enough not to follow the plain English instructions that refer to a Paypal confirmed address then they choose to take the risk that they are being...

Before suing the seller, you may wish to send written notice via a certifiable method of delivery. In that notice you can state your demands of what you want along with the possibility of needing to resort to legal measures if you cannot obtain what you believe is rightfully yours. You may wish...

Many years ago I worked as a musician booking and playing wedding gigs. I had been performing as a musician since high school and as the keyboardist and band leader, I booked my own work, hired musicians, etc. The cost of the contract isn't just about the work performed but also regarding...

I'd suggest you retain a criminal defense attorney. This is a very serious matter even though you may think that $55 worth of merchandise isn't really a big deal. Considering that you'll have a criminal record, it can significantly impact your future, especially of a young person. If you intend...

The possibility that you can sue in Florida is highly unlikely. I'm assuming when you say "where the contract was signed" means where you signed the contract, not you and the photographer. And even if both of you did sign in Florida, if you want to use the small claims court for a case, which...

You can try small claims court but you're going to have a very difficult time. I can't believe that you didn't even turn on the car and go for a drive in the car with the owner before agreeing to purchase the vehicle. We don't know what was represented to you, the type of damage the car has and...

Here is the statute pertaining to your 647(f) drunk in public citation. PENAL CODE OF CALIFORNIA PART 1. OF CRIMES AND PUNISHMENTS [25 - 680] TITLE 15. MISCELLANEOUS CRIMES [626 - 653.75] CHAPTER 2. Of Other and Miscellaneous Offenses [639 - 653.2] 647. Except as provided in paragraph (5) of...
