    help-getting NASTY!!

    Oha. Well, you do have rights. First of all, one would have to see if you do have a valid contract. Let us assume you do. They claim they made a mistake. Unless they can show that you in fact had agreed on different terms and they only made a mistake putting the numbers into the contract...

    I NEED ANSWERS....fast...please!

    Basically yes, if you cause damage you are responsible for it, if a minor without a license causes an accident, he is responsible for the damage. But permitting a minor without a license to drive is at least contributory negligence, so this guy would have some problems asserting his claims in...

    Illegal to post images?

    Well, there is the common sense answer and the legal answer: The common sense answer is: take the pictures off. If the girls don't feel comfortable with it you should be a gentleman and respect that. The legal answer is, as always, not as short. It depends on the details, on why you...

    NYS Laws

    There often are some handbooks on the market, called "Landlord's handbook" or similar and state specific. Go to www.amazon.com and put in New York landlord and similar search terms. The law itself is pretty dry to read, so it is better to have such an annotated book, if it was written by a...

    Do auto accident cases have juries?

    it depends on what kind of case and in what jurisdiction. In a case with multiple fatalities, and damages in the millions and conflicting witness testimony and so on, you very probably would see a jury trial, in a clear cut fender bender with damage of $ 500 probably not. There are certain...

    No Police Report

    yeah, turn it in to your insurance. They are usually handling these things. If your are not in a "no-fault" state, this looks like it will be handled on a comparative negligence basis. Probably both drivers were somewhat negligent, he because he tried to pass cars on the right though he was...

    Civil suit for infidelity

    Yes and no, first of all it depends on KY state law which I am not really familiar with. Most states nowadays have abolished outright provisions that provided penalties or remedies in adultery cases, but some Southern states might still have such. But even absent any outright statute there...

    Arrest, Search, Seizure, Warrant 4th Amendment and getting the raw end of the deal

    Hm, what I am missing here is why those cops came to your apartment in the first place. Was it to execute an arrest warrant? Did they already know or suspect that you had illegal drugs in your apartment? Did you smell of that stuff when you opened the door, did it smell inside? Somehow something...

    Can she take her?

    This is one of the trickiest and most unpleasant problems in family law. There are basically two rights conflicting: The right of the custodial parent, who has the right to move wherever she wants, and take the child with her, since she has custody, and the visitation rights of the non-custodial...

    Suspended Liscense, What do Cops Know?

    It would be a pretty stupid thing to do, because by affixing a fake registration sticker on the car you would commit a whole bunch of crimes as there would be: forgery, uttering, driving without insurance, driving with a suspended license and so on. Depending on your state's criminal code...

    Naturalization, Citizenship Who qualifies for Dual Citizenship

    I assume you are a Canadian citizen and are wondering if you might be an American citizen, too. The question is, what citizenship did your parents have at the time of your birth?

    Statue of limitations

    There are, and actually there are more than one. It depends on the exact charge being brought. Indecency with a child, a felony, has a statutory limit of 10 years after the child's 18th birthday. Sexual assault or injury to a child in most cases have a 10 year limitation from the time...

    Voting while unaffiliated?

    Of course you can vote without being affiliated with a party. The party affiliation registration only serves to make people eligible for primary voting. In most states, if you want to vote in the primaries, that are the elections that select a party's candidate, only the people affiliated...

    Other Immigration Law Canadian wants to stay with American in California... Please help!!

    Yes, Canadians are treated with preference. All other foreigners need to either have a visa or at least go through an inspection process where they will be given an I-94 and their entry will be recorded (and soon their exit, too). I still think it is the easiest way to leave the country and...

    Other Immigration Law Canadian wants to stay with American in California... Please help!!

    LOL always listen to your lawyer. He usually is right. The problem is, you are here without documentation of being here. This is not your fault, because the American authorities just do this with Canadian tourists. So if you could establish that you are here within the legal frame, you would not...

    Alcohol & Drugs: MIP, MIC, Intoxication school and police conviction

    No, this is not double jeopardy. The double jeopardy clause protects you only against being put on trial for the same offense a second time in a regular court of law. The school procedures are disciplinary procedures that are independent of any court proceedings, compare them with an adult being...

    False accused of stealing.

    If I understand your story correctly, you are being accused of taking some jerky that was outside this break room for sale inside and eating it. That would actually satisfy the elements of theft. Contrary to a common belief, theft happens once you move a thing that is not yours with the...
