even in the case they are between 18 and 21 you never know what will happen. If some accident happens they will quickly forget all the friendship they shared with you and sue you themselves for letting them drink. Any way to shift the blame will be welcome. Also their victim, assuming that they...

Only they can answer this question. But experience tells me that they will just leave it there, having scared you. Otherwise they would have called the cops right away.

I don't know about the exact law in your state, but you have to keep in mind what "possession" usually means in law: it does not mean "ownership" or "having title to it", it means "having control and dominion" over something. Example: You drive your father's car. He owns it, he has title to...

Yikes, this is really bad, I am sorry to hear that. I cannot say if there is an easy way to get out of the contract, because that depends on the details of the contract and what you signed. It is not impossible, though. But you probably would have to go and see an attorney and have him...

Are the estimates in the amount of $ 550 or 3500? Do you still have the bill that was taped to your door? A receipt, cancelled check? If yes, I don't see how he can prevail in court.

If you are smart you will not allow any drinking by minors. Not only can you get into trouble with the cops for "aiding the delinquency of minors", you can get into much deeper trouble if something happens. Let's say one of the minors drinks and because of that falls down the stairs, gets run...

since the charges can really mess up your future (employers don't like to employ people with theft offenses on their records) you should consult a criminal defense attorney and work with him to get the best possible disposition of the case. That might be a guilty plea, or might not, Let your...

he should contact his car liability insurance company. Usually they will defend him against unreasonable claims.

It depends where how why and when the charge was made by who. If I understand your question correctly you say: the supervisor made charges about an employee that led or could lead to his termination, and now in court, he testifies that the charges were false. The employee might have a...

It depends on the law in your state. Generally lease contracts have to be in writing to be enforced, , what we call to be "within the statute of frauds." Lately some states, for example New Jersey, have changed their statute of frauds laws to make exceptions for short term leases. Therefore...

I am realy sorry to hear that. You have to work with your attorney on that, you cannot do that alone. He will know to what medical experts he needs to send you to get proof of the problems and how to present such a case. This is something that cannot be done fast and easy, it involves a lot of...

I don't know the exact details of this case so I don't know if you are "screwed" then, let me phrase it this way: It sounds as if you breached an existing contract. That would make you the "bad guy" in this case. But to "make you pay" for it, the plaintiff would have to show damages, and it...

Try to line up the police officer's conduct step by step and his possible justifications for each step and you will see where you made a jump in your conclusion which led you outside of what actually happened

Well, this question cannot be answered without many more details. But let me say this: it depends on the charges and the details of the case. Your cousin could be charged with a multitude of different things, but among them might be conspiracy, burglary, robbery, etc etc. The interesting part is...

well, actually what you should do in my opinion is get a credit report from them (and the other bureaus) as soon as you can to check that there are not more erroneous entries in it. If TU screwed up once they might have screwed up more. Then you always can and should write a letter to them...

Yes, this is a pretty common safety law. Most highway patrol officers killed in the line of duty are not killed by some ax wielding serial killer, but actually by motorists crashing into them or their cruisers while they are dealing with accidents, pulled over cars etc. Therefore the legislature...

This sounds like a pretty serious sentence for "speeding." What else happened? Did an accident occur? Was someone injured or killed? Was he driving under the influence? Without a license? If nothing like that happened, this is not a crime of moral turpitude and therefore will normally not...

What does your contract say? If your lease contract does not specifically say that a working phone jack, or a phone line or whatever will be provided it is not the landlord's duty to do so.

you are welcome, well, the problem is, that they relied on your promise. Legally, a contract is a promise. You promised to send them goods, they promised to pay you for it. They relied on that promise you gave, and then promised others something in reliance on that. That might not be smart...
