    mechanic from hell

    You can call the police in the jurisdiction where the shop is located and explain what is going on and see if there is anything they can do to check what the status is. Up until the shop breaks the law it is a civil matter. But if any laws were violated in gaining title or selling the bus it...

    What recourse if any do we have about greenbelts misrepresented ?

    I suggest that you sit down because this is what the C2 commercial zone in San Antonio allows for. C-2* Commercial District (Sec. 35-310.10) C-2 districts accommodate community commercial uses, with unlimited building size, and building height limitation of 25 feet. Examples of permitted uses...

    Copyright Being sued for copyright and not sure what to do

    I never said that. If that was the way you remember it then quote my saying that and what post # it was in. What I did was ask a question. What assumptions you or other member made is not my problem. I understand that you wanted to prove me wrong. I'm used to that on this site. But don't...

    Copyright Being sued for copyright and not sure what to do

    No, that was your assertion by adding the word simply demanding settlement didn't amount to extortion. I said that the facts of the offer matters. Here is my original question: Any good or bad CA attorney knows that once a lawsuit is filed it becomes a matter of public record. So if you...

    Copyright Being sued for copyright and not sure what to do

    Well there is plenty of case law that says otherwise in many states. Attorneys have been held to civil extortion by asking for settlement before the case is heard. In some states the attorneys claim the letter (or speech) is protected by litigation privilege but more often than not the...

    Need advice on an auto theft claim when adjuster is suggesting fraud

    One question at this point. How did the thief get into the car? Did they break a window, use a jimmy bar, or was the car unlocked? Do you know if the video shows how they gained entry?

    Copyright Being sued for copyright and not sure what to do

    At no time did I ever say that an offer to settle was an admission that was admissible in court. Did I? I was speaking about between plaintiff and defendant that would bolster plaintiff's position in negotiations. And I also said that an offer before an answer to the complaint is premature...

    Granting Septic Easement for Newly Divided Property

    You can do that. It is called an easement in gross as opposed to in easement appetent. An easement appetent runs with the land not the owner of the land and is usually in perpetuity. An easement in gross runs with the owner of the property and terminates when the grantee no longer owns the...

    Copyright NFT of my Baseball Cards

    It doesn't matter if you give the original and the duplicate to the same person or not. Where there was only one now there are two. That decreases the value of the one by 50%.

    The court decides what damages are awarded not the plaintiffs attorney. Just more pontification. Nothing to back it up.

    Rudy Giuliani’s NY State Law License Suspended Over ‘Demonstrably False’ Statements

    It is a manifestation of weaponizing the civil and criminal legal systems. If they (and it doesn't matter who they are) disagree with you they go after your ability to earn a living by suspending or revoking you business license. It doesn't matter if you are a barber or a lawyer.

    Copyright Being sued for copyright and not sure what to do

    Doesn't doing so violate the code of ethics that attorneys have to follow? Isn't doing so a form of extortion to coerce a defendant into settling the case or just paying the demand?

    Copyright Being sued for copyright and not sure what to do

    I know more about civil litigation than you can imagine. But what you are speaking here is negotiations to avoid a lawsuit and not filing one and demanding money. So you didn't answer the question. Once again, do you send a demand for settlement along with the complaint? I have recommended...

    Copyright Being sued for copyright and not sure what to do

    Guilt as in admission to the allegation when an answer has not yet been filed. Do you run your law firm that way, you ask for money when the complaint is served? OP said they wanted $150K so you think $2K is a good starting point?
