    We defaulted on a Timeshare

    It seems that bankruptcy may be the appropriate choice. You should speak to a bankruptcy attorney or specialist about your finances. Regarding the timeshare, if it has a value to sell, that might be an option for you. It will be worse if you end up having a forced sale as I don't know that...

    Questions about the Notice of violation and hearing?

    V I'm very sorry to hear about the ticket you received for the Select Bus Service route. I'm actually fighting one of these tickets pro bono and have done some research already on these cases. IMHO, you should absolutely not pay the ticket and you should have an excellent chance of it being...

    moved to another state

    Judge is right but what wasn't mentioned was where the judgments were obtained. If it was in New York State, the New York statute of limitations on collection of a money judgment is 20 years. See N.Y. C.P.L.R. § 211(b) for the actual statute. What you are probably confusing is the 7 year...

    Speeding ticket on major boulevard in New York

    FYI, a motorist took a video of a police officer explaining that Mayor Bill di Blasio mandated that traffic enforcement (police) write speeding tickets and implied that it's the reason for the reduction in the speed limit. The police officer ended up with a great deal of trouble after the video...

    My Pro Bono Case v. the MTA for SBS Bus Fare Evasion

    Wow... it seems incompetence is how it all began many years ago. Someone pointed me to Allan Rosen who has authored a series of articles that excoriate the MTA and the SBS bus system's problems. Other articles dated even further back in 2011 have dozens of comments on them about the same issues...

    My Pro Bono Case v. the MTA for SBS Bus Fare Evasion

    I noticed it because the first time I stepped on the bus I always transfer to visiting Queens, I was told to get off the bus because I didn't have a ticket. I thought the machines at the stop were Metro Card vending machines - a brilliant idea . After finding out that they were paper based and...

    News AAA Study Concludes Marijuana DUI Limits are Unreliable

    An AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety (American Automobiles Association) study concluded that (1) the specific "per se" legal limits for the presence of marijuana (THC) as per DUI laws are inherently unreliable without additional supporting evidence; and (2) the number of fatalities involving...

    My Pro Bono Case v. the MTA for SBS Bus Fare Evasion

    Not sure who they are but they do have shields that greatly resemble police shields. They are transit officers of some sort and will change the description as appropriate in the article. The agent threatened to call the police and have her arrested because she didn't immediately provide ID...

    My Pro Bono Case v. the MTA for SBS Bus Fare Evasion

    The following article doesn't even describe the full set of events, which had me disgusted earlier today. Pro Bono: My MTA Select Bus Service Fare Evasion Case In short, a scared woman who barely understands English was confused by the absurd, incompetent and non-existent instructions on how...

    Editorial Pro Bono: My MTA Select Bus Service Fare Evasion Case

    I would like to tell you why I'm taking a fare evasion case pro bono. When the Select Bus Service came to my neighborhood in Queens, it took me weeks to understand how it worked and why anyone would want to move from an electronic to an unreliable paper fare system. Sadly there has been a...

    Background Check - Wrongfully Denied Employment?

    Thanks for the follow up. I'm very sympathetic and hope that there is some type of reform so that it allows you to pick up close to where you left off with a bona fide second chance. To some measure I do support the right to be forgotten in the EU. However, as written, the breadth and compliance...

    Statute of Limitations in Minnesota & Federal

    There are two ways that quickly come to mind regarding "reopening" a case: 1) An appeal to an existing judgment on the merits; 2) An order to show cause to open a default judgment. An appeal can be brought in a limited amount of time, usually between 30 and 90 days. We don't know what type of...

    Negligence, Other Injury Marijuana Use Leads to Murder, Failure to Warn Lawsuit

    Thanks much! Tomorrow's article should be fun - was very interesting reading about new information surrounding THC limits and testing. Reliable information is still in an emerging state and it's clear that the law will be adapting quickly. Didn't realize that Vegas is that attuned to cannabis -...

    Background Check - Wrongfully Denied Employment?

    I read too quickly. @adjusterjack states that the FCRA allows the reporting of convictions that are older than 7 years. The attorney's statement agrees but adds that Texas law limits what can be provided so that it would exclude convictions greater than 7 years old. So I took a look at Texas...
