The English Channel is not very wide, only about 90 miles at the closest points between England and France. That distance doesn't seem like a whole lot, but when it comes to military invasions it's a formidable task. The Allied invasion consisted of over 7000 vessels departing from different...

Ronald Reagan was a gifted speaker and that skill, honed from years of acting and radio broadcastung) contributed to his high popularity during his time in office. He had very good speech writers that knew Reagan well and what lines he could deliver very effectively. He used his abilities to...

Apparently both of Trump's sons are in on the drone deal. It's an ethics problem for sure. Unfortunately, as the Trump family seems to be significantly ethically challenged, they likely never bothered to look into the issue.

I suspect that what you really want to know is whether you have a shot to win a money judgment in your favor. That depends on the details of where in the complex it happened, how exactly you ended up breaking your risk and what the landlord did or didn't do that was the primary cause of the...

If your landlord starts eviction proceedings, consult a landlord-tenant attorney for help. If you can't afford to pay a lawyer's fees there are likely several different resources in your state where you might get free or low cost legal help. The landlord has a right to be upset if she hasn't...

It is not malpractice. Malpractice is delivering professional services that fall below the minimal accepted standards of practice for that profession. How much you paid for the service is not a malpractice issue. This is, instead, a contract law matter. Don't automatically assume the doctor...

It's not an automatic legal conflict of interest. A legal conflict occurs when a lawyer represents a client whose interests conflict with another client's interests or when the representation would conflict with other interests of the lawyer, e.g. financial interests. Here, the conflict that...

I think that's right. We (all of us) had a similar discussion about mod powers a few years ago. :D

She would likely have a good claim against whomever left the loaded gun there. While that's mostly likely the gun owner we don't have all the facts to know how the loaded ended up where it was. The dog is free and clear. The dog didn't know it was loaded and didn't have any intent to shoot...

Or in case the former employer will owe the OP money. If there is any litigation or other action pending that would involve past and present employees, the OP may well want to keep those documents and perhaps consult a bankruptcy attorney to make sure where he/she stands in all this. Just...

Owners of franchises, especially if they just have one, are running a small business. In my experience, a lot small business owners don't know much about the laws that apply to them and that gets them in trouble. As a result, this doesn't surprise me much. It'll end up being a costly lesson for...

An older cat. I don't know much about his past experiences other than he was found as a stray and was a little underweight when he was discovered. The shelter took care of all that, he was definitely not underweight when my family gave him to me.

Yes, I distrust them because of their desire to rule the world. But I thought it good to have a cat on the inside to let me know what evil things they are planning. So far, apparently the plan is to take over as many homes as they can to soften us up. That's the reason for the cat distribution...

If the U.S. can carry on with a president who slept through most of his term, then it could survive having a cat as president. I respectfully nominate my cat for the job. He sleeps about 15 hours a day. :D

It's not often we see someone that talented. Even most child prodigies don't get close to what he's done by the age that most are graduating from high school. His next step is getting his LL.M in Tax; a step gets high approval from me. :D Having both CPA and bar licenses he'll do well as a tax...

The attorney should discuss with you his proposed response to the edit requests and the reasons for taking that approach. How long has it been since your attorney received the proposed changes from opposing counsel? What, if anything, has your attorney said to you about it so far? And when is...

I hope you meant to imply that the written agreement was signed by both you and the deceased, and that the deceased was mentally competent at the time he signed it. If that's the case then you've met at least one of the requirements of a valid contract, and perhaps two of them. The consideration...

When you say that he "owed [you] a good sum of money" for your caretaking, how much money is it and what does the $103,000 include? Your time? Out of pocket expenses necessary for his care? Something else? For any expenses you paid, do you have proof of those expenses? Are you a friend or...

Congratulations on getting your car back. Did the judge state the reason for his decision? If so, what was the reason? Did you receive back any storage and towing fees you had to pay the tow company? I assume by your mention of § 1983 that you are referring to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, which is one of...

If the car was improperly parked that may be cause for the towing, even though the car was "safely parked". For example, if state or local law prohibited parking there and towing was allowed as a remedy for the violation then that is indeed relevant to the towing issue you raise. So did the...
