Document every complaint and make sure not to miss an iota. ;) If you have a pile of complaints against an employee on file then you can inform the CEO that she is a serious liability should she ever skirt the line of a lawsuit. Imagine what it will look like should the company get sued and...

The best you can do is usually write to the site to tell them of the defamatory material. They don't want to get involved, especially Microsoft. It seems like the material has already been taken down, FYI. If you can prove that the statement is untrue you can sue for defamation. However, be...

Your lawyer should know... since your husband was attacked, why not get a restraining order?

Why not? The entire amount of a joint account may be withdrawn by either party. It is logical to conclude that if the debtor can withdraw all the funds for himself, the creditor can freeze those funds that can be accessible to the debtor. This is sometimes why people try to "hide" money in their...

From what I know, federal law provides extensive protection against attachment of pension benefits. This can be found both with Employment Retirement Income Security Act's (ERISA) "spendthrift rule" and the Internal Revenue Code (IRC 401(a)-13) provides similar as does federal bankruptcy law...

I believe that Canada allows dual citizenships. The US is a different story. I've heard different stories, one stating that renunciation of foreign citizenship is required another stating that there is absolutely nothing forbidding it in the Constitution although I think under the oath you must...

Oh, OK, so I think you are asking a different question. From what I know if you have the ability to be in the US you have the ability to be in the US via your work visa. The fact that you retain a residence in Canada does not restrict you but see an important detail below in the application...

OK, part of the reason why it is difficult for anyone to answer your question is because you need to keep all your comments in the same place. How is anyone supposed to figure out what's going on if they don't even know where to looK? Use the reply button and reply to your own post. If a...

Things vary. Canadian law is also not as popular as American law. I'll take a look.

I saw a case involving this judge that I think made the wrong decision. Are these cases based in law or is this all dramatics? In this case a woman who ran a small room for parties such as small weddings, anniversaries and the like, had rented out a room for an anniversary party to this woman...

Is this supposed ot be a non-profit company? Frequently people create 501(c)(3) corporations which provides for federal tax exemption. I'm not sure I understand but it seems that you plan on having a person provide you with 33% of the money and that somehow you'll be able to supply an additional...

You may want to create a corporation of some type. There are various kinds that would limit your liability and it depends also upon whether you will have partners. Will you? In many cases an s-corporation is a good vehicle since it allows you to easily add shareholders and if under 35 (I think)...

It seems you have a couple of things to think about in addition to a little bit of a problem. (1) You have to think about the relationship with your employer and how it might be affected. At this point there may be no dispute since the case hasn't gone more than three days. You may not want...

It all depends. If the company is merely being used as a shell to protect the individual, then it can be done. The more evidence there is that the company is just a shell or that you have commingled personal money with the corporation the more likely the veil can be pierced. Either way, if they...

Alan, there is no "agreement" that covers every situation although I'm sure there are some that are samples and you can find them in a bookstore. I'm sure the people here also provide legal services if that is what you are looking for. I think that you should probably think about hiring a lawyer...

First of all, I hope that I hope that your mother took steps to report this bad person to the authorities for grand theft. That doesn't mean you'll get the money back or change the situation unfortunately. With regard to the alleged bank officer's misrepresentation, it's her word against the...

Absolutely. First, take pictures of everything the contractor did and make sure they are as clear as possible to how they were done incorrectly. Next, get two estimates with regard to how much it will cost to correct the shoddy work. Third, you should send a certified return receipt letter to...

Oral agreements are perfectly fine, just more difficult to prove in the event of a dispute. All of you should expect to testify although it might be your word against his. Normally you might have a problem with the "statute of frauds" -- which is a law that prevents agreements of a certain type...

It's difficult to say anything without seeing the contract. If the agent cannot point to where the fees jump if your wife withdraws then you should write a letter, certified return receipt, to this effect and send it to the company. You should pay the same amount you used to pay per month...

You are the victim of a well known scam and the delay that sometimes happens. Typically you are sent an endorsed check for more than the car is worth and then asked to send back the difference. Not sure why you need an attorney unless you have something to hide. You will have to pay back the...
