I was just employed by a start up company and they want me to get an affidavit saying that I am the only one who has claim to any business information. for example if I were to get married and then divorced my spouse could not have any of my shares in the company
Short version is that you and/or your employer should hire a lawyer to properly draw up all of the paperwork you are discussing/seeking. It would seem that your employer would have an interest in doing this because I assume that there may be additional person(s) --whether employees or business... Read more »
How many day can I wait after getting speeding ticket? Am I gonna get extra charged?
There should be information on your ticket which details when you can pay---I certainly assume that you can still pay now. That said, I would recommend that you contact a traffic ticket lawyer or 2 in the area/jurisdiction where the ticket was issued and find out whether or not they think you can... Read more »
Would be paid off. The owner sold it to another party. Is this legal. Even if we went in default ,but we're never told we were in default. Never missed a payment.
Since you indicate the property has been sold, if this is important to you, then you need to immediately contact a real estate and/or contract lawyer, bring the contract you have for the lawyer to review and then obtain your options. Good luck.

Since this sounds contentious, you should consult with a few estate /probate attorneys in your area, discuss your specific case with them, and then hire the one with whom you are most comfortable. You need to do this so that you become aware of the options available to you.
If you had insurance covering the vehicle, then you need to report the accident to your insurance company and let it handle this matter----that is why you have insurance (plus the law makes it mandatory for you to do so). The insurance company will investigate the accident and assuming you are at... Read more »
I can go into more detail if need in a private email.
There is no law that you must receive a citation---those are discretionary.
Yes----quite often in matters involving accidents and damage to property, a ticket is issued based on the law enforcement officer's investigation, which does not include his witnessing any portion of the accident/collision.
I recently received a speeding ticket for going 70 in a 55. I did not know the speed limit, as I had just turned down the street, so I was following traffic. The officer that pulled me over said that it was not his jurisdiction. When he pulled me over, he said that he was pulling me over for... Read more »
You should consult with a few traffic ticket lawyers in the area/jurisdiction you were pulled over and then hire the one with whom you are most comfortable. Good luck.
Yes but it depends on the evidence and does the trier of fact believe beyond a reasonable doubt that a murder occurred. Testimony alone can meet this burden of proof.

I was issued a speeding ticket in Tangipahoa Parish. The trooper put the incorrect time, 1045 instead of 945, and also the wrong registration expiration year, 2021 instead of 2022. Am I able to contest the ticket as voidable for inaccurate information?
You can contest it and if done properly it attacks the credibility of the trooper but it still may not be enough to cast reasonable doubt whether or nor you were speeding----in that regard, it's sorta what is the allegation of how many mphs you were speeding.
No other criminal charges. Parties involved believe their drinks were durgged and do not remember much of the night. Had a ride on the phone to pick them up at time of contact with officer.
DWIs are serious matters these days---based on your post you believe you have some defenses and there appears to be some confusion----hire a DWI or criminal defense attorney to represent you. If there are multiple defendants, then each defendant will need a separate attorney. Good luck.

Contact a lawyer who handles business disputes or a contract lawyer or a collections lawyer in your area----bring them the agreement signed by your partner and ask them the best way to enforce it, that is, collect the monies owed.
