Yep. You got scammed. I suggest you tell the dealership that they have 24 hours to refund your money or else you will file a complaint against their dealership license with the State of California. In addition to filing the complaint, you can also file against the dealer in the local small claims... Read more »

If you are forming an LLC, is the... Read more »

I want to know what would be the best route regarding necessary actions. A business was sold without paying every partner.

answered on Jun 25, 2022
Other than stating that every partner was not paid, you include no other facts. Try to avoid litigation. Have a free telephone consultation with counsel.

Whether you’re a landlord or tenant in the foreclosure process, it is advisable to consult a lawyer. The foreclosure process can be complex and you may need adequate legal representation to guide you along the way.

It appears that he is threatening to tell people bad things about you, not physically attack you or anything like that. Arguably it's a threat to defame (slander) you. Could you sue him if he did? I probably wouldn't bother.

I am curious if it is legal for ok. Stores to refuse cash on ordered goods when you pick them up when the business has nothing posted?

Your recourse is to not accept the item and go... Read more »
