You can sue in small claims court. You can visit the Colorado Courts webpage for all the forms.

For technical (legal) advice you may want to contact a lawyer. Expect to pay for the lawyer's time.

Clearly there is more to this story.

Your options are: (1) litigation in small claims-request replevin or (2) pay the amount.

The lack of a written quote presents an evidentiary problem for both sides because it allows both sides to interpret the facts differently with little to... View More

While a lawyer can be very helpful (esp. with understanding the law), a lawyer is not required for any litigation in which you represent yourself (aka pro se).

No. While under some circumstances there might be a shared obligation for regular maintenance of a boundary fence, that would not include having to repair damage carelessly caused by a co-owner. They should consider turning it in to their homeowner's insurance company.

Based on your facts it is possible for a claim to be filed to recoup some or all of the damage related to the accident. You cannot be made to assume another person's debt, unless there are other factors involved that are not mentioned. Whether a claim is filed and/or whether the claim will be... View More

You will need to take them to court. This likely can be handled in small claims court. The forms can be found at the CO Courts webpage. A lawyer can assist (or wholly handle) this matter, but a lawyer is not required (esp. for small claims cases). Prior to filing it may be advisable to send a... View More

You may have grounds for constructive eviction. You will need to contact a lawyer. While Colorado Legal Services and your local bar have resources for landlord-tenant issues, you may have to hire a lawyer.

The normal rule in Colorado is that 5 years is maximum allowable term in which property can be reclaimed. However, there are numerous exceptions. Since guns are registered, the 5 year limitation likely does not apply. While it is debatable whether you are under a legal obligation to return the gun... View More

Absent terms in the lease agreement, the landlord is proposing to breaching the terms of the lease. The landlord cannot terminate the lease (just like you cannot) provided that you are not in violation of the lease agreement (i.e. current with your rent). However, both the tenant and the landlord... View More

Jail time is possible, but unlikely. Similarly setting up a new payment arrangement may not be a realistic possibility. The critical part, is that you will need to start paying the court award quickly AND continue to pay.

I assume this is for payment. If it is, yes you can. Similarly if wish to cease co-ownership (which may not exist if you are the sole party listed on title) via a forced sale, this is also likely an option.

You may, but you will need to contact a lawyer directly to see for certain. Only a lawyer (on a private basis) can evaluate the merits of your case and provide guidance.

Co-owners cannot unreasonably restrict access to jointly held property (i.e. hiding a wholly preventing another party's use). This is likely not a criminal violation per se, but there is a clear civil cause of action. You can likely seek damages in small claims court.

If you intend to introduce evidence and have testimony about the agreement/estimate, it is recommended that both people attend. It is not certain from your facts if your husband is required (a reasonable arguement can be made that he is not required), but it is always safer to prepare for... View More

This relates to jurisdiction. Without getting into all the details, both Colorado and New York should have jurisdiction over the case. I assume for your convenience you would like to sue in Colorado. This is fine, but be aware that the company can raise a jurisdictional challenge (whether this will... View More

Potentially. As a general rule if you are injured as a result of shoplifting you can seek damages. However, certain factors (mostly based on the nature of the whole event) can reduce the award if you were partially responsible for the injuries (e.g. did you first attack the security guards, etc.)....

Contact a personal injury lawyer or a medical malpractice lawyer. The lawyer can review your physical injury and assess the actionably of the HIPPA violation. The attorney can also handle collection of the co-pay amounts that should be returned.

Probably not. Granny can make gifts as she pleases. Unless Granny lacked the mental capacity to understand what she was doing, or there was fraud or undue influence, it's an inter-vivos gift that is not part of Granny's probate estate. Granddaughter has a tough row to hoe to win that... View More

Yes you can. Contacts can be formed via oral agreements, text messages, performance (action), and written agreement. Be aware that you have to prove that an agreement was formed. Based on your facts the text messages should prove this, but also collect any receipts or other evidence that you... View More

Since only a judge/magistrate can make a final determination, I cannot say with certainty what the result would be. If there is documented evidence that you forgave the loan, you generally cannot revive the loan. However, you could argue that the text was not a legally binding debt relief but was a... View More
