You need to consult with an attorney to find out if it is registered or taken
It's been auctioned, judge reversed the purchaser of the auction in Dec. 2020. I am now being sued for everything. I was not advised of the court date by my counsel and no one showed to represent me. My calls have not been returned. And to top that off my identity has been stolen and used. I... Read more »
What is your question?
She said because it was training that the state makes them do so that we can care for elderly that she doesnt have to pay us
Your employer does not need to pay you for time spent in training programs, but ONLY if they can meet all of the following criteria: (1) the training is outside normal work hours; (2) the training is voluntary (i.e. not required to perform or keep your job); (3) the training is not job-related; and...

I work for FedEx as a housekeeper through a company called GDI. There are currently no designated areas for employees to have breaks on the premises. There are two conference rooms we are allowed to take breaks if they are not in use in but there is no guarantee we will be able to take a break away... Read more »
There is no legal requirement that an employer give you a designated break room or rest area.
You need to hire an attorney and get a motion to quash on file. Depending on how long ago the warrant was issued, you may currently have a revoked drivers license. Your attorney can help clear that up through this process as well. Then you need to defend or resolve the DUI.
11 months later, I got into a car accident. Officer gave m a revoked license ticket and a traffic ticket. I know I shouldn’t been driving. How do I go about with the old and new traffic violations. I wasn’t arrested by the officer just An I bond.
These are serious charges. You should retain the assistance of an attorney as soon as possible.
I recently hired an attorney for help with a missed court appearance for my name change case. I sent the attorney his check in March and he accepted and signed for it too. Since then, I have barely heard from him, and he has never talked to me without me calling. He needs to file a motion, which he... Read more »
You simply send him an email or a letter stating that you are terminating his services effectively immediately, and that you demand a 100% refund. You might state the reason for the termination, but it is not necessary. You have the absolute right to fire him no matter what the reason. You can also... Read more »
What can I do about this it’s now over a month and well over $1200 the company owner keeps saying he’ll pay me but never does and takes a while to reply
If your employer continues to refuse to pay you, then your best bet is to file an action in small claims court in the city you performed the work in to recover the pay you're owed.
If its a case by case basis, what companies require a licensing agreement?
So you're talking about potential infringement and there are some specific details that need to be discussed.
Your best course of action is to consult with an attorney before making any decisions.
I won my case for selling a car with a vehicle sales agreement. The other party did not show. I see lots of things on the docket that I am not sure about. Due Date , satisfied, 851- Judgement, what do these headings mean?
You should reference 735 ILCS 5/2-1401 for post judgment proceedings. Make sure that your order is final and appealable, meaning that it resolves all claims brought against all parties in the action. Assuming that to be the case, you will likely want to file a citation to discover assets, a... Read more »
I updated my registration but got a court date notice. Do I need a lawyer? What can I expect?
No, if you’re in lake or cook county, you may be able to show up, show proof of updating it, and get it dismissed.
The cheapest way would be to pay the $164 fine. It’s a non moving offense that is not reported to the Secretary of State and does not go on your record.
he is beneficiary of her bank accounts apparently i found out there is allot of money and he isnt speaking of any of it should i get attorney i am named in the will as a beneficiary too
Sorry for your loss, Amber. If you are sure that there is a will, and if you are sure that your cousin is the executor, you should ask the executor. These things do take time to work themselves out, so depending on "recently", it may still have a lot of time before it is all said and... Read more »
If you own your home and your car with no loans or liens against them, you are likely to lose them in a Chapter 7, unless they are of very low value and lower than the Illinois exemptions. Your bankruptcy trustee would be entitled to sell your "non-exempt" property and distribute the... Read more »
I had a procedure done at the dentist. I asked several times what the full amount of costs would be ($900 all in!). They wanted my health insurance ID. I asked why, they said it's for the pathologist but it will be covered by insurance: no problems there. I confirmed this twice since I have an... Read more »
An Illinois attorney would need to advise, since insurance practices are governed by state law. But your post remains open for three weeks. One option, before seeking meaningful input from a local attorney in the Chicago area could be to explore what the carrier could do. With surprise invoices,... Read more »
I had my house inspected in October and everything was fine. The old owners did not want to move out until January and there was damage sustained to the roof in November. My insurance will not cover it because I didn’t have a policy on this house and said to have the previous owners file a claim,... Read more »
A number of states (including Illinois) have adopted the Uniform Vendor and Purchaser Risk Act (765 ILCS 65/1). This Act provides that in all real estate contracts there is an implied term that if the purchaser has NOT yet received title OR possession of the property, the seller bears the risk... Read more »
Can I travel outside the US during i-751 pending with I-797 C Notice of action (Divorced). I’m concerned because at the port of entry my separation would be an issue or interrogation.
In general, you will not be admitted back into the USA with an expired green card unless you have been granted an extension.
I didn't show up for the calendar date and it's a 6 year old warrant
Every case is different. It is essential that you retain an attorney.
I'm from Illinois. I was named in my fathers will. There is also a trust attached to the will. I am estranged from my family so simply asking the executor is out of the question. I was never notified of the will being filed in probate (I found out doing a probate search online). My question is... Read more »
Being named in a will does not necessarily mean that you will inherit from the will. I doubt that the attorney who drafted the will is going to answer your questions. If the decedent's estate plan included a trust, it is very unlikely that the probate attorney will be of much help unless... Read more »
I got a speeding ticket after 7 months being off court supervision would I still qualify for it again?
Yes. You can be placed on supervision two times in any 12-month period. So I’m the last 12 months, you have not been placed on court supervision.
