You don't mention if you are trying to collect from someone, or if you are defending a collection against yourself, or if this is a business collection matter. If you are defending against a personal collection you could start out with consumer bankruptcy attorneys (many also defend... Read more »
He's daughter 16. So we couldn't get nor even his clothes?

answered on Feb 1, 2023
Since your brother did not leave a will, his daughter is his only heir. The clothes are of little monetary value, but it is up to the administrator of his estate to decide how to pay any remaining debts of the estate. You should have a quick consultation with a probate lawyer to determine what to... Read more »

answered on Jan 31, 2023
Yes, I believe that it should be patentable.
What I like about our invention as far as patenting it goes, is that it is a combination of three parts: a holding technique, a way to assemble parts of the kit, and a drumming technique.
However, be prepared to face two very large... Read more »

answered on Jan 31, 2023
I would have to check to make sure that your brother didn't add his wife to the deed before he passed, before giving my full legal opinion. But in the scenario you outlined, since the ownership was joint with the right of survivorship between you and your brother, once your brother passed,... Read more »

I did not have an account with this company. The previous resident did, it was canceled over a year ago. I have tried putting the container at the road to get it picked up twice before. They have tried to start billing for service that isn't used. They said in an email that they would be... Read more »

answered on Jan 30, 2023
I'm sorry, but more facts are needed. Did you contract with this company, you terminated servicees and they have not picked the container back up? There is no "law" or "rule" addressing this as requiring any specific number of days or weeks. You would need to look at the... Read more »

It's difficult to address this in an online forum. Many facts are missing. It smells like scam to me. "UCC Liens and Enforcement" is supposedly the name of the collector? Have they sent you anything in writing at all? If not, another red flag of scam, including the threatening phone... Read more »
I’ve read online from some employees of large corporations like Walmart and Target that these companies have a tendency to avoid prosecuting thieves until they have accumulated enough stolen property to constitute a felony. This begs the question of statute of limitations from misdemeanor to... Read more »

This is a criminal law question, not a consumer law question. As far as a civil lawsuit, the statute of limitation for money owed is 3 years not matter what the amount, and it starts fresh with each incident. Please repost this under Criminal Defense.

If the district attorney allows it, then yes. 95% of the time they will allow it. You may still need to go to court to tell the DA you want it dismissed

answered on Jan 24, 2023
You should talk with someone at the district attorney's office as soon as possible, and let them know your reasons for not wanting to continue with the charges. Various people could be spending time on the case, so the sooner the better
It sounds like maybe you were the victim in a... Read more »

The attorney who handled your acquisition should have considered this in your PSA. If it was a stock sale, as opposed to an asset purchase, the business is likely the lessee on the capital equipment lease for the equipment included in the sale of the business. Check your due diligence file for... Read more »

My husband filed for the divorce and originally I did not contest it. A court date was scheduled for January 31,2022 and the divorce was not granted because I was not properly served. I now feel like I should contest the divorce, but I don’t know if I still have the opportunity to.

answered on Jan 19, 2023
In North Carolina the requirement for divorce is that parties must have lived separate and apart except in rare circumstances. It requires that only one party needs to have had the intent to live separate and apart. To contest the divorce you would need to show you have not lived separate and... Read more »
