Basically, I have a short "album" of dingy 1:30 - 3:00 songs that I might want to share with the world via YouTube, but there's the nagging fear in the back of my mind that somebody may be able to use it without my permission. I've discovered that I can order other channels to... View More

No. You need to go find some money today and repay the bank before things get really ugly.

You are very late in raising these issues. There are statutes of limitation rules that require parties to timely object to an estate administration. You should talk to an estates lawyer in the county where your grandmother died to go over all the details to see if something can be now. Also, if... View More

I am unaware of any such law. However, you could likely find yourself with an animal abuse charge for keeping a dog out in cruel conditions.

Insurance can find out before any judgment is rendered on the ticket, so you're out of luck there. Best way to get the ticket dismissed is to challenge it if they, in fact, cannot prove you were speeding.

My boyfriend is the father of my two kids. We moved here 2.5 months ago. He had been sober but right after moving here started drinking again. We are not married and have no kind of custody agreement. His family is going to help me leave. Am I able to take the kids back to Minnesota legally?
answered on Nov 19, 2020
No attorney can provide you specific advice on this situation without knowing more. Generally, however, no custody order means no rights have yet been established for either party.
And is there a state law protecting the name of minors?
answered on Nov 19, 2020
There is no such right bestowed upon you. Your second question is too vague.

I have a million pieces of advice because I take 10+ calls like yours every day. Firstly, most people would prefer a private attorney over a public defender and I hope you don't learn that reality the hard way. Secondly, if this case is in North Dakota and you were denied a public defender by... View More

My dog was running on our land and picked up by someone. The person then decided to rehome and request people to come get him in less than 24hrs. Is that legal?
answered on Jun 17, 2020
Can they legally keep your dog? Unlikely. Your remedy is to call the police, who will likely tell you it is a "civil matter." Your remedy is to then bring a small claim against the person holding the dog for the return of the dog.
