On January 18th we were notified that we were being let go from our position that day with no notice at all. Our Temp Agency was not aware of this till the day they ended our contract. Was that legal? If not how do we set up a class action against them?
I'd like to know more information because the answer likely depends on whether you had a contractual relationship with CVS or just the temp agency. The at-will doctrine applies in Pennsylvania and essentially allows an employer to terminate an employee for any reason or no reason. There are... Read more »

It’s not possible to answer your question definitively without knowing what the pet provisions say in your lease.

Assuming the will has been admitted to probate, its provisions about the disposition of assets is controlling. If the will has not yet been submitted to the probate court, you should do so without further delay.

Do I plead guilty or not guilty?
There is a $25 fine (plus costs) but it will not assess any points on your license if you have a PA license. However, if you have a license from another state (other than PA), and/or a CDL, you need to fight the citation. Section 3309 is considered a serious traffic offense for commercial drivers....

I got pulled over for going 86 on a 40 work zone. State trooper gave me a pass for that due to my clean record. He said he'd cite me for not turning hazard lights on when pulled over. In the citation there's a confidential information section, that says i was pulled over for going 86 on a... Read more »
The only thing that will be made part of the public record is that you received a citation for violated section 4305 (the hazard lights). The trooper likely wrote 86 in a 40 in other section in the event you were to challenge the citation in court - it would remind him as to why he initially pulled... Read more »
The buyer is an investor and is paying cash.
You would have to meet with a lawyer so that the lawyer can review your agreement and discuss the facts of the transaction with you.
This question is far to general for a forum like this. You should meet with your attorney and your CPA to discuss why you are creating a new company, and also whether it should be a subsidiary of your current LLC. Also depends on the tax status of your current LLC
Doesn’t this have to go through penndot to be actively suspended and are the police allowed to just take my license.
Go to a license office and see if they can look up your license. It may well have been suspended. If so they may take your license. There is no automatic suspension. What may have happened is you had an offense, the notice was sent to the address on the license, if that isn't your address you... Read more »
I can’t tell my family because I’m so scared. I don’t want to get on legal trouble or have the family sue me even though it was an accident. Can the cop show up at my house?
If the dog was on the roadway you will be OK. It's the owner's responsibility to care for their dog. If your car was damaged you can make a claim against the owner of the dog.
This was a speeding ticket going 80 in a 55, which was reduced to a 61 in a 55 by the officer when I was stopped
When I was handed the ticket though, in the first name and middle name, only my initials were listed. Is it grounds for dismissal?
No. He handed it to you. You took it. Also, as he gave you a break, the District Justice will be frosty if you try a technical. He gave you a points break. A judge will think you are being greedy.
My son’s father got a DUI. Lost his license and was driving anyway. He got pulled over and got in trouble again. He wants to continue to drive with no license and pick our child up to bring him to his house. He is currently on probation.
If he drives with a child in the car while intoxicated he could get child endangerment. If he has no license that would be likely to be child endangerment.
Ask. Letter. Then one certified return receipt. Then sue them in the District Justice Court.
I work in Monessen, PA
If it's the employer's computer they have a right of access. If you use it for personal things that is your risk. They can take the computer tomorrow, it's theirs. They can access the information any way they wish. It's theirs.
My fiancé was arrested for his friend leaving a marijuana roach in his car. He has his medical marijuana license and wasn't aware his friend did that.

The wait is for the blood work. He should request his license. There is no automatic suspension in Pennsylvania. They would have to show that the THC in his blood was sufficient for him to be intoxicated. If they press the charges he should have an attorney. By the way he shouldn't drive with... Read more »
I don't see why. Your job was to install the washer. Unless the leak is from a joint you worked on I don't see liability.
My employer didn’t ask my vaccination status but specifically if I was an anti-Vaxxer because I am not yet vaccinated for personal reasons.
They can inquire about your beliefs as to vaccination. They can inquire about vaccination status, assuming vaccination is part of the job requirements.
Hard to tell. If you have a defense and a good reason for a continuance, yes. If you don't have a good reason and want to put it off no.
He made the same mistake I did. He saw a 2 and thought 3. I saw a 1 and thought 2. Is this enough to dismiss the ticket? What's the best defense strategy to at least get the fine reduced?
No. If the sticker wasn't expired is a defense. The fact the cop missed a couple of numbers won't get you anywhere. Get the car inspected and maybe they'll drop it. In the meantime, don't drive it around without inspection.
My daughter is paying off a car loan that is in someone else’s name. The other person said they will sign over the title once the loan is paid and they receive the title.

She needs to have the other person sign the car over to her, and she pays for her own car. The best way is for her to buy the car loan, as it were, by getting a loan in her name. Yes, a document that is under seal is binding, but the wording would have to be clear and even then if the person... Read more »
