The clause follows 9.2 as
"Without cause, upon 120 days' prior written notice by either party."
Does this mean that to resign I must give 120 days notice? Since it says "by either party".
answered on Apr 28, 2022
If the employee fails to give 120 days notice as required in the employment contract, then there is a possibility that an employer might sue for the extra cost of finding a replacement for the period for which notice was not given. In my experience, employers very rarely sue to recover that... Read more »

The standard fee for personal injury cases, including sex abuse cases, is 1/3 of the total recovery plus costs advanced. If the matter goes to litigation, the fee goes up to 40% plus costs advanced.
I commend your bravery in coming forward to get some justice. I wish you the best.
If they had serious allegations against you wouldn't they just arrest you instead of trying to call you for months to interview you
answered on Apr 21, 2022
Depends...the standard to charge someone with a crime is probable cause. Often, they do not have that until, ironically, a suspect voluntarily talks with police, and usually in an attempt to clear their name.
It's quite possible that the police do not (yet) have probable cause for the... Read more »

If charged with DUI can you not obtain a IID device and not drive in the meantime and still get your license back. Or is IID device required to obtain license back again? Hope my question makes sense. Thank you!
answered on Mar 17, 2022
Unfortunately there isn't one answer for all cases. The answer depends on the court orders, the DOL's action, and whether there are prior offenses.
Certainly someone who isn't driving never needs an IID. But sometimes the judge will order IID as a condition while the case is... Read more »

Not usually, no. Generally court fees and fines will follow you. Best to find a way to pay them or see if your court is willing to put you on a payment plan.
