Can action be taken against installer?
answered on Jan 10, 2024
Request the repair cost from the original installer. If you never contacted him to fix it after discovery, that will be his first defense, but not necessarily successful. If he refuses, take him to small claims court. You will need the repairing electrician as a live witness.

Your situation boils down to whether your spouse has substantially complied with all material provisions of the agreement. If not, your attorney should be able to prevent the agreement as being the basis of a conversion divorce.
I got into an accident. I called the police and they tell me my drivers license is suspended due to an uninsured vehicle. I was not aware of this as I have an active insurance policy. I called the insurance company and they told me it was because of a two month gap I had in the middle of the year.... View More

If your facts are demonstrable to the prosecutor, I doubt that jail would be ordered even if convicted, but your lawyer has good arguments for an alternate disposition. However, you may face civil penalties from DMV such as suspension up to three years. Consult counsel.
My order is written that the custodial parent is to send any uninsured medical receipts to me within 2 months of service. If i receive receipts later than 2 months of the service date, I may reimburse when I am able. My question, are there any case laws showing that if receipts are sent late one is... View More

The order as you recite it speaks for itself, the debt is still owed. If this has demonstrated to be a hardship you think the court would buy, then you and your attorney should seek modification of the order that late notice relieves you of the debt.

I have no idea what you mean by a "prohibited person." Basically, if a patient did not make the application to be admitted for observation or otherwise, it is an involuntary commitment or emergency commitment, and can be held up to a differing maximum in each kind of commitment. For... View More

One may complain to either or both the Federal Defender's Office of NYS and the presiding judge in the case, but had better have all the details correct and back up the allegations.

In and of itself, it should not, the question really being is alcoholism a bar to obtaining a pistol permit, and that would depend upon one's mental hygiene history. Contact your local sheriff's office or simply apply and see if you are denied.
I fired my attorney in a malpractice case 3 months later We were at a settlement conference and he signed legal documents Is settlement valid I was forced to sign by my attorney and judge even though I did not want to

Your facts do not ring true or correctly and are contrary to established requirements of an on record settlement. I suggest you take your matter up with your attorney to obtain a clear understanding of what happened.

I suggest you contact the human resources department and file a complaint. I don't know if your matter is really defamation as opposed to a breach of employee confidentiality. Otherwise, contact a labor law attorney.

Under federal law, 19 CFR § 12.96 applies which generally allows utilitarian knives to be imported but not switchblades. You should consult your state's and local statutes that further prohibit importation of the sword in that jurisdiction.

Generally, a "control date" is a label used to indicate that something is to happen which will affect or dispose of the case, and to avoid losing tract of the matter, the court sets a date for an update or to ensure the disposition was reached.

If possible, could I do anything about it? This person is my EX friend’s boyfriend, and he says he wants to kill me, he is going to stomp me into the ground, he says he put my address online, and he said he has people looking for me. And I’m going to get what’s coming to me soon.

Such a threat to kill may be Aggravated Harassment under NYS law as electronic means are being used. Contact the police and have screen shots ready for them.
I was forced to touch a man's penis. He used his hand to forcibly hold mine to his genitals despite my struggling to remove it. He would say good girl when I had to take a break from struggling.

Yes, these are crimes under Article 130 of the NYS Penal Law. If you haven't done so already, you should contact the police, as your case gets weaker with delay.

I surmise that the infant may be a possible beneficiary by designation or inheritance to part of the pension benefits to be paid out, and the former spouse seeks the same benefit. An attorney should be consulted to review the OTSC and the related documents. Don't delay, or you may default.

You don't specify your age, but you may have the ability to file a civil suit against your father (and possibly your mother as a conspirator), but it will be a factual determination at trial why you lied. Consult a personal injury attorney to review details an applicable statues.
I have an Order for Protection and this person showed up at my door again. The police came and didn't want to arrest her. They told me they didn't have to and could weigh the circumstances
answered on Sep 2, 2023
CPL 140.10(4) mandates the arrest of someone violating an order of protection, and the officer is prohibited from trying to reconcile or mediate the parties, where there is reasonable cause to believe the order was violated.
Is this assault? He would not move and continued to prevent me from closing my door
