Probably. Various states have different statutes of limitation for these "crimes." You can go to the internet and type in "California Statutes of Limitation" to find out what the rule is in California.

You are not legally responsible for her if she wants to leave, but you might be morally responsible for her to help her find a new roommate. Then again, she can find a new roommate by herself as long as she does it fast.

Real Estate agents (Realtors) usually split their share of the commission 50/50, and the Broker (all agents work for Brokers), might take 50% of the remaining commission (using this as a simple example). An agent taking a 20% commission is OK, so long as it is 20% of the total commissions to be... View More

The answer depends on a lot of things: Whether he was an employee, a part-time employee, or an independent contractor; whether he was at work or someplace else when the accident happened. If he tripped over a branch at home, that would not be a worker's compensation claim. If he tripped... View More

I assume based on California Law that the company is asking the court to reconsider or overturn the Arbitration Ruling. It is not common for courts to overturn arbitration rulings, barring outright (extrinsic) fraud or obvious ethical violation by the Arbitrator. I think the Court may accept or... View More

I don't know why your landlord would make such a big deal out of being a couple days later. However, many landlords (i.e. most landlords) develop a superiority complex and think they can push their tenants around. Most of the time, they end up doing stupid things. I had a lease on a Law...

I think the fact that you were left with the cat; that you gave notice to the owners; and that they never came to pick it up, gives you possession of the cat. It may be a close call, but the "owners" would have to go to Small Claims Court over this, and I doubt that they would. If the... View More

I don't know how much vacation time you were offered, so I cannot answer your question. If it was cumulative time, you should be able to claim all of it as vacation time. I would read your contract with your employer, if you have one. It may clear this up.

There is no way to tell how people react to a dog coming at them. Some people are scared; others brush it off. If the dog knocked your neighbor down, he/she might have a claim. It all depends on legitimate his/her emotional distress is. If your neighbor was not hurt, and incurred no medical... View More

If you read the code provision carefully, you will find that each one states one or more grounds for disciplinary action against a contractor (e.g. abandonment of a project without cause). You can go online and look up a website called "Find Law." You can access all the codes under the... View More

It depends on the State and Court where the proceeding is pending. There are many factors that go into when attorneys fees are awarded and for how much. Since I practice law in California, I suggest that you direct this question to a New York attorney. Good Luck.

I am not sure of some things. What kind of Arbitration are we talking about? Is their a lawsuit filed? In California, where I practice, the Court will often send a case to Arbitration, but the agreement may be that the Arbitration is not binding. However, most Arbitrations are binding, as that...

You have done the right thing in filing a temporary restraining order. Unfortunately, the offending person or persons on the TRO (known as the Respondent) will usually lie in Court. At the hearing on the temporary restraining order, the Judge (or a Commissioner) will have each party testify. You... View More

When you buy a trailer or any similar product, you should always do so by getting a written contract. You then need to read the contract and see what you are buying, and if it matches what you thought you were buying. If it does not, you should not sigh it. If there is no written contract, then...

If you have a lawyer representing you, you might owe him or her some fees for the time put in the case. If you are handling the claim yourself, you probably can drop the case at any time if you want to. A settlement and a Deposition are two different things. I assume you are talking about a...

I have already answered your question once. You now state there is a "family" in the house. As I stated earlier, the house is yours when your Uncle dies, as long as the deed shows that you are joint tenants with only your Uncle. The distribution of personal property when a person dies... View More

Most people love dogs, so I am not surprised that they would want to pet your dog. And, most people will probably ask your permission to pet your dog. If people pet your dog without asking your permission, ask them politely not to pet your dog. I believe mot people will respect your wishes.

Assuming the deed to the real property shows that you and your Uncle own the house as "joint tenants." When your Uncle dies, you will automatically own all of the house. However, your Uncle's personal property does not automatically transfer to you. That depends on whether or not... View More

If the cat was in your backyard when your dog attacked it, I would guess you are not responsible for that. Many cities have leash laws, but I believe you don't have to keep your dog on a leash when it is in your backyard. If that happened on the street, with your dog running around, that... View More

It may be that the owners of the property have their own plans for he house, and might have their own timeline to meet. It would be nice if they would give you the extra two months, but the probably have the right to get you out at any time if they properly served you with a 3-dan Notice. If you... View More
