Doesn't sound fair to me, but it is hard to fight the government. Also sounds like a "sweetheart" deal between the DSA and Bluebeam. I don't mean to be negative (yes I do), but just follow the money. Attorney below also has a good suggestion about calling the Association you are a member of.

You didn't mention it, but I assume that you were at fault in the accident. If so, your insurance would pay $50,000 in damages, and represent you if suit is filed. After that, the plaintiff would either pursue you for the balance or not. You might try making an offer of settlement to the... View More

After a mediation, you can sue the HOA for failure to enforce its' CCRs.

I can't give a definite answer due to the uncertain facts. I sounds like the defendant did not properly file his Request for Default, and if so that document has no effect. To be sure of the status of your case, I would call the Court Clerk of the Courthouse where this matter is pending, and... View More

I don't think legally you have to give the dog back, since it was a gift to both of you. I would just wait it out and see what happens. It is in your favor that the dog is registered to you.

Most consumer contracts these days contain an arbitration clause. Usually it is hidden in the fine print. You could try filing a . expensive and faster to get a hearing. The bad news is that if you sue in SC Court and lose, your case is done. Whereas, if you win, the defendant has a right to... View More

Since you have been sued, you must respond to the lawsuit. Be sure you understand what type of lawsuit it is (Small Claims Action, Superior Court action, Worker's Compensation action, etc.). You have 30 days to file a response. If you have worker's compensation insurance on your... View More

I think the fact that your written lease requires that you pay the utilities might give your landlord an edge. However, you might argue that the landlord never changed over the billing, so you never even got to see what the bills were. Maybe he will split the difference with you.

Usually not, unless there is a real good reason (like one of the parties just died).

You have not given enough facts for me to answer the question. Assuming we are talking about a deed that has been properly recorded on real property, then the answer would probably be this: The grantor is the person granting another party the right to own an interest in the grantee's... View More

Unless the Mediation ended in a settlement, you can walk away from the mediation, and seek another Mediator or Mediation.

It depends on who instructed you to report only 8 per cent of your tips.

What I didn't hear from you is whether or not you have a rental agreement with the party you want to fire. Depending on the circumstances, I would consider the employee/manager to be a "tenant at will," which means you can give them a 3-day notice to quit the premises. As to... View More

As long as you can prove that your neighbor actually crossed onto your property, you can probably sue your neighbor in civil court, and should request your HOA to file a claim against your neighbor for trespass and damage to your property.

The problem is that each entity has both advantages and disadvantages, and you have to decide which one is best for you. That can take some time, and may depend on the goal of the business. Since you want an entity to run a business involving online beauty products, you might want an LLC over a... View More

Trying to tell another person how to treat their dog is usually a losing proposition. Most people who mistreat an animal are jerks who know they are doing it, and just don't care. Sometime an electric collar can be helpful to train a dog, but constant use of it sounds more like cruelty than... View More

In most cases the statute of limitations on a claim against your own insurance company for bad faith is one year (one year from the date of the bad faith). Sometime, it can be two years depending on the facts. I am not sure if he Small Claims Court handles insurance bad faith cases, but you may... View More

You can go online and look at their website. You can also look up reviews of this company and read them. Finally, you can access "Yelp" and review the company if you can fine it.
