In checking on this, I've discovered that the contractor has a valid contractors license, but the manager/salesperson (daughter of owner) does not. Does that matter? Is there an additional vulnerability on their part due to this? She managed the entire job, from proposal to execution to... Read more »

First, this has nothing to do with the implied warranty of habitability. That is a warranty between a landlord and a tenant. 15 months is an unreasonably short period of time for exterior paint to last. You need to take many photos of this peeling paint. As I recall we had unusual rains during the... Read more »

You didn't say if this was a private or a public school, and it makes a difference. Assuming it was a public school, you are a Classified employee and most likely all classified employees in the district have a CBA or MOU that governs their employment. You need to get the union to file a... Read more »

I like Mr. Kane's answer, and would add, that such an action by you- going behind your attorneys' backs so to speak- could very well be a violation of your attorney retainer agreement. If reported to the Court, the court could very well disqualify you from being the Class Representative... Read more »
The super hero word is trademarked by Marvel company but I don't kbow if i can use it in my book title as : Superheroes drawing book for kids ages 4-8
answered on May 31, 2023
Copyright and trademark law is complicated. You need to consult an attorney that specializes in this kind of law, also called intellectual property. For example, I think that the use you propose "Superheroes drawing book...." could be a violation of the Marvel copyright, because you are... Read more »
My ex sold my truck while I was incarcerated and forged my name on the title to do so. She is judgement proof so taking this to small claims would be pointless. What legal action can I take to collect the debt owed to me?
answered on May 28, 2023
Judgments can be good for 20 years and you earn a good rate of interest on them. You should go to small claims to get a judgment against her for "conversion" of your personal property to her private use (selling for money). This is a wrongful interference with your ownership rights.... Read more »

The proper thing for your spouse to have done is to turn the wallet into the grocery store manager, or to the police. The wallet was lost property and the owner retained rights to his property. By moving it away from the place it was lost, your spouse effectively deprived the owner from the chance... Read more »

Very sorry to hear that you are experiencing this. I would suggest that you video him in the act then call the police. This kind of sexual harassment is treated by the police very harshly when kids are involved. but they will need some proof, hence the video. As you video you should speak the... Read more »

Welcome to the US. Now you must learn 2 Latin words: Caveat Emptor. It means "Let the Buyer beware." In order to provide you with a reliable opinion, it is necessary to review all the paperwork on the contract to see what "fees" were included in the $4000 you paid. It seems a... Read more »

You spent $8,000 with a contractor on a verbal agreement? It's worth the paper it is written upon. You should contact your state contractor licensing board, because they may have requirements that contracts over a certain amount are required to be in writing, if the contractor failed to do...

The obvious answer, if you are working someplace that is threatening your life to continuing to work there, go someplace else. Your life is more important that any job. Death threats are illegal, even in No. Carolina, you could report the death threats to the police as this is also a crime. Death... Read more »
I filed a claim with the unemployment benefit agency and I was denied then they sent me a message saying that the decision was recinded
answered on May 28, 2023
Cannot say without seeing the paperwork. It would appear to mean that the decision was taken back. However, they usually say the decision was "vacated" not "rescinded." Rescinded is a contract term meaning the contract was repudiated by one of the parties and they want to... Read more »
I have a restaurant and I will be serving alcohol soon. I understand that servers or anyone who will be handling the liquor (like bartenders) should be of legal age. How about non-servers like bussers, kitchen staff, and chefs? Do they need to be of legal age? Or can they be below 21 as long as... Read more »

Typical lawyer answer: IT DEPENDS. You said the "bussers, kitchen staff and chefs" Are they handling alcohol in the performance of their duties- handling alcohol to be served to customers, not used in food preparation? Many dishes call for alcohol to be added: Bananas Foster, Cherries... Read more »

Many layers of different Federal and State law here.

Yes. But your question is not very clear. Is this your situation? Do you want one or were you served with one? Go to the Superior Court website for the court you are in and look for the "forms" tab. Judicial Council forms, Subpoena duces Tecum and accompanying declaration. This is a... Read more »

You get the typical attorney answer: It depends. Was this a professional relationship? Was there a bailment? What were the terms under which this person was holding your money?

I am not trying to be glib, but VERY CAREFULLY. Anything you say could result in a slander/libel suit against you by your former spouse. She has already shown that she is litigious, and ready to grind an ax (according to your post) so what does she have to lose by suing you for any post you put.... Read more »
