I was in a bowling alley around 9 p'cl9ck and asked to leave in a shouting violent matter by the female bartender. I left immediately and an officer was outside on the premises. I told him I was never asked to not come in there, in fact the manager told me I was welcome for food. I was issued... View More

You may file a complaint against the police department. The department should have an internal review mechanism. I will warn you, however, that that is unlikely to produce a satisfying outcome. Similarly, you can file a complaint against the bowling alley with its management. As with the police... View More
im not sure what kind of lawyer i need to find
answered on Jul 18, 2018
You need a lawyer that will file a lawsuit in small claims or regular civil court.
Class I Felony, Delivery of THC (party to the crime). 18 months probation. I failed 3 drug tests, one of which was my first day meeting with the probation officer, and was never revoked or had a violation hearing. At the time of sentencing I was told that expungement would be available once... View More

The law is that you must successfully complete your probation. That differs from whether you were revoked. But given that you were not revoked, I have question about why your case ended up back in front of a judge. Expungement is supposed to happen automatically when the clerk of court receives...

Sections 111.321 and 111.322(1) of the Wisconsin Statutes prohibit employers from denying opportunities because of an arrest or conviction record. The facts you describe violate those prohibitions.
Put In and had offer accepted. Walked through house again and found growths in closet ceiling and leaks in garage roof. We did not give them the earnest money because we do not have the money to fix roof and interior of house. We brought the issue to the owners attention and they admitted they knew... View More

You could file a lawsuit for a declaration stating that the sale is null and void. But that seems unnecessary in this circumstance. You can probably just walk away from the deal. It happens everyday.
Are there ways to make this purchase while protecting the mother's assets? Alternative financing? Not using a real estate broker? Do siblings need to agree to the sale?
answered on Apr 6, 2018
Your mother can transfer the property to you at any time by signing a deed. She could also use a will or trust.
They want to meet with me but they won’t tell me who I’m meeting with. I have never been suspended from a job and I’m terrified to go there without representation.
answered on Apr 6, 2018
It does not sound like you need a lawyer at this point in time. Many employers would refuse to allow attorney representatives in an interview about an internal matter. If you are an at will employee, that could result in termination. The best advice I can provide is to request your employment file... View More
24 month lease, 17 months to go, they want their full security deposit back. I agreed because I want them out and I want to move back in.
answered on Apr 6, 2018
You have a coupe of options. One is to file an eviction action for unlawfully holding over. Another is to hold the tenants to the terms of the original lease agreement.

More information is needed to provide meaningful advice. You cannot be arrested for (or charged with) possession of prescription medication without having a valid prescription absent probable cause. So unless you had a large number of pills or confessed, it would ordinarily be difficult to get to... View More
Cannot locate ex, already had pretrial, tried to serve ex. judge suggested I get legal advice to see if he can legally sign so i can get my ex's name off the deed
answered on Mar 3, 2018
Your question is unclear. If you have an order awarding the house to you, you do not need the ex to sign. You can simply extinguish the ex’s interest and have another deed recorded on the property.
48 condos have decks, 24 do not. Current bylaws state condo owner is responsible for repair or replacement of their own decks. Now the condo owners with decks want to change the bylaw to say the association will pay the costs which will include all the non-deck owners. How can a bylaw be changed... View More

It does not sound legal. One would need to review the bylaws and other relevant documents to provide meaningful advice. And it sounds like the review should happen sooner rather than later.
The realtor represents both the buyer (us) and the seller. We feel this is totally unethical and probably illegal. We have refused to sign.
answered on Feb 24, 2018
The buyer may sue for specific performance. Alternatively, the buyer may sue for the earnest money and damages. As long as the realtor disclosed the conflict of interest, the relationship is probably not illegal. I suggest you speak with a lawyer.
My phone was seized without a warrant on November 13th 2017 the investigating officer came into the neighboring county (where I live and work) informed me I wasn't under arrest and I could go back to work whenever. After accusing me of something I didn't do I told him I was done talking... View More
answered on Feb 9, 2018
You should file a petition for the return of the phone under Section 968.20 of the Wisconsin Statutes. It is unclear whether there is a violation of the Fourth Amendment. You were told that you were not under arrest and voluntarily handed the phone over. You should have said no.
I have asked sibling to buy my share, however, she will not communicate with me. land is located in Wisconsin.
answered on Feb 5, 2018
You should consider going to court. At court, your sibling would be forced to buy your share or accept the allocation after the land is sold.

You do not have rights, as the law defines that term. However, the situation is ridiculous and you should expect the charged to be dismissed.
It worked perfectly when we moved. It was Nov and of course we were using heat. Also saying that the stove was missing the heating element, I made pies 8 days earlier. Saying freezer unusable.

The problem with lawsuits like this is that they are expensive. You may have insurance that will provide you with a defense. I suggest you contact the insurance company you had at the time.
In early 2016 unknown to me I was issued a citation (apparently mailed to me) for peeling paint on my windows. Early this month I called police for a car accident I was involved in municipality B. After running my driver's license, the police officer told me I had a warrant for my arrest due... View More

Municipalities issue arrest warrants when fines are not paid. That is legal in Wisconsin and many other States.
All contigencies were met and my loan is approved. Everything is done except the title transfer. Seller says because the contract allows him to take secondary offers he can sell to the secondary bidder.
answered on Dec 24, 2017
One would need to review the offer to purchase to answer your question. Sometimes offers permit sellers to select the higher offer, sometimes not.
The bank ordered an appraisal of the home we purchased a few months ago and it appraised higher than the asking price. We purchased in Janesville.
We have an emergency and we needed to borrow against our homes equity and we had our home appraised. The appraisal can in much lower than we... View More
answered on Dec 1, 2017
More information is needed to evaluate the facts in your inquiry. Appraisals are subjective. So it is unsurprising there are different opinions about the value of the home. This is not fraud (misrepresentation is a synonym). It may be negligence. More information is needed to see how negligent the... View More
They asked for 2 weeks extension, I complied, they then asked for 30 days extension, I reluctantly complied again. Now that date is nearing and was just informed the seller has a court date set for 2 weeks after this latest extension date to try to get permission to sell. Can I sue to get my... View More

Probably. One would need to review the offer to provide the most accurate advice. But it seems apparent that the seller misrepresented his or her authority.
