Me and my wife have a business issue with our partners.
We purchased 25% stack from a company and we work there too, we get 1099 for paychecks, W2 from the company, and dividend in wire transfer.
We get pregnant and now the other partners say we break the contract and they dont... View More

This does not make sense. Dividends are profit shares disturbed to investors. I can't imagine how pregnancy relates to an investor's entitlement to profit share. You need an attorney to tell them that it is a breach of an investment agreement if they fail to pay you, and there will be... View More
he has not paid Octobers payment in full. I haven’t heard from him. Has been late for since the beginning. And November is due in two days. I cannot contact him or get a hold of him at all. Can I foreclose?
answered on Nov 11, 2024
It depends on the nature of the contract. If the contract is indeed a seller financing agreement, you may. You should schedule a call with a lawyer to review the contract.

It is essential to know what you mean by a "90-day" travel visa. If you mean visa exemption, you can't file an I-485. Regarding other requirements to be met, you should at least have your package reviewed by an attorney because every case differs.

Having an ICE hold means she has violated immigration law. Certain reliefs may be available to her. You should talk to an immigration attorney.

Under Florida law, you can send the landlord a 20-day notice notifying him of the situation and stating your plan of action. If the landlord fails to take action, you can do what you said, including withholding the rent.

Technically speaking, if the landlord fails to let you exercise your option, he should be responsible for the loss this caused to you. Reviewing your lease is a good idea because sometimes the understanding is inaccurate.
Should I file I-485 or I-539 to adjust his status? Appreciate your guidance.
answered on Nov 4, 2024
You need to file I-130 and I-485 together only if your husband is really on a visa, as opposed to VWP.

Sounds like it is time to change your attorney. If he or she is not doing her or his job, it is time to get your service elsewhere.

Does a criminal attorney represent you? Because you are officially charged, they may have presented some evidence. You should have a professional look at the charge paper to protect yourself. By the way, "hearsay" is a term used in court. There are a lot of exceptions. You need to speak... View More

This could be a good argument because the "boss" may not count as a third person. Do you have an attorney? The defamation case is super complicated. You may have other defenses based on the fact, such as it is your opinion, you are telling the truth, or you have the privilege to talk... View More

Do you mean "motion to dismiss"? If so, you must appear at a hearing and respond that way.
I have kept the property up and have paid all taxes and fees for the property during this time. I acquired it at the time from my 3 siblings.
answered on Oct 24, 2024
What do you mean you acquired the property from your siblings? Was there a will or trust, or is the deed in all your names? You should consult with a Florida Estate Attorney and show him or her all your paperwork.
Should I have legal representation to deal with estate attorney as PR and as an heir to the estate?
9 days without power, plumbing, trash service, etc. Duke Energy cannot reestablish power until water recedes and could take weeks according to their notice.
answered on Oct 17, 2024
Most likely yes. Your obligation to pay is described by the lease, which is between you and your landlord. The inconvenience was not the landlord's fault. It is unlikely the lease provides the landlord should waive the rent.

answered on Oct 4, 2024
It means whether you agree for them to amend their petition. If you sign, the Agreed Order is his way of telling the court that you agree, and the court should allow them to amend the petitioner.
He claimed to have replaced the pump, that it has no mechanical issues, and the dealership told me the pump is failing and I need an engine replacement. I have physical proof of his claim, and the dealerships quote of 16k to repair the car.
answered on Oct 3, 2024
Have you changed the pump after they told you so? If so, you suffered the loss of at least the cost of a new pump. You can sue for them to pay you back.

You need to be more specific, including the loss the data breach caused you. Feel free to contact this office for better understanding if you wish.
