Based on your assertions I personally do not feel that you would have a viable case for emotional destress. Opinions vary. You should contact an attorney as soon as possible.

A fee devision is when more than one attorney (often from different offices) work on your case and split the fee accordingly. It can be favorable as it should not cost you anything additional and you get two or more individuals helping you with different knowledge bases.

I have been working for the company for 7 years. My schedule has been set for the last year and a half. One of our employees fell ill, and was unable to make her shift. In the restaurant business it's fairly easy to cover considering we have multiple staff members that are off that day. I was... View More

Barring an employment contract to the contrary, your employer is free to change your schedule. However, this adverse action cannot be done due to a discriminatory reason. Obviously, on the face failing to cover a shift is not discriminatory in nature, but if you feel that the stated reason was... View More

There generally isn't a grace period with contracts. Without seeing your agreement no one can give a complete answer to your question.
When I was 15 I had sex with my boyfriend who is 6 years older than me , my mom press charges child abuse and L&L Bat now I'm 19 can I remove the charges that my mom put
answered on Feb 24, 2016
No. The charges aren't yours to drop. The state is the "victim" in all criminal cases. You can speak to the state attorney, but they likely won't change their mind.
answered on Feb 24, 2016
... That would be up to the state attorney, but it doesn't look good.
I'm a close friend of the senior who needs help. I help her with getting her to her appointments, etc. I recently took her to her bank, where she was told by the manager of the bank that she has a outstanding bill with them, and if it is not paid soon, they will garnish her disability check....

Garnishments don't happen overnight, but you certainly shouldn't wait to act on past due bills. There are many attorneys and legal clinics that would be happy to help. Contact the Florida Bar's lawyer referral service for help finding pro bono help; they can be reached at (800) 342-8011.
I am assuming this is because the claim was more than the limit, so they are coming after me for the difference, which is $25,000. I was called by their attorneys, and when I told them that I couldn't afford to pay that amount (even with only 10% down, the $150 a month) the rep kept saying... View More

.... was there a trial? If there was no trial you don't owe anything yet. If your insurance paid out I would be shocked if a signed release of all claims wasn't part of the payout arraignment. Call an attorney to discuss you situation in a bit more detail.

Possibly, yes. However, you would be required to return them to the same or substantially similar situation they were in. Not a better situation.
