That depends on who broke the contract and what the terms of the agreement were.

Student loan companies can seek wag garnishment without a court order. That said, it would depend on the exact type of loan. You should consult a lawyer as soon as possible.

It depends. You should consult with an employment/discrimination attorney as soon as possible. You don't want to open yourself up to a lawsuit.

I would suggest having an attorney send a cease and desist letter. I would also put additional locks or fencing up. Since you know that she is doing that you, without proactive steps on your part, you may have some liability if the dog ever bites her.

Anyone can be sued for any reason...winning a lawsuit is a different story. The contract would have to be read, but a big step to avoid litigation is to simply pay the remaining balance.
I also obtained the discovery and most of my statement was also made false by the police. I wasn't charged with anything, but don't want anyone to get in trouble for something they didn't do. This is a drug case.

how much would a lawyer cost me to handle the transition and paper work?
answered on Sep 25, 2015
Yes, it can be done without a real-estate agent. It could be done without a lawyer, but that would be a bad idea. As far as price, that would vary by attorney.
