Generally, in any area where someone has an expectation of privacy you would need to give notice that a recording is being taken.
My wife was recently filling out an online application, and was asked the following question. "Are you over the age of 16, and under the age of 40?" She was not given the option to not answer it. It just seems a little suspicious to me, the way it is worded. This was an app for a... View More

Simply having that question as part of the application would not constitute age discrimination. However, if your wife feels that she did not receive a job offer, for which she is otherwise qualified, due to answering "no" to that question she should call an employment/discrimination... View More

It may be. There are many more facts needed before a solid answer can be given. If you are not exempt you are entitled to all past due money. If settlement is not achieved and a lawsuit must be filed you may be entitled to double damages, attorney's fees. and court costs. Call an... View More

Inform your human resources department immediately. If it continue you may have an employment/discrimination claim. You may also have a battery case against that employee.

What cold happen? A judgment against you.
If you were served with a complaint/summons you have a small window in which you must reply. Inform the insurance company you had at the time of the accident immediately. They are required to defend you/
I received a DUI in Ohio in 2000. I pleaded no contest (the officer never showed up for court).
I have lived in Florida for 3 years, and recently was found guilty of a Misdemeanor DUI. I'd like to apply for a hardship license in Florida? Can they see this DUI from 15 years ago?
My house is not for sale, but I found it listed on a real estate website as a foreclosure up for auction. I have verified with my bank, HOA, and the tax collector that I am current and that there are no errors.

It doesn't sound like there was any actual damage resulting from this, so you likely do not have a case. Someone who specializes in real estate law may see things differently, so you should schedule a free consultation.
Also what is a key fee exactly
answered on Aug 31, 2015
That depends on the landlord; it could be true. What does the proposed lease agreement say? A key fee would be a fee for making copies of the house key.
I won a foreclosure auction for my grandparents and they have already paid in full. Unfortunately, a few days after the sale they realized they couldn't afford the purchase because they didn't do a thorough accounting of their finances. I called the Clerk and asked if there was any way to... View More

You should see a foreclosure attorney immediately. Make sure that the attorney(s) actually do see cases through to trial verdict. Some attorneys in that field only file motions as delay tactics but dont put up any real fight... essentially, if someone offers you something too good to be true, like... View More

Only if your dog caused some form of damage. I recommend adding onto your fence.
A full background check said that they only did a preliminary check after i've been working there for three weeks got letter n mail saying i could no longer work for family dollar
answered on Aug 24, 2015
Florida is an employment at will state, meaning that you can be fired, barring an employment contract stating otherwise, for any nondiscriminatory reason. If you feel that the reason given was perpetual and that the real reason you were fired was for some form of discrimination, then you should... View More
When this happens we do not get paid and are expected to make it up later. If we are employees and have a set schedule, don't they have to pay us at least minimum wage for when we are out of work? It's not my fault they didn't have work for me.
answered on Aug 13, 2015
It depends, are you expected to be at the office while waiting for more work? Contact an employment/discrimination attorney for a free consultation where you can provide more facts.
We do talk. But not sexual. We're like friends who spend time together.

It isn't illegal, but it is very dangerous. I would recommend staying away until she turns 18.

There was no lease agreement. And myom was all that was supposed to be living there
answered on Aug 10, 2015
It depends on the situation, which I am unsure. A lawyer is never a bad option.
They only pay for travel time from VA to where ever the job is in another different state. Other employees live in VA and we travel together for the jobs. The company pays travel time from VA to job. Shouldn't it be for me from FL to the job and not VA to the job? Company is in FL!
answered on Aug 10, 2015
Maybe, it depends on the specific facts. You should consult with a lawyer.
My friend is lives in FL and paid a reservation fee for an apt that was due to be ready on 8/14. He was informed today 8/4 that the current tenants decided to stay and that the community would not have anything until 9/10. Is this legal? Can he request the fee returned?
answered on Aug 4, 2015
Im positive that there is a provision in the lease regarding holdover tenants. If it was an application fee, he probably will not see it returned. If it was a deposit for that unit then your friend should contact the company about the return of his money.
