specifically subchapter v in the prior year, is there a way of doing that?
Subchapter 5 just started this year. What exactly is it that you are trying to do?
They provided a well detail email about the options I have and I wanted to know if I should just settle for the $12 or can I go bigger they have broken my rights and invaded my privacy
Trying to file a lawsuit as an individual against a company like Google is not going to be cost effective. You don't even know if your legal fees will be covered or not. Most litigants in a class action settlement get next to nothing. I personally, would take the $12.00 and move on.
My husband just learned that there was a $75k judgment against him and his co-defendant in a personal injury case from 2007, but judgment was placed in 2010 without him ever receiving any notice for court, about the judgment, etc. He was aware of the case and got to the point where they were...

Me and my husband have been separated for 2 years he threw away all of my belongings and I just found out today that his girlfriend is two months pregnant and wanted to know if I can get alimony from him?
The answer is probably not. You have been living separate and apart for two years, so there would be a strong argument against it. The fact that your not yet ex-husband has a pregnant girlfriend is not a factor. What you need to do is have an in person consultation with an experienced matrimonial... Read more »

Hello: I am looking for a letter that I need my son to sign in exchange for $20,000.00. We bought him a house five years ago and he wanted another place and I financed it for him. He wants to stay at the other property but wants 20,000.00. I am willing to give it to him but I want him to sign a... Read more »
A letter is insufficient in this matter. Depending on what a review of the documents pertaining to both properties indicates a new deed and other documents will be required. A deed or any matter pertaining to a financial obligation in regard to real estate cannot be modified by a letter.
Can you file what? For child support? Yes, but do not expect to get anything.
Because the Statutes require all forms of corporate entities to be represented by attorneys in all legal matters.
Essentially I want to find homes, sign offers to purchase, and then sell the interest in those properties to house flippers who will make more money for a fee. Do I need a real estate license in NJ? Should I incorporate? Do I tell my current employer? Thanks for your input!
You really need to have an experienced business and real estate attorney set up the right corporate structure, draft the contracts and handle all legal aspects of your business. Good law firms will enable you to retain their services on an ongoing monthly retainer. Remember, a good lawyer is rarely... Read more »

With an international travel ban in effect, you are not going to be coming to the US until it is lifted.

Nothing can be determined without a review of the divorce decree and a copy of the policy.
Dealer said the vehicle had “ thousands of extras added” . They said they would try to find another car.
Since there was no signed formal contract and you did not pay for the vehicle, there was nothing to prevent the dealer from selling it to anyone else. This is a common practice among car dealers, which is completely legal. Realistically, whenever you go to purchase a car, or any other vehicle, do... Read more »
