Employee submitted fake driving records and was let go when real ones where obtained by HR. Company reputation was damaged.

answered on Oct 4, 2022
Good morning. Based on the information you provided, I am assuming a former employee submitted bogus driving records and when that was discovered, was fired and subsequently has been defaming the company. If that is the case, it sounds like there might be a potential defamation case but suing... View More
sudden I get a letter saying they will be discontinuing business with me as of November 1, 2022. Do I have any recourse?

answered on Sep 30, 2022
First, I'd ask why. Second, if you have a written agreement, review it and any applicable termination provisions.
I notified my landlord of the sale of my business but he’s not sure if he wants to issue a new long term lease but I have a five year lease currently I said we can assign my lease to the new buyer but the la said he’s not sure if he wants another long term lease

Your written lease should include a section concerning Assignments. Usually, consent to proposed assignments is stated that such consent shall not be unreasoanably withheld. Of course that is quite subjective. Please contact me at wamann@amburlaw.com if you want to explore further. Thank you.

Thanks for your question. In order to answer fully, I'd need to know, at a minimum, terms of the business purchase and what you want to patent. I'd also need to review the business purchase documents. If you're interested in hiring my firm for this, please just let me know. Thank you.
Is this a violation of privacy laws? Disclosing financial information to a third party?

answered on Jun 9, 2022
No, that's not legal, it's slander.
The main guy constantly gave me delays and excuses and it just seemed to be going in circles. I didn't have any faith that they were nearing completion and I thought it was most likely a scam. I called to cancel my order and ask for my deposit back. The guy said that he has 30 days to return... View More

Unless that term is in a written contract or you orally agreed to it, his claim is doubtful. Ask him to cite the statute to which he refers.
Was sold a car, Private sale, and was lied to about the condition the car was in. I know I most likely will have nothing there to get money back on, but in the bill of sales there were items that were listed that were not given or received. The price of all items adds up to about 9k, and because of... View More

It sounds like you probably do have a case. Would need to know the terms of sale in bill of sale, if any and any oral representations. Might be worth sending the seller a demand letter.

It sounds as if the homeowner breached your contract by filing an insurance claim when she shouldn't have. I'd ask her to withdraw the claim. It sounds like she is also interfering with your General Contractor. Yet, since you stated things seem to be ok for the moment, that's... View More
Property is owned by a corporation, where the driver of the truck is the president. The truck was registered in NH without insurance and was registered to the corporation.

Good morning. From what you've described, you should be able to pursue a lien against the person's real property in NH.

answered on Mar 26, 2022
Yes. No matter what the name of the loan or lender is, if it is an unsecured loan and not a kind specified as non-dischargeable (under 11 USC 523), it can be discharged. If a lender "forgives" the loan it could raise tax issues (phantom income).
If I file bankruptcy, are there restrictions on how I can spend the $120,000 exemption?
Also, I have 2 liens on the property. How do those factor in to the homestead exemption?

answered on Nov 5, 2021
The NH Homestead statute shields your residence from creditors liquidating the home without paying you $120,000. This really just shields you and creditors don't move to liquidate. The liens would need to be examined to determine timing and type of lien. I'd be glad to discuss further,... View More
