I was in a group counseling program as part of my probation requirement last year, and my counselor asked if he could take out a loan as I had just received my settlement from a car accident, disability and back pay. He only knew this info because of the group counseling sessions. I loaned him a... View More

First of all, if this was a licensed counselor you went to it is illegal for him to ask you for a loan. Secondly, if he owes you money and you can prove that by contract you should definitely take him to court.
Since the amount is for less than $5,000 I would suggest either filing a claim... View More

If you're asking whether there are law firms who help individuals purchase the rights to media content in order to license, distribute, re-air, etc., the answer is a yes. My firm can do just that as well as many others.

Hi,
If you're asking whether this is legal, the short answer appears to be yes. Without seeing the bylaws it would be hard to give you a definite answer, but typically the bylaws and the Articles of Incorporation govern the affairs of Non-Profits unless prohibited by law.

I was in a bad car accident 2 years ago and got a ticket, though I wasn't at fault, for driving without a license. I did have my license with me, but I was seriously hurt and told not to move, and it was in the back seat. I told the trooper this, and later found the license in my vehicle at... View More

Hi,
First of all, I should say I'm sorry you had to go through all that you've been through and I am happy to hear that you are doing better now.
As far as the ticket is concerned, that's one that could be thrown out quite effortlessly unless it has already been... View More

His aunt now has power of attorney over his grandfather, and guardianship over his grandmother which she just recently obtained. She's now using this power to try and evict us because she is upset and... View More

Unfortunately, yes. If your boyfriend's aunt indeed has authority to sell the home (which isn't completely clear from your question) then the answer is yes.
Anytime you live in a house you don't own you can be evicted, especially if there isn't a rental agreement in... View More

It doesn't sound like they should be able to do that. I'd have to take a look at your contract to be sure. Feel free to contact my firm so we can discuss.

We turned the house (&keys) over to the landlord on 1/22/2017. On 2/22/2017, the landlord sent an intent to lay claim to our damage deposit (it was dated 2/16/2017). My calculations have the letter sent 31 days after they took back possession. FSS says they have within 30 days to notify us... View More

To answer your question, it depends. On a Month to Month contract, FL law requires you provide the LL with 15 days notice that you're moving out. Assuming you did NOT comply with that requirement, if the LL actually sent the letter, via certified mail, on 2/16 then his notice should be... View More
Driving. The sheriff spelled my last name incorrectly as in completely wrong when I pointed out to him he said to call and the county clerk would call him to verify and then it would be removed. This occurred in St Johns county Florida. What is my recourse.

You would need to provide a little more information. Were you ticketed for rear-ending someone or for something else? Are you trying to determine if the ticket can be thrown out because of the misspelling of your last name? I'd suggest reaching out to an attorney.

First step: you'll need an EIN. When obtaining an EIN, the legal procedures you would have to follow aren't that much different from if you were setting up an ecommerce site for yourself except that you would identify yourself as an "authorized third party designee". The process... View More

If all you need is to figure out a way to provide notice to the Defendant, I'd suggest searching on google for "Process Servers in [Enter City], CA". Any one of those companies should be able to do the job. However, the question of selecting the right state in which to initiate the... View More
