Georgia is known as a single party consent state. That means that as long as one person in the conversation is aware it is being recorded then it is a proper and legal recording. There are States like Florida which require all parties know and consent to the recording.

I would suggest contacting an attorney to go over the specifics of your case in detail. A landlord has a duty to provide you both legal and actual possession of a property. Having prior tenants living there would violate that duty.
I’m being harassed by a man I met online. We were in a long distance digital relationship that I ended, but now he won’t go away. He’s sending threats/messages/images to me/my family. How can I make him stop?

I would suggest calling the non-emergency number for you local police department. Describe the situation and detail the threatening messages. You might be able to get a protection from abuse order based on the facts of your situation.

If the Court Order assigning custody lays out conditions that must be met then you can enforce them. However, if the Court granted custody without assigning those conditions then it is likely nothing could be done. Alabama has only recently recognized grandparents rights and the law is still a bit... Read more »

Not sure what "serious defects" you are referring to. However, 36 States ratified the amendment by 1913. The first state to ratify was Alabama in 1909. The 36th state was Delaware. In total 42 States ratified. Four states rejected the amendment and two never considered it. (Alaska and... Read more »

That will be determined as part of your settlement. If you have not accepted a property settlement offer you can negotiate to keep the vehicle. They will likely reduce their offer by what they assess the salvage value of the vehicle to be.

Likely depends on the language of the lease agreement, property insurance agreements, and renters insurance agreements. I would suggest taking those documents to an attorney for review to get specific advise.

The front entrance to our subdivision was damaged by a pickup truck. The Board approved a contract for repairs in excess of the insurance settlement. They used money from regular dues to pay the difference. I would like to have a copy (or at least see) the contract.
answered on Aug 24, 2021
I think it is more than reasonable for you to request a copy or to see the contract as you pay dues tot he HOA. Now if you are entitled to see that contract likely depends on the way the HOA was set up and the language of the documents drafted to create the HOA.
I would start by making the... Read more »

They are only requiring corporate people to go home if unvaccinated. They do not require this for the entire company. If they fire someone would it be legal?
answered on Aug 16, 2021
In general Alabama is a right to work state and a person can be fired for almost any reason. It is also likely fine for them to institute this policy for Alabama only. The limitation would be if you are protected under the ADA to avoid receiving the vaccination due to some pre-existing health... Read more »

It sounds like your primary question is how to start a criminal proceeding against the individual that assaulted you. For that you will just need to call the police and file a report. The criminal proceeding should take off from there.

They have 30 days to file an appeal. If they fail to do so then they will have to pay you the amount awarded. If they do file an appeal then the entire case will be retired in a higher court as if there was never a judgement. In that instance, I believe it would be prudent for you to consult with a...

If exculpatory evidence exists the prosecutor is under an ethical duty to turn over that evidence.

Would need a lot more information. Crimes you have been charged with, what you are pleading guilty to, are any other charges being dismissed as part of the plea, do you have a prior criminal history, etc.
