If you have not already I would send a letter to your landlord making a specific request for your deposit back, and if they refuse an accounting of the defects they allege account for not returning said deposit. Give a time limit to respond. You may want to send it certified mail so that you can... Read more »
This amendment which established the "income tax" was signed into law despite
serious defects. In reality, only two States [mind you, these were all Territorial
"States of States" at this time] ratified the amendment and ratification requires 36 (3/4 of)... 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.
Owner's Agent notified me of owners need to inspect the premises. I requested that she wear gloves and mask. Owner said she would comply. I have extenuating health issues. Landlord has known about these issues. I was recently hospitalized for 4 days, because of a compromised immune system.... Read more »

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.
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 »

You should speak with an attorney experienced in the American's with Disabilities Act. I do not believe the answer to your question is going to be an obvious one, but it may fall within the ADA. Alabama is a right to work State, which means an employer can fire someone for any reason so long... 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?
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...

What was categorized as a traffic stop was really an investigation. Allegations of a traffic violation could not be substantiated. Further allegations during the traffic stop stated that drugs were found in plain view but those allegations are unsubstantiated as well. Even during a sentencing... Read more »
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.
Attorneys are licensed to practice by state or court system, not by area of law. While an attorney may have their primary focus on one area of law that does not mean they can't handle cases in other areas of law.
Attorney's do have a duty to be competent in their representation of... Read more »

General statute of limitations for debt collection actions on a contract is six (6) years. If it is a credit card or open line of credit then it is potentially three (3) years. It seems likely that your loan would be a six year statute. Now because your loan has been transferred between different... Read more »

If I pay the card ofd then turn myself in will it help
It will be up to the discretion of a judge if they permit bond. However, your alleged crime is not one that poses substantial risk of physical harm to others, so it is likely they would let you bond out, unless you have prior charges other than identity theft.
With regard to turning... Read more »
Credit card and loan under his name only.
If you are not a co-signer or guarantor of the loan, then you would just need to inform them of his death. They may ask for a copy of his death certificate or obituary just to close out their file. If that does not satisfy them and end the communications, then you will need to send them a letter... Read more »
