My father is disabled and I have to go to the grocery store for him. A check bounced, he was informed and tried to recover the check, they said they could not find it. Months later I was arrested for the check. It was my father's, and he tried to get the check. We share the same name, I am the... Read more »
You did not ask a question, but I guess you want to know what should be done about this, and perhaps you want to know if you may make a claim for money damages due to wrongful arrest. If the criminal case is still pending, you must focus on getting yourself cleared of the charge, which means you... Read more »
I have requested to either work at home or get a shift a change from my current job due to child care conflict and they claim there is nothing they can do for my shift change but they have done it for other employees.
The initial inquiry here is whether you believe you are being discriminated against (that is, being treated differently than others) based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, pregnancy, parental status, age, or disability. Is there a difference between you and the... Read more »
I live in Florida and the state law identifies what common areas are, but the HOA bylaws say the board has broad discretion with respect to what common areas are and the HOA has used this broad discretion to bill only certain homeowners for cost to maintain common area's deeded to the hoa....

The HOA must comply with local zoning ordinances - but, as Ms. Stage indicated, your inquiry is unclear as to the what zoning ordinances have to do with your issue. You may want to ask your local zoning office if there is an issue; otherwise, schedule a consultation with an attorney.
Son was in a rollover accident in someone elses car. He had an avulsion wound to the knee. He has a permament scar on his knee, he will always have to protect from sun and it will never have feeling on it.
Under the law, there is no "set" value for any bodily injury, but based on statistical data, the industry considers certain dollar ranges to be reasonable for particular injury and medical treatment scenarios.
I agree with Mr. Maaswinkel but would add that, regardless of the... Read more »
I lost my wallet with $600 in it after a car accident. I left the wallet in my truck and when I went to retrieve it the next day from the tow truck company the wallet was gone. Is my insurance company responsible?
Yes, if you purchased comprehensive coverage (includes theft). Otherwise, you can make a claim to the garage's insurance company. And Mr. Thorgaard is correct that you need some type of proof, such as a bank statement showing a withdrawal of the cash.
I offered my brother to pay off the loan to my ex-partner $74,000.00 for the part that he owned in the house (30%) so that one day he could receive the benefit of my investment of $ 150,000.00 in cash. My brother accepted the offer, a contract with a lifetime guarantee. At the closing of the... Read more »

My cousin is so jealous of me and my husband lying to authorities about us both. What legal actions can I take?
Your inquiry indicates that you writing from Indiana but directing it to Fla. attorneys. If this is an Indiana matter, you must direct your inquiry to Indiana attorneys. If it's a Fla. matter, more facts would be needed to evaluate this and determine what actions can or should be taken. Of... Read more »
I posted the truth of my firing and told my clients how to find me in a Google review under the business website. Is this actionable?
Depends on whether your actions could be viewed as stealing your former employer's clients, which could give rise to a suit for tortious interference with contractual business relationships or advantageous business relationships. The absence of a non-compete clause may be irrelevant in that... Read more »
The injured party sue them and their property if owned prior to marriage?
I agree with Mr. Thorgaard (in the event you are talking about you driving a car that is in your spouse's name or a car that is in your names jointly) - and owning prior to the marriage is irrelevant. The ownership that is relevant is who owns what at the time of the accident. If you are... Read more »

I am in a 2-year, 4 semester program at my state college. During admission and acceptance into the program, it was stated in the handbook that we needed a 75% "C" to pass each semester. During the beginning of my 3rd semester, the director of the program decided to change it to 78%... Read more »
The first issue is whether the change caused you, or will cause you, to flunk. If you pass, I think your question is purely academic and not fodder for a legal action (that is, forcing you to study a bit harder won't cut it). If you flunk, however, you would have "legal standing"... Read more »
If you were arrested, but the charge was expunged / dismissed / or adjudication withheld, and then in the future a police officer pulls you over and asks you if you’ve ever been arrested, are you required to answer “yes”?
Not sure from your inquiry if your prior criminal case was expunged, which is far different than a dismissal or a withhold of adjudication. If expunged (and the expungement process is totally complete), and that is the only charge in your life, then you can deny having any prior charge because... Read more »
The parts he claimed he didn't have
Is that froud
More facts are needed in order to answer your question. A fraud analysis is a very fact-dependent inquiry, as specific intent must be evident. Also, you did not ask what should be done if there does happen to be fraud, so it is unclear what your goal is here.
I agree with Mr. Mayoral regarding the type of attorney you need. Do you have a doctor's diagnosis regarding damage resulting from use of the product? That is required for you to have a potential claim.

If your retainer contract with your lawyer has the standard lien language and you fire him, he can then file a notice of lien in your case, and upon any recovery, his fees would likely be based on the amount of work he put in compared to the amount of work a subsequent lawyer would put it to...

I was involved in an accident where both parties were deemed at fault by the officer. We traded information through the officer, and I told the other party I would be filing with my insurance when I got home, and they would be hearing from them.

Simply turn the law firm's letter over to your insurance company and confirm they will respond to the law firm. If you are covered as you say, the insurance company will assign a claims adjuster to deal with the other driver's claim, and if necessary, retain an attorney to represent you... Read more »
I'm writing to get an idea for what my options are. I signed onto a car loan that I wasn't of clear mind to do so, and the dealership is refusing to allow me to cancel the loan.
Basically, what happened is that, while in the dealership before signing papers, I received some... Read more »
Sorry to hear about your ordeal. I assume you mean that you not only want to cancel the loan, you want to cancel the entire purchase transaction and return the car, as if the transaction never happened. Unfortunately, there is no way to do that unless there is some illegality - for example, if... Read more »
