The issue is they yell very offensive things to all of our guests when they come and go, and yell at our children when they are playing outside. There is no physical abuse.
Your question is too vague regarding the word "harassing". I suggest you post a new inquiry with a very short summary of the wrongdoing you are complaining of (up to about 4 or 5 sentences). In any event, if the "harassing" that you complain of falls under a category of wrongdoing that a Court... Read more »
I came home this morning from staying the night at my friend's house to her going through my stuff and throwing it out
Your options include (A) calling the police, as destruction of your personal property without your consent is a crime (unless you abandoned your items), (B) demanding that she compensate you for the value of the destroyed items (or replace them), and if she refuses, filing a lawsuit against her...

First, whether the contract was breached depends a lot on what you mean by "shabby". Breaching a contract means either not performing all or part of the job or not meeting specifications. Assuming you do have a breach, before anything, you should address the issue with the contractor to see if... Read more »
I ask my family members in Kissimmee, Florida to see if they can watch over my dog while i completed my tour in Korea. I gave them my dog September 2018 and is being over 1 yr. Apparently my dog was playing with their little yorkie and my dog she is american bulldog. So while fighting over a toy... Read more »
Regarding the issue of pressing a criminal charge (such as destruction of personal property), that is a question for the local law enforcement authorities. Regarding the issue of seeking money damages from the shelter and/or from family member(s), you do have potential claims there, though... Read more »
I've been with this agent for 15 years and called 3 different times through during the years for a price check on different companies. I was told by my agent that the company That I was with would be the cheapest. This was not the truth. I decided to go with another agent who pulled a quote... Read more »
If you didn't actually lose money by paying a higher premium, you are not damaged in any way (other than aggravation) and therefore have no ground to sue. If you did lose money, theoretically, you could sue for professional malpractice (negligence), but for only a $1K difference, it would be far... Read more »
I presume you mean gouging, not gauging, and your question is vague about what occurred. In any event, certain categories of complaints regarding insurance providers can be made to the Florida Dept. of Financial Services - see https://www.myfloridacfo.com/Division/Consumers/needourhelp.htm.
My husband's car was towed the reson given was it was abandoned but it wasn't on the side of the road for not even two hours
Yes, he can file, but the real question is, what are his chances of prevailing? That depends on various factors, including whether there was a tow-away zone sign, what type of road it was on the side of, whether the side of the road is legal right-of-way, and other facts. For example, If it was... Read more »
She is refusing to give me the title to the car and pick up her license plate. She wont make the exchange. And she cancelled the insurance on the vehicle which i was making payments on as well the same day I gave her the last payment for the car.
I know you're trying to modify a prior question you posted, but you instead need to re-state your entire question from scratch, so that all attorneys seeing it will understand your question.
The person in question is refusing to meet me so that we can make the exchange of her tags for my title
Your question is a real mystery. Why would you be conveying to someone your car title in exchange for her giving you her car tags (and that's tags plural?)?? It's not legal to use someone else's tag.
But if I'm missing something, and you are seeking relief that you are legally entitled... Read more »
After vacating my apartment complex, my previous landlord is threatening to send claims to collections. We did not put down a security deposit. We dispute the claim they are making. They refuse to send me the bill for damages, just stating " it cost xxxx to fix." They have only contacted me through... Read more »
By "collections", I think you mean using a collection agency or collection law firm to demand payment from you. Sure, that's merely using a third party to act on behalf of the landlord instead of the landlord itself/himself/herself making the demands. If that occurs, send back a written dispute... Read more »
Your question begs the question of why you are asking. It may be legal, or it may not, depending on the circumstances.
I think I might have a cause of action in a complex case. I do not know whom to name as defendants and I want to conduct some discovery before filing complaint. What is the best way to go about it?
Read the entire Florida Rules of Civil Procedure, which you can find on-line. There is a rule allowing for petitioning the Court to allow for presuit depositions. That rule is rarely used, and in my 34 years of litigation practice, I have never used it. First, it costs just as much to file that... Read more »
You did not indicate what type of incident is giving rise to your need to make a claim. If you mean for police misconduct, such as false arrest and/or excessive force, you need an attorney who handles civil rights cases and/or police misconduct cases. That's usually what people are looking for... Read more »
I currently have a subrogation out against me. When the accident happened I was using my company’s insurance And now they don’t want to pay for.
I assume you mean, "How can a defend myself in a subrogation lawsuit that's been filed against me?" The answer is that you first consult, in person, an attorney who handles accident defense. You probably will have to pay a reasonable consultation fee. The attorney will go over with you the... Read more »
Need info about this matter please
In general, no, but you cannot get a reliable professional opinion on this with your on-line inquiry. You need to consult an attorney in person or by phone, so that an attorney can interview you in detail and review all estate planning documents (if any).
You inquiry is too vague to get a meaningful response; you need to be more specific about the following: Do you mean the defendant's lawyer filed a motion to dismiss the case? And is the case in small claims court, or a higher court? Is the motion to dismiss set for hearing? Are there any... Read more »
2 days after taking vehicle home, found out it needed a transmission. My salesman literally blocked me and my family from contacting him. So i filed a complaint with the Department of Motor Vehicles. 30 days later, expired tag, car doesn't move
You didn't ask a question, but I suppose you are asking, "Can I take legal action against the dealer?" In your situation, you can't get a quick answer on-line. You must sit down with an attorney who will review all your documents related to the transaction and discuss the details of the... Read more »
I live in a mobile home park and I was under the impression that I was purchasing it. Basically like a mortgage payment and then a lot rent. In any case the park sold to another owner and my title is in that business name, and my lease is the original owners business name. The new owners stated... Read more »
It's legally impossible to be "under the impression that I was purchasing it" if you didn't have a legal document drawn up for that purpose. I'm guessing that the new owner of the mobile home park intends to kick you and the other residents out at some point in order to turn the property over to... Read more »
Hi, I was served a paternity summons. The "father" has had 16% time with my son, and now wants 50/50 or possibly more. Also wants me to pay for his attorney fees
On the actual paperwork I was served, the father's name was incorrect. It was a name I have never heard of. My guess is it's a... Read more »
You must timely file a response to the petition, regardless of the incorrect name. If there's no way the named person can be the child's father, you would indicate that in your response. It is best for you to have an attorney representing you on this, especially since the other side has an... Read more »

You didn't indicate if there is a PA outstanding arrest warrant, which makes a difference as to how to tackle the problem. Were you a no-show for a required appearance in PA? If so, there likely is a warrant. Whether there's a warrant or not, it should not cause you to give up your legal rights... Read more »
