I assume you mean that you not only wish to change the vehicle lock, but you also wish to take exclusive possession of the vehicle. Whether you can lawfully do that depends on the facts surrounding the vehicle not currently being in your possession, and you did not provide any of those facts here.... View More

Are you talking about a cancellation fee that the parties agreed to in a legally valid and legally executed contract or lease, with no factors rendering the making of the agreement itself a problem (such as a party being the victim of fraudulent inducement, or being subject to duress, or being...

Are you asking just an academic question, or you have a real-life situation that you need assistance with? If it's the latter, you'd need to provide some factual context to obtain any meaningful information. As a purely academic matter, it is the First Amendment that provides freedom of... View More

Any time a defendant does not submit something that's required, the first step is to reach out to the defendant to determine if he/she will comply, and if so, by when. If no cooperation, the next step is to file an appropriate motion with the Court to request issuance of an Order addressing... View More

As a dog parent myself, I am so sorry to hear about that. Sedation is a necessary part of euthanization, but if you're wondering if you can successfully sue the vet for money damages for your emotional distress caused by the vet rendering your dog unconscious while you were out of the room...

Medicare and Medicaid services, in themselves, do not create a cap on the gross total recovery one can obtain, but Medicare and Medicaid have automatic liens on a personal injury or wrongful death claim so that they can recover what they paid out for treatment as a result of the wrongdoer's...

You'd have a valid claim if "offering to pay for this ticket" means that from the git-go, it was an agreement for you to obtain the ticket on the condition he/she pay you back for it. If "offering to pay for this ticket" means making a gift of the ticket, you would not... View More

There's a bad news opinion about that issue from the US Supreme Court, but to be certain, your fiance must consult a criminal defense attorney who handles sex offender cases. In the 2003 Supreme Court case Smith v. Doe, a retroactive state statute on registration requirements was challenged... View More

A court action against non-tenants being possessing property without consent is called an unlawful detainer action, or in some scenarios, an ejectment action (or both). So search for lawyers in your area who handle those types of claims. Some landlord-tenant lawyers will also handle those types... View More

I recommend that you pick up the phone to seek a free consultation with a lawyer. The potential case being against a local government, some personal injury lawyers will handle that, some won't, as such a claim is often more of a hassle than one against an insured private entity, and it...

The Court is unlikely to have a template form for that - but to be certain, ask the Clerk's Office and/or search for all online forms provided by the Clerk of Courts for the 19th Judicial Circuit of Florida. I'd be surprised if they have a motion for new trial form. Your best bet is to... View More

In that scenario, the company running the shelter would not be liable for the vehicle damage unless it was somehow foreseeable to the company staff that allowing the resident to drive in the parking lot would create a risk of damage - for example, if the resident had a bad traffic record that...

It depends on (A) what you mean by "opposition" to an amended complaint (motion to dismiss?, answer and affirmative defenses?), and (B) which court you're in (State or Federal, and if in State, which level (small claim or a level above small claim?). I therefore suggest you post a... View More

You appear to be sending this question in on behalf of the father, as friend or relative to the father. If that's the case, tell the father to pick up the phone and call a lawyer. He should've been notified of the suit at the time it was being pursued, which apparently was a long time... View More

If someone grabbed your throat, and it was not for self-defense purposes, you are a crime victim, so you may contact the police in the jurisdiction for the store. They should then investigate to determine if the aggressor should be charged with battery. I am assuming from your description that... View More

Regardless of insurance coverage or lack thereof, the landlord is responsible for storm damage to the premises itself (but not the contents) - unless your lease states otherwise. For damage to contents, the insurance policy should state clearly in black and white what's covered and... View More

You are obviously a very good friend to that person - but your friend must be the one who seeks legal advice. You may assist your friend by looking for a lawyer for him to consult with, and your friend can include you in the communications with a lawyer if he wishes, but it would not be lawful for...

You first posed a question about the affect of not affording therapy on an emotional distress claim, and you then stated a concern about recording a conversation, which I take to mean a question asking if you can record in the setting you described without asking permission. You did not connect... View More

Sorry to hear about your accident I'm not familiar with straight piping, but for guidance, see Fla. Statutes Section 316.293, which you can find online. Subsection (5) thereof states:

I'm wondering if you actually had an adjudication of guilt or instead a withhold of adjudication. Both phrases have the word "adjudication" in them, but are completely different. An adjudication of guilt equals a conviction. A withhold of adjudication (often referred to simply as... View More
