Generally, the lease isn't voided, it's modified - IF the modification is in a signed writing, and to be safe, it would be good to have it witnessed.

Consult a lawyer in your area who handles construction or contract disputes. You can try the the Justia Find-a-Lawyer tab or contact the Florida Bar Lawyer Referral Service.

Retribution means punishing for revenge. I assume that's not what you mean; that you instead mean to ask what legal action you can take to seek monetary compensation for your loss of liberty, economic losses, and emotional distress. You certainly may sue your accuser (your ex) for malicious... View More

In this scenario, I'm guessing the medical people will have a different story - but if you can prove this happened, I believe the medical people would be liable both civilly and criminally for false imprisonment and battery (at least), and potentially liable civilly for malpractice.

The issue is negligence - who drove their vehicle in a negligent (careless) manner by not properly looking out for oncoming vehicles? That could have been one of you or both, but if the officer blamed you, in documentation, for improper backing (even though he/she didn't issue a ticket) and... View More

I agree with Mr. Osherow. The issue is preventing any potential legal challenge to the contract as not being the true meeting of the minds of the parties - that is, a claim that someone switched out any of the language that comes before the signature pages.

I've never heard of this issue, so just looked up some things up online that may help you. I do NOT vouch for the accuracy of these sites, but they may be good places to start your research and to find knowledgeable people to contact.

The American Safety Council, based in Orlando,... View More

Your question is vague as to the timing of the events, as well as the specific danger posed by the rock-thrower. You may "stand your ground" with reasonable force that is necessary for self-defense - that is, to stop an ongoing attack that may cause death or great bodily injury to you.... View More

Your daughter should schedule a consultation with an employment lawyer in her geographic area. Can an employer tell an employee to work at another location or instead me terminated? Usually, yes, because in most circumstances, the employer does not need a reason to terminate. However, you raise... View More

If DCF does not have a court order requiring the drug test, DCF can ask you to take a drug test but cannot make you take a test. However, if you refuse testing and there is information that they think indicates that your use or possession of drugs endangers your child, DCF might take legal action... View More

Your question begs the question, didn't you know you could stop going to that doctor and simply choose another one who's in your Medicaid plan network, so that you would not have to pay a dime? If you did not know that, why not? Did your doctor somehow mislead you into believing you... View More

Your question is too vague. I suggest you re-post with short description of what caused a newborn to be taken. And by "defac", do you mean DCF (Dept. of Children and Families)? And by "notifying you parents", do you mean notifying the parents of the child being taken away?

You did not ask a question. Re-post to state what you wish to find out or what kind of help you are seeking. Also, we see our on end says, "Orland, CA asked ... in Civil Rights, Domestic Violence, Elder Law and Identity Theft for Florida." State where the events occurred, as it's... View More

I agree with Mr. Celeste's answer and am writing to address your last statement: "I’m considering finding a different lawyer...". That sounds like you have retained (signed with) an attorney already. If that's the case, and you fire that lawyer, he/she will likely have lien... View More

If the lady voluntarily, without duress, desires to communicate with you and does so, no, the husband cannot prevent that communication by any legal means. (Does he think we live in Afghanistan?) However, you'll want to avoid a situation where the wife "flips" on you and claims you... View More

Your inquiry is a bit vague regarding what you mean by having your "witness show up and provide statement", but I'm guessing you mean "set the case for trial and have my witness testify at trial." It is totally up to the prosecutor what deal to offer you. If they wish,... View More

You can fire your attorney at any time for any reason, but the terminated attorney would then have a lien on your case for his/her fees and cost expenditures - and in some cases, that can scare off other attorneys from taking the case. You did not state the reason for the delay, which seems... View More

I'm not an expert on mobile home sales, so just giving some guidance. In Fla., there is no right to rescind ANY contract unless (A) the contract provides the right, or (B) there's a statute that provides that right for that particular type of contract. I've never heard of a statute... View More

Start by calling the police for your locality. They should be interested in investigating your matter. Also, the Fla. Attorney General's Office's Fraud Hotline 1-866-966-7226 possibly could be interested. I think this issue can be solved through law enforcement, but if you must end up... View More

You did not ask a question. If you are wondering if the dealer is living up to its end of the bargain, schedule a consultation with an attorney to review the transaction documents and go over the communications you had with the dealer. The failure to disclose that the car had been in an accident... View More
