Whether the business would have a valid claim against you depends on the applicability and validity of the contract language at issue, as well as the validity of the entire contract. Therefore, it would be best for you to schedule a consultation with an attorney handling contract disputes. If the... View More

The answer to your question depends on whether you have a valid, enforceable lease agreement, and if so, whether there are lease terms that dictate how the parties must attempt to resolve the types of disputes you are having, and on whether there is any issue of landlord's failure to meet...

That depends on what caused you to lose control - someone else's carelessness or your own?, or a combination of both? Regardless, to get the advice you really need for this issue, you must schedule an appointment with an attorney handling traffic ticket defense in your geographic area. With... View More

It sounds like you are wondering if an employer is illegally discriminating against you by hassling you about your work speed. The only way that this might possibly be a legal issue is if you have a disability that the employer was made aware of, and you are able to competently work for that... View More

It depends on whether you signed a new contract accepting the different vehicle. If you did not, the dealer breached your contract, in which case you of course would have a legal remedy. Consult an attorney in your area handling auto dealer or consumer protection issues. Also, your county... View More

Yes, you were battered, which is a crime and a tort (a wrong for which you may make a claim for money damages). The extent of your injury is a factor as to whether it is the type of case you will be able to get assistance or representation on. Regarding criminal charges, only your local police... View More

I assume you're asking this question because you want the employee to be charged with a crime. More details would be needed on exactly what happened to determine if it constitutes a crime, but assuming the employee's act IS a crime, a video should not be necessary unless the employee has...

Your inquiry is a bit vague. If this was a hit-and-run, with a driver fleeing the accident scene, what does "found at a hit and run" mean? If you mean the truck was found somewhere else, and police determined that it was the vehicle that hit and ran, AND the police have not yet... View More

I agree with Mr. Thorgaard. First, because you are writing from a location said to be "Miami, FL", probably only Fla. attorneys will read your post, and the issue you present is an issue of State law. So transferring title in your case would be a matter of Alabama law. I can tell you... View More

Might or might not be. If it's pointed in a direction that would be considered legitimate security purposes for protection of their property, and simultaneously captures a portion of your back yard (and nothing whatsoever inside your home), it may be legal, regardless of motive. However, if... View More

It certainly sounds like you have a valid and worthwhile potential claim to compensate you for your pain and suffering, medical bills, and any other related damages. The first step in this situation is to present a claim to the insurance company for the business operating the ski lift, and if that... View More

You have a potential court claim for invasion of privacy, and maybe a malpractice claim. With either, there should first be notice of claim and request for disclosure of liability insurance coverage (prelitigation notice being required for malpractice, and optional, but wise, for invasion of...

If you mean a switchblade, a knife that opens all the way up at the touch of a button, but with the blade staying on the knife, it is legal to possess under State law. However, it is NOT legal to carry it concealed unless you have a concealed weapons permit. See Florida Statutes Chapter 790,... View More

If I were you, I'd ask what they would like to speak to you about. Maybe you were listed as a witness or potential witness to something, even if you know nothing about whatever they're looking into. But another scenario is that, for some reason, you are a crime suspect, such as where... View More

Best for you to consult an attorney in person, for review of the contract. Sounds like the employer is in breach, but it depends on whether a "quality bonus" is mandatory or discretionary. If the employer is in breach, the first step is for you to request compliance, and if they refuse,... View More

Good idea; I would drop by with my dog if it flies. First speak to Oakland Park Planning & Zoning staff, and I recommend you go in person in order to review and discuss the list of uses permitted in that zoning category, and to discuss if your intended uses can fit with their interpretation of...

I basically agree with the prior answer by Mr. Minnick. There are also other potential unlawful reasons for termination, such as retaliation for making a discrimination complaint, making a whistleblower report, or making a worker's compensation claim. or if the termination breaches terms of a...

Yes, if another medical professional in the same field is willing to testify that the doctor's actions fell below the applicable medical standard of care. Consult an attorney in your area handling medical malpractice.

Sorry to hear about your ordeal. Your question is, "Can I report the prosecutor?" Of course, to the prosecutor's supervisor or to the State Attorney him/herself (the head of the State Attorney's Office). However, if the charges have officially been dismissed, your complaint... View More
