[For others seeing this post, the inquirer is adding to her... View More

I'm assuming you have a lawyer. If I'm right, I'm wondering why you're you asking this question online. Is there a problem with your lawyer's representation and advice? Is there a communication problem? If so, that is an issue that needs to be resolved as quickly as... View More

Sorry to hear about your ordeal.

Sorry to hear about your ordeal. You are basically asking if the traffic magistrate can convict someone who shouldn't be found guilty. That's the same as asking if the magistrate has the power to make an incorrect decision. The answer, unfortunately, is yes, and the magistrate is... View More

You inquiry is vague as to what you mean by "events created...". If you have been damaged/injured by the unlawful act of another, you can sue in small claims court for up to $8,000 plus court costs, and in some types of cases, attorney's fees and prejudgment interest are awardable... View More

Generally, no, if there’s not a loan problem, such as the lender disapproving the loan. However, whatever cancelation terms are in the purchase contract would apply. Ask the dealer what provision of the contract enables the dealer to cancel. If there's no logical answer, the dealer is... View More

Regarding the Covid issue, possibly, if it was foreseeable that you'd likely contract Covid if forced to remove your mask, and there was no rational justification to force mask removal.
