Apparently you did not cancel the contract within 3 days, which, theoretically, locks you into it.
As you know these COVID-19 times are very uncertain, and we don't know how the courts are going to rule on the multitude of cases affected by the pandemic that are now before the court,... View More

First of all, as you know, life has totally changed as we know it. Hopefully, it will get back better, but I don't know if things will get back to normal. Getting business services to "serve" is very sketchy. If you are in communication with the company that you contracted with... View More

I agree with Mr. Sisco. However, if you are unable to work through what has happened with the attorney, and why, to your satisfaction, it may be worth it to you to consult another attorney regarding your circumstances, and provide more details as to what happened along the way to the current...

Your question is not crystal clear to me but I'll do my best. If you sold the truck and there was a lien on it at the time I assume you had a loan to buy the truck and it was not paid off. That should be reflected on the pink slip and you should have explained that to the buyer.... View More
Due to the corona virus, all my college classes are online. I signed an one year apartment lease and I still have 6 months left. Is there any way I can break my lease legally? This apartment has a roach infestation that we repeatedly asked the landlord to fix but she hasn't done anything about... View More

Generally, you cannot break your lease unless the landlord has breached the lease, with a material breach - meaning it cannot be for something minor. However, a roach infestation is not minor and goes directly to HABITABILITY. Hopefully, you have a written record, letters or emails, that inform... View More

You need to contact the attorney that is representing the Plaintiffs. If that information is not readily available there must be information out there that will enable to determine what courthouse is handling the case and you can get the attorney information there. Good luck.

I've practiced law for 20+ years and I do not believe it is customary. I do not keep any of my client's documents except copies of wills, trusts, contracts that I was involved in providing legal services. However, if the attorney is representing the client's interest as a... View More

You have several issues here surrounding your question. The standard of proof for conviction is "beyond a reasonable doubt" that your friend was driving, and that an acceptable scientifical test was performed that your friend was under the influence based upon the blood alcohol level as...

if the landowner dies and the easement holder goes bankrupt can a third party move in, steal the land?
answered on Mar 5, 2020
You have provided nowhere near enough facts for anyone to answer your question with an informed opinion. That being said, I think it would be fair to say that no one can come in and "steal the land."
At the time he left he owed me 20k which he said he would pay me and never did if I file can I get that money back?

You raise a number of good issues; however, I believe it is less complicated. The school must have premises liability to cover any injuries to persons on the premises that are there legally. The facts that you allege regarding negligence help your argument and serve to defeat a defense that your... View More

I agree it is likely a scam. I get about 6 emails per year from persons located in a foreign country that suddenly want may services without knowing anything about me. Several years ago I followed-up on a couple of these and in they were just phising for information to scam me.

In the area of dental practice it is a breach of contract by the dentist for failing to perform within a reasonable time - 3 months is certainly unreasonable and you are entitled to a refund and would likely prevail in small claims court. This is especially true because you had another dentist... View More
