To suggest a state mushroom for Alabama, you'll need to engage with the state legislative process. Start by identifying a state legislator, either a senator or representative, who would be interested in sponsoring a bill to designate a state mushroom. Finding a legislator with a keen interest...

The car is payed off in my dads name but I pay for everything else (insurance, gas, maintenance, etc). My parents are collectively kicking me out and said that I am to leave the keys for my vehicle here but I have no other transportation. Please help ASAP.

Unfortunately, no, the car is not yours even if you are paying the insurance. The ownership of a car goes off the title. So, if you are not on the title, it is not your car.

No. That is called commerce.
Extortion is obtaining money through force or unlawful threats.
For example, “If you don’t pay us $500 every month, we will bust out your windows and bust up your merchandise.”

I am unsure if the letter was forged by an employee of the attorney or another party. Should I obtain my own attorney to handle this or go to the attorney the document came from first?
answered on Oct 23, 2022
An Alabama attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for four weeks. It depends what the document you mention is. If it is correspondence and you suspect the signature is forged or that the document is otherwise not legitimate, you could pick up the phone and ask the attorney if... View More

Credit report says debt was written off.
About a year ago, I contacted my elementary school, requesting my school transcript. When I received it, I noticed there was no certified birth certificate number.

I’m being harassed by a man I met online. We were in a long distance digital relationship that I ended, but now he won’t go away. He’s sending threats/messages/images to me/my family. How can I make him stop?

I would suggest calling the non-emergency number for you local police department. Describe the situation and detail the threatening messages. You might be able to get a protection from abuse order based on the facts of your situation.

Likely depends on the language of the lease agreement, property insurance agreements, and renters insurance agreements. I would suggest taking those documents to an attorney for review to get specific advise.

Don't knock yourself out selecting a major on the basis of whether it will be best-suited for law school. Paralegal studies is good. Criminal justice is good too, as are dozens of majors you can choose from. They both give you options if your plans change. Experienced paralegals do much of the... View More
