Not being a member of the LLC is a disadvantage. But it sounds like you may have sufficient proof to establish that you were a partner in this business and, if so, you may be entitled to your share of any net sales proceeds after payment of the bills of the business. I recommend consulting with... View More

No. This is an invasion of your right to privacy and your rights as a tenant. If you can afford a retainer you should probably hire an attorney. It may be difficult to find an attorney who will take this case on a contingency basis but it is possible. If you have limited income you may qualify for... View More

No, Arizona is an "at will" employment state and, unless you are working under an employment contract, your employer is free to make staffing changes at any time.

There are a tangle of issues here and it is never good to have one's privacy violated, especially by a co-worker. On the facts here, it appears that your company internally disclosed that you have a disability. Generally speaking, under the ADA, employers cannot disclose employees'... View More

libel and slander for employees aren't different than from others; however you may have other forms of claims and I would suggest you contact a member of the Az Trial Lawyers Assn that handles employment issues--they represent employees and give free consultations.
IS IT ILLEGAL UNDER EEOC OR SEXUAL DISCRIMINATION?

Yes, this is illegal if the company employs 15 or more workers. Small companies, with less than 15 employees, are not subject to federal employment laws.
I was permanently injured in a car accident in 2010, I was able to work through that injury, this new work injury (required knee surgery (unsuccessful)) of 03/18/16, I am not able to, and the employer has refused to employ me further.
answered on Apr 17, 2017
I can't answer your question about your employment situation. The 2016 knee injury generally can be "unscheduled" IF you have a prior Arizona work injury that also was scheduled OR if you had a previous unscheduled injury that was determined to cause a reduction of your earning... View More
