If you believe that your AirPods were stolen by a supervisor or anyone else who had access to them, you may want to report the incident to the casino's security department and/or to the police. They may be able to investigate the matter and potentially identify the person responsible.... View More

Yes, you may be able to sue the internet company for breach of contract if they failed to pay you as agreed. To have a valid contract, there must be an offer, acceptance, and consideration (which is the thing of value being exchanged). If the company made an offer to pay you $34.60 for reaching... View More

The prize was clearly used as it was scuffed up and literally had somebody else’s name on the back of it. Is this legal? Do I have rights to reach back out to the Restaurant and request a new Switch as advertised?

The casino has charged me and my friends more than the deposit of the disclosure charging some people up to $500 for finding meth in the room. Yet they are not reporting it to authority's so its safe to assume they are making these fees up as hush money and not documenting it for auditors. So... View More

Yes, they are supposed to report and then the authorities can arrest you and all your friends for possession of a controlled substance, you can be criminally charged and will have to hire attorneys to defend yourselves.

I want to use my game in an app so do i patent the game or the app?
answered on Sep 21, 2021
It may be easier to patent the app, you'd likely want to get intellectual property rights to both the app and the game.
You really need to hire a patent attorney to go over the specifics with you.

He bought a lottery ticket and was paid $1,000. The rest was later collected by another person. The prize was $1,000,000.00. The lottery says that they have a time limit. How do we go after the person who collected on the ticket?

why would someone who won $1M wait a long time to collect? does he have a good reason?
you need to find him, make a demand, have proof, and then sue.
however, many lawyers would not take the case on a contingency if they don't feel there is a... View More

It is impossible to know if there is a case without the facts. Was there any paperwork? When and where did all this happen? If you paid $60,000 it might be penny wise and pound foolish to avoid contacting a lawyer. Many lawyers give an initial, no-obligation consultation.
I have played 2 separate apps where I have spent money and have not received anything. I have emailed constantly and gotten no response.

Does the word "SCAM" mean anything to you? In order to sue them you have to find them, in this reality, not in the virtual world. You have to haul them into court in the real world. Once you do that, sue them. Meanwhile, stop gambling with real world money on the internet. Oh, BTW-... View More

however, anyone can sue for anything at any time.
