I was involved in an armed gas station robbery in 2019. DA called me Feb. of this year and admitted they were sending everything to the wrong person with my same name despite having my police report and information. They said the lead investigator would call me in March. Never did. I finally called... View More

If you have not been personally served with a subpoena you have no legal obligation to appear. However, I assume you are important witness since, as you say, you were "involved in an armed gas station robbery." Unless you were a participant, you might want to give some thought to... View More
I received a letter from DCFS stating they closed the case I want to know if the cps case is closed as well. I'm not sure if they are both the same thing in Louisiana.
I attended a residence zoom meeting it was recorded and notes were taken, when the notes were distributed my name was next to the most serious complaints about illegal issues at our apartment complex
answered on Mar 11, 2021
The short answer is yes. You participated in a quasi public meeting, so you should not be surprised that the notetaker included your identity and what issues you raised. You only want to be sure that you were quoted accurately.
I originally booked 14 days at an inn. I checked in and I was charged the 2 weeks right away. I asked if ever I decided to check out early is there refund. Guy said yes. On the 6th day, I told the receptionist I'm checking out and gave the card keys. Receptionist said I'm good to go... View More

Small Claims is an option. However, if you booked through a third party, like Booking.com or similar, I don't think you can get your money back.

Sorry about what happened. I would make sure that her office knows what happened to you and see if there is any way to help get your $2000 back. Unlikely, but worth a try.
Keep those VMs!
Good luck!

An attorney could contact the companies on your behalf and hopefully be taken seriously.
Hi my girlfriend and I plan on starting an investigative journalism based YouTube account. We want to shoot a video called, “A look into the black market cannabis scene.” For this video we plan to interview black market cannabis dealers who work with cartels along with filming their operation....

We are wondering what liability can come from this? We do not currently make money from the internet and are just making interesting videos. The contract says we grant non-exclusive license. We're fine giving it away for free but since we don't make money from this, we just want to make... View More

An Arizona attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for four weeks. Because of its complexity and detail, this could be a difficult post for an attorney to respond to without knowing more information, and likely seeing the agreement you mention. If you continue not to get a response,... View More
consent when they realized herage they proceeded to continue giving her the vaccine and gave her a date to return for the 2nd vaccine but took back her copies of the paper work
answered on Feb 23, 2021
You may have a technical claim, but as the vaccine has been used on millions with few side effects, you may want to consider if you don't want her to have the second dose which would be highly beneficial to her.
For advice on a claim contact the Arizona Trial Lawyers Association... View More
She didn’t know he was married. No threats or abusive language was used. He tends to lie to I wanted her to know he was married. Again she did not. I apologized for contacting her and assured her I would not bother her. Several hours later she said she was very private and felt unsafe. Again no... View More

The fact that she's uncomfortable doesn't mean you did anything wrong. Just leave her alone and don't worry about it.
Everytime i got him to call, he says my wife is listening on speaker too.. so i don't think there going to disclose any info. If its a privacy law Is there a way around it?
answered on Feb 3, 2021
What information are you seeking? If the phone is in his name, then he has access to his records. Instead of involving the phone company, why does he not just download them and give them to you, or give you online access to those records?
If he is unwilling to cooperate, then you should... View More
a you tube program has published photos of me without my permission, It is illegal? I don't want them to use my image
answered on Jan 6, 2021
We all have a right of privacy, which includes our "right of publicity." However, if your image was taken while you were in a public place, and/or your image was only briefly shown, it will be much harder to assert your claim. Please consult with an IP/privacy attorney to fully assess your rights.

Until you are 18 your mother makes the rules. You only get one mother so you should show her the ultimate level of respect.
Advocating them to get life in prison instead of Death row

Generally no, but if those are ideas involve threatening or coercing witnesses/victims, then yes.
Similarly to the Humans of NY but I'm using it for Cooksville, Mississauga. I'll be using it for my social media as a project under my non-for-profit.

If you're asking from the standpoint of concerns about infringing on someone's (or some company's or organization's) existing right to use those terms with a recognized name or brand, that is something a trademark attorney knows the most about. There's no guarantee that all... View More
The title says it all. Annoying when accessing financial accounts, emails, conversations with family/friends, photos, etc.
answered on Nov 29, 2020
It's possible your internet service provider could help you more with this than an attorney could. You could ask them what measures you could take to enhance your security (password protection for network, log in protocols for sites you use, etc.). They would probably have other suggestions...

My uncle disappeared. He did leave a message on Facebook saying he was going "off the grid", but that message has also disappeared. Police in Centennial, CO (where he lived) and Denver refuse to report him as a missing person because they say he is an adult who left voluntarily. But the... View More

First off, I am sorry that you and your family are suffering through this.
As for the law concerning missing persons, you may consult CO Statute 16-2.7-102, which states that "any person with relevant, credible information suggesting that a person is missing MAY make a missing person... View More
Can I legally record a motel clerk speaking to me at the front desk in Pennsylvania without getting permission?
answered on Nov 22, 2020
It depends on the laws in Pennsylvania and if this place is considered public. For example, in Florida there is a 2 party consent wire tap law. This means in FL, if you want to audio record an individual, you need their consent. Other states, like Georgia, have a 1 party consent law, which would... View More
I've been sent threatening messages from the same person through different accounts and they have made fake accounts just to be able to send these messages to me. Does it still count towards harassment even though it's fake accounts and names?
answered on Oct 20, 2020
Yes, you may want to consider seeking an Order of Protection against this person. You could also consider calling the non-emergency police line and reporting the harassment. Sometimes a cease and desist letter from an attorney is successful in getting someone to stop messaging. If these options... View More
