In Delaware, whether you can sell your shares to the highest bidder largely depends on the company's bylaws, stockholders' agreement, or any other agreements you may have entered into when you acquired or during the tenure of holding the shares. Some companies have a "right of first... View More
Or file anything. The Lawer is requesting all my medical records from Jan 16 to current along with all my drs treatment medications phone records. Isn’t this excessive?

There are different strategies that can be taken depending on your... View More
Salary was substantially reduced and I was notified via phone call and email. I signed an initial contract stating what my compensation would be and now it is greatly reduced.

However, employers routinely send offer letters to prospective... View More

If you have to turn yourself in, that tells me you have an outstanding warrant. Better to turn yourself in with money in your pocket to post bond than wait to be picked up at an inconvenient time. Your work will find out no matter what.

Although you asked you question under employment law, this is not an employment issue. Instead, it's a healthcare issue. The fact is that a doctor can refuse to accept a person as a patient. Your best bet is to attempt to repair the relationship with whoever has a problem with you.
