Since the lawsuit has been filed in Florida state court can my former small business employer (over 50 employees but under 100 employees) have my case dismissed if he went out of business and is now doing business under a different LLC and a different owner?
answered on Sep 8, 2024
No, the former employer can't have your case dismissed simply because he is no longer doing business as before.

You are 200% correct. A woman May breastfeed a child anywhere in public she has a right to be.

Confidentiality of what? - and keeping it confidential between who and whom? You need to post a new inquiry with more details.

By your opening admission, this is the bed that you made, so I doubt the Florida courts will get involved.
Can I do anything about it now

It sounds like you are wondering if an employer is illegally discriminating against you by hassling you about your work speed. The only way that this might possibly be a legal issue is if you have a disability that the employer was made aware of, and you are able to competently work for that... View More
From a federal agency that has abused me at home and in my car for eight years and two months.

It's hard to tell from your brief description what your legal issue is. The word "abused" does not indicate which rights you believe were violated. (For example, the right to be free from false arrest or police excessive force, the right to freedom of speech, the right to be... View More

If victim wants to file a personal injury claim how does the law work for multiple states and multiple assailants. One assailant is a fugitive in that the person was paid to assault me
answered on Aug 3, 2021
Your question doesn't make a lot of sense. What is a "Me Too crime"? What state was it committed in? What state will be prosecuting? What does it have to do with Florida? And what would a personal injury claim have to do with a criminal prosecution?

The issue is not whether the student may be penalized…I think that you may be missing the big picture. The real issue is does the defendant have a privacy expectation from the secret recording of their alleged illegal behaviors?

Well I think you should start with filing a police report in the county and state where the incident occurred.

First and foremost you have the right to remain silent...that means shut your mouth and stop talking and/or writing about what you did or almost did...find a lawyer and don’t talk to anyone but that lawyer.
