If my LLC owes $30,000 to insurance companies claiming they overpaid, can I close out or dissolve the LLC without paying this debt? The LLC currently has no plans to dissolve and holds no assets to settle the debt. Additionally, there haven't been any communications or agreements made with the... View More

This is a tough position to be in, and it’s important to understand that closing the LLC doesn’t automatically erase its debts. When you dissolve a business, you're supposed to notify creditors and give them a chance to make claims. Ignoring that step could leave you personally exposed if... View More
My car was stolen from my apartment complex. The complex claims to have 24-hour surveillance cameras, private security, and assigned, covered parking to keep our vehicles safe. However, after the theft, they told me all cameras had been non-functional for two weeks prior. We pay for covered parking... View More

You trusted the complex’s representations that you were paying for secure, monitored parking, so you may have a breach-of-contract or misrepresentation claim if those features were promised in writing (like in your lease or amenities brochure) but never delivered. While landlords generally... View More

In June 2024, I hired a business to insulate my ceilings with blown-in insulation. However, they removed a drop ceiling and installed drywall only, which was not what I agreed upon. I've contacted them multiple times offering a chance to rectify the issue by doing one room at a time (3 rooms... View More

You’re dealing with what sounds like a breach of contract. If you have written documentation—like a proposal, invoice, or messages—that clearly states the agreement was for ceiling insulation and not drywall installation, that will help support your case. Even if the company claims your... View More
I want to sell shirts with a celebrity's name printed on them without any design or image of the celebrity. However, the celebrity's name is trademarked and associated with other brands. What permissions or licenses might I need to proceed legally?
answered on Mar 12, 2025
Selling shirts printed with a trademarked celebrity name, even without an image or additional design, can present significant legal issues. Trademark law protects names when they're closely linked to branding, merchandise, or a person's identity. By using a celebrity’s trademarked name... View More
