I recently had a private Instagram message leaked by a famous athlete on his story, including my username. This led to numerous people harassing me and my family, which forced me to delete my Instagram and X accounts. My X account had over 6,800 followers at the time. Do I have grounds to sue?

I bought a dash cam and I read if the dash cam isn't placed on the dashboard, then it can be invalid evidence because it wasn't legally placed in the car. Is this because of consent laws to record in Massachusetts? I can't find any concrete evidence that shows that they need to be on... View More

You may need to file for voluntary administration or petition for probate so that you may be appointed administrator or personal representative, depending on the value of the assets he left behind. Once appointed, you can then transfer title.

We would need a little more information. You will most likely need to speak to an attorney to review your current personal tax and company situation, more in-depth. Are you a sole proprietor or are there partners? You mentioned "again". Have you opened and operated this business before?

The words distribute in commerce can be read to mean sale to citizens of... View More
