I apologize, but I am not entirely sure what type of relationship you are describing. Your description would include many different scenarios. Most importantly would be any contractual obligations of the parties. I have no doubt the subsidiary has options, but I don't know what may be the best one.

Unfortunately, it seems you had your day in court and may be prevented from taking any further steps at this time. Perhaps you can seek reconsideration or alike. Without knowing exactly what happened it is hard to advise. Perhaps you can afford a limited-scope representation. Good luck.
Can you please help me interpret the wireless communications device statute? What I see is that I am supposed to first receive a warning and the second or subsequent time a $275 fine.
answered on Mar 25, 2024
The statute provides "a person who violates paragraph (a) a second or subsequent time must pay a fine of $275." It does not express a warning is required for a first violation. One can infer the fine should be less than $275.

If you have given a two-month notice as per your lease agreement and have documentation to back this up, you should be protected under most rental agreements and state laws. Ensure you have copies of the notice you provided, any acknowledgment received from the old company, and any other relevant... View More

You do not have to have that verbiage in your proposal. Likewise, they do not need to accept your proposal. Unfortunately, without a better understanding of the situation, I don't know what leverage you have in negotiating.

Having a criminal record expunged may not restore a person's right to possess firearms. You don't provide enough detail to determine your situation. An attorney can assist you if you want it done properly. Some attorneys are affordable and some are not.
