Your question is not one that can be meaningfully answered in a couple of sentences. It's like asking, "How do I build a house?" or "How do I perform an appendectomy?"
The short answer to your question is that you file a petition in an appropriate court asserting... View More

A statute of limitation is a time by which a lawsuit must be filed for a specific cause of action. A Missouri judgment is good for 10 years unless revived sooner.
i have asked him when it will be done and he just says that he will finish it when he is ready, i have asked for a refund but he will not do that either, i live in Missouri and the company is in Florida

First, you may only have up to the five-year point before the statute of limitations runs and it is too late to file suit.
Second, if your contract was formed in Missouri you could file suit here. Collecting the judgment may be the hard part, especially because the defendant is in... View More

In order for a money judgment to have been entered against you the plaintiff must have gotten you served. Go to the court and ask to view the return of service. It could be that a family member of yours over age 15 was served and that service was therefore valid.

You state that they are trying to charge you for something without investing time. What does your written contract state as to what is due?
Didn't have the money to go all the way through the patient process. Another company got a hold of our product for the intent to closely reputicate it. What can we do legally or can we start the patient process all over again to try and protect ourselves before they do ?

If you had a public sale of your product, then your public sale put the product into the public domain and you cannot start over to seek a patent on that product. You could continue with the patent process if you started the process before the first public sale and did not abandon the process or... View More

I don't think you have a reasonable expectation of privacy with regards to photos while working out. Why don't you ask the gentleman why he took your photograph?
We just purchased a used car in Missouri from a dealership. Within a couple hours after turning the car on, the light that says airbag failure is on. Is this something that the dealership should have disclosed or that they should have known based on the inspection laws in Missouri?
answered on Apr 3, 2018
The challenge you might face is proving that the dealership knew of the problem and made a misrepresentation to you. If you can prove this, you might have a decent claim under Missouri's consumer fraud statute, the Merchandising Practices Act. Contact a local attorney to discuss.

Yes. If you breach your agreement they can sue and probably will.

Yikes. Bad situation. The first step is to take a look at the affidavit of service to see whom the plaintiff claims was served. If service was invalid, hire an attorney to seek to have it set aside as void.

You need to speak to an attorney quickly. They can best determine to what relief you may be entitled under the law. You may ask your attorney about Missouri's Lemon Law, Merchandising Practices Act, and other opportunities for relief available to you. But there's no easy yes-or-no... View More
