When the term "State" is capitalized in 8 USC 1101(36), it does have a specific legal definition that goes beyond the 50 U.S. states. In this context, "State" can include territories, possessions, and other areas under U.S. jurisdiction, which is why it’s broader than the... View More
One of my friends wanted to know if 12 USC 411 makes it the government's responsibility to pay back debts and loans given the wording "The said notes shall be obligations of the United States". They believe that because of this if they take out a loan they have no obligation to pay... View More

Your friend is misunderstanding the purpose of 12 USC 411. The phrase "The said notes shall be obligations of the United States" refers to the currency itself, meaning that Federal Reserve notes are backed by the U.S. government. This ensures that the currency is legal tender for debts... View More

Attorneys on this forum can't take up your offer to review your contract. The format here is limited to Q & A. It isn't set up for attachments or confidential review of documents. That's probably why the question wasn't picked up. You could reach out to attorneys through the... View More
I was honorably discharged from the navy after 3 and a half years for refusing to get the covid 19 vaccine. And recently the secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth has issued a memorandum that rescinds all policies associated with the DOD COVID-19 vaccination mandate.

You might have grounds to open a case if your discharge was directly related to policies that have since been rescinded. It's important to understand that legal challenges against the Department of Defense or any military branch require specific grounds such as wrongful discharge or violations... View More

One option is to use a reputable shredding company. They can provide a receipt for completion of the work, which you could retain for your records. Good luck

It could be difficult for attorneys here to reach out to you. This is geared more as a Q & A site than an attorney referral service. In addition to your own searches for attorneys online, you could try the tab above, "Find a Lawyer." Good luck

I'm not certain what it was that you signed while hooked up to IVs in the hospital, but I'll address the personal injury aspect of your question, since you posted under that category. If you were injured in the course of your employment, it's possible you could have the basis for a... View More

This sounds like a very thick and complex file, and one that could involve multiple attorneys - workers' comp, disability, and depending on the role of the truck, possibly third-party action(s). Based on the serious injuries you describe in terms of five screws, you may want to discuss this in... View More

Employment applications are invitations to be considered for employment. They are not contracts nor do they guarantee that someone will be considered for a job. Many require certifications that accurate, complete, and truthful information is being provided under penalties of perjury.

Why do you want to pay a lawyer to do something you could accomplish on your own? It doesn't require legal skills to apply for teacher certification. Given your credentials, you are clearly bright enough to deal with the process. But if you wish to have a lawyer handle it for you, you could... View More
I am a County Employee. As part of our collective bargaining agreement, the county requires us to attend mandatory training on our own time. My question is- can FLSA / Labor Law be negotiated away in a collective bargaining agreement?
answered on Oct 7, 2019
Looks like that requires a thorough reading and analysis of your collective bargaining agreement. Most employment lawyers will probably charge for reviewing and analyzing employment contracts.
You can always present that issue to PERB the NYS Public Employment Relations Board. Generally,... View More
Will I get denied if I do not have an attorney at my court hearing?
answered on Aug 19, 2019
You won't get denied just because you don't have an attorney, but you're much more likely to be successful if you have one. That's because an attorney will know what records you need and will argue why you should be considered disabled. However, you will need to get an attorney... View More
