Im applying for a job at 31.80$ an hour. After passing the interview and the day before orientation I notice on the website they had changed it online to 22$ a hour. If they try to change it when I go to orientation tomorrow can I sue?
answered on May 24, 2023
No you cannot sue. An employer has to pay at least minimum wage, that's it. They can even reduce the pay for existing employees if there is no contract with proper notice.
I would like to know which laws in Pennsylvania mirror the following laws as listed in the question from the state of Georgia.
OCGA § 44-14-162.2 (a) ,
OCGA 16-8-102 (5) ,
OCGA 16-8-105 (a) & (b).

Be aware that a mistake is not perjury.
You may or may not be able to reverse the judgment depending upon whether you had the affidavit before the judgment was rendered and whether you had access to the information showing the error.

It seems unlikely to me but this is not something I'm well-versd in. I suggest that you seek out an attorney who specializes in civil litigation. You might consider taking the time to do some research on the topic as well.

Short answer is that a mortgage must be satisfied before you sell the house or satisfied at closing. If the mortgage is not satisfied the purchaser will be buying the house subject to the recorded mortgage lien. Please feel free to call my office if you have additional questions.

Absolutely. Judgments are one of the main reasons that individuals chose to file bankruptcy. You may want to move quickly as once the creditor receives the judgment, they can engage in post-judgment activities like garnishment or seizure of assets.
I called and they said that I owed money to Wells Fargo regarding an account at Wachovia 30 years ago, I think.

It sounds like a scam. I'd ignore it. If its a scam, there is no lawsuit and never will be. Moreover you have to be served with the complaint and summons by someone authorized by Pennsylvania law to do so. Relax and enjoy Halloween night.

You need to file suit against the neighbor. They can't build on your property. You need to survey it, then you can say it's truly on your line.

You need to hire an attorney. This isn't d.i.y., and a good attorney can hopefully get it dismissed.

If I am pregnant and just under the age 16 can a marriage license be granted by a judge if me and my partner are financially stable, have transportation, and a house?
answered on Aug 3, 2021
Depends on the age of the partner. A judge may grant a marriage license but it has to be shown to be in your best interests and the parents need to consent.
