An Alabama attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for three weeks. I'm sorry you're still awaiting a response, but this forum isn't set up for attorneys to reach out to help you - you have to reach out to them. This is only a Q & A Board, not an attorney referral... View More
a you tube program has published photos of me without my permission, It is illegal? I don't want them to use my image
answered on Jan 6, 2021
We all have a right of privacy, which includes our "right of publicity." However, if your image was taken while you were in a public place, and/or your image was only briefly shown, it will be much harder to assert your claim. Please consult with an IP/privacy attorney to fully assess your rights.

It can actually be both. Since no work was done and he converted your money into his money and you got nothing for it, then that can be construed as Theft by Deception 1st, a class B Felony since he has taken your money and not returned. Talk to the police or sheriffs office in your county about... View More
He recently got a domestic charge (3rd degree) with another woman (called in by his neighbors). I spoke to a previous girlfriend as well & both tell me horrible things he's done to them (text).

You have all the rights. Do not let him bully you into seeing her and possibly hurting her. You do not have to let him see her and it is bad for you if you do, knowing what he does. Go to DHR and sign up for child support. They do not do visitation nor custody. He will have to get a lawyer to get... View More

If you are a lawful permanent resident, authorized to work, or a U.S. Citizen, then the answer is likely no. The challenge is that you must contact an attorney, who handles civil rights matters in Alabama to discuss the violation of your civil rights based upon the legal decisions in the Eleventh...

You have no rights to the camper. However you do have rights to the lot it’s on since you are paying rent. Start charging him rent for every day it’s left therez

You should be able to get it back fairly quickly if they are through processing it. I assume it was used in the commission of a crime and that’s why they have it. Once they have processed it you will be able to get it back.
Is it a scam? It also says court info will be sent to by the USPS but has no link to any thing and it says the lawsuit like I knew about it?

Probably, but without more information, it would be almost impossible for any attorney to assist you.
For example:
1. Is the email from a recognizable email address (e.g. larry@deweycheatemandhowe.com) or is it from a nonsensical string of letters and numbers (e.g.... View More
Positive for marijuana, could I be allowed to be move out permanently considering I’m almost 18?
answered on Apr 15, 2020
Yes in this situation DHR would probably allow you to remain in the home where you are, as long as they all test negative, as part of a safety plan
Force me back home? I’ve been living with these people since February.
answered on Apr 15, 2020
Yes they can. Until you reach 18 you are considered the custody of your parents. If you refuse you can be charged as a juvenile and made to go home.

How do you know the person actually saw your records or was scamming you?
answered on Jun 13, 2019
Probably not. If you read this provision (also known as the Bill of Rights for Mental Health Patients), it does not appear to contain any mandatory language. It is merely a RECOMMENDATION from Congress to the states of what the states "SHOULD" do to provide for rights and treatment of... View More
I wrote up a contract stating terms and conditions payment date and total amount owed we both signed but had no witness or notary is this contract legal and how can I get my fourwheeler back since we are no longer friends and I have someone willing to get it out of my name and in theirs.
answered on May 29, 2019
It appears the contract is legal which means you can enforce it in an Alabama court.

I told you on that without writing in sentences beginning with capitals and ending with periods, it is impossible to be certain enough to respond accurately. Your writing is a single run-on sentence.
