Your "employer" needs to talk with an experienced bankruptcy attorney in order to determine their best course of action. This is not a decision that should be made lightly. Do not rely on a "mass-production" law firm (one that pays for advertising on the Internet or TV).... Read more »

In a Ch. 11, the debtor... Read more »

Hello there!
The answer for your question depends on some other things, but in general I would say there are many public domain jokes which can be freely used and are freely used by many people, many products and so on (if the joke slogan is not trademarked for instance).

The watch is "Pro-4 Tactical Survival Watch". Imported and distributed by: Pro-4 Marketing LLC 32411 Industrial Drive, Madison Heights, MI 48071
answered on Apr 1, 2023
Yes, but it may be easier to just return the faulty watch for a refund if it is new or for warranty repair service if it has been used but is still in warranty.
Lawsuits can be fairly expensive.
I filed a complaint in Superior court pro se and the defendant acquired an attorney and answered. The attorney has now reached out to move forward with discovery and other protocol but I have had issues acquiring counsel and need more time. Can I at least file a motion for more time so my case is... Read more »
answered on Mar 3, 2023
Can you? Sure. It's a motion to extend time to respond to discovery. Be forewarned: now that you've filed and the defendant has responded, it may be more difficult to find a lawyer to take your case, or may require a hefty retainer upfront. Good luck.

A commercial landlord can lock out a tenant without first obtaining a court order. This option is often specifically reserved in many commercial leases. It is also one of the remedies allowed by ARS 33-361.
The owner changed management companies if that matters.
answered on Dec 22, 2021
This can be done if handled properly by the landlord or his management company. Your documents should be reviewed by an attorney. They may consist of an offer that is binding upon your acceptance. Or they may contain language that provides the proposal is not binding upon the landlord until... Read more »

Most likely any creation would be considered as a gift.
Depending on the value of the creation an attorney can advise you on what to do

It depends on the type of business you have. You will need a license and registration with agencies.
Consult with an attorney.

If you continue not to get a response,... Read more »

Thanks so much for the list. You will need to hire an attorney to prepare these for you. If the business is in San Diego the attorney must be licensed in California.

No, the equipment is not yours. It is the property of your employer. You should continue to contact your employer until you get a response regarding how the equipment should be returned.

It might still be valid. This depends upon how the sale was structured and the agreements made with the buyer. I recommend that you discuss with an employment law attorney before you make any decisions.
