Hi, I had work in an art gallery for a show, and when the show was over the gallery owner asked me to leave one piece of work with him so that he could try to sell it. It has been about two and a half years now. I texted with him about getting it back about a year ago and he agreed we'd try to meet... Read more »
Perhaps, yes.
Was any of your agreement or understanding stated in writing, or via texts or emails?
If so, do you still have access to them?

If you are an employee of this contractor, your employer cannot make you wait for your pay until a client pays. You are entitled to payment on regularly designated pay days.
As to why there is a delay, there could be any number of reasons and no one here can know that answer. There are... Read more »

Interesting … I owned Jewelry stores for over 20 years … and sometimes this issue came up. As with any such agreement, with foreseeable and reasonable reliance upon the terms of the agreement, you are entitled to restitution for those costs & expenses that you cannot reasonably "return" to...

My contract states I will be provided a free health plan or stipend towards another plan. The newly formed company is not providing this and rates have gone up to over 2K a year.

Your post is not entirely clear about your relationship with this company, nor does the post have additional information needed to provide a clear, reliable answer.

The first step is to set up the initial free consultation via video call with reviewing the documents on screen. You will want to "interview" at least three business attorneys who have both business ownership experience and expertise in such matters. Shawn Jackson - Business Development Attorney

What is your question?
The state gun laws do nothing for the law abiding citizen and make it easier on criminals to attack citizens. I feel discriminated against as a law abiding citizen. The people responsible for making every gun law don't have enough knowledge and experience with firearms. I've recently just found out... Read more »
You can challenge a law as being unconstitutional if you have been concretely and particularly injured by the law. The interpretation of the Second Amendment is in question right now, and there is a great deal of litigation involving the interpretation and extent of the Amendment.

I have an instant messaging system on my office computers. Some users are logging out. We can’t fire them, but how can I set consequences for logging out or ignoring messages? What can I do to make the software so users can’t disconnect? Program is Synology Chat. Server is Windows.
There is a middle ground between firing people and letting them sabotage your system. An attorney can provide rules and procedures that can be set up and provided to employees. Rules can be enforced without firing people.
Firing employees who perform their tasks, except for the ones they... Read more »
The manager is not an owner. It is a franchise restaurant.
No, there is nothing unlawful about an employer only hiring people who owes them money.
Good luck to you.
You can sue anyone for anything as long as you can get them served.
You're case will be summarily dismissed, probably for not stating a claim upon which relief may be granted.
You may be cited for filing a frivolous suit.
If you mean a medical practice PC, probably not. However, the question is unclear. What is it you want to do? Just mentioning "holding shares through a joint venture" does not give much of a hint about what legal solution might be appropriate.
CA-based nonprofit (MCEP) has not paid me $9000.00 for off-contract work, authrozied by CA-based MCEP (not Mexico-based IPAM), via PoA. Can I file suit to collect in CA, rather than Mexico? Looks like I cannot file in small claims court, because of my LLC, but in LA County Superior Court. But... Read more »
California courts will generally enforce forum selection clauses if the contract has a reasonable connection to the forum. The bigger problem here that California doesn't have any power to enforce a judgment (jurisdiction) over a Mexican state agency.
The company's name is Welk's resort.
I'm sorry that you're in this position. From what you've stated, it sounds like the timeshare company has breached some of their obligations under the contract.

I have an Instagram account to show semi celebrities’ caricatures. I am not doing anything with those artworks to make money myself, these are only to show on this SNS.
One day I had a chance to meet with one of the musicians I drew, and gave him a print out of his caricature I did and he... Read more »
It looks light he might have copied the drawing improperly. Responses could include anything from a nasty cease and desist letter to making a deal. Consulting an attorney could help you determine what action might have the best chance of making some money for you.
I have been basically cleaning and doing check ins for Airbnb host for 8 months. Now they don't want to pay me the $1200 they owe me and keep giving me the run around.
If you have performed work for someone and have not been paid, yes, you have a legal claim. Whether that claim is based on you being an employee, or simply a contract breach claim is something that would have to be determined through more knowledge about your situation. At this point it would be... Read more »
They refuse to offer any sort of compensation as well as require me to pay my freight bill above the hard costs I incurred and said I needed to take them to court.

You can take them to court. If your claim is up to $10,000 you can go to small claims court. The filing fee is low and lawyers do not take part. You can "Google" California Superior Court. The court website has tutorial information and guidance. It is a more direct to way go after money.
After working for the company for a few years they required us to sign a non-compete. I was paid a small amount extra as consideration. In 2015 I got a promotion and they moved me to California. The company is headquartered in KS and I am employed in California. Does that invalidate the non-compete?
Obviously, the terms of the agreement, and the circumstances surrounding it, will be the biggest factors in evaluating its enforceability. However, non compete agreements, especially in California are difficult to enforce.
