Going through arbitration on Upwork for work not delivered by a freelancer. Just wondering, if the arbitration team decides to take the side of the freelancer - can I sue? Since that's supposed to be the final decision. I don't know the decision yet but I have substantiative proof that... Read more »

No one can advise you about whether you can appeal the arbitration decision or otherwise sue without looking at the contract. However the best that can be done is say that usually arbitration agreements preclude any other form of legal action, and even appealing an arbitration award is very... Read more »

Contract interpretation is not as simple as you might think. Attorneys learn from early on that contract interpretation cannot be done in a vacuum. Not only should the entire contract be read and understood - not just a single provision - but the circumstances of the making of the agreement... Read more »

YOU WANT A CIVIL LITIGATOR.
HOWEVER, THE ISSUE WILL BE DAMAGES.
YOU HAVE TO PROVE HOW YOU WERE DAMAGED BY THIS INCORRECT INFO.

Before thinking about a lawyer consider the value of your claim. Lawyers are expensive and their fees may exceed the value of a potential recovery. Consider small claims court if the value of your claim is less than $10,000.

I agree with Mr. Gribow. Consult a personal injury attorney who will review the contract you signed with the gym. If their machine was defective they cannot just tell you they're not liable. You usually cannot waive liability for their negligence or for a defective product.

The fees were not stated on the lease and I have been finding out about them as I go. he First asked for a utilities fee and then a renters insurance and now he wants another payment... Read more »
answered on Jan 21, 2023
You should review the lease agreement thoroughly. If those fees are not started in the lease then the landlord has no grounds to make you pay them. Regarding your question about backing out of the lease and getting a refund, you should consult the lease as well because you may be in beach of... Read more »
Threatening to sell everything what can I do?I am not an attorney I’m looking for advice
answered on Jan 20, 2023
I assume you signed some sort of contract, work order, or invoice with the moving company? You should review the terms of the agreement to see what it says. It would be best to have an attorney review it for you, but if you cannot afford an attorney, then try to figure out if there are any terms in... Read more »
Or even attempting to collect his or her payment prior to taking it?
answered on Jan 20, 2023
It depends. Did you pay in full for the car and receive a title in your name? If so, then I would say no. At that point the dealer is stealing a car. If you did not pay in full, but financed the car, and you stopped making payments, then possibly yes, the dealer can repossess the car for failure to... Read more »

The true owner of the vehicle is the individual who's name appears on the title. If your name is not on the title, then it is not your car. It doesn't even sound like you have possession of the vehicle, so I cannot see how you could be the owner of it. As you know, typically when a car is... Read more »
The suspect has a restraining order and convicted with 3 felony charges and I don’t think it was right to be evicted because of someone else careless actions and terrorize my well being .
answered on Jan 19, 2023
That sounds like an awful situation you were in and I am glad you have made progress to get away from the "suspect." The Landlord may be able to evict you if they had no connection to the suspect and depending on the reason that they evicted you. If it already went to court and you lost,... Read more »

It sounds like there is still a possibility to negotiate a solution which will be most beneficial for both parties.

I am sorry for your loss. If the space was rented by your boyfriend, they may require proof of authority as a successor (e.g. executor, administrator, trustee) to provide access. It may be that listing you on his contract is ineffective after he passes (like a power of attorney)--to be definite,... Read more »
Each unit is assigned 1 parking spot. Renters are using their designated parking spot to park their non-operational car and have created a 2nd “parking spot” to park their operating car. That 2nd “spot” blocks the path going in & out of the back gate creating a safety hazard and just... Read more »

It is unlawful to sell a NEW car with an open recall. It is negligent, unfair, misleading and perhaps more depending on who said what and when, to sell a USED car with an open recall.

I just want legal advice on how to evict him or make him pay half his share
answered on Jan 6, 2023
More info is needed, and it should be shared with a real estate, not a criminal attorney.
chances are you will need a lawsuit in small claims court.
if he had not moved out, you would also be looking into an unlawful detainer.............
this is NOT domestic violence in my opinion.

answered on Jan 19, 2023
There is no good/easy way to make him pay half. It is the Landlord that has a right to collet rent; you have a right to contribution, but it is not worth pursuing against someone who moved out. If you want to keep the place without your ex, you can talk to your landlord about changing the lease... Read more »
