However, legal matters can be... Read more »

An Oregon criminal defense attorney could analyze this best, but your question remains open for three weeks. Until you're able to consult with a local attorney, it may be best to stay away from that store. They could create bigger headaches for you than the loss of store points. Good luck

The main purpose of a summons is to compel an appearance by the defendant. So, if a defendant appears by filing a... Read more »

Yes, you apparently have a Judgment in your favor but now need to be able to enforce it. In this case, that appears to have to be done by a Sheriff and that in turn only happens when the Sheriff gets an express Order (Writ) from the Judge telling the Sheriff to go enforce your Judgment but taking...

Since you gave that much notice, your final check was due on your last day, so it is well overdue. You are entitled to an extra 8 hours of pay for each day they were late, which started that Saturday. I would contact an employment attorney in your area, and your employer will also have to pay...

I am not sure if I understand your question. I understand it to mean that people with hazmat suits recommended closing all or part of a building and management did not follow the recommendation. I am not aware of any laws that require obedience to people wearing hazmat suits. However, if someone... Read more »

You must have a basis to sue your insurance company. You cannot sue your car company merely for asking for documentation to support a claim you are making. To answer this question, more context is needed. What is the underlying claim you are making that would entitle you to insurance coverage?... Read more »

Consider reviewing everything with a local probate attorney. As a general rule, a deceased's debts have to be paid in full before anyone gets to inherit anything of value. You may also be entitled to be paid storage charges before being required to turn the car over to anyone else.

I don't have enough information to answer your specific legal question but, in general, if a car owner dies in Oregon and no probate is filed their intestate heirs can fill out an Inheritance Affidavit at the DMV and transfer their car as the intestate heirs agree. So, if your son was an... Read more »

It sounds like you may have enough evidence for a potential lawsuit. Of course, an attorney would need to verify the content of the contract and the diagnostic tests. This is a malpractice case and a breach of contract case. It is a breach of contract because they are not honoring the warranty... Read more »

Everyone named in this action should hire their own attorneys to assist on this matter since everyone has their own interests in it. In order to have someone removed as a party, the proper motions need to be filed and granted - it's not as simple as just removing them.

Normally one needs considerably more information before being able to tell you anything. But assuming you are referring to a criminal prosecution, who is it you think you can successfully sue? It sounds as if you were prosecuted for some crime, went to trial and won. If essentially accurate, that... Read more »

It is important that you hire a litigator to represent you. This will be the only way you will be appropriately defended and have any chance of receiving your share of the inheritance.

No. That money belongs to you. Unless your lawyer received and misappropriated and kept the money (which is a crime), you should not be affected by his bankruptcy.

Only an Oregon criminal law attorney could advise meaningfully under the posted category of Criminal Law, but your post remains open for a month.

From a CIVIL law standpoint where security became an element upon which damages were claimed, it could possibly become relevant, for instance, if... Read more »

The statute of frauds is used to basically invalidate contracts, which is not what you are trying to do.

You may have a breach of contract if you can show the contract was for a certain length and thus it was no longer at will, or potentially a promissory estoppel claim due to quitting your... Read more »

There is no doubt that there is an shortage of attorneys and there will only continue to be some. Furthermore, due to COVID-19, trials are not moving fast enough, which leads to an increase in attorney workload. The best thing to do is to continue to search for an attorney to assist. Over the...

If you are a convicted felon Oregon law does not allow you to file a Small Estate Affidavit. I recommend that you have someone else file it. Possible options are someone who is named as the alternate Personal Representative, an intestate heir (immediate family to the decedent) or a creditor... Read more »

Yes. What it is depends upon the nature of the civil suit or perhaps what claims are elected to be made - i.e. some events may give rise to more than one way of claiming damages and each may have a different statute of limitations.

You should very carefully review things with a local tort attorney. Fraud is often difficult to prove; you normally must prove specific damages, and the standard of proof is higher than for most other civil lawsuits (Clear and Convincing as opposed to just a preponderance). Often there may be... Read more »
