I left two comments on a now-abandoned blog hosted by Blogger when I was a minor. These comments, which show my full name, appear in Google search results and affect my personal and professional life. I have contacted Google and Blogger, but they require a court order to remove them, and attempts... View More

You may have more rights depending on where you live. If you live in California, the UK, or the European Union, you can request removal of your personal information. Additionally, even if you live elsewhere, if you were under 13 at the time then you may be able to get the content removed under... View More
I want to know if I can take legal action against a woman who accessed my personal photos from her 19-year-old son's phone without my consent. I had previously asked her son not to share these photos after he saved them. The woman has been harassing me and my family and is claiming she has... View More

It sounds like at the very least this woman has been harassing you and your family so I would start by reporting this woman to the police if you have not already. You should be able to file a police report without an attorney.
Additionally, even the threatened disclosure of intimate images... View More
I have been targeted for cyberbullying and organized harassment over the past three years. Specific individuals and groups have been identified, and I reported this to the Houston Police Department, IC3, and my previous apartment manager. The police issued a case number but said my case isn't... View More

You theoretically can sue those responsible if the cyberbullying, harassment, and stalking satisfy the elements of a cognizable legal theory of recovery.
These tend to be very difficult cases to prove. In addition to proving the bad acts and exactly who committed them, you should... View More

It is highly unlikely you will receive pro se assistance on an FHA case against a City or any government employees. The City itself, and any employees of the City sued in their official capacity or for actions taken in their official capacity, are most likely immune from a suit under the FHA.... View More
On November 16, 2023, I was pulled over in McMinnville, Warren County, Tennessee, allegedly because a 911 call claimed my white vehicle was running people off the road. However, the arrest warrant stated the reason was officers allegedly witnessing me cross the double yellow line. During the stop,... View More

It does not sound like an illegal stop. However you will need to hire a competent attorney to file a motion to suppress evidence due to potential illegality of the stop, detention, arrest and search. I would guess they were careful with you. Get a new phone and number, and work without... View More
I was terminated from my job in California for allegedly not following procedures. I've dealt with a disability at work for nearly five years, and my employer was aware of it. The building's elevator often broke, requiring me to use the stairs to leave from the 4th floor despite being... View More

Far more would need to be known about your situation before it can be determined that the employer acted unlawfully. For instance, was there a reasonable accommodation that would have allowed you to continue to perform all of the essential functions of your job without creating an undue hardship on... View More

Sorry to hear about this incident that is worrying you. First, you currently have a lawyer - your APD (Asst. Public Defender), with whom you should discuss these concerns.

I’m very sorry to hear about this terrifying and dangerous situation.

Best to hire a lawyer to respond to the letter you don't want to admit to anything but you also want to make it known that you will comply. A lawyer can offer you the proper shield to make sure this is done properly, it may be expensive, but it will be cheaper in the long run to hire a good lawyer.
Can my parents legally take my phone if I am 18 years old, even though I don't pay for it? I currently live with them, they are my legal guardians, and there are no specific house rules or agreements about phone use.
answered on Mar 15, 2025
Not sure if you are saying that your parents have been APPOINTED BY THE COURT to be your legal guardians while you are an adult, or instead are using that phrase loosely, with them not actually being appointed. If appointed by the Court, they likely have the right to control your possessions as if... View More
I filed for divorce, and it is currently pending in court. My husband, who has two indictments for domestic violence, initially took most of the household items with police assistance, leaving only the basic furniture. Later, I was informed by dispatch that he would return with two officers to... View More

No, police do not have the authority to allow your husband to take your firearms and personal property. They are only authorized to do a “civil standby” to prevent violence when your spouse is removing firearms and personal property he claims as his.
In your pending divorce case, you... View More

You need a education attorney who represents students. Often schools don't address bullying despite their legal obligations until a parent brings someone in.
They are mandated to address school bullying, but they have discretion on how they will do that.
It is unclear,... View More

It appears you are in the middle of a divorce and still living together.

No, your family cannot force you to use birth control devices. You are of age and so they can't require it. If they require you to move out, they can do so. You can demand that your grandmother return your phone to you.
What legal actions can I take if the homeowner's son has pointed a video camera into my bedroom window, and after asking him to move it, he pointed it back again the same night? I haven't contacted local authorities yet. What are my options?

As a caution, do not threaten to call the police as you do not want to be accused of extortion.
But, you can call the police. They may or may not investigate. But, keep in mind, solving the peeping issue may only lead to more problems if you contact the police. Instead, you may want to... View More
