My manager wrote a counseling statement on me shortly after I accused him of singling me out due to my age.
Both federal and state law prohibit an employer from retaliating against an employee for objecting to unlawful age discrimination. There a number of factual issues that would need to be addressed before anyone could provide "advice" on this matter.
I am paralyzed, I have MS
I am indigent, as the judge said, Ms Ford makes nine times as much as I do, and she can afford private counsel.
I have advocated my position on previous counsels failure to file the mandatory disclosure upon filing in accordance with the rules for months.... Read more »
Hi, it is not clear what your question is. However, you may want to see if you can obtain the assistance of an attorney from a local Legal Aid society in your county. Alternatively, contact your local bar association to see if there are any pro bono attorneys. Additionally, your local courthouse... Read more »
I own a commercial diving business that does underwater hull cleaning and yacht maintenance. I had a customer bring his boat to the marina where I am currently staying on my own boat. After I took care of his boat he didn't show up to pay me or get his boat at the time we agreed. Rather than... Read more »
Only a Florida attorney could advise you on your specific question. But you posted under Admiralty/Maritime Law, and under U.S. maritime law, a remedy that is sometimes applied in settings where vessel interests owe money is a maritime lien. This comes up in ship mortgages, vessel collisions, crew... Read more »
If you don’t have a valid identification card what rights do you have as a inmate and a non inmate
I can answer your first question, but your second question makes no sense. If you "beat" a criminal charge due to acquittal, dismissal by the Court, or the prosecution dropping the charge, and without a plea bargain, you may have potential claims for money damages for false arrest/false...

My step dad does not like my mom's family and he refuses to let my mom do what she wants with her half of the profit from selling their home..what's her legal rights to her half of the profit.
Is they are divorcing then she would likely get half the proceeds. If there is not a divorce then the proceeds will be wired to a joint account or an account the parties designate. Thereafter, there would be no rules on how the money is spent because the courts are not involved. Your mother would... Read more »
I see many 843.03 arrests and read the reports, while few seem to meet the general definition, most by far do not meet the definitions found for either word, so what is and where is it written the FL legal definition of loiter and prowl, surely this is not a statute of undefined words intended to... Read more »
You have referred to the wrong statute. Florida Statute 856.021 Loitering or prowling; penalty.—reads as follows:
"1) It is unlawful for any person to loiter or prowl in a place, at a time or in a manner not usual for law-abiding individuals, under circumstances that warrant a... Read more »
A loved one received a withheld judgement for a misdemeanor for something that they didn't do. The accusing party filed a lawsuit the same day of the hearing.

You typically must file your motion to vacate on newly discovered evidence within two years of the termination of the original case. Contact a lawyer ASAP...
Police have been called for the past year along with code enforcement. They have been fined, have attracted 2 documented gunfire incidents. Loud noise from their bass, public fights after club closes. Police have done nothing to shut them down. I no longer have peace, I have lost my job because I... Read more »
You might be able to sue them civilly to abate the public nuisance.
The ACLU takes a very limited number of police misconduct cases, without charging the client. Otherwise, seek a consultation with any attorney handling police misconduct cases. Depending on the facts, you might have the type of case that an attorney can handle on a contingency fee basis (meaning... Read more »
There are some constitutional rights that are forfeited upon a felony conviction: voting and firearm possession come to mind as the rights most often of concern.

She’s being nasty and wants the car back. I moved too Florida with family and I don’t have a way to get back down here if I go up there and the car is titled and registered too her and she just won’t come and get her car so if I hypothetically got towed for parking could it or she come after... Read more »
Sounds like you trusted the wrong person. The car is legally hers. If it was purchased in North Carolina, and you then drove it to Fla., you are at risk of her reporting it stolen, and you getting arrested for theft. You should immediately confirm with her, IN WRITING, the "deal" you... Read more »
I have received violations for cars being parked on the side of the road and not in a drive way. Cars that’s aren’t mine. I keep receiving violations for things my neighbors do and when my lease renewal was up, the HOA tried to deny me and my children to continue to live there do to “too many... Read more »
The HOA rules either allow cameras, or they don't - or say nothing at all about cameras. Get a copy of the rules and regs, as well as their by-laws. If they allow cameras, or say nothing at all about cameras, why would you ask permission? If they don't allow cameras, you legally... Read more »

Sorry, your bank did nothing wrong here.
Your "right" to spend your money in the manner that you want to does NOT change the bank's right to grab any of your money flowing into the bank or into any of your accounts at the bank.

for 3 years upon release if I was to commit a crime that is on Florida's prr act in South Carolina within 3 years could South Carolina use Florida's prr act to sentence me to more time
Well, if you have not done so already, do NOT commit any new crimes. That said, Florida's PRR statute will not cause you to serve more time in South Carolina for a crime committed in South Carolina. However, South Carolina may have a statute that will enhance a crime committed there based on... Read more »

A sports league such as this is for entertainment of the players and their parents. Courts will not intervene in decisions such as this on the part of coaches and other volunteers. If you don't like it, find another team or league for your son to play with.
Got pulled was searched me and my ole man hunt old bottles well we found one old and it was an old medicine bottle. They found it went to there truck out of sight from us and field tested it.

First thing, hire a competent criminal defense lawyer. You have some legitimate issues to examine...more directly to your question: the testing of the bottle does not have to be done in your presence.
Florida Statute 40.013 (1) provides as follows:
"No person who ... has been convicted in this state, ... or any other state,... of ... any ... offense ... which if it had been committed in this state would be a felony, unless restored to civil rights, shall be qualified to serve as a... Read more »
A Florida attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. If you are talking about violations in terms of false and harmful things written about you, that falls under defamation law. There is a category for that here under Libel & Slander. Good luck

What can she do to try and recover them? They know who did but dont know what she did with them. They maybe on some property the person owns but how would you go about legally checking the premises for them? They have asked around and none of the animal rescues or animal control have seen them and... Read more »
Not sure if you're getting the whole story. When the police say it's only a civil matter, it's usually because there's an ownership dispute between the person missing the property and the person who took the property. Another possibility, I suppose, is the other person just... Read more »
