I was literally forced to give away my Bella, I am disabled and I have had my little girl for 8 years, she became my emotional support dog, I lost a child in 2003 Bella helped me with that loss, she got sick and I took her to an animal hospital, the vet told me she needed an operation that was...

Makes no sense, and sounds like you've been defrauded. Are you saying that giving her to the shelter gets the dog FREE surgery, then the dog belongs to someone else?? - but for you, it would cost $5K?? Also, euthanizing, at most clinics, costs WAY LESS than $500. First, run back to the... Read more »
My situation is that I am trying to remove my brother and his girlfriend from my home. There is no lease. I am not seeking money from them. I just want them gone. I served them a certified notice to quit allowing over the 15 days to evict. That was on the 9th of October. They were suppose to be out... Read more »
Read Fla. Statutes Chapters 82 and 83 (which are on-line) in their entireties. If you are still unclear on it after that, it's best to schedule a consultation.

While the recording of the call might be considered illegal if in violation of the consent laws, it's use as evidence probably would not be excluded unless it was done by the government.
As far as legal help, no. The medical provider is legally entitled to protect its staff and other patients from potential Covid carriers, which is most of the population. Also, even when there's no Covid, the first thing done by medical staff is to take your temperature and other vitals,... Read more »
Brief description of your legal issue:
White Springs Florida at the Department of Agriculture. I was a truck driver that was searched with no probable cause and wrongfully incarcerated... My charges were trafficking what was claimed to be MDMA, cannabis oil and 3 counts of paraphernalia. I... Read more »
Sorry to hear about your ordeal. You have a few potential claims against various parties to be evaluated, and you should search for attorneys handling civil rights cases who take North Fla. cases and are admitted to practice in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida. (I... Read more »
In the past, I have have officers stop me while walking down the sidewalk late at night and demand that I present ID to validate my age. I've always complied because it caught me off gaurd, and I wasn't confident enough with the law to assert myself.
In my state, police can only... Read more »
If there is a curfew in your area, stopping people who, like you, appear to be under age is the only practical enforcement mechanism I can think of. Stores that sell alcohol are required to card people who appear to be under-age; same idea.
I have asked the county for a copy of the video footage from the school bus over a "mask" issue when my daughter was adjusting her mask and was given a "disciplinary letter". My daughter was called a liar when I asked the driver about the situation. One thing my daughter... Read more »
I don't see any reason, legally, that would prohibit you from doing so.
I was 18 yrs old I was involved with human trafficking case in Chicago I was picked up in Miami fL charged with misdemeanor of prostitution although the judge knew I didn’t live there he still issued a warrant but I live in Chicago so they won’t expedite me for misdemeanor but I can’t get a...

Confront the charges, hire a lawyer...or continue to face the consequences for failing to appear in court.
living with a Mexican without documents or citizen, she is 19 yrs
It doesn't matter where she was born, and the nationality of the person with whom she is living doesn't matter either. If she is under the age of 18 she is considered a minor in Florida.
"Belongs to them but isn't in their name" makes no legal sense. As far as the law is concerned, the property "belongs" to the person who has record title to the property. In any event, the issue for a search warrant is whether the description of the property to be... Read more »

Does anyone know whats considered a secondary traffic offence in FL. I think texting while driving is. Are there any others. I keep finding conflicting information.
Thanks
In Florida, violations of mandatory seat belt laws are subject to "primary enforcement". To my knowledge, there is no "secondary enforcement" in Florida for any violation of the traffic laws. See... Read more »
AAA towed my vehicle to a Ford dealership to have the mechanic fix it three weeks later my car is missing and no one can provide me any information on the whereabouts of my vehicle what can I do?
You can file suit against the shop for the value of the vehicle.
Was stopped for dark tint which is only a secondary offence in FL. So im unlawfully stopped, then the officer demanded i roll my back window down so he could visually look inside the vehicle. He didnt have a warrant or cause to visually search. I feel this was harrasement and my rights were... Read more »
Since I haven't ever gotten this question before, I was curious about it and looked up the Fla. Statutes on car window tinting, Sections 361.2951 to 361.2956. There is nothing there indicating that unlawful tinting is a secondary offense (meaning an offense that can be ticketed only upon a... Read more »
The title owner of the house passed - her sister (who was NOT put on the title) lived there for 10+ yrs. is now staying with me. She got served yesterday at my apartment. She just walked away from the house that is now foreclosed. She hasn’t a job and is collecting SS & food stamps. What do... Read more »
The sister needs to consult with an attorney rather than you providing her legal advice you obtained online and could be misunderstood. There are options available, especially if the house has equity. The sister should consult with an attorney experienced in probate and mortgage foreclosure... Read more »
Do we need to make a disclaimer for both outgoing and incoming calls? or let the person know they're on a recorded line during outgoing phone calls? or both? If so, Is there a specific disclaimer that is best for legality purposes?
Wow. I am surprised you had to ask this question in August 2020, what with all the calls being made to and from all kinds of banks, credit card companies, insurance companies, police departments and government agencies and many other entities that routinely tell people that the call is being...

I’m a high school student in Florida. My teachers are saying that theyre going to require webcams and record us because of online learning. As someone who values their privacy, this is very concerning to me. Is this legal?
While it's generally not legal in Fla. to audio-record someone without their consent, I imagine that the school has made your consent (or your parents' consent on your behalf) a condition of attending the school.
Me and my emotional support animal has been deined housing. i have emails to show they asked me to fill out pet forms and then deined me after I would not fill them out. When someone has an emotional support animal or a service dog by law no one can make u fill out a pet form. Why because service... Read more »
One of your first mistakes was refusing to fill out the pet form. I don't know what questions were on that form, but I believe you were probably incorrectly claiming that it was against the law for them to ask you to fill it out. If you claim that the animal is an "emotional support... Read more »
She took a loan out from a high interest loan company. She refuses to give me any details. The loan payback is now up to &10,000. She also put her car up as collateral. They have taken advantage of her disability. We live in Florida. What are the ADA laws against this?
The ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) has nothing to do with your wife's apparent mental condition. Nor am I aware of any other federal or state law that could help you stop your wife's uncontrollable behavior.

Yes, the judge can talk to the jury without wearing the robe. The robe is just cosmetic.
