No, unless your written lease agreement specifically provides that this is a reason you may terminate your lease early. That would be an extraordinarily uncommon provision.
This is why you never allow other people to enter your unit when you are not home. You should always remain... Read more »

Is it possible to pursue legal action on an attorney and judge for misconduct? The judge has already had disciplinary action With the board
answered on Aug 20, 2022
You can sue an attorney, yes. That is called malpractice.
Judges are exempt from suit because of how they ruled on your case. The best you can do is file a complaint with the Texas Judicial Board, but you need serious evidence. Merely ruling against you is insufficient. Your best way to... Read more »

Im currently being charged with a felony, i have not been convicted and have a clean record before this. I was told i can still own and possess the firearms i own but “probably” wouldnt get sold a gun. I wanna get other lawyers opinions because mine doesnt seem the know what he talks about
answered on Jul 20, 2022
While in a normal situation you can buy or possess a gun if you have not been convicted of a felony, you probably can not posses one now. The reason is that if you are presently only charged with a felony, I would bet that either the court or your bond obligations prevent you from possessing a... Read more »

Unfortunately, if the law allows for a jury trial in this situation, the Plaintiff has a right to request a jury trial and the Respondent (your friend) does not have the right to request no jury trial.

“During the glory days of radio, it was illegal to mimic the voice of the US president.” Was there actually a law prohibiting that? Or was just a White House policy and not a legal issue.
Was it law or policy?
answered on Jun 26, 2022
What you are referring to is the Policy of the Government. The 1st Amendment gives you the right to mimic anyone!
I rent a room from a lady whos son is troublesome. The police had a arrest warrant for him but he wasn't there and neither was I at the time. They were mad because no one answered the door so they took my dog off of his leash and took him.
answered on Jun 22, 2022
They took your dog and left or they simply moved your dog to a different location? To be honest, if they claimed to be afraid of the dog then they could probably get away with shooting your dog dead.

This is a sticky situation. If you live at the house, you can invite anyone to come see you. However, I would not expect them to "hang out" at the house. You would need them to only stay in your room. Thus, they can come pick you up, or visit you in private, but to do so is asking for... Read more »

Although you have the right to an attorney, you don't have the right to a GOOD attorney. You have to pay for that and it's really expensive.
