I want to protest a business and just want to make sure I can inform the potential clients about the business’ practices.
I just want to make sure I don’t commit decimation or libel.
Will they be able to pursue me for either if what I am telling people is based in fact?

In the US we have freedom of speech. That being said, that freedom is limited to an extent. If you publish false statements damaging the business's... Read more »
I was initially evicted, but worked with another lawyer to get the eviction removed. I still had to leave my apartment with only a days notice and have since been homeless. I would like to sue them, but I am having difficulty finding what type of lawyer I need to find to help me.

first of all, go see a good bankruptcy/financial distress lawyer. It sounds to me like the statute of limitation might have run. If that is the case, then you have an action against the law firm.
That aside, bankruptcy could be your solution, but only a good local lawyer can give you that... Read more »

answered on Jun 9, 2021
Depending on where the dog came from, it is very likely a PACFA violation. Age could also be a problem (a dog sold too young (i.e., less than 8 weeks old) to receive certain shots is a violation - although dogs do not have all their shots at 8 weeks due to boosters being necessary over a period of...
