Not sure by what you mean: "caught in the law in Indonesia" or who you may be referring to as "the team." Generally speaking, only counsel licensed in each state, country, or jurisdiction may practice law in that state, territory, or country, unless granted special admission by the particular court.

Usually you cannot be sued on a credit card debt that is older than ten years. Also, recipients of Social Security Disability are usually not subject to collection. If all you have is disability benefits, then the collection agency or law firm cannot take your money. If you explain that you are on... View More

Hi Richard,
Sorry to hear an ex-employee robbed you. Did you check your insurance policy of you are covered for employee dishonesty? Some policies have automatic coverage like $5K-$15K.How were the monies taken, by ACH/wire/check?
The insurance adjuster came out and wrote the damages. I just received a check, minus a $1000. deductible. How do I go about, legally, getting reimbursed for my $1000. deductible from my neighbor?
The property has always been in my name only & predates the marriage. My ex never lived there; her name was never on any of the paperwork. The divorce final judgment was 10/31/95. Our agreement clearly indicated the property was mine & she has no claim to it.

I've had the bike for 11 years and finally went to the DMV to see if I still had a lean on it... I did not have a lien and was issued a duplicate title.. can I sell it?
answered on Jul 15, 2017
If there is no lien against the title you would be able to sell the bike in my state, Tennessee. If Rhode Island is a title state also you should be OK with selling the bike. Hope it works out. Good luck!
Is that legal?

I just reread the second posting of the same question. You were tricked BUT you legitimately purchased ITUNES cards. That is a problem. Contact the Itunes seller and see if they might be able to reverse those charges and cancel the cards. It is possible you may have no recourse as you were duped... View More

I am not a mechanic but I suspect these two items may be related and suspect it is possible that they were unaware of the O2 sensor problem before the very expensive Catalytic converter was replaced.

It can be as short as 0 miles if there isn't one or if the vehicle is sold "as is" by a private party. If you did bargain for a warranty, read it. That will tell you exactly what you bargained for. If you are dealing with a car dealer who is refusing to honor their warranty, consider... View More
