Go see them and negotiate a change in your lease to upgrade your apartment or get a reduction. If they won't do it, sue in small claims for the difference over the term of the lease or see a local Tenant's rights attorney.

a life together upon his release. When he got out he ghosted me. Do I have any legal grounds to stand on?

Sorry to hear about your experience. It's not quite clear what legal grounds you want to stand on. If you mean the debt... If you acquired the debt on your credit cards or loans in your name only then you are responsible. Did you get his promise to repay or share in writing? If so you could... Read more »

She is pregnant and worth 3500$ we need a lawyer ASAP!!! FYI I called the police they did nada and said it’s a civil matter!

Call the police and report a burglary/theft. That's a lot faster than a lawsuit.

you need to contact a consumer protection attorney that has experience with debt collections and credit reporting issues. after a substantive consultation and review of the documents, the attorney may be able to answer your question.
Hello. Thank you for reviewing my question. I am under contract (Services Agreement) that pays a fixed amount per month (regardless of the number of working days). The contract is terminating mid-month and the contract provider is requesting that I submit a final invoice for only the working days.... Read more »

First, we would need to review the written agreement ... then to read your current relevant facts ... then schedule a free initial video call discussion on your options and remedies ... let us know your thoughts ... thank you.
Me as a Dreamer, just wanted to make sure.

As long as you are over the age of 18, you can invest in stocks, bonds, and all other negotiable instruments.

First ... we would need to review the terms and conditions of the partnership contract ... along with a review of the relevant facts ... I would suggest that you take advantage of a "free initial consultation" with at least two attorneys of your choice... and then we can proceed from there.
Or they can pay the total cost of the inspection fee no later than on the day of the inspection. Otherwise no report will be delivered to the client. To many times, clients don’t want to pay or want to cancel the inspection without giving ANY Notice, so if they pay a deposit they are less likely... Read more »

Yes. That is legal, and completely reasonable. Just make sure you are completely transparent with your clients about your policy before you take their deposit to hold their inspection appointment, and under what conditions that deposit will or won’t be refunded. Good luck.
Gave jewelry as collateral- got a loan for $13000 = trying to buy back items from pawn broker who want $27942.26
Can they charge that much interest?
The paperwork states 45% charge annual is that loan sharking?

Yes it is, and probably they can. Pawnbrokers have the ability to charge massive interest rates under many state laws. I am not familiar with your state, but here in Florida it is confiscatory.
You only mention bankruptcy. Go see a good local bankruptcy lawyer (not one of those mills... Read more »
Agreed to let us out of the contract but is stating that they are keeping our $ in case we want to enter into another contract with them in the next 2 years. We want our deposit back less fees for meetings with the draftsman and designer. What do we do?

Given the short format of this question and answer board, it could be difficult for any attorney to offer you a meaningful answer to your question. You could reach out to attorneys to... Read more »

I traded my vehicle to a dealership on 2/15/21 and I received a call from them yesterday 2/25/21 asking me if I could put more money down or get a co-signer. What happens if they call me today saying they could get financing since it is no longer within the 10 days?

Since they called you on 2.25.21 asking for more money, you will have a hard time proving they did not "cancel" within 10 days since 2.25 was day 10. At this stage, the dealer can ask for the car back and give you back anything you paid/ traded in, or the dealer can choose to become the... Read more »

Companies can give a preferential rate if someone signs up with autopay. Are you being billed extra because you are not or did you just choose the non-autopay option?
Depending on the industry, file a complaint with whoever regulates that industry.

All real litigators know there is no such thing as a "dead bang winner" discovery motion. Generally, judges do not like these types of motions. The key to effective discovery is precise and clear drafting of the discovery, clear necessity for the particular discovery, and well-documented... Read more »
