i could represent myself( facts very straightforward) but need a lawyer because this is an llc. how do i proceed? my company has no assets.
You do need and attorney because if it is a single member llc and you have no assets in the llc and you lose they will go after your personally by attempting to pierce the corp. veil in their filings and which is very common in such an action. You need to seek out a business/civil litigation... Read more »
My SUV wouldn't start. I hired a local mechanic who works for a company based in California. Because I had to turn the ignition key and wiggle it to start the SUV, I suggested that may be the problem. He replaced the ignition switch (claimed he had to put in a new housing, too). He said my problem... Read more »
You may have a claim against the mechanic--but probably not against the California company. The company will say the mechanic is an independent contractor and is liable for his own mistakes. I suggest you call the Clerk of County Court in your county and ask for copies of the forms used for cases... Read more »
A national bank from an account in Tn in 2010 claimed Breach of Contract from overdraft/late fees on an account that was thought closed. In 2012, the bank sold the debt to a collections agency. Now, a (different) collections agency is attempting to collect on the debt plus huge amounts of interest... Read more »
Either two, three or four years. So if I were you I would work within the two year possibility.
Can one party just show up and take the vehicle with out the others permission as they both have rights to the vehicle or is there always a primary and secondary owner? ALSO is there a way to remove one party from the title before the loan is paid off? Like gifting your portion an do a title... Read more »
If the two names on the title and connected with the word "and" it requires BOTH owners to do anything with the car. That does NOT mean that one of the owners cannot sneak in during the night and take the car; however, to do so would be an unlawful act--perhaps even a criminal act under certain... Read more »
and or have no payment made to them just to me and any other trades involved
No, of course you can't do that.
My husband and his brother worked independently for some time. His brother opened a company and my husband kept working with him, never did he sign a w2 or an employment contract. We decided to open our own business and when they asked for my husband to sign a w2, my husband told him he would not... Read more »
It is not as white and black as you wish. I think you should hire an attorney to get your strategy ready and respond.
We are ready to purchase, I am retired, been married 24 years, 13 year age difference. He applied for the loan without me being on the loan. My name is on the contract however. I am worried because we will be using joint money for the down payment.
The loan is different issue from the title. It doesn't matter who pays or who signs, the names on the title are the evidence of the title.
I was let go due to downsizing at charter school, Polk county.
The actual language and specific terms of the written employment contract will control this question. Generally, unless the employment contract is different than many others I have seen, the "at will" clause will over-ride the part about the salary and the number of months. At best I could argue...

Are you being sued by someone? It seems a party has filed notice to withdraw the complaint and changed their minds thereafter.
Also, the client owns the land already where the home was to be constructed.
Without spending any time reviewing the statute mentioned here I will point out the obvious: If the deposit is "non-refundable" then it is probably NOT covered under the statute cited.
Having said that I feel that I would be remiss in not presenting this free practical advice--offered for... Read more »
Can the illegal work by the home owner be removed by the contractor of record as he refuses to resolve the issue?
The question about whether the contractor should or should not have to remove the property owners "illegal work" is not a legal question. If the permitting agency will not approve the job as it is then the property owner will have to do whatever it takes to fix the objections. And unless the... Read more »
I informed my complex I was planning to move out and submitted a sublease form since they did not give me the option to break the lease. After a week they left me a voicemail saying they found someone to sublease and asked if I can move out and submit my keys in the next couple of days so they can... Read more »
You may be stuck--because unless the agreement was in writing the landlord does not have to abide by it.
What can be done? It's in Florida.
What does the deputy say? How does he or she know that the woman is at home?
Assuming you are the plaintiff, get the sheriff to file a return of service explaining in detail what occurred. Then, when it's time, ask for a judicial default.
No, it is not. But why is this question in Landord-Tenant session?
This is not a legal question. There is no rule or statute that requires auto dealers to provide copies of signed lease documents to the person(s) who are leasing the car within any specified time frame.
If you break the terms of service of Apple or Google Play Store, and it specifically states in the terms of service,
"If you break any term of this agreement, your right under this license automatically terminates without notice to you",
does that mean that you can never use your... Read more »
This is not a legal question. Moreover, while lawyers are very intelligent and highly trained professionals--we are not soothsayers; nor do we do crystal balls. Therefore, I am constrained by a fundamental law of the universe (no one can foretell the future) and unable to opine on your current... Read more »
For the down payment. We have been paying him back one hundred a month. He says we can't make him leave because of the money and because he lives here and receives mail here. What can we do?
This is not a legal question. This is a (very sad) personal dilemma created by you and your grown son. Unless the oral contract between you and your son is in writing it is no enforceable--by you or your son. Thus I am unaware of any legal remedy you could use lawfully to evict your son. At best...

The landlady returned my deposit and wants to break the lease.
It depends on the terms of your current lease agreement. Generally if you have a valid lease agreement (more than a month to month lease) the seller of a property will assign the lease agreement rights to the new owner and the new owner will take the place as your landlord.
Realistically speaking, if you cancel, they won't probably go after you because it is not worthy the time, most likely.
