I took pictures with my local senior photography company because I was not able to attend the school picture day due to work. I digitally signed a contract at the studio when I went in person, however, I don't recall reading the part where it asked specifically for a parent/guardian to sign. I was... Read more »
Can't hurt to send them a letter stating the signatory was under age and the contract is void. They still have a claim under quantam merit (Google it) for services rendered but if you never requested the packet you have a solid defense there as well. Then you can file a complaint with the state... Read more »

The manager of our company used our company's money to buy houses, use his private name for contract and HUD, than contribute these houses to the company in the same day. Looks very uncomfortable. Is that break the law?
It depends. An attorney would have look at the details here. At first blush, I though that the transaction you were describing was criminal. After reading that the manager contributed the houses back to the company, the transaction seems less sinister. As far as hud goes, that is another... Read more »

For the company yes, unless you're a GA licensed attorney you cannot defend the company. In certain circumstances the Court can waive that requirement. I would call the Clerk and ask.

I signed a non compete. That only says, I will not compete with the guy in the state of GA for 2 years. It does not say what the competitive services are.

Company applied for a conditional use permit to build and operate a disposal facility. Would I be considered a lobbyist if I designed graphic materials for the company?
A Georgia attorney could provide the most reliable authority in terms of how lobbying might be defined by the laws of Georgia. But your question remains open for four weeks. As a general matter, I don't think a reasonable person would see what you're doing here as an artist as lobbying. Lobbying is... Read more »
