Moving your belongings into a storage unit without your permission is generally not legal, especially if you did not agree to pay for the storage. Since your brother moved your items and paid for the first month without your consent, you should not be automatically responsible for the subsequent... View More

An Idaho attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a month. You could try reposting and adding "Landlord-Tenant" as a category. Some questions here do go unanswered, but attorneys who handle L-T matters might have more insight into this than general civil attorneys... View More

An Idaho attorney should advise here, since your question involves procedural law in a specific jurisdiction's state court system. However, your question remains open for three weeks.

The recent ruling in United States v. Duarte has brought attention to federal gun laws and the constitutionality of certain restrictions. Since your rights have been restored on the federal level, you might believe this ruling would apply to your situation. However, states can still have their own... View More

Divorce and legal separation involve the division of marital assets, spousal support, and other related matters. If you're unable to afford a divorce, you may be eligible for assistance programs or legal aid services that can help you navigate the process. You may be entitled to a fair... View More
I am not a legal guardian, etc. just helping out. I've disabled her van to keep her from driving, but she says she is going to ride her wheelchair to town-multiple miles on a state highway. I am worried that if someone else is injured while she does something stupid like that, can I be held liable?

Based upon the facts as you have presented them, I do not see a basis for direct liability, or for what is known as "vicarious liability", such as if you had a child, he used your car with your permission, and injured someone. Thus, I believe that there is no legal responsibility on your... View More
I was pulled over on a highly bs traffic stop. So much so that my case is being dropped. The reason I was pulled over was because I was from oregon in idaho late at night.

The question, the ONLY question is . . . did the officer have a "reasonable suspicion" that the driver of the car (son) had done something that the officer could give him a citation for? If the answer to that question is "yeah, the cop said my son was speeding but he never even gave... View More

She owes you $100, period. She proposed what we call a "counter offer," i.e., you get the dog if you pay $100 + cost of rehoming etc. This "counteroffer" was NOT accepted by you. The only offer and acceptance of that offer, was your acceptance of her offer to sell the dog to... View More

You have the right to step in and be concerned. The problem with Powers of Attorney is that they are easily drawn and signed, by the weak and feeble. A much more stable, unalterable instrument to have when your loved ones need help, is a Guardianship / Conservatorship. Nobody is able to get a... View More
We spent several thousand dollars for equipment, gas, motel reservations, food, etc. over the summer to see these kids sit on the bench on an Allstar team that required tryouts. The coach also told fans where they could or couldn't sit and stand to watch the games. Because I had a run in with... View More

A "case" for what? Not playing your grandson? Nope. The coach has "discretion" to play anyone he wants. The "remedy" you have is social media and hope the "powers that be" don't hire him next season. Sorry there's not more you can do. It sucks, I know.
If a real estate deal falls through, can the realtors you have say things to people about you? I had a real estate deal fall through and the realtor is saying horrible things about me now to a big social network we are all part of.
answered on Mar 1, 2022
While this is not per se illegal, it is unwise. By disclosing information on social media, the RE officer can "defame" you; that is, if the RE agent discloses her "opinion" of you, that's not objectionable, except to you personally. Every human being is judged, based on... View More

Yes, it is unethical to communicate with a party who is represented by counsel. Representing yourself, you are held to the same standards of conduct as any other attorney would.

If the cop was a "citizen" and not a cop, the question would be the same: can someone tell a potential employer information, which later serves as grounds for the company to fire an employee for fault? The answer is: yes.

It's ALL in your contract. If they broke their contract with you, you can sue them for the reasonable value of your generator, less the money they gave you for pawn, plus the money you paid in monthly payments. Good luck to you!
P.S., sue them in Small Claims Court.
I paid the down payment and some of the car payments, the registration and repairs.

Nope. You were the first signer on the LOAN, right? Your name is or is not on the title? If your name IS on the title as a "co-owner," then you have as much right as he does to possess your car. However, how the car is titled is a big deal in Idaho. If you haven't paid the car... View More
