Yes, that sounds like copyright infringement. Statutory damages for copyright infringement range from $750-$150,000 if the work was registered with the U.S. Copyright Office before infringement or within three months of the creation of the work.

Yes. It is public record that you have filed. Anyone with a pacer account or who wants to go to the courthouse can view not only the fact that you filed but your schedules as well. Bankruptcy filings are not typically reported in your local paper (you can check and see) unless you are famous or... View More

Local law enforcement can choose to work with ICE, but they can also choose not to. States and municipalities do not have any obligation to enforce federal laws, including immigration enforcement. It will depend on your local law enforcement's policy.

Basically, if I wish to just walk away from the company if my partner dies, can the widow come after me for any $$$ outside of the LLC if I am willing to let her have the whole company? Thanks!

That depends entirely on the terms of your LLC "operating agreement," but those corporate formation documents (and LLC laws generally) typically shield members and owners of an LLC from all personal liability.
Is that grounds for a claim against the store?

Possibly if it had a defective closing damper or maladjusted one. Contact a member of the Idaho Trial Lawyers Assn--they give fee consults.
My fiancé and I recently purchased a table from Ashley's Furniture under the impression we were "buying" it and making payments to pay it off. Well after 90 days we found out we were going to be charged $1500 for the initial $500 table. We told them that we were NEVER informed that... View More

You can file a small claims action in Idaho for up to $5,000 without an attorney. Based on the facts you allege, your claims would be for breach of contract and misrepresentation/fraud. It would be important to allege that the 90-day price point increase was not set forth in the rental contract and... View More

When will this take place, and who is the U.S. company contracting you? How big is the core team? Two weeks is a very short time, so you might just look at a way to use the ESTA program. For something bullet-proof, you might want to do P visas if we can classify your core group as an... View More
I recently moved about 2000 miles for job. The new employer reimbursed me about $1900 for the total moving expenses. However, only $950 was shown as moving expenses reimbursed on my paycheck and W2. Now, on that particular pay period they taxed much more because $950 was added to my income. So, now... View More
answered on Feb 15, 2017
This question gets a little tricky and depends on an employer's policies. To figure out whether reimbursed moving expenses were taxable in the first place, you're going to need to refer to IRS publication 521. If an employer repaid an employee according to what's called an... View More

Assuming you follow all of the notice to quit and related procedures, you probably can--but check with a local attorney to see if that's the law in your state and county.
I was assaulted and the restitution that was ordered was not paid to me . I am unable to work because of what happened and I want to know if I can sue him. It's been three years .
answered on Feb 2, 2017
Tell the DA about the nonpayment of resitution. They have a strong lever. I believe you cannot sue him, as I believe the statute of limitations is two years if you were an adult when it happened. But I'd suggest you contact a member of the Idaho Trial Lawyers Assn--they give free consults.... View More

Check the lease. If keeping sidewalks clear is on you then yes, they can. Maybe arrange with a local kid to do it if it is.
We keep our parking / walking areas clear and de-iced but the main driveways into the park are an icy mess. If someone slides off, who is responsible? I'd think the park but can find no published law on the subject.

Look at your lease--in most cases they are the duty of the mobile home park. Problem is there are virtually no rules or enforcement regulations when they don't maintain common areas.

Certainly not for anything that is new. Even if you had no injury they'd look for a "pre-existing" injury! Contact a member of the Idaho Trial Lawyers Assn--they give free consults.
