They recently lost financing from the government. Did not receive proper training or promised education. Did not receive job placement. Just want to know if CIS can be held accountable for the repayment of the government student loan for failure to follow through on their end of a contract.

If your educational institution obligated itself to give proper training and deliver job placement, but did neither, then yes, you have a case. Of course, it is highly unlikely that the educational institution would put such obligations in writing. It is far more likely that you would have to... View More

In general, warranties can also be purchased - in fairness the dissolving company should purchase such... View More

There are a number of parts to your question but the short answer is that your girlfriend is entitled to seek the Order of Protection, and receiving such an order is a valid reason to be absent from the property and, presumably, not have to pay rent for a period of time, but that is not the same as...

There is no way to guarantee you will not be sued. Not to mention, if you were negligent, you should be sued. Just make sure to have your own insurance as well.

What you should do is sit down with a local attorney who handles media law and has experience with publishing. That way they can cover all of your basis. An ounce of prevention saves a pound of flesh (or something like that).

There is no question here. What type of acceptance are you talking about?
In TX many suits must be brought within 2 years after the dispute arose, others must be brought within 4 years. My question is when does the dispute date actually start.

The application of statutes of limitation can be tricky. In some cases, it's when the party knew or should have known about the problem, and, even then, in certain situations there are absolute cutoffs no matter what. Best to talk to a local lawyer about your specific situation.... View More

The owner of the gym, owns other gyms and will not return my calls or emails.
answered on Jul 31, 2015
The police do not handle civil matters. If the gym has declined to refund your money you might need to file a law suit against them. However, sometimes a letter from an attorney can be enough for them to refund your money. Feel free to call for a free consultation.
I hired a small company did a $5000 granite countertops job more than 6 months ago. One piece came out in wrong size. While the company keeps on saying they will replace the piece, but nothing has happened and I doubt anything will ever happen after hearing countless excuses. What options do I have?
answered on Dec 31, 2013
You should give them the opportunity to make it good. If they cannot, then you can bring a suit for breach of contract.
answered on Dec 31, 2013
You could deed in back to them if they are willing to accept a deed in lieu. Usually, timeshare companies are willing to do so.
answered on Nov 9, 2013
you can try talking to the general contractor about your pay or you can possibly file a mechanics lien.

It sounds like you would have a cause of action if they did so. I suggest that you contact a local attorney for the purpose of sending a letter setting forth your position and requestng compensation for your time and work product.

First you'll need to figure out how you want to run the business, what sort of activities and industries are involved in the business endeavor, and whether the investment is in cash, labor, or assets. Business licensing and tax issues may influence the contours of the enterprise.

The answer depends on the provisions of the agreement. Assuming that the contract is legal and you have done everything required of you, the chances are that you can sue.
