The agent told me the total and arranged the delivery who guaranteed that it would be delivered to the clinic in Peru. A wire transfer was made to their bank in Hong Kong (HSBC) from J.p....

There are a few issues here that are going to have a bearing on the answer.
First and foremost, did you have a written contract (even emails back and forth confirming terms) or was this all oral communications? If you have a written contract, those terms would control. Was your contract... Read more »

My middle name is Marshall and I want to use it for my clothing brand “Marshall Clothing”

Generally speaking, before using a trademark you must ensure that the mark is not confusing with another mark that is currently being used in the... Read more »
Would they have to serve me here in Germany to proceed, and would I have to go to the States to respond? I have a U.S. business mailing address but am a legal resident of Germany.
The second part of the question is that through my research their 'client' might not actually own the... Read more »
This can be complicated.
In theory they can serve you and you should answer the lawsuit.
You could claim no jurisdiction if you live and work and the infringement happened as result of your actions in Germany.

on his personal account which looks like laundering money thing. What is the international law that forbids me to proceed in the repayment of the french corporation into the owner's personal account? Thanks in advance for your prompt answer.
I can think of no "international law" that prohibits you from refunding as directed; however, state and federal statutes against money laundering might well be triggered if this is this person's "modus operandi". Has he requested this method more than once? A pattern is... Read more »
Where is the artist?
You ask a question that needs more detail.
Are you going to pay hourly? piece work? project work? or whatever.
Where does he work? Do you provide the supplies.
Go see an immigration lawyer and an employment lawyer.
Good Luck

lets start with the above question please; it is for a friend living in Kissimmee
Trustee could be a broad term, depending on context, whether it involves a position's role in a corporation, role overseeing property, or other. If you believe it is in the sense of dealing with an estate, which is a more commonly arising context when it comes to individuals, you could start... Read more »
Without mine or photographer’s knowledge, images have been used for commercial purposes of selling items on amazon. What Kind of action should I take?
If you are a non-celebrity, you have a right of privacy. (If a celebrity, then you have a right of publicity.) It would be best to work with an attorney familiar with these kinds of actions. Keep in mind that if Amazon is merely the service provider, it would not be liable, unless it knows of the... Read more »

You have a lot of questions that need to be answered and you need to seek the advice of an immigration lawyer.

I ordered a scooter on eBay from China for $25.99. I also ordered a charger which was $5.82 and a ring which was around $5 (they were all separate orders). I did my research and I found that it is most likely that I will not have to pay customs duty. However, in case I am wrong, I would like to... Read more »
The delivery service will collect customs duty from you if it is due. The Delivery Service will probably be the United States Postal Service
Is this true Apollo 14?
Not a legal question is it?
I was wondering if this would be a good place to start asking questions and if not, is there another chat forum that I could utilize to get a better understanding about this particular career field?
The reason this free legal advice forum was created is to allow people who have legitimate legal questions to ask the Justia panel of experienced lawyers, who decide whether or not to answer.
So it seems safe to say that curious college students who want to "chat" with... Read more »

Thank you for your follow up to my comment about your game's development. By the way, if you are thinking of using the name of the game as a trademark, you will want to be sure there are no prior takers.

My late spouse was from another country and owned property there. I allowed my brother in law to be my P.O.A., to handle that business as I could not go to said country. I haven't heard anything from anyone in 2 years. I am in West Virginia and my in laws are in Texas.
Of all the categories you chose, maybe the best one to start with could be to contact an estate planning/probate attorney. They could probably assess what kind of investigative/legal resources are needed. You could look up such attorneys here (Find-a-Lawyer, above), or through your own independent... Read more »
I am really confused because from what I understand I do have to become a citizen first to fix my husband papers but my dad is also a resident and he fixed me, my mom, my 2 sisters, and my 2 brothers papers.
This doesn't sound like an international law matter. It isn't fully clear what you mean by fixing your husband's papers, but it sounds like this could be something dealing with immigration forms. If that's what you mean by "husband's papers," you could repost your... Read more »
