A Kansas attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for four weeks. It sounds like you're making a case for something along the lines of misrepresentation. But in these settings, the other side could argue that there was a misunderstanding as to what was said, or what was... View More

A Kansas attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. But it would be difficult for any attorney to offer meaningful guidance here. The answer to your question could depend on your insurance carrier, your policy or plan, terms of the PHP facility, and other possible... View More

As a general rule, yes, the insurance company for the car will cover the negligent acts of the driver (even if that driver is uninsured otherwise). The only exception might be if the vehicle was taken without permission, or if the driver was known to be such a poor driver that the owner should have... View More
I earned a degree from my local university. I have not been able to get a job in my field and now after applying for 100+ jobs on their website over the last 15 years, their application portal will mysteriously not let me apply for anymore and nobody can figure out why. Can I sue them for... View More

You’re going to need some in depth research and data to prove that the degree is worthless or that the university is blocking your efforts to find a job. May be a tough row to hoe.

Note: I'm a business attorney, not a trademark attorney. Here is generally what I tell people starting up a new business or entering into a new line of business that involves trademarks.

If you miss one or more full work days, your employer can deduct this time from your pay as a salaried employee. However, your employer cannot deduct less than one full day from your pay, meaning if you work any part of a workday, you must be paid for the full day.
I have been made an offer on my home, enough to pay off the mortgage and other BK expenses.

To sell your primary asset, you will need to amend your Plan. Post-confirmation modifications are permitted, but proposed modified plans are subject to objections to discharge. The Trustee may object, but that would depend upon the details of your modified plan. If the Trustee, or any creditor,... View More
The officer never addressed the initial reason for the traffic stop. I believe he was on a "fishing expedition "and went beyond the scope of the initial reason for the stop. He questioned me in his car until I felt I had no choice, but to consent because of the things that were said. He... View More

You should immediately hire a criminal defense attorney licensed in the State of Missouri to investigate your search and seizure issues as well as build your defense to the criminal charges. Good luck.

Your post does not ask the question you are seeking an answer----my suggestion is that you contact an accident/injury lawyer and meet with him to discuss your questions. Most accident/injury lawyers do not charge for an initial consult---I am know my firm does not----so take them up on it and meet... View More

I am sorry to have to tell you that the daughters are probably right. A will in Kansas (as in most other states) requires two witnesses to valid, and it sounds like this will had no witnesses or at most maybe one, and even that is a stretch. This is a perfect illustration for why one should... View More

Has anyone determined who the actual Heirs-At-Law are? You probably need a competent KS attorney to determine who the present Tenants In Common are, then proceed with a Deed with a complete Derivation Of Title Clause in it, and maybe more.

That seems unwise, but it depends upon your situation and relationship.
If you get married, then you will 'significantly delay processing' and be separated even longer. It is best for your fiance to come into the U.S. as a K1 fiance, so that you can both get to know each other... View More

Call the health department and report the situation. They might have the clout to force a clean up.
Be careful what you ask for, though. Can your daughter afford the cost of clean up? Maybe she would be better off selling to someone who can afford clean up and move to a better... View More
within how many days should I file a claim against city or whatever agent designed or built the road?
answered on Apr 5, 2022
A Kansas attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. Technically, it's possible you could, if you could prove to a jury or judge that a road is poorly designed and that you sustained injuries as a result of that poor design. That could be more difficult than it... View More
My Mom has a trust, if she ends up having a stroke and has to go to long term care, she is telling me that the facility can get the funds from the trust, if I'm understanding her correctly. Is this true?

It is not possible for any attorney in this forum to answer your question without reviewing the trust and how your mother's assets are titled.

I was not speeding, it was my first time driving in that area so I got really confused at the intersection. should I get a lawyer?
answered on Mar 23, 2022
A Kansas attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. If you haven't already done so at this point, you could reach out to local attorneys to discuss the citation. In terms of potential claims from other vehicles, your insurance company should assign an attorney... View More

It sounds like your attorney is doing his job. Either plead guilty or start preparing for Trial, and a possible appeal. It does not appear that further Discovery will help any more than what you already know.

If there is a will, it must be filed with the court within six months of the date of death; if there is no need to probate the will, the will may be filed with... View More
