Certainly, a lawyer would need to review the actual written agreement, but if it says, as you're indicating here, "I agree to care for the animals for this period of time, and if you don't come get them before that time ends, they are mine", then I think you are on solid legal... View More

This is a question of "apparent authority" on the part of the attorney, as an agent of the client. Under that doctrine, the contract might be enforceable. Whether it is enforceable will depend upon the specific facts. It is possible that it is enforceable. That does not, however,... View More

It depends what the HOA has actually done to enforce the new policy. It sounds to me like it would be grandfathered in until typical HOA policies, but perhaps not. Unfortunately, if the HOA is making a bigger deal out of this than they should it might take a costly lawsuit to get the matter... View More

Unless there is a guardianship proceeding or some other court mental health proceeding, it will be an uphill battle fighting this in court. People are presumed competent when entering contracts. And just having a mental health diagnosis does not necessarily make a person legally incompetent.... View More

Being a single member LLC wouldn't change whether or not the late fee can be assessed on the company. It sort of depends on the contract you signed requiring you to pay in the first place to determine whether or not the late fee was properly assessed.

The answer is 'maybe, and then again, maybe not.'

What are the agreed upon delivery terms? Was there to be a 'firm' delivery date? What happens under the terms of your agreement should one party not fulfill the obligations in the agreement?

Without reading the... View More

You can sue whomever you like. You're likely to be unsuccessful suing a state agency in this situation.

Look, however or why CPS got involved, it apparently has something to do with the two of you being together. To stave off a petition and possible termination of parental rights for... View More

Something sounds fishy here. Land contracts don't typically 'expire' -- they mature at some point and you get a deed when the payments are all made.

I STRONGLY urge you to consult with a licensed local attorney familiar with real estate law! SOMETHING doesn't ring true... View More

No. There are no facts tgat yiu have provided that would support the general contractor’s holding onto your equipment. I would want to know more about the situation in order to evaluate the possibility that the general contractor has a justification for its actions.

Unless there’s a written contract that provides for your agreement to a price increase or surcharge, you nave a point. Your agreement in some form to a price increase is required. But if you agreed to a long-term arrangement, you owe at least the lower price. I suggest that this be worked out... View More

Regardless of the type of agreement you have, the most important information you could have is... you probably have a contract, and binding. But, what the terms of the agreement are, you'll probably need to hire an attorney and litigate it to ever know for certain.

If the vehicle is titled in Ohio, I recommend that you hold out for an answer from an attorney in Ohio. I am not, so I am going to give a brief answer based on Michigan law.

I do not see a reason to agree to have a lien evidenced on the title. However, if the vehicle is titled to your... View More

You should consult a local business attorney, but I believe at the point you are selling food items, then additional licensing may be required.

Your question presents two issues: 1) is a possible defense to the suit itself, and 2) the scope of the subpoena / discovery.

You're probably not going to win on the bank statement issue, and quite frankly, that's probably not where your focus needs to be on. You should retain an... View More

Without seeing any agreements it's difficult to point you in the right direction. But, probably not. However, they would probably have a pretty clear path to obtaining your sign-on bonus, even if it required a lawsuit. Whether that means all of the sign-on bonus or a fraction of it, again, depends.

It's probably not entirely helpful to send you to read a statute, but there is a pretty helpful website from the State of Michigan that discusses the boundaries of the Youth Employment Standards Act (YESA). It doesn't appear as though a minor 16 years or older requires a parent's... View More

An addendum is probably not enough, by itself, to permit the seller to terminate the purchase agreement. Usually an addendum is an offer to modify the contract and not a termination of a contract coupled with an offer to reform the contract under new terms. But, there's really no way a lawyer...

You should definitely speak to someone a little higher up the chain; sounds like there might be an error in their system.

You should have proof of payment to substantiate your claim. Going forward, don't rely on their representatives' word.

As a practical matter, you are dealing with someone who somehow got that rental car impounded...doesn't sound like a good risk to sign for anything.

You can sue whomever you like; but it doesn't sound like this person cares much about responsibility or likely what a judge says.... View More
