A contractor was hired to remove trees on my property, and asked for payment in full and never completed the work. It has been a month of excuses and promises of a refund with no results. I told him I would seek legal avenues, and he told me he would dissolve the LLC / declare bankruptcy if I did... View More

You can sue the company and him personally. Allowing an attorney, like me, to evaluate, organize, send a demand and draft your conciliation complaint (up to $15,000) may be a wise investment. A well polished complaint will not only provide the judge a solid foundation to rule in your favor, but a... View More
The company (located in NY) initiated the sales call, after regular hours here in MN, high-pressure sales/FOMO, and I was talked into signing a contract (3/27/24 at 8:20pm CDT) and paying the first month's fee of $499. Great-sounding contract with 60-day, 10 new patient referral guarantee. I... View More

I loaned my dad and step mom around $170k so they could get a home when I was 17. They ended up getting divorced and selling the house. This was 15 years ago but I was wondering if there is any legal action I can take
answered on Apr 3, 2024
The most glaring fact in your post is you were only 17 when you made the loan. There are few scenarios in which you could have made a loan, but there are an infinite number of possibilities of other occurrences. You need to contact attorneys with a clear and concise description of what exactly... View More

In this situation, there are a few important factors to consider before determining whether you can take legal action:
1. Statute of Limitations: The time limit for filing a lawsuit varies by state and the type of claim. After 15 years, it's possible that the statute of limitations has... View More
Tenant sued me for not returning her deposit in the required 21 days. I admitted that I returned it late, however at the time of trial I didn't realize that the 21 window starts when the tenant vacated/term ended, AND tenant provides forwarding address. I looked back and she didn't... View More

A Conciliation Court order or judgment can be appealed at the District (Trial) Court.
The facts are reviewed “de novo,” which means the case gets a fresh start before the District Court judge. There may be a civil trial and either party can request a jury.

I called the owner of the sheds and he said 2 months afterwards that she called and wanted another contract written up but take me off of it. Now she's saying if I go in there she'll have me arrested. Is it legal for her to take me off a contract?
answered on Jan 15, 2024
Apparently, she did enter into a new contract. Without knowing the terms of the contract you signed, I don't know if the new contract is valid. It may or it may not. I don't know anything about the dynamics of your relationship or your objectives. Are you getting divorced?

From March -August I've had nothing but lack of communication, mistakes from contract managers and emails detailing these issues.

I apologize, but this may not be a post most attorneys can respond to without conducting research.
There were multiple people making false reports against me, which would be defamation since I can prove it correct?
answered on Jun 15, 2024
The employer has no obligation to conduct an investigation. A defamation lawsuit would be against the individuals who made the statement, not Hertz. Feel free to consult with an employment attorney.
If I signed a contract with a health care entity and then this same entity MERGES with another (not sold), does the 2nd entity have the right to change terms of my contract (the original contract CEO is still the CEO of merged entity).
answered on Apr 20, 2024
Without knowing the terms and conditions of the contract you signed, I don't know if "the 2nd entity ha[s] the right to change terms of [your] contract. You don't even mention what the contract has to do with. Health care entities entered into dozens of contracts, some have nothing... View More

I apologize, but I am not entirely sure what type of relationship you are describing. Your description would include many different scenarios. Most importantly would be any contractual obligations of the parties. I have no doubt the subsidiary has options, but I don't know what may be the best one.
Hospital wants us to add a section in our parking lot repair proposal about letting the government have access our records and books for 4 years. Do we have to have that verbiage in our proposal? In 40 years of business, we have never had to include that.
answered on Mar 21, 2024
You do not have to have that verbiage in your proposal. Likewise, they do not need to accept your proposal. Unfortunately, without a better understanding of the situation, I don't know what leverage you have in negotiating.
I had to fight with them for months for money they promised me. I even had them put it in writing, but that didn't matter. They took thousands of dollars from me before finally paying me what they promised. After paying me my full pay for a couple months they took my position away and put me... View More

Yes, you can "file a lawsuit against street fleet for money not paid to [you] for months." Prepare a clear and concise description of the events to present lawyers with your documentation. Also briefly describe what Street Fleet's argument will be.
I have a rental agreement for two Minnesota vehicles fo pay $75 a month for each vehicle for storage. It have been almost 3 years and the owners have paid me for one month only.

To pursue ownership of the vehicles for unpaid storage fees, you would typically need to follow the lien sale process outlined in Wisconsin’s statutes. This often involves sending a notice of the lien to the vehicle owners, advertising the lien sale, and conducting the sale in compliance with the... View More
we summited a bid, it is stated that if our bid is not signed within the 25 days it is voided. never heard back from them until 30 days later, then we sent a letter saying we were withdrawing from the project. Now they are trying to sue us for 150K. Nothing was signed or agreed upon.
answered on Oct 26, 2023
If it wasn’t signed within twenty five days it seems you have a solid defense. Likewise, if nothing was signed or agreed upon you should be in solid ground. Unfortunately, that's all I have to go on. An attorney can evaluate your situation better all the information.
Specifically, will it have an affect on other cities in the same county (Hennepin)?
answered on Oct 25, 2023
That will be up to the other cities, but I tend to doubt that all the cities in Hennepin County will adopt the same policy.
answered on Oct 22, 2023
A Minnesota attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. Under textbook contract law, a signed contract is a done deal, subject to exceptions. But since your contract is a lease, a landlord-tenant attorney should advise. Good luck
I signed an employment agreement to a certain wage, and when my first paycheck came, they did not give me the correct wage that we agreed upon on the papers that I signed
answered on Oct 3, 2023
What did they say when you brought it to their attention? I am sorry, but what are you expecting as a response?
The city says we HAVE to have a bathroom accessible to the public, is this true? There is a public restroom in the restaurant. The customers can exit the retail store to the restaurant and technically use it there?
answered on Aug 30, 2023
I don't believe a retail store is required to have a public restroom. Who told you that it does? The "city" could mean various things or people.
