Do we have to follow Sunshine Law in respect to posting meeetings, request for documents (copy of meetings, etc) given that we receive monthly payments from our local city government and have received federal grant money in the past?

Under Missouri law, the Sunshine... Read more »

I was told about a year ago that my account and book were removed from Amazon and I found out today they still had my book in their online book store. What are my options?

I would have to see the agreement you signed with them. I would also have understand how they communicated to you that your account and book had been removed.
Based on this information, it may make sense to develop a litigation strategy.

They are withholding the title, so the answer to your question of whether they can hold the title is "yes." The better question is whether you would be in strong legal position if you were to sue. Any attorney would need to review your contract and be hired in order to give you sound... Read more »

No one here know the facts, the evidence, and how testimony will be viewed. Until a jury renders a guilty verdict and it is upheld on appeal, anyone can theoretically beat any charge.
