Trustee. Wouldn't this negate our purchase agreement with her? Should I still have to pay?
answered on Mar 19, 2020
Whether the sellers bankruptcy is a breach of the contract to purchase will depend on the contract language. Generally, however, the bankruptcy trustee will stand in the shoes of the seller in enforcing the contract and unless bankruptcy is specifically addressed as a breach in the contract... View More
I have read the financial agreement signed and it states "parents have financial responsibility for those rare days daycare is closed to catastrophic events. The legal definition of catastrophic events references natural and man made disasters not pandemics. This is the only thing I've... View More

The answer to your question would depend upon how the court construes the definition of a "catostrophic event." Now one will be able to tell you with certainly how a court would construe the definition. For example, how is a "man-made disaster" defined? You are free to sue in... View More

Paid him now he wont finish the job. What can i do to get my money back so i can pay someone else to finish?
answered on Feb 16, 2020
First, exhaust your efforts to get paid without hiring an attorney. If that doesn't work and enough money is at issue hire an attorney. Most attorneys could send a letter and many could file suit if necessary.

Although I am not licensed to practice law in Georgia or Missouri I can tell you with some certainty that what you are trying to do--become a financial advisor--will require you to get some sort of license(s) regardless of where you live.
Contract says must be mailed, I emailed my desire to cancel and phoned without signatures

I'm not aware of any cases addressing you specific issue. The statute seems to contemplate either mailed notice or in-person delivery of the notice, because it states, "Cancellation occurs when the buyer gives written notice of cancellation to the seller at the address stated in the... View More
This last May, I won $500 in free airfare credit from a vaping website I use, named Breazy. I was told I would have my prize “no later than the 30th” of the month (so May 30th). It’s now almost mid October and still no prize. I’ve emailed and called many times. Filed a BBB complaint that... View More
answered on Oct 10, 2019
I'm sorry to hear that Breazy won't keep its word. Filing suit in small claims court against an out-of-state company like Breazy won't do you much good for reasons that would take too long to explain in a short answer, but deal with your ability to collect the judgment if you get... View More

I’m starting a hair extension business but in the future I want multiple business under the brand name (ex. Fenty by Rihanna). I need advice on trademarking the name and llc.
answered on Apr 16, 2019

You would need to search for similar federal (or state) registrations in the same class of goods or services and then analyze those registrations against your desired name and determine whether there is a likelihood of confusion under the DuPont factors. If that... View More

I don't know what legal basis they are providing for not following the statute. If what they are doing violates the statute, you can file suit to obtain compliance but that will be a costly endeavor.

answered on Nov 28, 2018
If the contract shows the amount due and the installment amount and any interest, then I'm not sure you've been wronged. Whether the business may break into your residence to nab the mattress is a separate issue.
