Your use of the doll trademark to specify that the pattern fits that doll is "nominative fair use" of the trademark. It is not an infringement since you are not selling dolls or competing with the trademark owner, just informing the pattern market what doll yours fits.
Is my employer required to retroactively pay me due to the payroll employee just not paying me that amount bc she didn't think I should get that.
answered on Aug 2, 2022
You should first discuss the situation with the individual that told you that you would receive compensation at the higher rate. If they don't agree to retroactive payments, then you should contact a Nebraska employment attorney. While the email you mentioned is not a contract, you may want... View More

You would need to talk with an attorney who practices in North Dakota if that is where the subpoena came from. At least in Nebraska, there are rules about having to compensate witnesses to appear at a hearing.

You will want to review your purchase agreement in detail. If the vehicle was... View More

We have faithfully paid rent despite the repairs our landlord had failed to do, minus the one my husband did because of the fire hazard and lack of smoke detectors. We do... View More

It depends in large part on the terms of your lease agreement. If your lease is up and the lease only requires your landlord to now give 30 days notice to vacate, it may be within the property owner's rights to ask you to leave in accordance with the terms of the lease. You would need to... View More

Can I be liable for any damages to the vehicle before or after a year once it is in the possession of the property buyer? What are my responsibilities once I have sold?
answered on May 4, 2022
If you did the proper legal formalities such as a bill of sale and transferring the title of the vehicle to the new owner, then you likely have no further responsibility at least as owner of the vehicle. If you left the vehicle but you are still a title holder, then things become more complicated... View More
I have an email where counsel literally denies my request to take action because of indigent status. Can I be denied rights guaranteed by the constitution for asking the courts for a lawyer instead of paying one?
answered on May 4, 2022
You can file a motion or appeal to ask the Court to find that the conviction should be reversed or reheard due to ineffective assistance of counsel.
answered on May 4, 2022
It isn't always 10 days. It depends on the grounds for the motion for new trial. For most reasons, the time limit is 10 days as set forth by statute.
For example, see Nebraska statute 29-2103.
