The fact of "trespassing" will likely constitute "wrongdoing". Unless you meet the statutory conditions of "criminal" tresspassing, it's just a violation in NYS (you can get a ticket for a small fine).
The person I referred lost money. I did not receive any money from the person I referred or the investor.
There are attorneys on this board who are knowledgeable in securities-related matters who could best advise, but your post remains open for two weeks. As a GENERAL premise, for someone to be liable for scamming or defrauding someone, it usually has to be shown that they had an intent to deceive or... Read more »
We have a judgment against us from an “old friend” who sued us and the case went all the way to trial in October of 2017. The judgment wasn’t filed until may 2019 and was never served upon us. Then the person said she wasn’t going to try to get the money anymore. We wanted to refinance and... Read more »
Hi, Liz. The interest rate may be specified in the judgment. If not, most states have statutes that specify rates for pre-judgment and post-judgement interest. If this is a New York state court judgment, that rate is generally 9% simple interest. As always, there could be additional facts that... Read more »
That's something an Illinois attorney would be likelier to know. You could repost under Illinois. The question would have better chances of being picked up there. Good luck

She is working as a temporary worker at a hospital for an assignment. She was shoved twice and verbally assaulted by the male employee. He was arrested on Friday, but has since been released with no charges per the police. My sister is experiencing trauma from being physically assaulted by this... Read more »
Sorry to hear what happened to your sister. If she hasn't already, she should report the incident to her supervisor and request that the other employee be transferred to a different department to reduce the risk that she might run into him again. With regard to bringing a lawsuit against the... Read more »
My father was unofficially adopted by my grandparents in Puerto Rico in the 1950s, and when he was born they did not change his original last name to what should of been my adoptive grandfathers last name.
For all the time he has been in the United States (specifically NY for over 40... Read more »
Based upon what you have said, to begin with the case would have to be done in PR as that is where he was born, however, since the "adoption" was unofficial it is unlikely that it can be done. What is probably a better option, is to bring an action for a name change back to the time he... Read more »

You would need to check on the existence of any Pet Lemon Law in CT. I would recommend checking with the CT Attorney General's Office. NY Lemon Law does not apply to out of state sales.
It is also a 2 almost 3 year old case
It sounds like your conference was administratively adjourned (postponed) by the Court until March 31st. Substantively it should not affect your case at all. If you are very concerned you can always call the Court and speak with one of the clerks. If applicable, use the extra time to complete... Read more »
You do not need a lawyer for this, but it is a hard process.

I tried moving in my mother but my grandma said that its court ordered that I cant live with her until I'm 18. can a court do that? how can it be possible that I can live with her... Read more »
First you need to speak to your mother and find out what orders if any there are. Once you know what the order says if anything, you can speak to a lawyer to get information on what to do. The alternative, is to go to family court and file a petition for support from your grandmother as she is... Read more »
This could be something that a collection defense attorney would be able to advise best on. All the categories you chose make good sense, but you await a response for four weeks. You could try reposting and adding Collection as a category. Not all posts are picked up, but you'd probably have... Read more »
My dog was attacking another dog at a dog park and the owner got bit in the process. A police report was filed. An ambulance came and took her to the ER. She got the ER bill. I paid for it and we signed a general release form specifying the amount that was to be paid (the ER bill). It was... Read more »
Anyone can sue anyone if they pay the fee. Thus, the question is do you have a defense. It depends on what the form says. Assuming it is a true general release form, you should have a complete defense.

I'm very sorry for your loss of your mother.

Like many states, New York’s law sets time limits for a host of specific crimes. For crimes not specifically listed in the statute, a general statute of limitations applies based on the category of the crime. The general time limits are:

Probably, creating a family trust is the best option to suit your needs.
The debt they amen to me this summer to talk about it can I still sue since they still acknowledge and promise still to pay me back
Yes. The statute of limitations is six years. But, an oral acknowledgment of the debt does not re-set the statute. Must be written.
I went there to bring her home because she's a minor there. Police & all, she's not rational & the mom there never advised she was there. If 18 is a minor why couldn't she come with me as I'm her mother?
While I can not comment on Nebraska law, in NY the age of majority is 18 and a NY court will not take a case incolving the custody of an 18 year old.

What does the lease say? Usually, leaks, even in commercial property are the responsibility of the Landlord.
So, your options are probably:
1. Repair and deduct,
2. Sue for breach of contract, or
3. Declare the lease breached and leave.
How can they still file a option months later? Can only guess related to Covid?

Due to the PAUSE orders by Gov. Cuomo, the time to file a motion to reargue was tolled. Thus, based on your post, it appears timely. However, if there is no stay, and you have the right to enter judgment, you can do so.
