First, copyright and plagiarism are not the same thing. Keep that in mind. Plagiarism is an academic concern, whereas copyright is a legal concern. Lawyers do not concern ourselves with plagiarism.

There is nothing uncommon about the delay in any type of response. As long as you have proof that they received it, you shouldn’t worry. In some of my cases, the delay between a submission response to a request for evidence and any kind of activity on the case file can sometimes be over 10 or 11... View More

I practice in Haywood semi-regularly, and the ADAs in District Court are reasonable. The class you took was a smart idea and may help you get the result you want. I don't think they are likely to expend any further resources on this type of crime in the way of the diversion programs you... View More

You can always sue. The question is, will you win and if so, how much. Even if you do win, will you ever be able to collect. I am doubtful that this is a case worth pursuing. If the title he signed over to you was a salvage rebuilt title, the fact that you acknowledged the sale was "as... View More

Chances are highly likely that your claim will be subject to the discharge injunction when the bankruptcy is closed, so you cannot sue them after the bankruptcy is over. Do not sue and do not contact the person demanding payment. If... View More

Check the clerk's office (Estates) in the county where your relative last resided, to see if an estate was ever opened. If so, look to see if the account was distributed. Also, you can check online at NCCASH to see if the money was handed over to the state. If so, you'll need to follow... View More
