File a complaint in small claims court for breach of contract and print out the texts and attach them as an exhibit. When referring to the contract make reference to the exhibit. Also be sure to show how you paid and how the cousin received the funds. Hiring an attorney would likely take every... View More 
I've been asked by a friend to witness delivery of a legal form, and we'd both like to know what the legal process is to make sure I, as witness, can confirm delivery, or if there's an official that needs to be hired/present during the delivery of the form

For a legal form to have been witnessed as delivered, a witness must sign and date the form, acknowledging that they have seen the delivery to the intended recipient. The witness should also print their name and address on the form. In some cases, the witness may also be required to provide an... View More

You have a defense of payment (Accord and Satisfaction). The HOA will assert that you were late in payment and never paid until the law firm was engaged and you received the complaint. The ability to demonstrate the timing of your payment will be critical to your defense.
I believe that... View More

Hello. Always take a look at your written lease as that governs a lien Aunt agreement, and what each party can do. Usually there would be a clause in that agreement discussing abandonment of property. It seems as if three years is a long time to wait to get items and therefore I would consider them... View More

First, yes, they can sue you. There is a statute that allows merchants to sue for statutory damages of $200 from thieves to help defray the costs of loss prevention. But they probably won't. They simply cannot win enough money to make it worth the time. In many courts it costs more than $200... View More

This is most likely a scam aimed at trying to scare you into giving them money. That said, while the age of consent in Ohio is 16, an adult who engages in a sexual relationship with a minor is taking big legal risks. First, any pornographic images of the minor are highly illegal child pornography.... View More

In a situation like yours, where your property was damaged due to your neighbor's shed burning down, you may have grounds for a claim. Since the house is inherited and the current owner has not maintained insurance, this complicates matters, but it doesn't necessarily mean you have no... View More

Medical malpractice is incredibly specialized. Do NOT try to do this yourself. Contact a medical malpractice attorney who can reserve your rights to a claim.
Basically we don't initially get drug tested for THC until an accident occurs and if THC comes up they either terminate you or fire you depending on who you are is this legal?
answered on Jun 8, 2023
Yes. Ohio employers may terminate for THC in your system. There are no protections for employees in Ohio for use of marijuana, even medical marijuana.
Someone has not a paid a loan back and we verbally agreed that the money I gave was a loan.

With the text messages you claim to have, probably.
People sue on oral agreements all the time and win. Email, text messages, sms messages, social media posts, and recordings are all useful evidence to corroborate what was said.

Ohio has a statute of limitations for breaches of written contracts of six years (R.C. 2305.06); and for breaches of oral contracts for four years (R.C. 2305.07). You are within the time limit to bring a claim.

I got the drone back, said he may have to charge me because his crew may charge him, I may not be properly licensed but was not near any controlled air space.

An Ohio attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. Until you're able to discuss with a local attorney, nationwide such a situation would usually be on the drone operator. If the crew is regularly up there to check equipment or perform maintenance, they could... View More

It depends on if he is an ex-boyfriend or an ex-spouse. If he is an ex-spouse, then the divorce decree and property separation agreement determine who gets the vehicle.

If you do not respond the lawsuit filed against you, the plaintiff can obtain a default judgment against you. More information is needed to provide you with specific advice. You should call an attorney and get an evaluation of your situation.

I loaned my ex 6k and got a loan for him. We had a verbal agreement for repayment. He was making payments but recently stopped. I have emails where he admits to owing me but now refuses to pay. Can I sue him in Ohio in small claims court?
answered on Mar 28, 2022
You can sue him. The emails will help. You probably want to sue in the civil division of the municipal court and not small claims because $9,000 exceeds the jurisdictional limit of $6,000 to be considered a small claim. You can sue in small claims but the court can only grant a judgment up to... View More
