You could reach out to attorneys who handle cases involving emotional distress. However, you have some other elements in there, so make these clear to any attorneys you reach out to. Emotional distress claims fall under a number of different headings, from intentional tort (such as intentional... View More

An Oklahoma attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. It could be difficult for attorneys here to reach out to you. This is only a Q & A forum; it doesn't work like an attorney referral service. You could search for attorneys online, you could check the tab... View More

An Oklahoma attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. This is something that attorneys in the Libel/Slander category would know better than car accident attorneys. There's no guarantee all questions are picked up, but you could repost in that category. Good luck

From what you've described, they can still be brought up. They're certainly not "void."
Victims don't have the choice about "pressing charges." Rather, that's the prosecutor's call. The victim can recant, fail to cooperate, etc. But it's the prosecution's choice whether to press charges or not.

There is not enough information here to answer. You don't say who sold the property and why. You don't say what monies you are having to pay back and to whom. You should assemble all of your documents related to this matter and consult with an attorney to determine what the issues are and... View More

You would need to research the land records covering the land, which are found in the county clerk's office of the county where the lands are located. Oil and gas titles can be very complicated. You could hire an oil and gas attorney or an oil and gas landman to do the search.

You may have a cause of action but you would have to have evidence that it was, in fact, a negative result. Your testimony will not be enough. You will need other toxicity test results from that same day to support any case you may have.

This question is not really about libel and slander, it's about criminal law.
In order to convict you of a crime, the prosecutor has to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that you are guilty.

If your employer does drug testing and makes it mandatory for all employees I don't see any problem of discrimination. If you were singled out there might be a case but other factors would still come into play. Since its supposed to be by blind pick, I would say that is fair. Have a talk with... View More

You have the right to walk away from him and get him out of your life. It is probably not worth the time or effort of trying to get the $100 back.

A former employer can be liable under different legal theories for bashing a former employee on a reference check. Defamation is one theory. Under defamation, you would say that you have been economically injured because they have made false statements about you (your character, your competency,... View More

A "background check" can be as simple as running your name on public data bases such as the Oklahoma Supreme Court Network (OSCN). If she used a private or government database, it could cost her job.
