Periodically check in and ask if there are additional documents that would assist with the verification process. Some license types could receive higher scrutiny, depending on the class (such as enhanced). Depending on location, the pandemic has also had an impact on some public agency offices.... View More

Under federal law, 19 CFR § 12.96 applies which generally allows utilitarian knives to be imported but not switchblades. You should consult your state's and local statutes that further prohibit importation of the sword in that jurisdiction.

There are occasions when an employee wants to take vacation pay instead of unpaid time off. I can see an employer being willing to make such an offer.

No, this isn't a pro bono, or other type of law firm. It's only a question and answer forum. If you're seeking a pro bono or legal aid type counsel, there are online resources for law firms that hold themselves out for pro bono work. Good luck

Unless the summary judgment motion is from your mortgage bank or landlord, it’s hard to see how you could be evicted from your home on that basis. However I would have to review your file in detail before I could advise you on your legal position.

I'm sorry this happened to you. It looks like you already did many of the things that could be done. If you have a renter's insurance policy, check its provisions for personal property loss. But keep in mind that there could be a deductible. I hope it turns up and you get it back. Good luck
