I do not practice in Pennsylvania, but your question has not been picked up in four weeks. You could consult with a Pennsylvania attorney who could ask you about the type of damages you might be seeking, for instance, if there was injury in the form of dental damage, or other forms of injury. An... View More

Try contacting your local Pennsylvania State Police barracks with your questions. They deal with and enforce most of the firearms laws in the Commonwealth. Better safe than sorry, right?
Best of luck to you.

Law reviews -- periodicals published by law school that contain scholarly articles, casenotes, etc. on legal topics -- can be found in a law library. Many can also be found online as well, and here's a good starting place: https://lawreviewcommons.com/.
Best of luck to you.

You're looking for appellate court opinions in cases concerning the Second Amendment (which *only* deals with "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms")?
Your best bet is to do a Google search yourself and/or go spend some time in a law library. You won't find... View More
Formally filed with PA Attorney General, no response from roofer.
answered on Sep 8, 2018
If you get a civil monetary judgment in Pennsylvania against the roofer, you will need to file a certified copy of the judgment with the State of New Jersey. Once accomplished (and you will need to consult New Jersey law about how to do this properly), you would then be able to begin enforcement... View More

Judgement was won against me in magistrate court after debt collector lied to me.I appealed to common pleas court,since they cannot garnish my social security.They never responded to the appeal.Will it still go to trial or will Judgement go in my favor?

Call the Prothonotary of your county's Court of Common Pleas and ask them where the case is procedurally. Every county does it a little bit differently, so go straight to the source and find out.
Best of luck to you.

Generally no. You need to get a copy of whatever order the bank was served with. Chances are there is a court that they went to to get a default notice. You need to get those records as well. Only then can an attorney help you unravel this. If you get ALL the documents, then contact a consumer... View More

I am not a Bankruptcy Lawyer, and what you describe going on does not sound like it has to do with Bankruptcy. It sounds like you have a real estate problem, and the other side has asked for Arbitration. It appears that you are in Philadelphia, while I am in California. So, the law is different... View More
I have tried talking with this person and he said via text he would return $156.00. He wouldn't respond further. I filed a complaint with the DA's office yesterday. I want at least $500.00 returned or for the mechanic to remove this part. The overall bill was 1,173.00 $140 for labor. I am... View More

You can take anyone you want to court. Will you succeed? No way to know from the limited description of your situation. If you agreed to pay the costs charged, but changed your mind after you got your car back, then you probably have no case. A bag of chips may cost $1.00 normally, but if... View More
I financed the car from a Nissan dealership. i was late on three payments before the car was repossessed and sold. I was told I could pay the full car amount, give the car up, or it would be repossessed. I took the car back up to the dealership due to me not wanting the car to be repossessed. Once... View More

It is probably legal, yes. You need to have a local lawyer look into this for you, but even though you returned the car, you are still liable for the deficiency balance owed after the car is sold and the proceeds applied. You might look into whether the car was sold for more or less than the... View More

If you mean a pet toy, possibly--if you can show it was being used in the manner intended.
Car was financed thru Condor Capital. I contacted them on 3 separate occasions requesting they pick up the vehicle. During that time their vehicle contract license was taken away.

Your question went out to the family law attorneys. You should discuss this with a personal injury attorney. My thoughts are that, unless you actually suffered damages, there are no grounds for a lawsuit, but, as I said, you should check with a personal injury attorney.

Hope you told your credit card company the amount is in dispute. Did you have witnesses? Find out what they are claiming are the damages--if it's things like undercarriage likely you didn't cause them.
Profile case?
I bought the dry blood to the attention of the employees in the store. The store associate stated there was a guy bleeding in the store,because he was trying to remove security pins prior to me coming.
answered on Feb 20, 2018
You can only sue for the damages you received. Other than the eeeew factor, I don't hear you suffered any damages. I assume you washed the area with an antiseptic and/or chlorox to kill any germs and viruses.
Careless of the store to leave blood around,but I'm not seeing that... View More
Could the party receiving this information get into any trouble for not contacting proper authorities if the person is successful with the suicide
answered on Feb 8, 2018
Charges are sometimes brought in these types of cases. There was a heavily publicized case in Massachusetts recently where a young woman encouraged her friend to kill himself and he did. She was convicted of charges for this.
