She failed the drug test and we believe they are going to the board of nursing. I need to know what we need to do. She is currently a licensed practical nurse.

A Pennsylvania attorney could advise best, but you await a response for two weeks and time is likely of the essence. It's probably a narrow area of practice, but she could search for professional license defense attorneys or nursing license defense attorneys. She could look to see what general... View More

Depends on the college's rules. If you are being blackmailed, the person trying to do that faces far more severe penalties. Pictures may show what appears to be a minor consuming alcohol. They aren't proof the minor did consume alcohol. For college charges that may not matter but for... View More

Anyone can file a complaint. Whether or not it is something the police would do anything about is another thing. Keep a copy of her postings (hard copy), showing time and date; likewise any instagram or other transmission. Keep your response to a simple "I disagree." and say no more.... View More

No, consent of BOTH parents is required if under 18 years old.
They've been together for a little over a year since she was 16 and he lives at my uncle's house and isn't even bothered by the fact that he's letting an adult sleep with his 17 year old child

The age of consent is 16, so it's not illegal. What message that sends the 17 year old is not a legal question.
He’s now being charged with assault, the guy hit his friend first then shoved him and my bf retaliated what can he get charged with and how can he defend himself
answered on Dec 11, 2019
He needs a lawyer. Assault is not a d.i.y. case. He needs to speak with the public defender. He can come to the aid of his friend but can't be throwing fists.
Just need to know what to do to get it to stop

Call the police - they might be committing criminal harassment and criminal threatening. This could lay the foundation for obtaining a restraining order or peace bond but also start the process of getting them the mental health care services that they need. You want the police involved to... View More

As a general matter, cancellation can mean termination of something, such as a membership or contract. Cancellation is generally deemed to be more permanent in nature than suspension. But it all depends on context and usage. Good luck

Also how many years back can I request?
answered on Jul 29, 2019
Look at the bylaws and charter but they should. As far as years back the more years the better the reason needs be.

We are a salvage yard that sells used diesel parts with no guarantees to the public. We had a sale where the customer said we sold a faulty engine. The local magistrate sided with the customer. We need to appeal. Neither side had representation at the magistrate-level hearing where judgment was... View More

Just look for someone who handles civil litigation. You'll have 30 days from the date of the magistrate's judgment to file an appeal to the Court of Common Pleas in your county (likely Wyoming County). Your local bar association may be able to point you to someone as well.
Best of luck to you.
This was my landlord's daughter who has never been a responsible pet owner. In those 4 years, she would occasionally ask if the dog could stay overnight with her and I would allow that but my place is her home. All expenses have been paid by me, including years of dog classes such as Nose... View More

Initially, as they say, possession is 9/10th of the law. So there's that.
I believe no court would award possession of the dog to this girl. She gave you the dog, and you've done everything to care for it. Unless the girl has some sort of writing that specifies that she never... View More
They have threatened us with physical harm.
answered on Oct 28, 2018
Threats you should discuss with the police. Be accurate--"that's what he meant" or "that's what I took it to mean" aren't the same as "this is what he said"\
Note the time, date, and the words used in the order they were said.

He keeps quitting his jobs so that they cant take any of his wages, how can I get some type of action done against him?
answered on Sep 15, 2018
Potentially. You can also bring a separate small claims suit against him for your lost wages due to garnishment -- although that's only if there was a promise (and hopefully in writing) by him to pay for the car 100% and indemnify you. If you co-signed, normally you're on the hook for... View More
There was a building next door that was bought by the Catholic Church and demolished. We are row homes, so there is now an empty lot.

Hard to say, of course, given the extremely limited facts you've presented -- but I'll give it a shot.

I co-signed a car for my son, we had a falling out and he dropped off the car at my house in April and I have been responsible for making the payments. Now he wants the car back and says he has every right to take it back. Please help
answered on Jul 18, 2018
Primary and co sign are different. Look at whose name the title and registration are in. That's who is the owner. If it's him you have a claim for what you put into it, any insurance required etc. That would be a set off. Suggest you mediate with someone he respects.
