Contact the Florida Attorney General's Consumer Affairs Office. If the unit was paid for through a program that program should be notified .
You have a right to sue them and can sue them in small claims court.
Yes you can. However, depending on whether your improved product falls within the original patent you may need a license to the original patent to sell a product. If your improvement is a kit to upgrade the original product then you may be ok. Lots of details and nuances. Best bet is to talk... Read more »

A Florida attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. It could be helpful to have additional information here. If being subjected to UV light is something arising in the course of your employment, this could be more an employment law matter than a personal injury... Read more »

I want to name my company " viva la vixen" but I see another company has that as their trademark name and name of their company. however the status is showing as abandoned, what do I do
If this is in Florida you apply for the name once the company has been administratively dissolved for 1 year. If you are not sure what to do you should get an attorney to help you with this process. The old company is able to reinstate their name for a fee and the late filing penalty, but not after... Read more »
Do we need to make a disclaimer for both outgoing and incoming calls? or let the person know they're on a recorded line during outgoing phone calls? or both? If so, Is there a specific disclaimer that is best for legality purposes?
Wow. I am surprised you had to ask this question in August 2020, what with all the calls being made to and from all kinds of banks, credit card companies, insurance companies, police departments and government agencies and many other entities that routinely tell people that the call is being...

He was named in a class action suit that was settled after he died and at the time all the children were minors and we never married. How can they find out what happened to this money that they should be entitled too.

He is responsible to paint it the way it was before he damaged it.
I have a legal DBA to sell jerseys,shoes,hoodies, etc. I would be getting the products from China but reselling them in U.S. is that legal. Also they look real but is there a difference if they are not. Thank you
It is unclear whether you are asking about intellectual property law, import licensing, or something else.
to their cars. If they sue how can they prove this? At least 3 others nearby shot off fireworks too. They sent a pic but it doesn't show scratches or anything and the cars are a few years old. Should I ask to see estimates?
Yes, and ask for their proof that you, and not someone else, caused the damage. For only $1,200, it is doubtful that an attorney will want to spend that much time on what I'm guessing would be a small claims case, so it might not go beyond the demand letter. Contact your homeowner's... Read more »
This is a brand new case that was just filed last week.
There is no settlement, no judgement, nothing to claim at this point.
Class action cases take time, often 2-5 years from the time they are filed until they are resolved.
And there is no guarantee that the case will be... Read more »
If an app advertises winning real money, and they really don’t pay out to anybody, would that be a good reason to sue for false advertising. Especially if someone spent money on in game purchases and got nothing out of it?
It appears very likely that they were committing fraud and you were damaged by that fraud. I encourage you to sue them and report them to police authorities.
I'm sorry for the loss of your mother. You could contact product liability attorneys who handle pharmaceutical cases. Good luck
Tim Akpinar
You are speaking of two different legal theories here. The reason your question remains open for two weeks could be that the matter suggests something more complex than one where a Florida attorney could offer a quick turnkey answer. Product liability lawsuits, to oversimplify, are based on... Read more »

Yes, contact an attorney in Colorado; the case would probably have to be brought there.

Boyfriend and I bought house and deed has both names on it when we sell is it a Florida law that the proceeds will be split between parties Can separate checks be made out as he feels I should not get anything I have made all the mortgage payments and he put a small amount down on home
If the two of you can't agree how to split the proceeds, one of you will have to sue the other for "partition".
I purchased a vehicle from a used car dealer, I asked prior to the purchase if there were any mechanical issues that needed to be addressed sooner rather than later, I was told no the car is perfect. I’ve fixed everything that needed to be repaired. I paid the $3,000 and I drove the car off the... Read more »
You need to consult an attorney handling consumer protection matters in person, in order to show the purchase agreement and go through the whole story. One issue is whether you signed an "AS IS" contract (an unwise thing to do). If you did, that would present an obstacle to recovery,... Read more »
