Since a car can only be a “lemon” if it was purchased new, you could be sued for business disparagement if your sign deters a prospective customer from purchasing a car from the dealership.
Most used cars are sold as-is, meaning the buyer is not relying on anything the seller may have... View More

If you’ve only paid $14K atty fees in that type of case after 15 months of litigation, your current law firm is doing a bang up job in keeping your litigation costs low.
If they are recommending you file a no evidence motion for summary judgment, the timing seems about right as the... View More

It seems unlikely you would be charged for making vague statements at a National Night Out event.
Making a false statement to a police officer that is material to an ongoing criminal investigation is a crime. From your question, it doesn’t sound like anything you said was material to a... View More

Perhaps your lawyer knows that the judge already knows that the prosecutor's argument is irrelevant.

Probably neither of the above. The more likely reason is that the 1983 suit against the municipality pretty much requires that the plaintiff proves that the municipality had an actual policy to violate the constitution. E.g., if a person is beaten up by the cops, to prove a 1983 case against the... View More
