Yes,

You can get sued if you are from a different country barring diplomatic immunity, but for the common traveler/tourist, yes you can be sued as long as you meet the minimum contacts in the states. The main question on this is Jurisdiction and service of process. An analysis would fill... View More

Hello,

I am not sure I understand the situation. Let me see if I have this correct: 1) You purchased a dog from an organization for less than $500. 2) Later you changed your mind.

I am trouble understanding what 2) is intended to mean. Are you saying that you changed your mind... View More

This is a good question, in addition to the issue of whether or not someone can enforce a contract that has been altered from the original provisions agreed to, there might be an issue of whether this was a contract at all.

In all contracts, there has to be "consideration" or... View More

Contract law imposes a duty to mitigate damages. So if you breached the agreement then technically you are responsible to pay rent for the months that you said you would in the contract. However, if the property management company is able to "re-rent" the place quickly then this would... View More

First, let me say that I am sorry that you felt taken advantage of.

I don't think that it is ever good advice to ignore a debt and expect that it will just go away, so I wouldn't do that. In order to have a legitimate capacity defense for why the contract shouldn't be... View More

I can't speak generally about these types of agreements, I would have to read the contract to give you a good answer. The terms of the extended warranty agreement will be in there. Look for the clauses that talk about termination of the agreement.

Sorry, I can't be more help.

I am not sure if we are talking about two separate agreements. Are you asking if a Real Estate Purchase agreement is valid if the realtor fails to give the client a copy of the representation agreement? If that is the case then yes. The real estate purchase agreement will not be invalidated due... View More

You are under no obligation to sign the contract. They could have fired you for not signing the contract, but that is/was their only recourse. What you offered was an illusory promise, " I will get around to signing it". In my opinion, they would spend a lot of money taking you to... View More

That's a very complex question with no clear answer - very fact specific. You will need to hire an appellate attorney.

Unfortunately for you, no. Although, sellers will typically provide a "seller's disclosures" they are not legally obligated to do so. If they did provide a "seller's disclosures" and proactively said that they were not aware of any major changes to the neighborhood... View More

Nearly any legitimate business expense can be discounted against revenues. I think you will need to be more specific on your question. If you are having to spend money to acquire new or specialized equipment or an upgrade of some sorts then absolutely.

I hope this helps.

Hi,

First off, let me say I am sorry for the situation. This can be extremely frustrating especially if there is sentimental value attached to the item.

I am assuming you sold the ring rather than pawned it (you got a loan from them using the ring as collateral). If that is the... View More

This can be difficult to do. Basically, the brother that wants to stay will need to refinance the loan in his own name. If he can't with the current lender, then he may have to look elsewhere. If no one will do it, then the leaving brother is basically stuck until the home sales or it is... View More

Yes,

It is valid, but the question remains who exactly is the party. if the signature line shows a title of the person then it will most likely be counted as a contract with the business entity. If the contract only makes sense if the business entity signed it and not the individual then... View More

hmm good question.

You relief could be calculated by the difference in interest rates based on the two different credit scores multiplied by number of payments you made. It sounds like you have a case, but you really ought to run the numbers to see if it is worth it. I don't think... View More

It sounds like you have a strong case for whatever damages you suffered because of their premature debiting of your account. This could be as little as insufficient funds fees from your bank, filing fees for the law-suit, and attorney's fees if any.

Ambiguities in a contract are... View More

First off your use of the word renter is a bit confusing. When you are explaining please the terms Landlord or owner /Tenant or Lessor/lessee.

From what I surmise this is the story. You (22 years old) rented a camp trailer from a guy and signed a contract that stated that any tenant... View More

There are several concerns I have with this. The first is whether your lease with the owner allows you to sublease to another. This isn't a claim that your sub can really raise, but you should take a good look at it anyway.

In the absence of a contract, if it went to court then it... View More

No, not typically. Sometimes states have these "buyer's remorse" windows for certain types of businesses. Security systems are an example of when states have stepped in and given that right statutorily.

What was the nature of your contract?

Unfortunately, at this point, you do not have standing to demand to see the the trust. You would first need to petition to have a guardianship or a conservatorship over your uncle. Otherwise, if your uncle has capacity he could give you a limited power of attorney to inspect the trust document. I... View More
