My wife works in the Accounting department and was two months into her position before her termination. During this time she was trained by her Supervisor while logged into the system under my wife's credentials. The company received a check for deposit and was processed and approved by my wife's...

Unfortunately, there is no liability here. While your wife's termination is unfair, you live in an at-will employment state, meaning both the employee and the employer may terminate the employment relationship at any time for any reason or no reason at all (as long as the reason isn't...

Never had any issues or disciplinary actions. One week before I was told how amazing I am for creating job for the handicap then next week I get fired for creating a hostel work environment I'm still completely crushed
The statute of limitations to bring an action depends on the legal claim. You should first consult a Wisconsin employment attorney about your situation to determine whether you have a legal claim. If you do, your attorney can help you determine how much time you have left to bring a claim.
Our attorney received a title in 2007 directly from another attorney and never gave it to us. He now says he no longer has the file.
Since you asked the question under the heading of real estate law, I presume that the "title" is a deed conveying an interest in a parcel of real estate. Lawyers are not required to keep files indefinitely. The best practice for lawyers is to set forth their file retention policy in their... Read more »

You can do that if you all agree but keep in mind that by doing so you are converting tax free inheritance money into taxable ordinary income.
They called it a "closing cost". I had offered to pay up to a certain amount of closing costs. What now? This is part of the cost of buyer getting a mortgage.
If the terms of the offer says the Buyer is responsible for the appraisal fee, then the Buyer should pay this cost. You should examine the offer to purchase carefully to be sure this is indeed what it says. It is possible the title company made a mistake in charging this amount to you instead of... Read more »
The revocation will depend specifically on how you were charged. There are mitigating penalties if you are charged with an “underage” OWI as opposed to an “adult” OWI, for lack of better terms. You should call an attorney. Have your citation available. I do provide free consultations, if... Read more »

I highly recommend that you get an attorney on board as soon as possible.
He piled all the barbed wire on my property. He asked my logger to cut my trees that he claims on my property.
You would have a claim against your neighbor for trespass and damages for removal of the fence if it was on your property. There may be additional damages for removal of trees.
The first step in these claims is usually to clearly identify the lot line through a survey that locates the... Read more »
They usually won't give it to the client. And there is no way for them to find you and get it to you before your court appearance. The State will give it to your lawyer and he can let you read it.
I left message after message with osha and lawyers but no one would help me I was started on fire with break cleaner and told the owner of the company and then I was let go just after (January of 2017)
I'm sorry for the ordeal you went through here. Unfortunately, considerable time has elapsed since these things took place. That might be the primary reason your post remains open all this time. You could try to arrange a brief consult with a Wisconsin attorney to discuss what could be done at this... Read more »
Court order states that ex pays me a marital settlement in 3 months or the marital home goes up for sale and profits used to pay settlement. The house sits and the ex is incognito (currently has a nationwide warrant for no child support). He is off the grid. I want to get a court date for contempt... Read more »
This is an interesting and complex question. There are so many more details needed to give you an accurate answer. Strongly recommend consulting privately with an attorney so he/she can review your divorce judgment, financials, etc.
for example if you buy a bottle of syrup from Target when is that bottle of syrup legally yours
This must be a trick question or extreme boredom. The product is yours when you pay the money and get a receipt.
I will have a name change and nothing in the trust addresses this.
The name change is not an issue. If it needs to be addressed at a future time in connection with the sale of trust property it can easily be done at that time. You should consult with an attorney before you remarry to make sure you understand the effect of remarriage on your rights under the trust.... Read more »
Our builder just verified with the village that there is no sewer available and we will need a septic, Can I sue the seller to cover the cost of a perk test and septic system?
Check the Vacant Land Disclosure Report provided to you by the Seller and see if they listed sewer and septic available in the Seller's Vacant Land Disclosure Report. It should be listed on page 5, under item F(6) of the new Vacant Land Disclosure Report that went into use last year. If they listed... Read more »

Stepmother said they were separated not legally though and has a boyfriend how can I get my grandfather's inheritance
You really need to discuss your individual circumstances with a local probate attorney. There are too many missing facts to be able to answer your question. An attorney needs to review your dad's will. If your stepmom refuses to let you see it, and if she had not opened probate, then you can... Read more »
My brother passed away unexpectedly a few days ago. He was in the process of completing a will but did not
complete it. He has two (2) estranged children. I does have assets (condominium/car). He made it known that he wanted me to handle all of his affairs in the event of his death and... Read more »
I am sorry to hear about your brother's passing. Unfortunately, if he did not complete and sign the Will before two disinterested witnesses, it will not be valid in the State of Wisconsin. Based on the facts above, it sounds likely he died "intestate" meaning his assets will pass according to his... Read more »
