i live on private road contractor building house 2 lots down road will not clear road in front of his property is there a law on this road is 30 feet wide
It all depends. A private road, by definitition is a private road. You should check any documents you may have, when you purchased the property, in regards to use of the private road.
I'm on F-1 visa, only have one class left to graduate, I got charged with a drug possession, I went into the diversion program, two weeks after I started the program, I had to go back home to visit, my program officer gave me permission to go visit for two weeks, my question is, will I be denied entry because of the charge?
Additional information
it's a minor misdemeanor, I've had a DUI case before that was dismissed.
I'm using the same visa and I-20 I had used before
Were you granted advance parole to travel? What was the result of the diversion program? Do you have a chance to have the drug possession charge dismissed? If you were granted permission to leave and you successfully completed diversion, you should be granted re-entry.
I had a credit card when I just turned 18. I was not good with finances back then. The collections started in 2001. It went on my credit report in 2002 - As of today, 6/17/2011 I checked my credit report with all 3 bureaus - this debt is no longer showing on my credit report. Is it legal for them to still come after me for this debt or is there some type of statute of limitations? Can they place this back on my credit report?
It was a credit card with a $300 limit - that is now in collections for over $2000!!! What is my next step? I am in the process of cleaning up my debt, I don't want things to resurface.
Thanks
Based on the information you provided, the statute of limitations should have expired. A debt collector is permitted to attempt to collect an expired debt but would violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act if (1) it sued on the debt or (2) represented that failure to pay could result in a lawsuit. I regularly represent consumers with claims against debt collectors. I would be happy to review your situation. As most attorneys who practice in this area, I would review your situation without charge. Please contact me. My contact information is on www.PhilipStern.com.
I'm going through a 26 year divorce if my husband wants to buy me out of our home and I dont want my name on the loan will the judge make him refin it in his name so my name won't on the loan anymore.
In a dissolution of marriage in California, the judge's duty is to (1) make sure the assets and the liabilities of the divorcing couple are divided as equally as possible, but also (2) to modify this equal-division formula to the extent the divorcing couple is able to agree to a not-so-equal split of the community assets and liabilities. The "assets" to be divided would include the home, and the "liabilities" would include the loan.
Taking a co-borrower's name off a loan will require either refinancing with a new loan or a modification to the existing loan. The latter possibility should be discussed with the holder of the note; it may not be as difficult or expensive as one might think; however, now is also a very good time to refinance (at least for most properties). Also, if you have been married for 26 years, there's a good possibility you have a substantial amount of equity.
Most California counties have very helpful counseling services connected with their Family Law court departments that can provide practical suggestions based on the numbers in each situation, which may be a better resource than general answers based on legal theory.
The judge can order him to, but if he does not qualify the judge can't make him. Therefore it is a good idea to prequalify the buying spouse based on post-divorce numbers and put detailed terms and timelines about what APR etc. the loan will be made under. So that the buying spouse can be held in contempt if they then fail to refi on the agreed terms or better.
My daughter and her ex have joint custody of the two girls.The dad has primary but the girls have been living with the mother for 3 years and the dad don't really have anything to do with the girls except a phone call once in a while. Any way my daughter went to court to get primary but when the ex was served in was invaild so the judge gave her primary custody for 30 days. She had him served again the right way but the 30 days have past and she is now waiting for a new court date. But here is the problem, they just found out that one of the kids (10)yrs old has A.D.D. and the dad refuses to let her go on the medication . Can he stop the mother from giving the meds to her?
If under the terms of the separation agreement the parties must agree on medical treatment, then she should file a motion for temporary orders and ask the Judge to order that the child receives the medicine. If the agreement does not require such an agreement of the parties, then the mother can give consent and give the child the medication. If this goes before a Judge, your daughter will need to bring a full set of medical records to court.
Attorney Pransky's advice is absolutely correct
my mother has had a minor stroke which has affected her speech center. She can neither speak coherently nor write. There is an existing notarized power of attorney form with me as attorney-in-fact. how do i activate it so that I can pay her bills via her checking account?
Assuming that your mother lives in North Carolina and that the power of attorney is here, you need to register it at the recorder of deeds. You also need to read the power of attorney. If properly drafted, you should not have to file it with the clerk of court, but if it does not contain language about this, then you must also file a copy with the clerk of court to use it. If you file with the clerk of court, you may added requirements to file an annual accounting.
Even if you don't, its a good idea to start a ledger or journal for your mother's property. In there, you will record what assets your mother has (whether it is land, rental income or other income from a pension or Social Security). You will also record every expenditure you make on behalf of your mother. You especially want to keep good records if there is ever any question by a sibling or relative or anyone else.
Is it lawful to apply for a financial loan for someone else using your power of attorney papers?
Not if you disclose your agency (i.e., disclose to the lender that you are an agent acting on someone else's behalf) and so long as the loan is for the benefit of person who gave you the power of attorney, not your benefit or someone else's benefit. As an agent, you have what is called a "fiduciary duty" to always act in their best interests. Breaching that fiduciary by putting your interests or someone else's interest before theirs is actionable and illegal. Also, the power of attorney would have to grant you that authority to borrow money for them. Powers of attorney can be general or limited. Most general powers of attorney would grant you that power, but you should read the document first to make sure that you do have that authority. Acting beyond the scope of the power of attorney can also be actionable. If you are unsure, ask a lawyer to look over the document and to consult with you before you act.
I just realized that I misread your question. I thought you asked if it was UNLAWFUL. You asked if it was LAWFUL. Yes, it is lawful and legal to sign loan documents for them, so long as you disclose your agency, the loan is for them, and your POA grants that authority, as discussed in my original answer. Sorry. I hope that the "no" at the beginning, rather than a "yes" didn't throw you off too much.
Verbel agreement for $10,000 to ex boyfriend in 2007 would it still be good to go after him for
Only if he defaults, or represents himself and does not have an attorney. Verbal contracts are governed by a 2 year statute of limitations in California. The statute begins running when the contract is breached. I'm not sure what the exact payment terms were, but I hope that you have some proof, other than the verbal part.
I have a family friend (not related to me) who has passed, and he had no kids, or wife. The only person related to him is a brother who lives in Europe. His brother will not come here to do any inheriting because of his poor English. The person who passed completely owned his property. Is there anyway I could probate the property to his brothers name by getting him paperwork and in the process also get some of the property? essentially being a middleman for his brother, but negotiate to receive some of the property or value.
Probate must be opened and a personal representative must be appointed. The personal representative can get compensation as allowed under the estate agreements or as allowed under probate law.
Your friend needs to retain an attorney in Colorado to proceed with the probate. Assuming there are no estate documents, you could propose that you are appointed and make clear your proposed compensation. That can then be approved by the court. You cannot advise this brother on probate matters or law at all or you are breaking the law (unless you are licensed attorney). You cannot probate this at all.
We handle probate cases like this and could assist you. You can receive a reasonable amount of compensation for your time as personal representative, but you could not be paid as an attorney or the like to probate the estate since you would then be practicing law without a license.
Got a million phone calls to harass my home for credit card bill. I work a lot of hours so I personally got only a few. Tried to settle a few times and the plan never worked out. Just found out its in the courthouse docket. Can I still settle?
You can always try to settle. Call the attorney.
Your best bet is to see a consumer lawyer who handles these matters. Almost 100% of the time we win these cases and the consumer pays nothing and in fact many times gets paid damages. Most of the time the attorney's also get paid a fee. See www.ConsumerLawyerHelp.com.
My mother in law just passed away and left the house to my wife and 2 sisters. My wife and children want to live in the home and the sisters want to sell it. Is it illegal to reside in the home? If they call the police can we be arrested?
Any owner of a jointly held property can force a sale of the property in an action for partition. If the two sisters want to sell the property and they actually take your wife to court over this, she will definitely lose. It's best to cooperate and to sell the home unless your wife is willing and able to buy out her sisters.
While Mr. Tillem's answer is legally correct, it doesn't seem to answer your question. The answer is that it is perfectly legal for you to reside in the home as long as your wife owns a share of it. One of the slightly odd quirks of property law is that co-owners of property each have the full rights of ownership as if they were the sole owner when it comes to use and occupancy of the property. So technically all three sisters have a full legal right to occupy or even rent out the house. As you can imagine, this sometimes causes a huge mess if there is not a contract in place among the owners governing how the property will be used.
The solution the legal system has come up with to deal with that kind of mess is the partition action. In old feudal England, the judge would actually divide up the land when co-owners could not agree on how to manage it. That is why it is called "partition." In modern times, with modern subdivision, zoning and land use laws, the courts can't really partition the property, so they order it sold and then the proceeds are partitioned. This is what will eventually happen if your wife and her sisters can't reach an agreement on what to do with the house.
Until then, however, you cannot be arrested for occupying the property.
Can I legally leave the father of my child off of the birth certificate and, if so, will this give me sole custody of my child? If I get sole custody, can I still request child support?
Yes, depending upon the policy of the hospital handling your maternity care, you may be able to leave the name of the father off the child's birth certificate, but that in no way will assure that you will have sole custody of the subject child should the matter of custody be contested.
And, yes, once paternity is legally established for this child, you will be
legally entitled to pursue child support from the father irrespective of whether or not you've been awarded sole custody.
Since I have been court-ordered to pay 100.00 a month in child support arears, will my tax refund still be seized by the court systems and provided to the mother?
Don't be surprised if it is intercepted. It is a very common enforcement method. Best advice is to pay your child support because it is an order from the court. $100 dollars a month is extremely low compared to most people. Good Luck.
My husband and I are teachers for the same district in California. We just adopted a baby from Nevada and our school district says that I do not get any paid leave to bond with our baby. Also, our health insurance through our same district will not insure our baby without a social security card and a birth certificate.
Nevada will not issue a social security card or birth certificate until the adoption is finalized which could take up to a year. Our insurance is only giving us 30 days to enroll her. There are two issues here. The unpaid leave and the uninsured baby. Do we have any legal standing?
You are going to have to have a lawyer review your district's insurance policy and any laws that govern you.
i am 17 years old and got charged for possession of marijuana and paraphernalia in the state of maryland. i got a letter that i have been referred to Frederick County Diversion Program for alleged offense: CDS Possession. What is going to happen with the paraphernalia charge?
Hopefully, if you complete the Diversion Program, the charge will be dismissed.
I work in a three part shift with two other people. One of the responsibilities of my position is to watch the Police Room. In there they normally have food drinks and snacks for all cops to come in and enjoy. We are allowed to consume from the Police Room. I am heavy guy, but I bring my own snacks and food from home because I understand that consuming too much form there would be leeching off the company. I do know that one of the girls in the morning position always takes snacks and food home with her. My boss yesterday got upset at the alarming rate the food was going and instead of talking to all three of us he is only targeting me the fat guy, he is threatening to have me lose my position. Take a pay cut or be suspended .... Is this legal?
Unfortunately it is legal. Stupid personnel decisions are not against the law.
I have a 19 yr old son that was ticketed in Dakota Cty, MN for running a red light and a small amount of marijiuana was found with the term "no remuneration". Does he need an attorney representing him in court and what kind of lawyer. This is a first offense. There are no injuries.
It is always a good idea to consult with a criminal defense attorney. Most attorneys, including me, offer a free initial consultation. Retaining the services of an attorney will ensure that the evidence is properly evaluated and the best possible outcome is secured. In addition, it will give you and your son piece of mind and relieve you and your son unneeded stress. Attorney fees in this matter should be very reasonable, and well worth it.
You mentioned that there were no injuries. I assume that there was an accident. If this is correct the red light violation may have been charged as a misdemeanor. Check to see if the Endangering Life/Property box is checked.
I have rented a house for almost two years with no complaints from landlord, he recently gave me a 30 day notice to move out, it was a hand written and not certified.. Is it possible to get more time to move out if we have no other place to go
Not "legally." Maybe you can work a deal with your landlord.
My grand father had two acres of property.Before he passed away he split the property in half giving me half and his son half ( my uncle) back in 1972.This year my uncle decided to sell his half.We both have deeds to our property.I lived there for ten years and bought another house and have rented the mobile home on the property for over 30 years.We each have a 12 foot drive way to our property.This week my uncle informed me my deed is wrong and in order for him to sell his property there has to be a 50 foot drive way between us and it comes off my side .Says after having a mobile home on my property fo 40 years I have to move it because of the 50 ft. drive way.there is no other driveway mentioned in either deed.My question is,can he just decide to take 50 ft.of my property.Is there some hidden law I am not seeing.I know this sounds like theres something I am leaving out,but Im not.He has a buyer who has signed a contract this week.to include 50 ft.of my property.My grandfather had property surveyed in 1972.is this possible?
Unless a new survey has been done which clearly supports your uncle's claims,
the transaction which he now proposes could be subject to legal challenge. (And, if such has not occurred, you yourself should immediately undertake to have a new such survey completed.)
I was married in cook county, Il. My wife, a native of the UK who has moved back to the UK, is filing for divorce in the UK. Do I have to file for divorce in Cook County to dissolve this marriage union? Will her court filings (if I don't contest) be recognized here in the states?
She can do whatever she wants but the UK courts MAY not have jurisdiction over you or the marriage and if she got a UK divorce without proper jurisdiction and then tried to have it enforced in a US court, the US court MAY not recognize the UK divorce. On the other hand, IF you and she had a marital residence in Cook County you can file here for sure, and if she does not appear you will still have to "prove up" your case but it would be enforceable here. Additional facts could change these answers.
I have been divorced for 8.5 years. My ex husband and I have one child together who is now 10 yrs old. We currently have equal 50/50 joint custody. He has asked for full custody and I am refusing because my child doesn't want it. My ex husband has photographs of me of an adult nature taken back when we were legally married to eachother. He has threatened to send these pictures to my family, expose them publically (we live in a small town) and use them against me in court to gain custody of our child, he has threatened to claim that they are more recent and say that I'm an unfit mother because of the nature of these pictures. My children, including the one we have together have NEVER been exposed to any adult behavior and like I said, those pictures were taken about 11 years ago, some even earlier than that. Is this legally considered blackmail? Is he committing a crime, and if so what if anything can I do about it?
You should get a lawyer first of all. Also, do you have any proof he's blackmailing you? Correspondence or tape recordings of your conversations?
Those photos likely won't be admissible anyway, even if they were recent. Unless the child has actually been exposed to any sort of inappropriate behavior, it isn't relevant.
My son was in a fender bender, but left the scene of the accident. He thought the person was driving away because she turned the corner, so he drove away. He received a call from a state trooper this evening. He called the state trooper back but he wasn't available. What shoulld his first step be.
Just about every criminal lawyer will tell you not to speak to the police, because if he left the scene of an accident where someone was injured, he could be charged with leaving the scene of an accident where someone was injured, and that could be a misdemeanor involving significant fines and possible imprisonment.
On the other hand, the Motor Vehicle Code requires a person involved in an accident to give information concerning license, registration and insurance information to the other driver.
Further, if someone is known to be killed or injured or the other vehicle is not driveable, then your son had a duty to immediately notify the police and provide information.
I am not a criminal lawyer, but I suggest that your son contact a criminal lawyer ASAP. Philadelphia is funny in that the trooper may just want to get your son's version of the acident and will then decide whether to give a citation or make a more serious charge. On the other hand, depending how bad the damage and the extent of the woman's injuries, if any, the trooper may not give a citation. Why take a chance.
Finally, I'm assuming that your son rear-ended this woman or was otherwise at fault. That could make a difference. Also, you have an obligation to report the accident to your insurance company, or they may not cover you if your son is sued.
I wish i could be more helpful, but I do think you should speak to a criminal lawyer,
i got my first wrongful entrustment in sandusky ohio and im also on felony probation can i go to jail
The charge, if under R.C.4511.203 is a first degree misdemeanor with a mandatory suspension of your divers license for up to one year, 0-180 days in jail and a $1000 fine. The vehicle can also be immobilized for up to 30 days. As it is a charge, this could be considered a violation of your probation. If your PO violates you, it will be up to the judge as to what sanctions or penalty he may impose. Short answer: yes, you could go to jail.
I have join custody of a 15 yr old. she has lived with her dad the last 4 months and wants to now come back home. He is not being reasonable, wants her to stay with him in Freeport, told her it's not happening. We did have her physically resident listed as his address for the last 4 months but can I just enroll her in my school district now while I wait for a court date to change her residence? Part of he problem is she needs to be a resident of my town in order to apply for trade school by he end of January.
At the end of the day, judges have a very hard time telling a 15yr old what to do. The udge will be guided by the best interest of the child in any application to the court. You should speak with an attorney before you take any action. Negotiation between attorneys could perhaps resolve this without dragging your child into litigation.

Can a police officer verbally ban someone from a public business without the consent of the business?
If the officer has been given the permission of the business to "keep the peace" or work as security, etc., then he has zero problems banning someone. If someone feels they have been wrongfully banned, they can call the place - do NOT go there - and see if they can be given permission. If not, then obviously the ban was not without the consent of the business.
A company built our house and then filed bankruptcy, we have a 1 yr. warranty do they have to honor it?
Without reading the construction/sales contract and the warranty, it is impossible to evaluate the builders duty, with any certainty. Whether filing for bankruptcy will protect them, will depend upon which chapter, and whether they were bonded. However, many builders purchase warranties, for the buyer, from third party companies that specialize in warranties. If that is the case, the bankruptcy probably doesn't effect your coverage. Also, if the builder was bonded, you may still have an outlet for a warranty claim. If you are still concerned, you should gather your documents, and consult directly with a civil practice attorney in your area.
Good luck
If I got a DUI in Florida and reside in California and I got a bench warranty for unable to show up due to new living location. Would I get arrested if stopped even if it's a different state?
If it is a Misdemeanor, you probably won't get arrested. However, having said that, they would have the power to arrest you, so I wouldn't take the chance. You should hire someone in Florida to take care of the bench warrant and deal with your case in Florida.

Yes, you could be arrested and held for extradition. It may or may not happen, depending upon the policy and attitude of the local PD at the time.
I have a restraining order on my sons dad for domesric violence. I reallt want to take it off now, I filed it on may 8 2012 and they gaved it to me for 3 years. I want to know what I have to do please
This may vary by county, but in Sacramento you would have to file a Request for Order seeking dismissal of restraining order. You may want to seek assistance from the Family Law Facilitator's Office at your county courthouse for direction on the forms.
I have been married for 28 years of my young life. my husband told me yesterday that he is not going to leave me with any thing he is leaving his daughter from his first marriage in charge of him because she knows business and im dumb. The house he is going to sell because he dont want my 2 whore kids to live there. My second child is his. my first is not. he told me he had a little dementia. so im not sure what to do. his children from his first are all laughing in my face. and im stress.i cant even type correctly what do i do
Get a divorce? That will prevent all of the assets from going to the children of the first marriage. And why would you want to stay married to a verbally abusive jerk like this anyway?
And why would you rely on his own assessment of dementia? If he has dementia, then he may or may not be able to make a new will. I would not rely on this and hope that it would invalidate anything.
If he makes a new will and does what he plans and then dies, you could file to take against the will to claim your elective share (assuming you did not execute any pre- or post-nuptial agreements barring you from taking under the will or claiming an elective share). How much your elective share would be I can't say because I don't know know what you and he own, how it is titled or whether it is a probate or non-probate asset.
As I said, I think you may be better off getting a divorce which would entitle you to 50% of the marital assets and possibly alimony. You should go and get a consult with a family law attorney right away to review your situation.
My daughter was in an accident. She was driving and her boyfriend, (now ex) who was drunk grabbed the wheel and slammed into the car next to them. Does she tell the insurance company that he did this? Will the car and the car she hit be covered if she does?
Your daughter needs to be honest about what happened. She was negligent and your insurance should cover that. The coverages under your insurance should be in effect. Whether they will cover the damages depends on the extent of damage and the amount of coverage.
This answer assumes the accident happened in Florida. While your daughter is not under any obligation to volunteer any information, she does have a contractual obligation to cooperate with her own insurance company and to truthfully answer any questions her insurer may have. There is not enough information provided to determine how the insurance coverage issues will ultimately work out. Your daughter should arrange a free consultation with a Florida licensed personal injury attorney.
I had A small claims trial held, and the plaintiff literally "lied" on the stand, and I after A little checking can absolutely prove it. The problem being that the 10 days for appeal have passed, is there any way that I can still open this case and prove that he lied on the stand?
Although there may still be things that you can do to reopen this lost trial case, your time is very short and your opportunities probably limited to one final attempt. You should therefore make sure that you do not ruin what could be your final opportunity to correct this apparent injustice and hire an experienced litigation lawyer the second time around. Since you are seeking legal advice online in a public forum while you are still in trial posture (usually a very bad idea), I am guessing that you were unrepresented in this matter, and you can now see how well that worked for you last time. Unless you want history to repeat itself, you should strongly consider doing something different this time by being represented. Of course, even if you fail, you may have a second chance to limit the harm caused by this judgment against you by discussing the issue with an experienced bankruptcy lawyer. Please be aware that my responses to you in the public web forum do not make me your attorney and that I am not representing you or taking any action on your case. These answers are intended for public educational use only and may contain lawyer advertising materials. Regardless of this, however, you are still welcome to contact me during business hours at my in Racine if you still have questions.
I have a judgement against me for $2,335. I have a subpoena to appear in small claims court today for examination of financial records. I filed Chptr 7 Bankruptcy in US Bankruptcy Court yesterday and went to the Small Claims Clerk and gave her the stamped front page of the petition with the case number. She also required of me to give her a notorized "Affidavit of Bankruptcy". I quickly obtained this additional document and gave it to her yesterday as well. I asked her if I still have to honor the subpoena and appear for the hearing. She said she can't give me legal advice. So that is my question: Do I have to appear today at small claims court and produce financial documents - under these circumstances (bankruptcy in effect)?
the bankruptcy stay will stop all state court litigation. You do not have to attend the hearing. You should I fax a copy of the bankruptcy receipt to the creditor's attorney.
Good morning,
I will like to know what steps/procedures I, as a permanent resident, need to take before getting married and bringing my wife to the US?
Thank you
After you get married, you will need to petition for your wife's green card. There are several forms that you will need. Before you proceed, an immigration lawyer should evaluate the entire case to make sure that your wife is eligible for the green card and meets all admissibility requirements. Your lawyer will also evaluate whether or not it would be best for you to become a naturalized U.S. citizen first, in which case your wife would be considered an "immediate relative" and would not be subject to the second preference priority dates (for lawful permanent residents who are petitioning for certain relatives) as set forth in the Department of State Visa Bulletin. In other words, the processing time is faster for an immediate relative.
Since you are not married yet, and depending on your timeline, you might instead want to consider the fiancee visa route. Feel free to call to schedule a consultation to discuss your options.

My son was playing soccer when he stepped in a hole and tore his acl. Found out that the league he was playing in had no insurance. How do I get reimbursed for all my out of pocket expensives that my insurance is not covering?
You can initiate an action against the owner of the property (the county, school district, Park, etc). You better have witnesses and photos of the hole and an expert indicating the dangerous condition of the field for its intended purpose. It is a long, arduous and expesive process depending on the county you live in.
if a business gets audited and finds that they overpaid their employees for a certain amount of time, do the employees have to pay them back?
You should consult a business attorney if you are the business. This is not as easy as it sounds. In some cases the money cannot be returned. Unfortunately, without knowing more, it is impossible to tell how this situation would be resolved.
Jan, 2007 my son was driving my car and hit someone from behind. I contacted my insurance company only to find out that they had excluded him form my npolicy with out my knowing. Never hearing from anyone we thought the man just went through his own insurance comany once he found out my insurance company would not pay. a couple of months ago we received a letter not quite sure to whom it was from askiing for $4900 in damages to the insurance company however, we didn't respond. This morning at 830am we received a phone call from someone wanting to know if this was where me and my son lived so he could serve us with subpoenas. Can they still legally do this?
Within 4 years of the incident, a lawsuit must be filed for property damages. So you need to find out [may be able to go onto the court website to look up the case] when the suit was filed. service of the complain can be made more than 4 years later. Contact your insurance company and "tender defense of the claim" to them. If your son was originally covered under the policy and they did not tell you he had been removed you might have an argument that coverage still exists, that they are equitably estopped from denying coverage.
My father was born in Greece and now lives in the US. He inherited property in Greece when his father died 40 years ago. The town claimed his property under "imminent domain." It has been tied up in the courts for the past 40 years - either free the property and release it to my father or pay him for it. The final hearing was due to take place 2 months ago, but the Greek judicial system is on strike with no end in sight. Is there any other course my father can take? He has waited 40 years for his day in court and his health is failing. Thanks.
You will need to ask this of a lawyer familiar with Greek law. Laws in the various countries can be so different that any answer you get from a lawyer here, unless they have practiced in Greece, is no better than an answer you would get from a random person on the street.

Almost anything that was legally obtained and that is relevant to the point being argued can be presented to the court; taped telephone conversations where the other side did not know they were being taped can not be used. Phone call logs are often used to show when a call was made if at all. But you need to be able to show that the records are accurate [often requires an employee of the company producing the log to testify to that or the person receiving the call to testify as to its nature, but as to the later the testimony of the person is the best evidence and the written document is normally used to either refresh memory of to cross-examine the other party].
I am married but seeking a divorce. If I put an ad in the news paper to divorce my wife and for 30 days she does not respond or refute the claim, am I legally divorced at that time?
No. It is nowhere near that simple. She needs to be served with a copy of the divorce petition and a summons. That gives her 20 days to file an answer and if she does not a default can be entered. The best thing for you to do is hire an attorney to do these things for you. It can become very confusing and very complicated.
I am Under 18. I Cannot or Do Not Want to Live with My Parents any Longer. Do I Have Other Options Besides Emancipation?
Unfortunately not.
Need more info - why don't you want to live with your parents - are they abusive - if so, report them to the Dept. of Children and Family Services. Then let the Dept. find you a place to stay until you graduate.
Secondly, will your parents allow you to say with another family member. You do not say what your age is and if you are under 17 your first option above is your best move.
temp disability payments
I have been on work comp going on 27 months. the ins comp stoped paying me but im only 6 months post op. I have not been declared p&s yet by my doc. and wont be for at least 6 mon. should i still be getting paid by ins carrier.
Re: temp disability payments
for any injury post reform, 2005, you are allowed only 104 weeks of TTD, then you are on your own. It is hard to belive such legislation passed because most back surgery requires at least a year for recovery.
Re: temp disability payments
California law used to provide for a maximum of 240 weeks [about 60 months] of temporary disability; ask the WC carrier why they stopped paying you. Has any other Dr. said that you are permanent and stationary, released you to return to your prior work, are you getting vocational rehabilitation benefits instead, etc? It would not be unusal to be p&s within 6 months of surgery. If they have stopped TD payments without a legal reason, you can get a 10% penalty.
on a quit claim deed in michigan, if one party does not live up to a verbal agreement after signing is there any way to make the deed void and reclaim the land
No. That's us specifically excluded because of the statute of frauds. Real property agreements must be in writing.
For the last couple years (even longer probably) my company has been presented with various complaints about manager misconduct, harassment, intimidation, USERRA vilations, retaliation, and so on and so forth. Whenever I have been a part of those doing the coplaining, they usually try and turn it around to make me look bad. Our HR department is a joke, often times being the major contributors to the cover up of the complaint. What legal recourse would there be in this type of situation?
Side note: the company I work for is subcontracted by the government, so obviously they have reason to cover up complaints, in order to keep the contract.
This is not a legal ethics and professional responsibility question. This category has to do with the ethical obligations, regulations and laws that govern lawyers and the legal profession. You need to ask your question under the employment law category.
can my landlord prohibit me to have overnight guest?
Your rental agreement should cover this. With some folks who rent a room in a person's house, there might be such restrictions. In a regular apartment, though, it seems unreasonable. Of course, if the overnight guest routinely stays for weeks at a time, that would be a different story.
If I am a father who pays child support but was never married, how do I get visitation rights?
Get an attorney, like myself, to file a Complaint to Establish Custody and Visitation.
Can a person identify the person that attack them if they only got to see their eyes, because they were wearing a mask, is this enough to evidence to convict them.
Of course it is. People have been convicted in NC even when they were actually innocent.
I have a dear friend who has discovered child pornography on her husband's laptop computer. If she turns him in, what happens to their house/property? Does it become hers?
His criminal acts have nothing to do with property rights. All of his property, separate or joint remains his until a family law court says otherwise. Turning him in for child pornography will be dealt with by the criminal court.
in the state of il is it legal to be tried in the court without being arrested for the crime
yes
Hello,
I'm selling a business (assets), and I just learned that some judgement search and liens will be done.
Are these search under my personal name or under the business name?
Thank you.
Good Afternoon,
Usually when selling a business the searches will be done on your business and personal. Depending on the business attorney doing your business closing, they will be able to make the judgment on whether it affects the said business. Most of the searches that will be done are public searches such as UCC liens, Federal and Florida Judgment Lien Searches, etc.
I do recommend if you do not have an attorney, to contact a Business Law Attorney who has conducted Business Closings before.
I hope this helps.
Thanking you,
Had a car repo. and was told by the bank that the loan was a Custom loan and they could take action on my fathers house which was a cosigner.... Can this be done? What is a custom loan? Look at my paper work and it says nothing about a custom loan...
Never heard of a custom loan. However, as a co-signer you farther is equally as responsible as you are on the loan. The bank likely not be able to seize your father's house but they can get a judgment on him and place a lien on the house.
In Pennsylvania, if I sign a residential lease with the option to purchase property at a later date, am I able to assign my rights to that lease/option to another possible tenant/buyer for a fee?
It depends on whether your option contract includes a clause allowing assignability
My ex has sole custody of my son and is living with a registered sex offender, I am a married and stable active duty soldier stationed in Washington state my ex is in Texas where the child custody agreement is, what are the odd of being able to get custody of my son?
If you can prove he is a registered sex offender, then your odds are very good. I would talk to a family law attorney in your area tomorrow. If you don't know one look on this website and on www.avvo.com. Good luck!
No attorney can guarantee an outcome, however, with a qualified family law and custody lawyer, who you allow the funds to do what needs to be done, then, pretty good, so long as you are not deployed.
Please let us know if you would like to proceed.

I took out a loan using my car as collateral, I still have the title to the car. Can I sell the car.
Sure, as long as you pay off the loan.
Once you pay off the loan, sure. If you do it now you not only will get sued, but because you will have committed a deliberate crime, you could go to jail.
You need to carefully review the documents creating the secured interest - there should be a note and security agreement which refers to the collateral, i.e. the car.
If you have the car title and sell the car, you had better keep paying the car loan. If you stop then the lender is going to be mighty peeved at you. It is a crime to conceal or dispose of secured property which is subject to a loan.
I am surprised the lender agreeing to this as collateral did not either list themselves as lienholder on the title or ask to hold the title as security.
can i quit claim rental house to my niece
Yes, and there are tax consequences you should explore before doing that.
3 loans w/1 bank-mortgage, line credit + car. went in person to pay off car-told teller car-year, etc. She gave acct. #-put on check w/Final Payment in large letters. Waiting for title that never came. Learned it had been applied to line of credit, NOT car. Need title now son needs car and what means for line credit?
Contact bank and straighten it out.
I am thinking of opening a business in Florida with my daughter. She will likely file for divorce in the near future. What effect will that have on the business? How will it effect me and will the husband have any claim to the business?
Her interest in this business will be marital interest if opened during the marriage and she uses her time and effort or any income from the marriage to fund or run the business.
If the business is opened during the marriage it is presumed a marital asset. Not to say that you should not open the business, however make sure any corporate docs do not include the other spouse.
Dear LawGuru,
I've been suffering through very bad management at workplace lately. As much as I would like to talk to Human Resource or my bigger boss, I can't. They are all buddies. My last resort will be looking for another job. Is there anything that I should do legally?
Thanks,
TKTL
Unfortunately, your last resort is probably your best resort. You didn't say how the bad management affects you personally, other than, perhaps, by making your job more difficult. If you are preparing a resume or corresponding with other potential employers, do not use company computer equipment, e-mail, postage, or letterhead to do so, and don't tell anyone at your present job about what you are doing. Do not even use your own personal e-mail on company time. Keep everything separate. If you have evidence of the bad management that might defend you against some potential claim against you later on, you might consider now how you could have access to it when you no longer are working at the company.
My Mom is in on Medicaid and in a nursing home. There was a leak in the room above hers and when she got up from bed she slipped on the water and broke her ankle which required surgery. She has dementia which has gotten worse since surgery and we're still not sure if she can walk. Can we sue? The nursing home gets all their income and Medicaid pays the rest.
Based on the facts you've presented then yes you can almost certainly sue the nursing home. But the details are important; please call the office and we'll discuss this further.
My grandfather goes in for dialysis 3 times a week. Monday Wednesday, and Fridays. Last week Friday Oct. 4th he went in for his the normal procedure of dialysis and when my mom went to pick him up, his bicep part of the arm was swollen to the size of a melon. This was not normal, never has happened before. They said to just ice it, and it will not cause any problems moving forward. My grandfather had said that the nurse that performed the dialysis procedure put him in a lot of pain, and he said that the nurse did a lot to his arm that was out of the normal. Later on that night my grandfather informed me that it was still causing him lots of pain, and discomfort. It also started causing him to be disoriented, and causing him to feel light headed, so my mother took him to the ER. They ran tests such as an EKG, ultrasound, and CT scans, and later informed us that he had an irregular heart beat and it was caused from his arm. I wanted to know what I can do legally with the hospital legally. Because of this issue, it has caused my 84 year old grandfather to have to be in a hospital overnight and have to be in a rehabilitation center. This is something we should not be going through, and is all because the dialysis center did not perform their job correctly.
The liability portion of your grandfather's case maybe Ok. However, the damages doesn't look like sufficient for an action.
I got a owi in 2005 (romulus) and another in 2006 (Inkster), I completed all my probations long ago and got my license back...all of that....I was wondering how I would go about getting those expunged considering i will be getting my bach. degree next summer an im afraid those may cause a conflict. Also with that being said will the probation im on right now with a MSL-7411 (ends feb 21012) , affect the outcome of the expungment?
Driving misdemeanors are specifically excluded by the expungement statute. These will not go away. Tim Klisz
Drunk driving convictions cannot be expunged. BTW if you're pulled over in the future and test positive for drugs (the police have your prior 7411 in the on-board computer), you will be charged with a felony. OUID is zero tolerance.

Can I go to housing Court in NYC to evict a roomate in an illegal sublet?
I'm rent out rooms in my apartment in Manhattan. I have a roomate that technicaly endangered a child. I would like him to be removed but this is an illegal sublet and I don't have to right to kick him out. If I take this case to court will my illegal sublet be exposed and I'll be evicted? Will the Judge thow out my case? Will the court alert my landlord of an illegal sublet? If the roomate retaleates and alerts my landlord, can the landlord immedately evict me?
Q. Can I go to housing Court in NYC to evict a roomate in an illegal sublet?
A. The general answer is yes.
The court will not uphold illegal agreements. However, the court has equitable jurisdiction to evict a tenant even if the tenant is occupying the apartment illegally. The Judge will not throw out your case.
Q. If I take this case to court will my illegal sublet be exposed and I'll be evicted?
A. Maybe. The Judge would have the right to refer the matter to NYC HBD. This is especially true if the Judge deems the rentals danagerous to the occupants of the apartment. As a result, your landlord may receive a summons for a violation.
Q. If the roomate retaleates and alerts my landlord, can the landlord immedately evict me?
A. Yes, after notice is given.
Mike.
I am charged with a dwi in tx..good driveing .no b.a.c. test polite vidio what are dismissal chances
It depends on a number of factors. How are the driving facts? What was the reason for the stop? How was the performance on the field sobriety tests? Were they administered correctly? What is the officer's experience? Were the proper statutory warnings given? Was an administrative hearing requested? Subpoena issued for officer? Is the video at the scene or at the station or both? These are just a few of the questions an attorney thinks about when evaluating a case so it would be impossible to tell you, with the information provided, what your chances might be.
The jurisdiction also plays an important part. Counties treat DWI very differently.
So I would strongly suggest you hire yourself an attorney and go from there.
I was married to a girl for 2 years. She didn't work most of those 2 years and has filed for disability. She chased me out of the house with a weapon and was taken to a mental hospital. During that time I left to KS to stay with my brother. My main question is will I have to pay her alimony?.
Probably not. In Pennsylvania the courts rely on Equitable Distribution to put the parties in a position to move forward in their lives.

after getting something notarize can you go back and ask for proof that you did get it notarized there
Your post makes no sense as posted. What exactly happened and why would you make such a strange request?
I was exposed to lead as a child in picher, ok and now i have medical problems that can be caused by lead poisoning and i could end up in a wheelchair. i'm a single mother of two and this scares me! i'm telling my doctor about this on my next apointment so he can test the lead levels in my blood! if its high could this be a case?
It depends on when your last exposure was (unless you were exposed to a ultrahazardous material, in which case you have a case under CERCLA either way). If it was recently, yes, either way. If you want help in this matter, please email.
A friend and I have been working on some potentially lucrative software for about a year, him having quit his job to work on it full time, and me staying employed. We are at a point where the funds we'd set aside for his living expenses are coming to an end, and we have another few months of testing and deployment ahead. We are looking for ways to solicit angel investors and wonder if we can do this legally by selling 100 "investment units" that split 2% of the sale price of our company assuming a suitor is found. It is possible that investors could lose all their investment, but not likely. Is this legal as long as all risks, and intended payback amounts are known up front? Thank you.
Until the new Crowdfunding Act is fully enabled, you will need to comply with very specific SEC and state blue-sky laws regarding soliciting investment capital. These regulations can be quite complex, so I would strongly suggest you retain a qualified attorney to advise you, as the penalties can be severe. If you would like to discuss your situation further with me, feel free to contact my office.
You cannot do this as you discuss. It would violate state and federal law. The investors can also demand all of their money back plus interest if you try to make an offer as you describe.
Speak with a Colorado business attorney before you ever consider getting investors as the rules are complicated and the consequences for violating those rules are severe.
Also, the new crowdfunding act, even when implemented, may not be effective for you and there are other routes that should be considered. Most private investors are solicited under Reg D Rule 506 and that will become even more so after the JOBS Act provisions are implemented.
Hire a Colorado attorney soon. In addition to any investor issues, you should have an attorney to advise you on the best business entity and to draft your shareholder or operating agreement. This is critical.
If my rent was stolen from the aptarments office drop box and the money order was cashed and forgered and the money order company can not give me a refund can the apartment complex still make me pay they stolen rent?
Yes. You are responsible for delivery of the rent. Your dropping it in a box is not delivery. You could file a police report and perhaps get a reimbursement from the Attorney General victims assistance fund. Contact law enforcement and ask them about talking to a victim advocate. But, until you are reimbursed, you do still owe the rent to the landlord. Your theft is not his fault or his problem and doesn't relieve you of any obligation to pay rent. Good Luck.
Ms. Bates-Buchanan is on the money with her answer. You must still pay.
With more facts, I think there is an argument to make that the delivery was made to the landlord and the risk of loss was on them. Need to see your lease to make sure and know the procedures provided for payment.
husband abandoned myself and our children how do i file for divorce and custody
Please contact your local family law court and attend their divorce paperwork clinic. You would benefit from meeting with an experienced family law attorney to assess your legal options.
I agree with Ms. Kock. She is talking about the family law facilitators' office and they are generally very good.
Good luck
I had an employee text me with insubordination messages.
What is your question? Do you want to know whether you can fire this employee based on these text messages?
In the state of California, can a property be sold as a short sale without the HOA lien first being paid? The buyer is financing the purchase and there is a recorded HOA lien on the unit for unpaid monthly dues. The amount of the lien is $5,000. Can this property transfer title without the lien being paid? If the buyer is able to somehow close escrow assuming their bank makes the loan, does the lien follow the property or does it get wiped away? This is not a trustees sale, it is a short sale.
You can short sell it, but the property is still going to be subjct to the lien if the lien is not paid. The HOA would still have the right to foreclose the lien, and the buyer would have to pay to avoid losing the property.
A few months ago i had a lady cut me off causing me to rear-end her. I have proof that she was not straight and did not have he vehicle in the lane. She also did not have a driver's license and they are trying to pin the wreck on me. My attorney wont do anything. What can i do?
Who is "they" who are trying to pin the wreck on you? Police? Is it a civil suit?
If your attorney won't do anything, you need to think about hiring a different attorney. The Dallas/Ft. Worth area has 10,000 lawyers.
I was offered a job being a driver (driver ONLY) for ladies in the entertainment industry. What legal pitfalls are there in this situation?
I'm not sure what you mean. You can drive around women. What is illegal about that?
Ohio. 12 mos. lease, this is my 8th mos. This mos(may) will be the 3rd time I will have to pay a $50 late fee that per my contract is charged after the 7th. She has asked me to leave.My contract does not give a date when late rent will no longer be accepted, it simply states after the 7th $50. Posted a 3 day notice on sat.(which should expire midnight tonight), and she went to my house yesterday and entered the premises to see if I had left because she could not reach me by phone or email(she had no problem leaving a note yesterday stating she entered the house) she came by during work hours...she stated she couldnt see in the windows because the blinds were closed and no car in the driveway..of course there wasnt a car in the driveway, i was working. If she was in question as to whether or not I was still there(because my phone&internet;are off), she should have left a note AFTER the legal 3 days had expired..not entered the property. She needs to go through court proceedings before she can enter the house correct? I know she trespassed&also;insinuated in her note the 3 days had passed(if she counted wknds). Can she evict if I pay rent+late fee next week.
In Ohio, if the tenant can show the court that there has been a pattern of late rent payments which the landlord has accepted without protest in the past, such that the tenant has come to rely upon that course of conduct being accepted, the landlord is not allowed to suddenly pull the rug out from underneath the tenant's feet when the tenant is next late.
In order to overcome this course of conduct contrary to the lease (the late payments being accepted without protest), the landlord would have had to write the tenant a letter of strict compliance, telling the tenant that paying the rent late in the past was all fine and good, but from now on, the rent needs to be on time as per the lease. Then, if the tenant is late, then the tenant can be evicted.
Paradoxically, the more the tenant has been late on the rent, the better it is for the tenant. You have only been late a few times, but it may be enough for the defense to the eviction to work. You should offer to pay the rent plus the late fee as soon as possible and arrange to have a witness there so that the witness can tell the court that you offered the rent and the landlord refused it.
If you need help fighting this, then you can email me at [email protected]/* */
Is it possible to have these taken off my record?

It may be possible for some or all of these convictions to be expunged, if it has been long enough since your last conviction. You should consult directly with a criminal defense attorney, in your area.
Good luck
Hello!
Need some help with roommate legal issue.
I've signed a one year lease with my 2 roommates, but things are very complicated between us and I decided to move out. I gave them 30 days notice and I also notified the landlord that I am leaving.
They don't want to give me my deposit back. I understand that they don't have money now, but I told them to give it back to me when the lease ends. One of my roommates also has her boyfriend living there without the landlord knowing.
Do I have any options or I will loose the money?
I would have to know what the agreement between you and the roommates is. It sounds as you have breached the lease, leaving them to pay 100% and not 67% of the rent and they are keeping your security deposit to cover part of their damages of having to pay more rent.
I live in Virginia, i bought a used 2009 elantra yesterday and i was not informed that their new cars have a 2.9 to 4.9% apr no matter what credit you have. so i bought a used car thinking that would help on my pocket book and when i traded my car in i got 10k toward the car minus the amount owed on the traded in car got me under 6000. i got a 16% apr contract and the car doesnt even lock when i got it home. how many days if any do i have to take back the car?
No such days at all in the situation described unless your purchase contract specifically allows for such a return.
Hi. I was recently attacked at bar by a known person how appears on tv as a general manager of a car dealership. He smacked me, knock me down to the floor and proceed to choke me. In turn I scratched him as I defended myself. The next day I had a strange "mobb guy" call me and show up to my house and threaten me so that I wouldn't go to the police or say anything to anyone. There is more but Thats the gist of it. I have recorded conversations, pictures And witnesses. How can I got about this situation and who can help me best with this case?
You would need to make a complaint at your local police station asap.
It is advisable to pursue things criminally first but you are also entitled to start a civil action.
If I solicited someone in the U.S.A (we both live here in U.S.A) to invest in my company abroad and the money is lost. Can I be sued for that?
Yes.
Can a retired police officer verbally identify himself as a "police officer" in the course of trying to stop a crime in progress from happening?
No
I live in the state of VA and I own a firearm, am I committing a crime by having it in the house with my gf who is diagnosed Bi polar and committed a felony as a juvenile ? I keep it in a lockbox and out of her control
No, not in my opinion.
I recently applied for a secured loan. I did a background check on the company using google and the BBB, I also contacted the attorney general's office in n.y where the company is. They emailed me a contract and advised me to show it to my lawyer. Because I have no property they want (6) month of payments or $932 before they release the funds. I know it is illegal to charge fees and so do they I was told this payment goes to our principal. I am not sure if this is legal and what recourse I have if I send the money(credit card) and no loan is deposited into my account. What is your advice? The company is International Capital trust
Frankly, I have never heard of such an arrangement. To get a secured loan, there has to be collateral, and it seems as if they want to check on your ability to make the loan payments. The problem is, if you fail to make these advance payments on time, you might not be able to get that money back. You really should show the contract to a lawyer to get his advice and his explanation and opinion of the contract.

This company sounds like a typical scam and based upon the above websites, I would think that you would throwing your money away to to do business with them.
Even if the contract is totally legit, the company behind it seems to be a fraud. As I said, they are simply out to get your money. I would stay away.

my vehicle was impounded sunday by baldwin park, ca police an unauthorized driver was cited for driving on suspended license and released without arrest. a 30 day hold has been placed on it since lt cowan claims a citatioin constitutes a promise to appear and arrest complying with cvc 14602.6. how is this legal and what can i do to procede
A person can be cited and released, perfectly legal. "An unauthorized driver" had the keys to your car? Had you called police to report your car was stolen?
In Michigan, is there anything I can do to have my first speeding ticket show up on my insurance? Ticket was for 5 over on a country road.
Yes, hire a local attorney and head to court. This can be saved.
Is is legal for an attorney to take a probate case and take 28 months to get it done and then to claim that he did a good job when only two assets were involved and the one, a house I could no longer hang on to do to the delay. He did however present his bill at the closing which he did not attend as he did want to delay it further AND I called and end to it. Claims that he was to receive his fee from the sale of the house and I did not want to sell the house but had no choice,but in the beginning if he had gotten the payoff I could have afforded todo so.
It is legal. In an Estate the fees are subject to Court approval. The place and time to challenge them is before the Court approves them. The timing of the Estate itself is not necessarily the attorney's complete fault as the system can be slow these days. Not sure why the 28 months made a difference on preserving the asset or not. More acts are needed to assess the circumstances.
The property and the estate were handled and owned by two different people. One sold the property, the other in charge of the estate. Since the transfer of the property to me it has been 90 days. Does the estate trustee of the said estate have any rights to any property left that was still on the property when it was transferred to me? Do they have any legal standing if any of it was sold after 30 days of the transfer?
This is a bit confusing because you use the term 'property' referring to real estate and then 'property' referring, I presume, to household goods or items. If the household goods were listed as part of the estate, then they remain part of the estate. Real estate that was transferred to you include fixtures but not goods, unless the will or trust says otherwise.
I completed 10 week course now they say i must take a three day a week course i travel and cant do was convicted for first offense but had a dui twenty years ago so vasap says im habituil what are my rights
Not enough information to answer (in my opinion). The status of
being classified as an habitual offender normally requires at least
three or more convictions within a 10 year period.
what does short time to file after note is fully accelerated mean and is there a time limit to file charges on grand theft for none payment of morgage agreement
Huh? Document would need to be reviewed in its entirety to answer the question about what a time frame is appropriately under the agreement. Charges for grand theft for non payment of mortgage? I dont even understand this. A civil debt does not yield criminal charges usually.
An ambulance side swiped the back of my vehicle after speeding up on purpose while I passed on the right side. We weren't approaching an intersection, there were no pedestrians or bicyclist and we were on a residential street with a wide enough with for me to pass safely while in view. My entire front end of the car had proceeded in the front of the ambulance but out of spite he sped up there for causing an obvious motion looking scrap on the tail end of the left side of my car. After the police took my license and gave me a citation. Is a lawyer needed and can this case be won.
What were you doing passing an ambulance on the right?
My unmarried uncle died intestate in NJ. Three bankbooks & his life insurance policy were left in my name only. I'm also one of the five heirs sharing in his remaining estate. Are the monies I already have from the (BB & life insurance)included as part of his estate/probate? Would the total amount of these monies be deducted from my 1/5 share of the remaining assests?
Thank you for your help & assistance.
I am presuming that what was left is in your name only or was either registered in joint names with your uncle or in another type of account, such as POD or ITF account. If this is the case, while the accounts belong and have been inherited by you under the account registration, they are still included in his estate for inheritance tax purposes, but are not deductible in calculating your share of the probate (under the Will) estate. Thus, if I have a correct interpretation, you get the accounts plus 1/5 of the estate. This would also be the case if the Will left them to you, as specific bequests under the Will, and, in addition, the Will left you 1/5 of the residuary estate (what is left after specific bequests). This response is made without seeing either the account registrations or the Will language. If the actual facts differ from my presumption, my response could be different.
I am under a FMLA leave, for migraines. The leave is specified as intermittent. Work is requiring me to have a dr's not for every absence. this requires me to go to urgent care or dr even when i just need time to take 1 hour for my meds to kick in. This seems like a backdoor requirement to make me take longer than I need.
You'll have to see if you can get your treating doctor to write a detailed report specifying that intermittent time off or 'accommodation' is required at 'your discretion' to treat and deal with your incapacitating paid and 'inability to work' during attacks. If presented to the company, with clear request for 'accommodation' when needed, they are supposed to do so reasonably. If they refuse after that, then you may be in a position to bring a legal claim for violation. If all that occurs, then feel free to contact me for the legal help you'll need.
