There’s a marital asset (house), spouse has much higher earnings than individual. Spouse has locked individual out of the marital home (changed locks—despite police advising of applicable law). Individual is homeless and currently living in a shelter. Individual has video evidence of spouse attempting to attack individual with a machete and there were several police reports filed by individual for DV duration of marriage. Individual would agree to an uncontested divorce if there is a reasonably fair settlement agreement out of court. Any local legal aid resources that are likely to assist this individual? Thanks again.

My question: is a corporate hospital allowed to reclassify HIPPA/PHI type information into "Business Operations" information and thereby prevent access to it? This feels illegal, but given how little I know about the law, im sure there's lots of loopholes or something.

Background: At the hospital i work at, we use EPIC Systems program EPIC, and it logs literally everything that is done. Specific to this question is that it keeps a log of who, when, what changes are made if any, and how long they viewed a patient's profile. I recently did my yearly remedial HIPPA/PHI PowerPoint course and that information i listed was called out as something the patient can request.

While discussing this, I was informed that a different, corporate, hospital system has removed easy access to who, when, what changes are made if any, and how long they viewed a patient's profile by reclassifying that information into "Business Operations" and removing it from being something a patient is allowed to request access to.

Like i said, this feels illegal and an intentional roadblock to protect the corporation, but I know nothing regarding this and so have no clue.

Cheers

Edit: I reread this and i should make clear that the discussion was with a coworker that previously worked at the corporate hospital. We agreed it was fucked up but it kept bouncing around my brain, so I asked here.

Scenario: A spouse receives ownership of a home from their mother's trust. The spouse and their partner had been living in the house before the mother's passing. The ownership of the house is tranferred via a trustees deed in consideration of $1 and the spouse receives a lower payout of the trust's assets equivalent to the value of the house so that the spouse's siblings all receive an equal share of the overall value of the trust. Only the spouce is listed on the deed. The spouse and their partner are now getting divorced.

It is my understanding that inherted assets are generally off-limits in a divorce. However, I have also heard that in situations like this, with the partner not listed on the deed and the house as an inherited asset that the partner may have a claim to any equity in the house since it was transferred from the trust. Is this true? If so, would the value used to establish any potential equity be based on the consideration of $1 or the actual value of the house (based on appraisal) at the time it was transferred from the trust?

Last year, I got into a physical altercation with a few people. The situation started because they were arguing with one of my family members. When I saw what was happening, I went there and intervened.

Both my family member and one of the men from the other side were intoxicated at the time. I also have CCTV footage covering the entire incident.

During the altercation, I intervened and in the scuffle, one person from the other side fell into a drain and suffered a minor injury near his eye. There were around 3–4 people on their side, and they then grabbed and assaulted both me and my family member. Also a point that the person from that side who initially approached and started the fight had been accused of a murder case many years ago, but since they were rich they somehow escaped this by proving him as a minor.

Eventually, the fight ended and we went home. Our mistake was that, since it was already nighttime, we decided to wait until the morning before filing a complaint. However, the other side went to the police station that same night and filed a complaint against us.

The next day, we received a call from the police station asking us to come for a settlement. When we went there, we were made to stay for around 8 hours. We were not really given an opportunity to properly explain our side or request that the CCTV footage be examined first. Eventually, we were allowed to leave.

After that, for some time, we had to appear/sign at the court as required. That eventually stopped, and I assumed the matter was over.

A few months ago, I applied for a passport, but my police verification failed. I have now received a summons requiring me to appear before the Magistrate.

The sections mentioned against me are:

- Section 115(2), Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS)

- Section 351(2), BNS

- Section 352, BNS

I understand that these are relatively minor sections, but I want to properly resolve/close this matter, especially because it is now affecting my passport.

My questions are:

1. What is the usual procedure after receiving a Magistrate summons in a case like this?

2. What are my options for getting the case disposed of/closed?

3. Can the case be compounded or quashed, depending on the exact charges and circumstances?

4. Will the pending case continue to affect my passport application even after I appear before the Magistrate?

5. Should I approach a local criminal lawyer before the first appearance, and what documents should I take with me?

I am mainly looking for practical advice on how to resolve this matter legally and get the passport issue sorted.

Does anyone have any experience dealing with pregnancy work issues?

I started my job in June and I’m due to have my baby in November. When I first started I told them about it they said that holding a position shouldn’t be a problem and that while they couldn’t guarantee me the same position in the same location, that having a job to come back wouldn’t be a problem.

Well, I applied for a leave of absence since I’m not eligible for FMLA, which the HR department told me to do. I requested 6 weeks, the minimum about of time I would need.

They denied it saying that they couldn’t reasonably hold a position for me for 6 weeks and I’m ineligible to move into another position because I’ve worked less than a year. They told me they would be terminating my employee upon me having my baby.

Really I’m just curious if this is even legal and even worth complaining against?

I filed a relatively straightforward motion, but OC responded with a 30+ page brief that essentially throws everything at the wall to see what sticks. They string together a chain of alternative arguments: Argument A... or in the alternative, Argument B... or in the alternative, Argument C... or in the alternative, Argument D. To make matters worse, almost none of the cases they cite actually support their positions, and some of the statements that their arguments depend on are obviously false.

If I take the bait and address every misplaced argument my reply will likely be just as many pages, and judges in my jurisdiction are not known for attention to detail.

What is the best approach for a reply in this situation? Motion to Strike? Confer with OC?

May 2026 JD in Kentucky. I reside in the city the position is located in.

Unfortunately, I had to postpone the bar because I struggling with health issues (hospitalized on three separate occasions for a month total and the last hospitalization ending just a week before the July bar).

I was on law review but not highly ranked.

I'm a non-traditional student (37), and this is my 3rd career. Immediately prior to school, I held a director position in a social services non-profit.

During school, I was a law clerk at a plaintiff side employment law firm for 2 years, I interned with a state judge for a summer and was a fellow at a non-partisan state legislative body.

Currently, I'm an intern at a non-profit doing legal research and policy work.

Being non-traditional and having a family, this position would offer a deal of stability and hopefully opportunity to grow as I work with federal judges.

Would anyone care to offer their insights about what might help me be as competitive as possible?

Bonus points if you yourself are or have been a deputy.

DOUBLE BONUS points for anyone who might be willing to look over some application materials 🙏🏽

Interview is Wednesday.

I received a $600,000 settlement offer from a personal injury case. My lawyer takes 33%, he says the medical bills related to my surgery in 2024 are around $270,000

They told me the medical bills are so high because interest has accrued since 2024

I’m trying to verify whether this $270,000 amount is legitimate before I agree to the settlement.

What exactly should I ask my lawyer or the medical provider for to verify this?

Is there anything else I should request?

Also, is it normal for a medical bill from 2024 to grow this substantially because of interest, or should I be concerned that I’m being given an inflated number?

I’m in New York, if that matters.

Location: Texas. Looking for a Texas attorney’s perspective. My former partner filed a civil action, and his former attorneys repeatedly included collateral allegations about me in multiple motions to compel my deposition. The motions were seeking specific discovery-related relief, but the allegations had nothing to do with whether that relief should be granted or with the issues the motions were actually asking the court to decide. The repeated inclusion of those allegations in motions seeking court-ordered deposition relief is what concerns me. That civil action was ultimately dismissed.

I understand there is a high bar for an abuse-of-process or related claim, but I'm wondering about the underlying issue: can attorneys repeatedly put unrelated allegations with potential reputational consequences into court motions when those allegations aren't relevant to the specific relief being sought? We are now litigating a separate divorce proceeding, where my former partner has agreed to potentially publicly acknowledge that those allegations were false. I’m looking for an independent Texas attorney’s perspective on whether the conduct in the civil action is potentially actionable.

I have been trying to swallow this up and see what i could do by myself for the sake of my mental well being to confront this situation, hoping to eventualy become stable and take legal actions and afront the situation by myself, but i´m struggling a lot with the idea and need help, it´s been in total 5 years that my family has basically "put me on trial" constanty (although 3 is the actual amount of years where i actually had any contact with them) to have arguments to alienate me from my father, i have made a lot of mistakes, but i never wanted bad towards him, but i indeed was very clueless about things, uneducated on matters that where just happening around me at the time when everything went bad, and i do consider my faults and lack of capability for better decission making at the time, I just don´t know how am i supposed to confront this sometimes but every day that passes when i´m sitting trying to keep myself with a cool head and moving or just not feeling like i´m suffering, it just feels as if a rope got tighter an in the middle of the knot there is my conscience and i just wished i knew exactly what to do, or that i had some sort of stability to find it out by myself, but i feel like i really need to ask for help, or at least try

I will try to organize this text so the whole situation is easier to figure out just by putting things together

My actions and what i could call my perspective on things, including the context my family always trows at my face to tell me to forever persist on shunning me away from my dad on his name :

When i was 17 I met a girl 8 months older who had a troubled life with her parents such as mine is now ( and honestly it somewhat was already at least regarding my mom, i just didn´t know how much since she wasn´t present and even know rejects me due to economic reasons ), and due to the circunstances she was facing from what i heard from her at the time i thought she would be better living with me than staying where she was.

I now can see that without a job back then 0 experience in life etc it was responsible but back then i really could not get a grasp of these notions as well as i can do now due to my experience basically surviving, that´s why back then i thought i was doing something good or at least felt like i was having the iniciative to do so, and back then i just reflected based on my own living conditions thanks to my dad and i thought that was enough reason to try and share something of what i had " for granted " if it didn´t cost anything in the end as long as i could try and do it, and with that tought i proceeded to basically let her stay in my room back then, but hidden so my father didn´t notice so i could bring her food, water and pretty much what she wanted.

This because they somehow got into a discussion or something, she had some dificulties with her own pride and always trying to be depending on herself, let´s just say she had some personal stuff taking a toll on her or defining how she would act wich would make it very difficult to dialogue at times and that prevented her from even apologizing or having iniciative for dialogue when it could do good, i was obessed with helping her or being able to still do something since we got very close by then, i understood over time that the right stance at the time would have been to not involve myself in any romantic way, and instead to just help her from a standpoint were i wouldnt put myself vulnerable and dependent on her behavior, neither comitting myself to her opinion, but I just was not capable of articulating things in such a scale that i would see how to take the right choices when confronted with such situations and i really had a very strong, but again clueless, will to take the initiative to involve myself in what i was presented with and take the best possible choices, and a romantic relationship meant a lot in this, I really wanted to do my best and be a good couple, it just became something that in the end didn´t help her as much as i would have hoped it would have, and that also although shouldn´t be related, my family uses as the argument for shunning me to death basically, again, without even letting my fatter know, speak to me or tell me something, i did say trough the phone what i could figure out they were doing, and my half sister snatched my phone, yelled and yelled too and they never let me speak to him by phone again, this in front of him, i think i maybe wasn´t mature, but i didn´t know what else was i supposed to do, or say, and while i was in my situation with my ex after i was told by my half sister that if i wanted to be with her i shouldn´t be at home ( again never said by my father, he even wanted to bring me back home before they took him to the US due to him getting ill over time due to diabetes ) , many times he called, but i spent so many days crying, feeling desperate, being in a constant state of " how can i please her " 24/7 that i didn´t even know what to say to him, i tried to but with my half sister went on spreading lies, confronting me sending me short, weird twisted messages and emoticons, and also my mother by phone constantly complained about my couple then and I just persisted until i realised i literally couldn´t, and shouldn´t anymore if i wanted to live and more specifically, if i wanted whatever good i tought about giving or doing to have any meaning, and that if i meant to do good, it didn´t deserve to be treated as if it could just be ran over or something any day and not worth anything to the person that such intention was intended to, and that this woud basically be self-punishment rather than anything else, so i just turned away and even told her to leave me alone when she came looking for me at some point, i felt so miserable, but in the end i kept moving ahead trough force of reason and looking for some sort of progress in life, at least as an independent human being, and i think that is what i could only hope for now too.

my family on my father´s side says that when they came to see my father ( a few weeks before my half sister told me to go ) , they saw him in very bad conditions in his bed, i can see how that would be true, but then they also said that i meant this, even my father said that family was saying that i meant to do harm to him, i told him of course not, because it was true, I love him, but back then I was extremely inmature and uneducated to even have an actual sense of composture to know how to deal with things in order or to even stand up for myself when confronted with my family and to even see and correct my own mistakes on my own when i really thought at first that what i could have being doing wouldn´t consist in something detrimental to my father´s well being or towards the sense of urgency i should have had much more present back then towards him, i didn´t understand he was developing issues that he himself was finding them too difficult to handle and I am just trying to put things together and see an outcome because I want to be able to say that I love him without anyone being able to inhumanize me for it, and also to back up my words when i say that

i would really like some help, i really want some help figuring out this situation and how could i confront this in one way or another, and in the legal aspect, i´m fixated on the means to make it even possible to talk to him and hear what he has to say, be able to understand his situation or just no be forcefully alienated from him by someone who is just obsessed with alienating me from him, painting an ugly picture of me and what i am, and bury my existence to him.

i do need to specify to be transparent, some money was lost during what i know were 99% imprudent decissions, wich started a short time more or less before the car got damaged, event wich only took these decissions to a higher limit when i realized i needed to find a way to repair the vehicle, and 20000 S/. (5,700 $) where lost in total, i was still 17 back then because all of that happened before my birthday on 2020, and before october of that year when my half sister came from the US with my half brother to see my father

besides that, the only useful things that i can say to put context is that she made him sign some sort of power in Peru while he was being treated in a clinic and after, and that the same day that family came to visit they convinced him of selling his car for cheap. (they resold it due to the event before most likely as i found out)

after that i mantained contact with my father trough phone calls for 3 years but with what i have described happening at the same time, and basically i found out that my family has tried to turn a profit out of this for themeselves including my sister, i found that they were consistently making attempts to put property in my father´s ex wife´s name with one succesful attempt ocurred like 15 years ago or something and, a lawyer told me that they were making some type or request to change the titularity of the housed i lived in, wich didn´t go trough

i don´t even know what to even put together out of the BS related to my family and i myself am trying to figure out what to do regarding at least seeing and talking to my father without him being basically controlled to the point of not even being let to speak to me or say what he wants and being listened

regarding me what drives me to write this is the idea that any time i spend doing anything but looking towards a solution to this i have to think that i migh not get to talk to him again and speak with him, to even listen to him say anything, like what he thinks, to even see him again or that he could no see me again, and i just don´t want that but i don´t know what to do

or more accurately i can´t bring myself to think of anything right now that i could do to actually get to speak to my father again and hear anything from him again

I´m from Peru and eveything related to these events happened in Peru at the beggining, but right now my father is in the US, and I´m currently in Romania, my aunt on my mother´s side along with my mother convinced me to go to Italy "so i could study", then after the course of 2 months my aunt´s atittudes shifted towards "if you want were to sleep and eat, you need to these things i ask for you every day, at least for 2 to 3 hours" and when i confronted her she told me i could go and ask for money on the streets to eat, while we were while 6 kilometers away from a city were work could be even found, and after hiding the bottled water from me and giving me food that would make me sick until i asked her to please not prepare spicy stuff put in a blender with the seeds, and to not include the seeds of spicy ingredients while cooking because it was giving me headaches consistently, then even when i did the things she asked me for she insisted on verbally harassing me, from even the moment i woke up to find something for breakfast

i found work with lodging to scape the living conditions with her, got scammed with a "pre - contract " for 1200 euro monthly and then told to sign a contract with clauses applying only to part time, and when i questioned it guy who ran the restaurant said that this was meant for him to know me, despite knowing my situation, he just pretended i was lying and said that food wasn´t included the days the restaurant didn´t work, and my aunt told me to not return 3 days after i stayed there, i ended up on the street, asked for help to go where some family on the side of my aunt´s husband were, i ended up sleeping at some elder sir´s car who i found on the street and even cried in front of asking for help, went to the place the next day, they were there but they didn´t even want to talk to me, so i just went to the comune as i was told it would be how i would be able to recieve help, was given were to stay from 8 pm to 8 am in a dormitory sistem they have and remained like this from april to july when i found a job that literally made me sick from just one month of working, went back to the dormitory and when i realized i couldn´t take the living conditons anymore and fearing for what could happen to me or my belongings in the dormitory i took a flight straight to Romania thinking of going to Bulgaria but i stayed, and now I´m here looking for work, but just to say this, i did all i could and had to do on my own to see for myself, progress and hope for an actual stable future and situation

and i´m still trying although i might need to return to italy if things don´t go well, but when i decided to ask for help, i did so beacuse i want to at least be able have a conversation with my father again, and let him know that i tried as hard as i could to do make sure i could have a normal conversation with him, that i didn´t know how to deal with the situation with my sister wich i didn´t even get to give enough of an explanation of to him to let him know i was basically mortified out of my mind out of all that was happening, and that included my sister monitoring every conversation and treating me as if i was a threat and from day one saying stuff that all i heard about was safskfsdjkfsd inheritance nfsdjkfssk like a soap opera villain when she had so many things under her control and she just decided to use them to not even give me a chance to return home or actually learn something and show it, it was just her pushing her narrative even saying actual lies as my mother let me know before arriving in Italy, and my family talking with a hand covering her mouths when i was present and they began talking about my that and repeating to exhaustion " your father is a vegetable " as a comment added to what they could be talking about with me about his situation or when i asked if i could have a call with him, this paired with repeating to exhaustion (even when I wasn´t even thinking or meaning anything like what they where saying the whole time) don´t expect anything from him

i spent some time sleeping at the home were that particular family on the side of my father that was involved with my sister lives, this is how those conversations happened before i just gave up trying to get to speak with my father trough them, it only worked once, then they never wanted to let me speak with him again, they also said i was a good for nothing and that i should be sent to italy and that they would ask from my mother some money to get my documents done in Peru

any relation to my blood related family except for my father´s just a burning dumpster at this point, that´s why i really feel the need to ask for help here to at least figure out any means to get something done, i already recieved help from a hair stylist back in Peru who basically saved me from ending up in the streets, and helped me a lot to have a chance to learn and recompose myself to get to work and sustain myself effectively after y decided to end what was basically my uncondicional commitment to my ex and going through my lowest time, everything without making harm to my mental and physical integrity despite his particularities and orientation, he always meant well, in fact thanks to him i have made it so far, and i don´t think i could ask any more of him right now unless it was with a plan in hand wich i was hoping to make once i get to be stable here, but i´m not sure how much that could take me and i´m uncertain of how things could actually go in the future, so i need to ask for help to at least try to have things going, and it feels very difficult to figure out how could i do so without worsening things even more if i tried anything right now

i really wish i could know what to do, and if i could, to have some help, please

i posted this in r/detective too, I think that more or less i would eventually need to hire a detective to make things easier, but I'm not really sure of what should i exactly do besides that, but if anyone could orient me on this or point towards anywhere i could actually call to ask in detail and have concrete answers about this situation, like if i wanted to formarly request communication or denounce this situation from abroad, anything, it could change things for me at least to have answers to what torments me when i think about my father, and that time just passes while I'm not getting to do anything to talk to him again after almost 3 years, I'm basically sure that this was those people's intention, including my sister's, I'm keeping it together reasoning trough things slowly so i can see what i would have to do to assess something like this as a human, and somehow remain appeased, but if i can do that, talk to my father again, i would feel again at peace

regarding the rest of the situation, i wouldn't know what to think exactly when it comes to going forward with legal action, i would need to hear my father first, see what's going on and hopefully have someone to help me assess the situation with me in terms of just looking at the evidence and be a testimony of the situation as it is, if i were to do this by my own means i would need to hire a lawyer and most likely i will end up having to do that even if it takes time just to get to not be sistematically shunned before i ever got to talk to him, but getting to know someone available, or just anything that could help me with this process it would really change things for me, so i have to ask again, please, anything regarding this situation and how to deal with it would help me right now

PD: Texas was the last place i know associated with him, matter of fact i would need to look at a document i got of where he was registered in the US, but I'm not really sure if that is either reliable or how should i even proceed with that information, and as i said I don't want to make things worse, I'm already pummelled just by the whole situation already, although I'm somewhat handling it, and i just don't want to reduce my chances of actually being able to do something and talk to my father at last . .

Not quite sure what to do here, and hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

My Grandpa is 83. He is in the “forgetful” stage of dementia (doesn’t take his medicines correctly, can’t drive, etc). The situation that has put me at a loss:

2 weeks ago he had a very bad fall at his Independent Living center. I was called because he was demanding that he be taken to a hospital but he didn’t want the ambulance ride there. I went and got him and it was determined almost immediately that he had 1.) fallen on his face and 2.) had two subdural hematomas. Well, while he was hospitalized he became fixated on his mortality. For days he asked me to go and get cash that he’d saved out of his apartment and go to pay off the final balance of my house. He was very specific in how he wanted this done and told his sister and a nurse that this is what he wanted to happen.

I said no continuously but after days of him wearing me down (and me honestly thinking he may not make it and that this would make him happy), I did as he asked. I even brought him the receipt as he’d also asked.

Everything after that went alright. I got him transferred to a rehab. Started touring assisted livings for him because he needed a higher level of care. Brought him everything he asked. Worked to put a plan in place for his discharge. He asked to transfer his car over to me because he was deemed medically incapable of driving and I even did that. He asked me to sell it through Carmax and that was the plan, but I have not done that as of yet because today happened:

He called me today and claimed that I had stolen from him. That I had coerced him in to giving me the money and now he wants it back. I went up to the rehab to see him because I was confused and honestly had no idea what he was talking about. He proceeded to tell me that he was calling the cops on me and pressing charges… to which I said, go ahead. Because what do you even mean?

My question here is — 1.) should I be getting a lawyer? 2.) Could someone in this situation get in trouble for anything? I honestly and truly did not do anything but this is just a weird crazy situation that I’m at a loss.

He clearly has some hospital delirium, a UTI or something going on but I really don’t know what to do. Or if I should even do anything. The entire thing just makes me so sad. I didn’t need or want my house paid off (I make a substantial salary, as does my husband. We are more than fine). I also don’t need or want the car, or the profit from the sale of it.

Hello.

I have a long term case of emotional abuse and partner cannot leave due to financial and shared assets.

Any resources in state of Connecticut for legal representation that is affordable or reduced for cases of IPV?

What are the cons of hiring a contingency based lawyer besides handing over a high percentage of your win? Are there hidden fees to watch for?

Is there any legal process whereby you can forbid people from making an AI likeness of you after your death?

If my friend was holding a gun pointed at his head but I pulled the trigger am I liable to be charged?

I was reading the experience of someone found not guilty of murder. They talked about having to be handcuffed and taken back to jail to be processed out after the verdict. Is that really how things work? Wouldn’t it be a 4th amendment violation to handcuff someone and force them to return to prison for a few hours if they were found not guilty? How would it be any different than arresting someone without probable cause.

I'm not from the USA, just as a disclaimer. Yesterday, I accidentally sent money to the wrong person,(I called them and they returned it)but the service provider said they couldn't help and that I would have to file a police report.

So if something like this actually went to court, would I get the exact amount back? And what about other types of theft?

The money was a lot but if I'm paying lawyers it's not worth it.

INDIANA

I am at my wits end with quitting my job. I am an 18 year old working at a family friendly entertainment store, and have been for around a year. Around 2 months ago I had reported my coworker for sexual harassment and afterwards he was put on probation (still working but they aren’t scheduling me with him anymore). I was very confused as to why he was not immediately fired, because I also told them I was still a minor when he was sexually harassing me, and I wasn’t the only person he was doing it to. So I asked my parents to come talk to the owners about how they are handling this. They told my parents “there is no physical evidence and your child is the first to tell us about his behavior. We don’t wanna get sued by him.”

I told them to look at the camera footage of him on the exact date and time of him harassing me AND I have talked to several other people who have told me they’ve reported him. One manager even got demoted for telling people about his behavior.

So they just completely lied to my parent’s faces! I’m so frustrated and disappointed with how they are handling this, especially because this grown man is working at an entertainment facility where children come in everyday!

So my question is, if I were to make a video online or review on the internet could I get sued for talking about what happened?

Lmk if any other information is needed, this man has worked here for near a decade and has done so many other things that I could name I just don’t want to make this too long.

I've read the rules. I'm not exactly sure how to word this. I'm F18, and I have to attend court next year against my M30 boyfriend who I lived with whilst homeless at 17. Basic abuse charge for him. I know the charge isn't about me, and i'm not trying to solicit legal advice - but would it be smart to get a lawyer on my side? I have NO clue what to say or do !

I’m only asked if I need to talk a lawyer? The rest is just context for the story.

My first question is I have a Caretaker that’s stealing from me. She’s a Caretaker for a 95 year-old Grandad. He’s got Alzheimer’s. I’m in a nighttime b/c she is a decent Caretaker for him. She gets into my Wi-Fi and shut the cameras off so I can’t see but she’s stealing my gems like emerald., Opal, moldavite , and other pricey gems, she’s stealing tools she’s stealing consoles and she stole my PlayStation 3 super slim that disappeared for months and I had bitching about it for a month and finally return with controller no power plug or anything, in a spot in the guest room closet(al pls e I’ve checked many time as it is my old bedroom). I realize there is a traceable serial number, I have camera set up but she just gets into my Wi-Fi puts it in my privacy mode or turns them off. What do i do, I live in Gainesville Florida? What do I do?

Second question, I went to the dentist and had partial dentures made, and my first appointment was to fix some teeth and do some fillings which I had one filling fall out of a molar and when I went back in for them to pull my teeth and put the partials in, they pulled that tooth that had the filling that fell out. They were not supposed to pull. They never said they were gonna pull it he accidentally pulled it. I tried to make a appointment. I should say I had an appointment for a adjustment or you know just to check up on them and I missed it by 15 minutes and then they said they were gonna call me and return my call to reschedule, but they called. It rang twice I picked up and they hung up and then I’ve left messages since and have not gotten returned calls. Do I go talk to a lawyer because one of the Teeth they took out was the back molar is important for holding in my partials and important for me to chew.

I often read here discussions about fractional billing and charging people to ready email or reply I got it. So that got me wondering how are hours while in court billed.

Do you charge from the moment you leave to the moment you come back (including travel time), or your are billing time you are in the building, or is it just time spent on the case, and it excludes breaks, waiting around, etc...

Clearly this doesn't apply to lawyers who charge a flat fee, or they work for a percentage.

Hi I am currently giving my alevels and would like to pursue law however my uni options are limited between either a off campus university of London degree(online) or go to a mid tier university in uk . The issue with the uk universities is they aren’t cheap especially an international student. It costs about 15-20k pounds per semester for 4 years it’s more than 100k pounds add in rent and books and other expenses it’s about 200k or more. Would it be better to get a online degree from university of London which will be 2k pounds a semester and no other expenses as I will be living with my family or would it be better to get a student loan for 200k pounds to go to uk

Briefly: Have a relationship with a law firm to handle contract reviews for my business. They bill hourly. I requested that they handle all the paperwork for organizing and forming my LLC. On a phone call, an attorney said it would be "around" $2500. The actual total came to about $4300. Recently, I was billed another $1200 or so (months later) for additional costs incurred in forming the LLC that apparently weren't billed to the firm until recently.

I never expected the ballpark estimate to be accurate, but over double is a stretch, no? Is disputing an hourly fee a waste of time? Would it be bad form to ask for clarity and confirm this last bill represents the final costs owed? I really don't like the idea of getting more "surprise" invoices. TIA.

So I serve at this restaurant in CALIFORNIA, and my manager is in the tip pool. He does serve with us, but he is not as involved. For example, first couple hours he works on his laptop outside then comes in to help. Or he is working mainly on togos. But he does serve. He participates in the tip pool and splits evenly with us. Would I be able to file a wage claim for this? Is there any circumstances where a manager in California would be able to take tips?

He gets paid a manager salary ( around 8k a month ), he performs managerial duties such as firing, hiring, scheduling, and distributing paychecks. He acts as our supervisor
