This a valid claim - but not likely a conitngent fee case for a variety of reasons, starting with most Tatoo artists are uncollectable unless they have "tatoo insurance". You may need to hire a lawyer to see if there is insurance coverage and then go from there.

what kind of attorney do I need I've been to 2 civil rights attorneys they tell me there not a big enough Lawyer.

Answered 8 years and 2 months ago by attorney Mark Tischhauser, Esq.   |   1 Answer
To be candid, the "this is too big of a case for us little civil rights lawyers" is a politically correct way to say "thanks but no thanks, but call us when you have a GOOD case". There is no lawyer in America that is to small to take a great case, because they can always refer it out or bring in bigger law firms "on a great case". To be clear a Nolle Prosse is NOT a declaration of your innocence regardless of movielore, but simply the States declining to prosecute for any of dozens of reasons. I fyou are inlcined to file a civil rights/malicious prosecution claim on the facts presnted, you will likely need to fund such litigation out of pocket as no conherentlawyer would take such a case on a contingent fee for any of a number of reasons. You simply need to get down to the business of hiring a lawyer with a retainer to handle this issue. You might want to ask your criminal lawyer for a referal if you cant find someone otherwise or use the find a lawyer feature here. ... Read More

Possibly, but if you didn't authorize the treatment, why did you pay for it and now seek reimbursement? Unfortunately, unless the sums are substantial or you want to sue for making a point, such cases are not generally economically viable.

Can Verizon change your contract against your wishes when you get a new phone?

Answered 8 years and 3 months ago by attorney Mark Tischhauser, Esq.   |   1 Answer
Its the "without our permission" part that will be problematic. There is no "right" to keep a contract or terms and use a service. Most instances when a new phone is bought or events dictate, the service provider can require whatever new contract terms it desires with the remedy of taking your business elsewhere. That is an important point as many times the "correction" made or honoring of earlier terms is a CS issue not a contractual entitlement and when siging things to get new phones people oftem grant the permission in writing that they didnt read which supercedes and verbal claim otherwise. You will need to have a lawyer review ALL of the documents at issue if Verizon won't switch it back and then go from there, but it may not be worth the legal fee expense. ... Read More

You need to start with addressing this with your insurance company if they recommended the shop. Otherwise you have a contract suit that may not be fianancially viable to pursue. The "release" you reference is likely a Fla. Stat. 559 estimate disclsoure/waiver.

Probably, but these are all contract type claims, typically meaning you will ned to pay for legal fees up front and seek to recover them if you win and may be exposed to paying thier legal fees if you lose. This also sounds like an ID theft issue so thats a separate can of worms.

Landlord kept entire security deposit. We think it was commingled & spent. Need to sue for civil theft= 3 times damages. Need contingency basis.

Answered 8 years and 4 months ago by attorney Mark Tischhauser, Esq.   |   1 Answer
Most lawyers will NOT take such a case on a contingent fee basis in a vacuum and those that agree to you should be very wary of. While it is common that LL enage in such conduct routinely, the collection aspect is the most complicated as many small or single famly home LL are effectvively judgment proof or more likely to run to file bankruptcy when hit with a substantial judgment. On a positive note, Fla. Stat. 83.48 allow you to get reimbursed for legal fees you expend in such a lawsuit and these get added to the judgment and typically would allow you to keep all the damages awarded. We handle such cases routinely and only represent tenants in that regard. ... Read More

Is this a breach of contract, if so, when was the contract breached and by whom?

Answered 8 years and 5 months ago by attorney Bruce Robins   |   1 Answer
It appears that you have a good claim that the non-compete clause is null and void due to the other party having materially breached hte contract by failing to pay you in a timely fashion.  In addition, non-compete clauses are looked are scrutinized closely by courts, and it may be that yours would be deemed unenforceable regardless of any breach.  However, you can't expect the other party to simply agree that your obligation is cancelled, or any third party to take a chance that the clause may be enforced.  You have to sue to get a court to declare that you are not obligated....
