Can I file a claim against a person who laid some hardwood flooring in my home but didn't complete the work ?

Answered 4 years and 10 months ago by attorney Bruce Robins   |   1 Answer
You can "file a claim" against anyone.  In your case, based on your sie of the story, you appear to have a valid suit against Mr. Robertson for breach of contract in that he didn't provide you with the proper hardwood floor that you had contracted for.

I'm trying to sue a retail store but I can't find their legal entity name. Is there a way to sue without it?

Answered 5 years ago by Tj Jesky (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
It would be best if you had their Legal Name, rather than just suing them in small claims court with the generic Unknown Roe Corporation (which you can do). Send a friend into the store, their business license needs to be posted on the wall, it will have their legal name. Review county records, on line, you should be able to find their business name. Check with county records to see if they filed a DBA. See if you can find their website, and check for contact information. Check with the Secretary of State, and search business names, which in most case will give you the name of the owners. Good luck.... Read More

I have a contract that says it is non cancelable but I do not feel as though the business is delivering on their promise. what can I do?

Answered 5 years and 5 months ago by attorney Bruce Robins   |   1 Answer
You would cancel the contract due to the consultant's material breach in not delivering the services for which you paid.  Be prepared to be sued for the balance, however.  To succeed, you're going to have to prove that the consultant did not deliver what it was contractually obligated to deliver....

Car service contract bought 11/26/18 after new 2013 Ford Edge warranty expired. "Matrix" Warranty Solutions refused to cover Engine failure in 2019.

Answered 6 years and 7 months ago by Patrick Johnson (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
Even though you did not say so, I am assuming that it refused to honor the warranty because it claimed that you did not change the oil on a timely basis and/or you don't have proof of the oil changes that you claimed you made. You need to read the warranty contract to see what is says about the conditions of coverage.... Read More

An aftermarket auto warranty on my 2013 Ford Edge after the Ford warranty expired. Now "Matrix" has denied my claim for a new engine. (est $8,739.58).

Answered 6 years and 8 months ago by Patrick Johnson (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
One of the conditions of coverage for auto warranty contracts is that you changed the oil at the recommended oil change mileage. This generally requires that you prove that you change the oil at that mileage. What you are telling me is that on some ocassions you changed the oil yourself but have not proof of that. There might be some things that would verify that you changed the oil: (1) sales receipts from the store where you purchased the new oil and oil filter and (2) a read out of your auto computer where the "reset oil" light  was reset. I don't know that this is any help but call me if you want to discuss this.... Read More

What type of lawyer do I need when dealing with mold in an apartment and trying to move out of my lease

Answered 6 years and 8 months ago by Patrick Johnson (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
The presence of mold, depending on the type, amount, location, etc., may render the apartment uninhabitable. It also will depend on if you created the mold.  You can send a letter (certified mail, return receipt requested) to the landlord advising them of the presence of the mold and give them a time period to remove it and if they do not remove it, then you are going to move out. If they do not remove it, then move out sending the landlord a letter explaining why. You can read about landlord and tenant law in Tennessee through Google.... Read More
