Business Litigation Legal Questions

There are multiple things that needs to be reviewed and understood. I would recomend reaching out for a premium consultation to go over the facts of the case can help you resolve your issues and put you in a better direction and at financial security. Without knowing the details - facts of the matter you can not get legal advice. Looking forward to hearing from you.... Read More

There is never an entitlement to use credit cards for payment and tow services routinely refuse them to avodi "the chargeback game" where people pay with a CC, get the vehicle released and then try to cancel the payment. Whats missing from these facts WHY was your car getting towed, as this sounds more like a repo issue not a towing. If this is some attempt to describe a predatory towing incident, you may have to decide if you want to spend the money suing them if alw enforcement won't intervene. ... Read More

Not on those facts. This is a contract issue and starts with hiring a lawyer to review the contract. There is also a reason why the manufacturer is refusing to re-side it or that you have opted to contact a third party siding company and those facts are critical to such an assessment. You will need to retain a lawyer ASAP before you do anything further. ... Read More

If you are asking whether you have a case against mall management for prohibiting the customer from testing the piano my response is:  probably not.  The reason I say this is that I have represented landlords and tenants in retail leases and it is common that landlords include provisions in the leases that prohibit audio of any sort from emanating from the store, restaurant, etc except in limited circumstances or with the landlord's permission for special events, for example.  So, in order to answer your question I would need to see the lease and advise your boss acoordingly.  It could very well be the case that he or she agreed that sound may not be heard outside the store leaving him or her with no case against the landlord.  I know this is not the answer you wanted because you may have lost a customer but I am attempting to give you general guidance based on the limited information you provided....

Sounds to me like you discovered the radon exactly as an inspection might reveal.  It is unclear from your post what the real estate agent did wrong.  If the home had exposure to radon gas and the homeowner knew it but failed to disclose it on the disclosures report then you might have a reason to avoid the contract.  You do not state anything in your post that ties any sort of responsibility to the real estate agent so I am unclear what you allege he or she did wrong.  As a shorter answer, of course you can sue the real estate agent...does not mean you will win and might even get you sanctioned for brining a meritless claim.  My usual reply to the question "Can I sue...." is just that: of course you can sue - the Courts are open for business.  Pardon my sarcasm but I just want people to have realistic expectations....

Pennsylvania's Attorney General's office can be found at attorneygeneral.gov.  In particular it sounds like your matter may be handled by the Consumer Affairs bureau.  Be aware that a large part of the AG work centers on crminal matters.  If, however, your dispute is between you as a park owner or tenant and the management company then it sounds like you have a civil dispute on your hands and if that is the case then it is likely that your contract with the management company may address how and where disputes are to be settled.  Arbitration is a common method of handling contractual disputes.  Not every dispute is resolved exclusiely through a lawsuit.  If the attorney you contacted was not able to handle the magnitude or subject of your case then I suggest you keep looking - if you have a legitimate case or claim or controversy there is probably a well-qualified attorney or firm that will be interested in evaluating the case....

First, did you get insurance on the move? Second, if you did, demand to make a claim (do it fast, they often are time limited). If there wasn't insurance, you can make a claim against them. If they forged signatures, that is a very big thing it all but proves guilt in the case. I am not the right lawyer for this kind of matter, if you do not have a lawyer, I can help you find one....

Not on those facts. Unless there is some written guarantee of no crime, the gates have nothing to do with criminal access, and there is no responisbility to protect you from theives. Your remedy is to move elsewhere to a better apartment complex when your lease is up. You need to secure your property in the meantime. ... Read More

There is no such thing as a pre-litigation notice provided to a judge. There is a lawsuit or there is not. This sounds like there is a lawsuit filed. You need to retain a lawyer ASAP to address this regardless. Depending on what you actually stated, there may be several remedies that might be available to "nip this in the bud" but they must be handled by a lawyer to be effective. Ignoring legal notices from lawyers is NOT a meaningful means to resolve such issues, as you now see. ... Read More

Sure, the REAL issue is whether it is worth the legal expense to do so. You might be better served at this point starting with a "demand letter" from a lawyer to see whether that sparks a response which is the most economical response. Litigation is expensive and may not yeild a positive result given the amounts at issue and the nature of your claims for a variety of reasons. Most of the time "consequential" damages are not recoverable in contract breach cases - meaning your decision to postpone the grand opening is your decision and not one you can recover from the vendor for unless you have a contract that allows for such damages, which in such circumstances is unlikely. ...

Greetings.  It appears you would like to know what to do if you have learned that you are a named defendant in a lawsuit, but have not yet been served with that lawsuit.  When a person knows, at any time, that they may be a named defendant in a lawsuit, they should immediately contact a good New York lawyer.  Why immediately?  Because the lawyer will be able to determine the seriousness of the lawsuit and properly plan and guide the client with next steps.  These may be to preserve information, memorialize witness statements, pre-emptively file certain documents, etc.  The lawyer will also be able to determine certain deadlines and ensure the client does not miss them.  It is unadvisable to take an ostrich in the sand approach when you know you are a named defendant.  Please contact a good New York lawyer as soon as possible....

First, send a letter to the company demanding they return your money.  Give them 30 days to respond, and if they don't just fill out form SC-100 online (you can search for "small claims complaint" or "form SC-100") and take it to your county's small claims court address (also found online)...

You will need to retain a lawyer at some expense to intervene. If you can't afford to do that, there is no real remedy here as you should have made a better effort to have been out of the property once you leared she was having an estate sale, and selling tghe property. Its possible that there might be an insurance claim - but that presumes there is coverage for the landlord tenant issues - and it sounds like this was a room rental in an elderly persons home....

This is none of the above. At best it was a Hatfields v. McCoys battle and otherwise a potential simple battery case. Its noted that you omit what the question is and why he "snapped". That stated, this new found notion of whipping out a cell phone to "take a video" is both absurd and provocative typically escalating the situation unnecessarily. You should have gone into your house and called the police after the first touching. Otherwise this becomes a selective recording issue and recording a mutual argument can actually cause this to be mutual combat where BOTH parties are arrested. That the spouse didn't feel the need to call for help but opted to make a cell phone recording simply adds to the allegations of "set up" by the other side. If you have such a neighbor, this is a good time to get security cameras installed around the house that passively record anything on your property. You will likely need to retain a lawyer to sue for a retraining order and likely to respond to any further escalation of the controversy.... Read More
