CubeSmart Sold my Unit

Answered 8 years and 5 months ago by attorney Mark Tischhauser, Esq.   |   1 Answer
This sale of the storage unit contents didn't likely happen in 2 day - but was subject prior notices and cure opportunities where payment wasn't made. There is a procedure that the storage places must follow in regard to selling contents of storage units. If the contents were subtantial it may be worth spending some money to have a lawyer review the paperwork and situation to see IF anything can be done and then what. We do handle such cases and provide free consultatons to assist in retaining our office to help on such cases. You can call 1-800-922-6442. ... Read More

I had an oral agreement with someone to remodel a home in another state. Although home and contractor are in the other state, Can I sue them in FL?

Answered 8 years and 6 months ago by attorney Mark Tischhauser, Esq.   |   1 Answer
 "I have heard different opinions from attorney's but I would prefer to sue him in Florida." This is likely because you have hired none of them so that they can provide a PROPER legal opinion  - so you get off the cuff junk advice otherwise. As a PRACTICAL matter, 99% of your issues are in Alabama so you will likely find the logistics alone of trying to sue in Florida to be untenable and STILL possibly find yourself dealing with litigation in Alabama. If what you are REALLY asking is  - can YOU go play lawyer - and file your own lawsuit from the comfort of your couch in Florida, that would be a horiffic concept under the facts presented. ...

Can't have cake and eat it too as at this point in time the world does not recognize "shakin up" as an actual marriage short of  legally recognized common law marriage. Common law marriage is not recognizedin Florida. That stated, an insurer can voluntarily extend coverage to wom ever they choose to and can claissify a DP as whateve definition they want. Either you will meet thier standard or you won't, but you likely won't have a legal basis to file suit to force coverage, unless you want to spend a pile of money trying to change the law to conform to your view point. This is one of many "loop holes" in the system where straight couples ate often penalized. ... Read More

I tried to trade-in my vehicle and the car dealership has taken possession of my vehicle and I still have the title.

Answered 8 years and 8 months ago by attorney Mark Tischhauser, Esq.   |   1 Answer
Typically you don't "trade in" a vehicle and THEN go get custom things off of it. You either take them off BEFORE you give up possession or you take them off when the vehicle is being appraised for trade in value. Unless you have some written agreement otherwise, you likely traded in the vehicle as it was and need to be careful you don't breach your written agreement and get a repo for your efforts. ...
