Answered a year and 6 months ago by attorney Gilbert Borman   |   1 Answer
a very interesting hypothetical: the person who stole the number is guilty of a crime; if you left it on the desk intending to let them get it, you would be complicit (very hard to prove unless they film you in the bar bragging about it) you might be found liable for negligence if the SSN is abused SSNs and PII (Personally Identifying Information) are a huge problem for every business: you want this data kept as secure as possible. best of luck...

Where would I file a claim?

Answered a year and 7 months ago by attorney Gilbert Borman   |   1 Answer
It certainly sounds like you are the victim of some form of fraud. Both the moving company whose truck and movers did the actual move as well as the website that sold you their services can be found liable. While the actual movers might claim they had no knowledge of the bait and switch done against you, the website and the mover refused to proceed until they had you on the hook. Trying to sue online sites can be difficult especially because getting service of process can be a challenge. But the actual moving company can be found; let them file their own claim against the website. You might want to hire legal counsel for this. Feel free to leave truthful reviews of the service you received from both companies. Best of luck to you.  ... Read More

What does it look like to hire an attorney to sue another attorney

Answered 2 years and 5 months ago by attorney Gilbert Borman   |   1 Answer
Cases can take longer to do that most people think. I don't know if your lawyer is doing a good or bad job on your matter. First, go to the court and look up your case's register of actions (the court can give it to you or you can look it up online at the court website).  Has it been filed? If it has been filed, has the other side been served? These are key questions to determining how they are doing for you. You certainly can tell the lawyer that you are dissatisfied and what they need to do to fix things. Just know 1 thing, changing lawyers is almost always a disaster for the client. As long as your lawyer is legitimately working the case, I would urge you to be patient. Best of luck to you.... Read More
