Could I sue a school for wrongful marketing of their degree?

Answered 10 years and 6 months ago by Georges Herman Shers (Unclaimed Profile)   |   6 Answers
I am not sure you have much of a case. You should have found out what type of degree it was before you signed up. ?Also, you should have known that you would not get a higher degree unless it was somehow related to what you got your B.A. in. They will argue that it was clear the course work would not merit anything higher than an AA. You could sue in Small Claims Court as it costs very little to do so, but you have a weak case....

hearing in aid of execution

Answered 11 years and 4 months ago by attorney Mark Tischhauser, Esq.   |   1 Answer
This is impossible as there is no such thing as a generic "hearing in aid of execution". Things done in aid of execution, such as a deposition, are performed by a judgment creditor as a means to use legal vehicle like garnishment to execute on a judgment. If there is a hearing scheduled it necessarily must be asociated with a motion or some legal event, and THAT is what will determine what needs to be done or not done at the hearing. If you have any questions or concerns, please call our office at 1-800-922-6442 for a FREE consultation.... Read More

How in the world can we give you solid legal advice without reading all relevant documents and knowing all of the facts and circumstances? We cannot ask questions back to you on an internet forum like this and get answers. Thus, your best bet is to actually go see an attorney.

Legal Ramifications to custodial abuse.

Answered 11 years and 6 months ago by attorney Bruce Robins   |   1 Answer
There are both civil suits, brought by private parties and seeking private remedies, and criminal proceedings, brought by the state and seeking to punish wrongdoing.  A private civil suit (which is generally what is meant by "taken to court") would not involve any question of jail time, although sometimes Judges hear allegations in civil suits which compel them to ask the District Attorney to institute criminal proceedings as well.  Even in a criminal proceeding, in these circumstances I would imagine that a Judge would have leeway to impose a penalty that did not include jail time, and certainly each side can argue that no jail time should be imposed....

Is a private BDSM club legal?

Legal? I sincerely doubt that someone can just open up a club for this purpose. Answering this question would require a significant amount of research. This question is like asking whether a corporation can just start selling its stock to the public. No, there are a vast number of rules and regulations, as well as statutes which must be complied with.... Read More

Does accepting a payment and cashing it mean you accept the settlement the company offers?

Answered 11 years and 6 months ago by Mr. Robert Jason De Groot (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
This does not appear to be a criminal defense question. That is the heading it is under. If this is a civil suit, and you sign a release and accept the settlement offer, the matter is resolved.

If a person is put on a porn site without their consent how do they go about suing the party that put them there?

Answered 11 years and 6 months ago by Georges Herman Shers (Unclaimed Profile)   |   3 Answers
If you know who did it, then you sue them in a state in which they were when they placed the photographs on the internet. Since the internet is not restricted to just one state, you probably could also sue in the state in which you live. The big problem is being able to prove who did it as the web site operator may not know who did it and certainly will not help you in finding out. here.... Read More
