Need legal advice since i cant get my attorney to return my phone calls!!!!!?
my son has been on juvi probation for a while, needless to say his crimes are not of violent nature, and to me when a kid asks for help....it made me listen!!!! i just wish someone else could hear us. from what i have read online over the past hours of being stuck on this computer trying to find answers i should have already been advised by my attorney to the appeal process???? hes a good kid...thats not just my opinion. its sad because he made a promise to me and himself that this time after being detained that some major changes were to come....but instead he is forced to wear a jacket of judgement and me being a single mom that is working very hard on my parenting skills neither of us can be commended for our progress over the past months.....
Family Lawyer Research and Family Law Advice?
First, check with base legal, i.e., JAG office. This is a good place to start to find out your rights under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act. Second, go to the New Mexico State Bar website. See if there are any special certifications for family law attorneys. (For example, if you are a Certified Family Law Specialist in California, you must have so many trials under your belt and have passed a written exam in addition to the state bar exam.) If New Mexico has specializations, you can probably locate the specialists through a link on the website. Regarding the factors you need to look for in a family law attorney -- tough question. My clients have to like me and trust me with some of their darkest secrets. For example, I don't care if my client has been sleeping around. I just need to know so I am not surprised by the information. If you can't trust your attorney with your secrets, certainly don't trust him/her with your money or kids. Also, carefully review your attorney's bill every month. Don't be afraid to question the charges. If there is research for some item, find out what it is and why the issue was so different than any of their other cases that the attorney had to do additional research. For example, in your case, I would know enough about the military to not have to do research regarding survivor's benefits. I do think you are going to have a problem with the physical custody aspect. Be careful not to slam your wife too much. Apparently you two were compatible enough to create a family and you knew she was not educated when you created this family. It is very hard to argue that it is a factor now when it wasn't a factor then. Best of luck to you.

1. I am pursuing graduation and I joined a BPO company in Noida on 27th April 2017 to meet my financial needs.2. I absconded on 10th August 2017. Reason- 10 hours office mandate stay+1 hr cab buffer time+3 hrs travel and worse working conditions.3. Whatsapp messages from the TL but no official intimation/ warning.4. I had signed the appointment letter that included a clause -Resigning from the services with or without notice period prior to completing 18 months tenure, the company reserves the right to recover Rs 25,000 as training fee+ notice pay.5. After 3 months of leaving, an advocate (on behalf of the company) sent me a legal notice asking to pay Rs. 61,000 (1 month salary+Rs. 25000 training fees + Rs. 11,000 notice fee)to be paid in a week for not serving notice period.6.This letter is sent only to the employees who absconded after June 2017.Please, guide me how to deal with this. I do not want any experience letter or pending incentives/salary from them.
Would it be illegal for a non-lawyer to give legal advice without a disclaimer?
Let’s look at the practical, worldwide, generic picture first.Anyone (i.e. a non-lawyer) can give ‘legal’ advice (i.e. legally related advice) with or without a disclaimer. There’s nothing to stop any old Tom, Dick or Harry offering his twopence worth of advice on a legal matter.“I’d say file a civil action in county court’s civil division to get your money back using Adam v. Lindsell (1818) as the basis of your claim” — that’s good as much as bad legal advice as any non-lawyer could give.If that advice-giver was giving it as a one-off, and should you choose to accept it, would you call that ‘legal advice’ or ‘legally related advice’ or just ‘advice’?Even if legal advice from a non-lawyer is technically unlawful, it cannot literally apply to every situation in real life.Now here’s the difference.Some people have a penchant for giving advice on other people’s legal problems, just as some others like to advise on automobile or cooking problems. It can be very annoying or can be very useful.For instance, I too have a habit of giving my opinions (even advice) on legal matters, but in no way (even from a cursory reading of my legally related answers here) that I’m putting out myself as practising law via my advice.But there is a fine line of difference between having a habit of advising on legally related matters and advising as though in the manner of practising law. Most countries make this practice by conduct as unlawful, even illegal.The USA puts a stop to this nonsense by simply making it illegal as a general statutory rule if the advice-giver isn’t trained in law, isn’t qualified in law, isn’t admitted to the state Bar, and isn’t licensed to practise law. Simple as that. A very good rule too.Having said that, “as though in the manner of practising law” is clearly situational in interpretation. Overall though in the USA (and pretty much any country), the rule is that it can’t be done, mainly over reasons of the advice-giver’s purpose in giving out the advice in addition to the regularity, frequency and consistency of the advice-giving.Of course, the fate is sealed for illegality if the advice-giver actually received (or demanded) money in some way for the advice offered.

Want to take legal actions towards GameStop, read my case and give me advice if I should.?
The person who gave you the money probably bleached those bills and then printed the 100 dollar face value on it, which is why each bill has the same serial number. That is the technique being used now by counterfeiters. One way to tell that those bills were counterfeit is that you sold the ipad on Craigslist. Craigslist is full of scammers. If you take Gamestop to court you will lose. You should find the person who gave you the money and take him to court.
Eviction with a disabled child? need help! Please Read!?
my husband and i got served a 3-day eviction notice a little over a week ago. (we live in Colorado, i was in California when we got the notice, which sucked) its going to court now since we took no action in those 3 days. the reason for the eviction is because we owe over $1000 because of past due rent and a butt load of late fees. its almost mid June, the late fees ($5 a day mind you) started beginning of February!!! now, we were being charged these late fees but didn't know why and were told it was a mistake and they'd be taken off. they weren't, they kept going and were adding up pretty quick. as for the past due rent, when we moved in there was a different manager, whom told us that because she knew we were in a tight financial spot she'd give us the first month free. well, supposedly she never put that in writing and now there's a new manager and he says for every month since December we'd been paying for the previous month, instead of paying for the next month. so whenever my husband would go down to pay our rent and utilities he thought he was paying ahead, when really we were getting in a hole we couldn't see til recently! so now, because of the late fees and crap, we owe them over $1400! now, my husbands parents are willing to help us pay back what we owe, but what i want to know is, we have a disabled son, hes 5 months old and has to use hearing aides because of severe hearing loss (hearing loss IS considered a disability) but because of his disability can they still just throw a 3-day notice at us with NO PRIOR notices?? yes, i said no prior notices, by law shouldn't we have gotten a 30-day notice at least? especially with a child, i would think! anyway, please, i need some advice. the court date is set for tomorrow (6/14/11) morning and i want to know if there's any hope! Thanks
Do you need to fully read before signing a contract or any business legal documents? Do you need the help of a business lawyer to simplify the process and understand the terms?
Is it a contract for the purchase or sale of your entire business? Or just a product? Is a contract for services to which you are binding yourself for a year at minimal cost, such a cell phone? Or are you signing a lease that will be a daily companion so long as you have your current office location?Be smart about things.Sure, you can change your own oil—but you will spend two or three times as much money doing it than the Jiffy Lube folks. If your time allows for you to become an expert—by all means! Do it. Learn to parse legal terminology and you can keep yourself much safer than the person who ignores it.But, you cannot replace legal training and experience.A good lawyer will help you know when to pay some money for a review and when to just sign on the bottom line.I was always surprised by how much money and effort people would put into creating LLC’s or shell corporations or Trusts and the like, but then sign any old piece of paper pushed in front of them.You are binding yourself or your entity to an agreement when you sign something—take the time to understand it.If you don’t believe you fully understand what you are signing, get a legal opinion. It will not cost you a great deal and it could save you from losing everything you have.I have seen the results of ill-advised contracting. They are not pretty and can result in terrible consequences to you, your employees, your clients and your family.Get good advice.
Can I upload or share a video of me reading a copyrighted book aloud?
I was contacted via private message and asked to answer, so I will, but Graeme Shimmin has said it quite well. If you are seeking to, as you said in your message to me, create a way for people to access copyrighted works and want to go around the copyright by having people read the texts in a video, this won't work. Copyrighted works are just that, copyrighted. In other words, they are legally protected and you may not, in any way, place it online. You can get away with some very minimal use of portions of books under fair use, but what you are talking about is not even close to fair use. It is simply straight forward copyright violation. The fact you are putting the work in a different medium (video and out loud reading) instead of in print, does not stop the act from being a violation of the copyright holder's rights.Such a plan is simply not a good idea and if brought to the attention of the copyright holders will, at least, get a take down notice and could lead to serious financial consequences. It could actually lead to criminal consequences as well, but that is very unlikely. Criminal copyright cases tend to involve those who are doing a great deal of copyright violations and/or trying to make money. For example, the Pirate Bay is an an example of something that gets people criminally charged. The music industry is very fierce about protecting the copyright in its music. The music industry has been hugely impacted by sharing of its products online. You are more likely to find yourself sued by the music industry if you place its music online than anything else. Singing the songs, technically, would be a copyright violation as well, though, some artists and copyright holders will allow people to get away with such things. It depends on the individual company.
Law Advice---Roommate opening my mail. California?
Wow, you need to tell someone regardless of the legal process. What if she got a hold of a credit card offer or something..like one of those "You've been pre-approved" things. Or a bank statement, etc. The police will deal with her, obviously there will be a court hearing to deal with this, and you'll need to provide witnesses. You didn't sign a lease so you leaving will most likely not be played against you. She broke the law, not just that but a big one. It's against Federal law to tamper with mail that is not addressed to you, and she'd most likely serve 6 months or so...of course this depends on her criminal history. By reporting her she will be seized and placed under arrest, legally you can get a lawyer and press charges against her. If you choose not to press charges then nothing will happen to her. She'll probobly be released on bail after her arrest but she'll have papers served for a court hearing for onstruction of mail. As the court goes on, depending on if she did open accounts under your name then she may have more on her plate. She's a criminal, she broke the law, she broke your trust and took advantage of you. You deserve justice. If she is in fact proven to be guilty, then your financial rrecords will be watched (because you never know if she opened a credit card in your name etc). People who do this have a reason, and a bust in your credit can make or break you when making a large financial decision; taking a loan out for school, buying a car, buying a house. I hope I helped.
