Law & Ethics - September 2007

Neighbor problems. I have this person who seems to not get the hint, that he is harassing us. I have tried to solve this by just calmly speaking to him, then shouting. Would a restraining order, keep this fool away? I have a secondary suggestion, but that is not legal. How much would it cost, and how to go about getting one?

My checkbook was stolen and the theif wrote a bogus check, basically signing it and writing down a fake SSN and phone#. It is Food Lion policy to check ID's on all checks. The amount is $135 and my bank has already agreed to pay me back. Because of this I had to close my account and open a new one. I am in the process of rerouting all my automatic deposits and withdrawals and had to file a police report in case a bunch of bogus checks are returned to me. Can I at least file papers and hope to settle out of court or am I barking up a tree that will eventually fall down on top of me?

I bought a pink razr phone from a store on ebay (paid $130, but thats alot for me- I'm in college!) it was supposed to be new in box, never opened, with motorola phone tools and a handsfree headset. I got it and the headset was fuzzy, the software didnt work, it was two different colors pink, and when i turned it on it was in some foreign language. I changed it to English but it had misspelled words like personalise instead of personalize etc.. Then the select button stopped working. Then the back button stopped working. Then the zero button stopped working. This is in less than a full day after I had gotten it. I contacted the seller, they offer a 7 day exchange but you have to get a return authorization #. So I emailed them and they asked for pictures I guess to see if I had harmed the phone. I sent THREE and havent heard from them. I have been emailing them for 4 days straight and NOTHING!!!!!! I am so angry! What can I do?

i am from california and would like to know if there are such things as attorney interns or something like that....like law students that will take on cases just for the experience or maybe one that if they believed it would benefit them or the party involved, would take on the case in hopes there would be a payoff? See, i have an accident case that i was convinced into filling jointly with the other parties involved. I now know that i should have and could have filed my own separate claim and i do want to do so .... i just dont have the money up front to put out or the knowledge necessary to represent myself..... i dont think i do anyway..i thought it would be helpful if there were student lawyers that work on these kinds of cases ..... any info on something like this here in the state of california will be helpful and much appreciated !thanx!

I recieved a citation for speeding. I have an otherwise completely clean record on all counts (no traffic violations, no arrests). I've done a little research and it looks like I could contest it based on technicalities like when the laser was last calibrated, etc etc. My brother said because it is my first infraction I can 'defer' it. If anyone wants to chime in on this issue, I have to mail it back to the court in 12 days (9/18). Oh, and I am in Seattle, WA if that helps.

I'm tired of these Liberal p-u-s-s-i-e-s that think guns are the problem. I got my first .22 when i was 5 years old, i'm now 23 and have been shooting the entire time, and own some 30 guns of various types. Not once have any of my guns killed a person, except when i was in Iraq, and i didn't technically 'own' THAT gun. who agrees?

to save your own life or someone else's? my teacher in my criminal justice class said that you had better think about if you have it in you or not, because if you don't, you are a danger to yourself and those around you and you better get another job. i can't believe that anyone wouldn't have it in them. it's an innocent person vs. a killer. easy choice, right?

the main Benificiary in her Will and that she had asked a neightbour, a guy named "Red" to be the sole Executor. In a phone call a month before she died, she told me that she had fallen out with Red because she would not lend him money. She since discovered that he was up to his eyes in debt, had borrowed from everyone and was blacklisted among local traders. She said that when her health improved she was going to change her Will and have her solicitor as the sole executor, but I am sure that she died before she could do this. I know she had substantial amounts of money in different accounts but don't know which ones or how much. The Will states that the Residue is to go to me. My question is. Can I find out how much money she had in her accounts, or is the Residue whatever Red says it is?

My fiance has two children with a girl who is pyschotic. She drinks all the time and hates that he is with me and our kids that we have together so she uses visits with her kids as a punishment toward my fiance. She will not let him see them b/c of me. She is very immature and we have tried to reason with her and I have personally tried talking with her one on one and be an adult about the whole thing but there is no use. He pays child support and does try to be a dad. She's impossible to reason with or deal with. Its always an arguement about me when he tried to talk to her about the kids. We have asked about him getting visitation rights and so on and we make too make to get financial help and at the same time cannot afford a lawyer. He doesnt feel he should have to take from our family and children by paying child support for children he cannot even father or be a part of. He's thought about giving up rights so that he wont have any obligation to her anymore. What can he do and how?
