Law & Ethics - October 2007

I am not sure if I worded the questions correctly. My sister has signed a document drafted by an attorney and did not understand what she was signing. Is there anything she can do after the document was signed. Any help would be appreciated.

I was with him at the time and he knew I had his credit card and was using it. I used it for $1400 worth of charges and cash advances. We got into a big fight and broke up, and the day after he filed criminal charges against me. I already have an ACD and don't know what is going to happen. He knew I had the card and is just trying to get back at me for breaking up with him and being with someone else. What am I looking at, and do I have a case at all.

From every website you've been to, when you were there, and how long you were there, to every single letter you type in a search engine or e-mail.

True?

Ok.. here is the deal.. I am removing my middle name on the portion where it says "mothers maiden name" from my sons birth certficate because they have it wrong and they wont replace it with the right one. My son's social security records have the right middle name on his records where they ask for mothers maiden name.



His birth certificate will read:

Mothers Maiden Name: Daisy Garden

On his social security records, they have my right middle name on mothers information or maiden name

"Daisy Flower Garden."

Will he have a problem down the line? I called social security and they said it would be ok since they have the correct information for his mothers information.

I just need some reassurance. I know it may seem so silly.... :(

I handle responsible gaming for a large casino. I have a situation with a mentally challenged woman who frequents my casino with her mentally challenged bf almost everyday. My dilemma is this, they both come on one the free shuttle and in turn recieve $5 to gamble with. That's all the money they have. After spending that money they wonder the casino bothering other guests. When we confront her she become irrate. We also found that she is diabetic and have had to treat her several times. We have tried to get her legal guardian, which is her father to sign exclusion paperwork to keep her from riding the bus to the casino, but he refuses. I feel he's using us as a way to "baby-sit" her while he's at work. I'm trying to convince my casino to do a forced exclusion, but they say there is no legal reason to do this. Is there anyway I can get someone to help this girl? Everyone here seems to think that it's "not their problem".

I am in medical malpractice settlement negotiations with a dentist. Her insurance company was handling the negotiations, then the dentist license expired and the insurance company dropped the dentist. The dentist obtained a new policy from a new insurance company. Now the original insurance company has dropped out of negotiations. Is it possible that the original insurance company wants me to file suit against the dentist, and then the new insurance company will have to defend the dentist? Or, because the first insurance company received the initial settlement letter with notice of intent to sue, they will have to carry on and defend the dentist even though they no longer have the dentist as a client. Please clarify the typical procedure in this type of situation. Thanks a million! N.

I am an owner in a townhome complex. One of the nieghbors has had up to 3 cars around his garage taking up space of the other owners. They have been seen installing radios or fixing them till 9pm. Other neighbors are complaining and have asked them to stop. They say it is their right. Can anyone tell me if there is anything legally we can do to get them to mover their business? Or is it even legal? If there is a website I can review I would love to know it. Thanks

I just gave my 2 week notice today. Not even before the day is over...I was informed that they already found a replacement and she will be starting Monday. However, they will only need me to work for 1 more week instead of two weeks.

Is it fair for them to let me go early? Also, as an employee of the company, by law do they have to pay me for the two weeks if they are letting me early?

Here is the catch: I am getting paid under the table. I know it's stupid and I shouldn't have done that, but at that time it was an offer that I couldn't refuse. Besides, they preferred it that way. I was getting paid as a regular employee but when I put my two week notice a while back they asked me to stay and offered to pay me under the table and all this crap!

I just feel that even though technically I am "not an employee with the company". I get paid under the table and no, they don't 1099 me. I want to go into my boss's office and tell him that I have as much rights as a regular employee.

I recently hung (with great pride) my UCLA flag from my window in my apartment. Now the apartment manager is telling me I cant have it hanging. I dont see why not if its not controversial in any way. Its hanging from the inside of my window and it is not "cluttering" or damaging the appearance of the unit. Can they make me put it down just because they want me to?

My husband has a 4year old son. We were recently married. My new mother in law took her grandson from the wedding to her house so he can spend the night with her. His mother said she wanted him back on Sunday morning. When his mother picked him up my mother in law gave her an attitude. Anyways needless to say my husand found out and was very mad at his mother. He does not want there to be conflict. M mother in law said she lied and now she is pissed. She told me over the phone that she will wait a few weeks then call her lawyer and sue her grandsons mother for grandparent rights. She wants everyother weekend and 2 weeks in the summer. MY husand gets his son every weekend. Is it possible for her to do this or can my husband stop it? I havnt said anything to him about it as I was just informed. He is at work and I really dont want to get him mad. I will however tell him when he gets home. I would just like an insight on the legal views of this if possible

I am all in favor of people with disabilities having all the same rights as me. But in this case I have to wonder. My neighbor Achboro ( think that's how it's spelled) got his permit and now he has been shooting everything around his house. I have had to replace two windows, 3 plastic flamingos and a door bell.

He told me that he was only trying to shoot down the planes that made too much noise that interfered with him watching American Idol.

Should I call the police, or simply shoot off his satelite dish so watching TV won't be an issue.
