Law & Ethics - November 2007

A woman that works for my husband by the name of "Sally" is ALWAYS having domestic issues with her live in boyfriend. She has left him several times and he shows up at her work (My husband's job) and her house and so on to win her back. She has NEVER pressed charges on him for any of the assualts he has done to her. Now she is wanting a restraining order because of the last issue she had over the weekend. He punched her in the eye and of course she didnt press charges, she just left and not wants a R.O. Now what would happen to "Sally" if she conntacted her ex boyfriend that she has put the R.O. on? Would she be in trouble her self for contacting him via phone or in person at his house?
plus if she was out at apublic club and her ex showed up there how would the R.O. work then?

Thanks for all your help and I am so grateful!!!!

If you're talking to your attorney or lawyer, do your cell phone conversations fall under the attorney-client privileges? Or are they no longer considered private?

I'm an event planner and I was hired to plan this sweet sixteen party for this girl whose family is pretty well off. It is the biggest job I've ever had and I had to turn down some prospective business in order to do it but I thought it was worth it because I was promised a big check. Anyway, I planned most of the party and even chartered the plane to take the girl and her friends to the location of the party, but then I couldn't get the venue on the date they said since they already had another event there. And they refused to move the party to another date or get another location for it since it's what their daughter wanted, so they fired me and said I wouldn't get paid! I'm so angry since I was depending on that money and even turned down work just to work on this! I was wondering if I could sue them and get my money or at least most of it?

This could have been anyone.....I need to find out how to get him removed from the list per the new "romeo & juliet" law passed in July. I am a paralegal, but haven't studied much in this area and have been completely out of practice for about 10 years. Can anyone guide me on the steps that I need to take to get the court petitioned in Florida? Thank you so much.

Before this guy that is terrorizing me said he would kill me if I stopped talking to him. Now, he said "I could never kill you because I love you." and he went on to say he would cut himself if I stop talking to him. I want to get rid of this creep!!! What do I do? Do I have grounds for a restraining order? If I showed the judge the print outs of these conversations on Instant Messenger could I get a restraining order?

Unfortunately we got pulled over and he got a dui in my car. The police arranged a ride for me, and left my car at a parking lot. They put him in jail and got released after 8 hours now he has to go to court on Dec.3rd. My question is what will his punishments be? For 1st time offense and he has a clean record. He does not own a car he is only 24. He works for the city (it is a driving job he has his own truck) on the weekends. He has been with the city for a year now. He has a full time job elsewhere, and he is a server at a rest on sat and sun nights. Do you think the judge will be lenient with him because it was his 1st mistake? I told him I will help pay half of his monthly court fees..but what does a 1st time offense go through? What penalties should he expect? And will he loose his job for the city? Can't he get a restricted license and still work for the city? Please help he is freaking out and I want to help him by being there for him. But I want to know what to expect.

I know #1 is premetitaed, and #2 is none premetitated, but murder is murder! If convicted, they should get life or the needle regardless. I was watching law and order. 3 kids were shot, one died, two others didnt. But it was a hate related crime turned out cause they were jewish and blk. The "perp" got 25 to life. What do you think he should get if he pled guilty?

China sells us things that are made with lead and other crap that is bad for our kids and us parents ! Why should we sit back let them do this to us when they know good and well what they are doing ? It's wrong to let them keep doing this ! Besides the companys selling there crap are getting rich and the ones that don't are going out of business. Why continue to let them make all the money ? Anyways its just a thought ! To all of you who read this have a nice day and if this upsets anyone, sorry !

If an eighteen year old is driving drunk with a passenger, who is fifteen and also drunk, and the car doesn't make the curve because of high speed, and the passenger is ejected and later dies... What charges would be put against the eighteen-year-old driver, if there were no charges from the passenger’s family? And would he be charged with Vehicular Manslaughter, or is there another law for the above?

Would he be put in prison, estimation of how long? What smaller felonies would he face (ex: reckless driving, driving under the influence)?

I have been getting the run around trying to file a child support order, however, I just had the idea of taking the medical bills for my child to small claims court instead and just wanted to know if it can be done successfully and in which state, where I live or where the father lives.

I should tell u I was told I had cancer and had DR notes for my time off,which was only enough time to go to the appt and come back even after finding out this awful news. I was really good at what I did and was praised on how much I had grown w/ the company,however I had only been their a lil over 3 mths. I was wondering how to handel this I know this is wrong but how do I go about this All I want is my job back,no $ . They also gave me unemployment and have never been on it! I just want to know how to apply for the unemployment until I get a job. Will this hurt my chaces to fight? If u were me what would u do? If I got a lawyer would I get my job back or would it make me look guilty? I cant believe they did this I was told by my DR to be honest so I didnt look unrealiable and That they knew why I was in &out,also I scheduled them at lunch.

Over 3000 innocent people were killed in a dastardly attack. People are beheaded and innocent women and children are bombed. So does the same standard of humane treatment apply to the people capable of this type of action?
This is an argument often presented to condone torture. My question is this.
If we capture someone and use torture to determine their guilt, how were we certain that they were this type of monster before we tortured them. Is torture legitimate for everyone we capture because we were attacked? They are not entitled to a trial because they are terrorist. Okay I won't argue that but unless they admitted to being terrorist under torture or were found guilty in a trial how did we know they were terrorist? If we think someone is a terrorist and torture them to force them to talk, then how are we sure that the human standard doesn't apply to them if they haven't confessed yet? Isn't it possible that we might torture someone who is innocent? Is that justice?

we took all the proper steps by telling the authorities. Mom set up polygraphs for the eldest daughter and her husband. She cancelled her husbands. The daughter PASSED hers. Mom still thinks the kids are lying. Step dad was arrested and released. My hubby(dad) has a court order stating that the step dad is NOT to be present during moms visitation. Well mom decided this weekend that she wasn't going to follow it. Step daughter said step dad slept in garage, came in the house to use bathroom, get food. Step son went in jacuzzi with him. They also sat together in church. My husband and I are at our wits end with this woman. Any suggestions?

My husband is being sued in Small Claims Court by Capital One. He showed up for the hearing 3 weeks ago and there was a mix up and the court date was today. He showed up again, the lawyer was unprepared, and the judge gave them a contiuance even though my husband objected. We are unsure about how to fight this. We do not owe the amount of money they are saying we do and want to fight it but I am worried we are going to be picked apart by the lawyer and not get anywhere. Any advice?

My family and I were at a place like Chucky Cheese but a lot larger and when we arrived there it was really crowded. We are white and it was 80% other but we were perfectly ok with that. We are not a racial family and have friends that are of all nationalities. We paid our money and went in. It was extremely overcrowded and over capacity. We got our food but there was no place to sit and the employees were overwhelmed and did not care that we had no where to sit. THey had 6-7 tables sectioned off for parties and would not let anyone sit there eventhough the parties were for later. We got a manager and she was of no help at all and had no idea what to do. We finally found a place and moved another table next to ours for more room. Final story, another party did not like us taking the table and got a police officer. He proceeded to take their side(he was of the same race) and laughed at us when we became upset. Then he proceeded to get in our face. Should I report him and the facility
