It all happened when I got lost. I was rushing through the streets and stumbled upon a bad neighborhood and got lost. I backed up and I hit some guy. I think he was either a drug addict or homeless. He was shouting at me but I did not understood a word he was saying. I got away as kickly as possible (some of these people carry guns) and hit a white guys car. This suburban guy was obviously in search of drugs.

He wrote my license plate and I don't konw what to do.
Should I get a lawyer? I was thinking of representing myself.

Will the homeless/crack addict sue me? Will the white suburban kid sue me?

This lawyer I know is a family friend. He helped me incorporate my company and gave me the paper to send in myself to the company all lawyers use, cutting off the fee that he would normally charge his clients.

I paid the same fee that he would have paid if he had done it for me (as a normal client), but I would have had to pay the 'lawyer's fee', as well.

Does it make sense to give him a gift equal to the amount of money he saved me, or is that too much and something else will do? Also, I was thinking of giving him a $100-$200 bond, plus a nice fruitbasket/or chocolates. Is that too much?

P.S. I want to retain a good relationship for his future help (not that I'm expecting it for free again, but it just might be).

Hi All,

I am a junior foreign trained lawyer who left Australia in July this year. I have not obtained employment yet (due to restrictions on my visa) and plan on taking the Bar in July next year in New York. I figure with the amount I have to learn I will not be prepared in time for the Feb exam (esp considering I have a holiday planned in december as well)

Anyway I am thinking of not obtaining employment and just focusing on studying until then (luckily my husband is supporting me).

What I want to know is, do you think having a big gap on my resume is going to be a problem when looking for work? I will end up having over 1 year off work (because of both visa issues and studying for the bar). Do you think it will cause problems for me in finding future employment? Another problem is that I am in living in Hawaii atm and there is a great lack of legal jobs available.

My godmother designated my mother as her power of attorney a few years ago. Over the past year, she has been verbally abusing my mother and making unreasonable demands upon her, which is taking a toll on my own mother's health. I was curious if my mother has the right to "surrender" her P.O.A. status? How would she go about doing it?

Gotten a couple calls in the last few days from -
(484) 224-1778
(586) 473-6079
(407) 777-5432

These calls come to my cell phone. I know no one in these area codes so I know now who they are coming from.

What I do is keep the Spanish speaking recording on the line, then when a person comes on I explain to them in my bad Spanish and English combination that I am not interested in what they are selling. This is two fold- it keeps them from calling someone else in that time and it might eventually get through to someone that understands English.

AT&T has told me that they can do nothing about the calls, but I plan on calling them every time I get one of these calls, just to annoy them and maybe then they will do something about the solicitors.

Also I have registered my phone at - www.donotcall.gov/ in order to get off these people's call list.

I have nothing against Spanish speaking people, just solicitors (whom I think are the bane of everyone - kinda like lawyers).

Most people get paid time and a half for working on Christmas or Thanksgiving. I questioned my employer about this and they told me the extra pay was figured into my salary even though I am paid by the hour. This just doesn't sound right to me. It is a county government in North Carolina. Not sure what laws apply or how I can figure out what they mean by this.

It's pretty much accepted everywhere that prostitution is a bad thing, but what exactly is so bad or unethical about it? You could think of it just like any other service, like fixing a car. You pay, then you get service. What do you guys think?

I was in a store with my wife at the customer service counter. I was actually standing a few feet behind her waiting to finish a purchase. When she finished, I took a step back to make room for her to get by so we could leave. In the process, I tripped and fell over a small child (maybe 2 or 3 y/o) who was just sitting on the floor behind my feet completely unsupervised, while her mom and grandmom were at another customer service counter. Anyway, I fell hard and broke my wrist and landed hard on this kid. I could feel and hear the sound of his head smack against the hard floor of the store. Naturally, the kid was crying and I felt absolutely terrible, I said I was sorry to the kid and tried to see if he was ok. I was certain he hit his head pretty damn hard but the mom was like 'don't worry it was an accident ...What..No apology, for her carelessness. so my wife and I left to the Hospital . I couldn't help but think that if the kids mom would have been paying better attention to child.

If they are private companies and for profit - how are they allowed to have our private information - keep a file on us - then turn around and charge us to see it?

I know we get one free credit report a year - but lets just say I start a file on you. Only let you see it once a year unless you pay me. This has your social security number and address in it AND affects your life in a major way. It could keep you from getting jobs and housing. How is that legal?

Debbie Shank, a Wal-Mart employee, was gravely injured in a 2001 car accident after colliding with a truck. The accident left Ms. Shank brain damaged and confined to a nursing home. The driver of the truck was found at-fault. Ms. Shank’s Wal-Mart health insurance paid the bills from the accident and the court judgment allows her family to continue to pay her massive medical bills. But now, Wal-Mart is suing Ms. Shank to get that judgment paid back to them, entering federal court demanding the civil suit judgment and legal fees be paid back to the company – nearly $470,000. Ms. Shank’s attorney Maurice Graham: “The cost to care for her in the future is going to be literally millions. She is confined to a nursing home, has a normal life expectancy and requires full-time care.” Wal-Mart called its action “standard procedure.
The settlement: $900,000 fter legal fees,wal marts share and expenses they are left with $119,280 to pay for her care.
