What type of attorney would you recommend if you needed to pursue either mediation or litigation with a car dealership?

Electronics arts, in my belief, is violating consumer rights laws. Obviously I’m not a lawyer, that’s why I’m posting here. There are countless people, thousands maybe more, that have EA accounts linked to their PlayStation or Xbox or Nintendo that they can no longer access for whatever reason. In my case my email address was hacked years ago, so I cannot unlink the EA account from my PlayStation. I can’t login with it to unlink it from their website, and most importantly as well as where I believe the law is violated, EA support does not have a reasonable, fair, or responsible way for people to recover or just remove accounts. There are years after my email account was hacked that I still played EA games on my PlayStation, I bought games and spent money in micro transactions, it automatically logged me into the EA account even though my email was hacked. I never thought anything of it, because as much as it sucked what was I gonna do? Recently however, they started some sort of stop gap and now in order to play a game online from EA I have to log into the account and reset the password. When I reached out the technical support the type of questions that I was asked are designed to be impossible. They asked me the network name I created the account on, keeping in mind I made this on PlayStation some years ago I asked what she meant by that. I was told that I couldn’t be informed of anything else with that and that now I had to move onto another question. They wanted the IP address that I made the account from, the list goes on for just totally obscure things that any normal person who made an account on their PlayStation browser when they were younger wouldn’t be able to recall. This is backed up by the sheer amount of people experiencing the problem. Apparently there is a time limit after you try to recover the account that you have to wait before you can attempt it again. Buying games on PlayStation network to play is one thing but allowing me to play on Apex legends under the EA account that I don’t have access to without ever informing me that one day I will need access to it from a website And allowing me to pay in micro transactions directly to EA is not right. With so many people in the same boat I really believe that there has to be something legally that can be done. There are methods that they can use to verify identities that are reasonable. Activision had me give them the name of my PlayStation account, the email address that it was for the Activision account, and send them a photo ID. I was told that I couldn’t recover my account because it wasn’t enough to prove I owned that account, but it was enough for them to know it was my PSN account. They unlinked to that account to allow me to make a new one. Well this wasn’t my favorite option it was reasonable and fair. When I offer EA my ID, or just to take a picture of my PlayStation account with the message telling me I need to login I was told they couldn’t do that. Anyone who has dealt with the EA has experienced their customer support and I imagine no one has had a great experience with it. But I really believe by making you create an account on a console that doesn’t require much information at all and then not providing a way to unlink it from that console using the same information that they asked for is a violation of consumer rights. It is very upsetting to go through their huge process just to be given no means of which you could fix the problem. I would encourage anyone to look through the complaints of this across not only EA’s own website, but Reddit, NeoGaf, Resetera, even on X(Twitter) ————- so my question is whether or not there is some sort of recourse for the genuinely thousands upon thousands of people who don’t have a way to access the account they spent money on, nor away to create a new account to a link to their PlayStation. I feel like the inability to unlink the account isn’t legal. Not only do I own both the PSN and EA account regardless of if they’re willing to give it back. Now an account that I absolutely can verify is mine, my PlayStation network account, is linked to an account that cannot be removed. So this account they won’t give back and they won’t do anything with affects my PlayStation account and has financially cost me money. Every third-party account should have an option to unlink from the hardware. On a PC you can simply create a new account and move on, not providing the same options but asking for the same financial burden is unfair to the consumers. If PC customers have the choice to log into a different account, at the bare minimum shouldn’t that be possible from the PlayStation?

My 12 year old son recently went to live with his dad. His dad has always been and still is abusive towards me, verbally now. The court won’t read any of our messages. Would it be helpful to have a professional read and report in the texts to supply to the court or am I wasting my time?

I am heavily considering going into law school to be a criminal defense attorney. But what is the title? Is it attorney insert last name? I'm sure that's the answer and I don't know why this is such a big question. For example, there's Dr. Blank. I guess because some professions have shortened versions that say exactly what they are, I was just curious if attorney's/ lawyers had that as well. Sorry for the dumb question.

Surely both of them aren't going to jail, are they?

I just saw a video of a sign in Colorado that said “drink and drive” for 5 seconds then changed to “will end your life” we all should know the law is against drinking and driving but my question is if someone saw this sign and started drinking and driving and legitimately thought it was telling him to do it could a lawyer get him off with zero consequences?

In this case the tv judge went with what the plaintiff asked for (with percentage at fault).

I’m assuming the answer is “it depends “ likely based on the state they’re in?

Might be a good Tom/attorney reacts.

I haven't been on this subreddit in a while and I've noticed a disturbing lack of content on the legality of baby kicking. I'm thinking about using this subreddit for emotional distress. Do I have a case?

I watched the Regent University School of Law video awhile back, the one of the professor giving a lecture to students with the premise of never speak to police without legal counsel, no matter the circumstances. His points made sense and that logic has stuck with me as a general princible.

However, I watched a YT video recently of a man who reported his wife was missing. She never came home after they split ways at a bar from an argument and it was getting late in the next day with still no contact. He originally assumed she was staying at her moms. He was obviously worried and called in to law enforcement for help. The police questioned him. As a worried husband he answered all their questions, truthfully and wanting to provide them with all the information they needed to help find his wife. Police eventually found her body and they arrested him for murder and used his words against him. Later after the arrest, the true killer was found and his charges were dropped.

Yes, he put his self in a really bad spot by answering polices questions that made him look to be the prime suspect but,

1. He just wants his wife back, is he suppose to report her missing and then wait till Monday morning when a law firm is open, knowing the first 24-48 hours are the most vital to a missing person case and wanting to do everything he can to help.

2. Reporting your wife missing and immediately refusing to cooperate until you have an attorney is going to FOR SURE throw up a thousand red flags. Police prob aren't going to do any investigating into other people further like they should as they're now tunnel vision on you.

So my questions stands from the title.

So I was court ordered to a 6 month rehab program and for some reason my program manager won't give me a certificate of completion even though I've completed the program. I'm court ordered to complete a inpatient rehab and that's what I did, but the manager of the rehab I'm in is trying to get me to do 6 more months of sober living and after care before she gives me a certificate of completion even though I've completed the rehab. I'm not staying and I already have a court date but if I don't have a certificate to bring back to the court what will happen. I was on misdemeanor probation and violated and decided to flatten my probation out with rehab instead of jail time. Would they put me back in jail or lat me restart my probation or just close my case and I'll be done

I bought a house in April, and have encountered some significant issues that I believe warrant legal action against the sellers team.

We hired an inspection company, suggested by the seller's agent since he had done the 4-point for them prior to listing. Unfortunately for us, he 'missed' significant issues that imply some negligence or intentional misleading. After moving in, we discovered a broken main drain, pipe leak, and improperly hung plumbing that cost about $7k to repair. I immediately contacted the inspector, considering there were photos taken in the area where the pipe was leaking from in the inspection report, but there were no disclosed issues regarding the plumbing. He offered a 1.5x reimbursement (approx $1.1k) that I accepted, under the assumption that would be the end and I could move on with my new home. I did sign a form stating that I accept the compensation as full and final settlement of the plumbing claim. It also stated, "By accepting this compensation, [myself] releases [inspection company] from any further claims, liabilities, or actions related to the inspection conducted on 04/04/2024." (I think this puts a strain on the situation to follow.)

This week, we've found out that the entire HVAC system needs a replacement, estimated at 15k for a new unit handler, outdoor compressor, and air ducts. The house was advertised to have a newer unit less than 10 years old, which it does have a new handler inside; however, there is mold and fiberglass particles. Moreover, the unit was not installed up to code and should have been flagged in the inspection (not sure if appraisers check for this).

These unexpected repairs have put a serious strain on our finances, and I’m concerned that the sellers did not disclose these problems during the sale. With approx 22k in damages and only being in the house for 6 months, and now mold and fiberglass (which *may* make the house be considered unlivable), do I have any grounds for legal actions against the sellers team and/or appraisal company and/or inspectors. I am seeking counsel on Monday, but it's Saturday and I'm extremely frustrated and overwhelmed.

Thanks for your help! 🙏

Obviously hypothetical because it's probably not going to happen.

My friends tagged me in this asking for my thoughts on how this would play out in court, and I'm so deep in the "it depends" rabbit hole that I would love to hear others' thoughts.

Hoa is forcing the full payment of assessments at sale closing. Total of almost 40k included about 9k in interest. The hoa will pocket the interest, because the money is not owed to the bank and it’s being paid early. Is this legal?? Help

I have a question ? I am taking my case to a jury trial and my attorney has not contacted me and he waits till the last minute till we go to court for a plea I've never met the man or even talk to him and I wanted to fight for my case and he was just so rude to me and was cussing at me on the phone the first time I ever talked to him he made me cry and I just don't believe that he would fight for me all the way because he just wanted me to take this plea and just do some time and I don't think it's right I have my rights and I don't think that he has my best interest, and so I wrote a letter and I was wondering if this sounds efficient enough to send to my attorney, prosecutor, Judge.

Dear my attorney I believe that there has been a breakdown in the attorney client relationship. and that he does not appear to be pursuing the discovery demands I have been asking of him. I do not feel confident in his ability to completely prepare for my zealously advocate for me at trial. I'm asking him to file a motion to withdraw as my court appointed Council and for a new appointed of new Council at this time.

Title says it all. Whacker polysilicon. Won't post link since reddit and some mods and mod bots hate them.
