I’m a previous insurance agency owner and was just offered a sales job from a separate agency within the same company. I sold my agency ~2 years ago and the contract of the sale contained a non-compete clause for 3 years. The contract states that I cannot solicit business from my previous clients or prospective clients. The statement regarding previous clients is pretty cut and dry. The terms regarding prospective clients is a little more fuzzy. It does not specify if the “prospective” clients only applies to the leads I had while I owned the agency or if new leads would also fall under the category of a “prospective” client. The separate agency owner is a close friend and I don’t want anything legally to fall back on her. Can someone give me a little advice?

I left a scathing Glassdoor review for my last employer. It includes both factual and opinions. I received the following email from Glassdoor asking for an extra verification. What does this exactly mean?

I’m a 26 (F) from Florida who met a FTM girl on a dating website from California. We talked on the phone for a few months and I got to know her and she seemed pretty cool at the time. She told me she was 18 and I didn’t really have a reason not to believe her because it’s not like she was going to school or anything and when I asked her to show me her ID, she showed me the ID but covered the face and said she didn’t like the picture. That’s normal for girls to do that.. or that’s what I thought at least. After a few months of getting to know her on the phone, I went to go meet with her and we ended up having sex on the first night. The following week I went back home. While I was back home, she sent me a long text message out of the blue saying that she apologizes and she lied about her age but she will be 18. It’s a bit late for that. I went to go see her just as friends because she manipulated me into feeling bad for her and said she wanted to kill herself and her mom did too. Her mom kept saying “what if she commits suicide because you left her it’ll be all because of you, your name would be on the suicide note and they’ll come after you”. I came back a couple months later to see her strictly as friends when I had enough money. She went through my phone when I was sleeping and that’s when it started. She started beating on me, she gave me a black eye and held me captive for a month until I made an urgent excuse to leave. When I was back home she kept threatening to call the cops on me and put me behind bars if i don’t come back. I came back and she kept beating on me every other day and she choked me out and tried to kill me. This time I had to escape because I feared for my life. She’s using her age as leverage to get away with what she’s doing to me. I came back to california, which was my biggest mistake. Her parents knew my age at the time when I was 25. Her parents said and I quote “If you’re older, that’s even better for her” they’re technically soliciting a minor to have sexual relations with an adult. She’s now trying to extort me by forcing me to put cars in my name, renting out an office space for her in my name so that she can do business illegally in that office space, and give her my pay checks. She even drives the car in my name illegally. Not only this, but her mother put hands on me before and they’re basically using manipulative tactics to keep me there like physical and financial abuse and also saying they’ll put me behind bars. Mind you, the FTM girl (17) is talking to other dudes. Her mom allows her to drink alcohol and go to 18 and up parties which led me to believe that she was actually 18. The entire time she was using a fake ID or an ID that was never hers. What do I do in this situation? She’s literally threatened to kill me several times and I’m afraid for my life and I miss my mom and my family. We are in the state of california and I reside in Florida but I’m stuck here because someone who is old enough to make decisions, decided to lie to me. She lured me across the country to abuse me in all aspects. She’s 10x stronger than me. I have all proof and evidence of the solicitation and abuse. I need advice.

Hi everyone. I’m an adult who lives in Kentucky and I am the only child of my father. He did not have a living will. I was not consulted about medical decisions when he was ill and comatose (nor was my mother, his wife who he was still legally married to at the time of his death). My mother and I STRONGLY disagree with the medical decisions his other family members made for him. His illness was brief, and we were never told he was sick or in the hospital (his siblings did not have contact with me for several years prior to his death). We were only contacted after he died. My father and I had not spoken for around 7 years prior to his death, but had I known he was sick, my mother and I absolutely would have been there with him and would have made different decisions, and I truly believe he would still be alive today. However, because he had no living will, I don’t know if my mother and I have any sort of legal case against his family. My parents were separated but, as I said before, still legally married. They never divorced. There was nothing that would have prevented his family from contacting us and consulting us about the decisions. Google tells me that here in KY, my mother and I should have been consulted before his other family members were, but I really know nothing about the law so I was hoping someone here could tell me if I have a case. Also, I have no idea what his siblings told the doctors regarding my mother and I. I’m assuming they told him my parents were divorced and probably didn’t even tell the doctors he had a child, but that’s just an assumption.

I have started to rack my brain and review articles and law opinions and I can’t find a definitive answer to this question. Someone I met, name will be MM. MM has a 14 y/o child. MM is admitted to hospital for reasons unrelated to substance issues. I will refer to the child as NN. It will make pronouns and nouns to describe whom they are to each other unnecessary. Anyway…

After MM had been admitted to the hospital for a couple days a urine panel (which included a tox screen) is done and the results are back on day 2 or 3. Suddenly the following day MM must only have supervised visits (with an accompanying security gaurd).

On day one of this policy, NN (child) wanted to visit MM (parent) was told no visits could happen at the time of day NN arrived due to staff shortages and the unavailability of security guards. The following evening the same problem. On the second day NN is going to get to the bottom of this. Refused a visit the allegedly singular security guard unable to accompany NN on the visit due to the fact that he is the only security guard the guard provides her with a number to the wing of the hospital where MM is. (at a rural type hospital even with less than 100 beds, one security guard only on the night shift seems unlikely to me, but that’s my opinion only).

NN calls for answers. After a call or two of staff trying to blow NN off, the incessant nature of the inquiry reaches the doctor in charge of MMs care. During the call NN is with a close family friend who was the driver and visitor as well. No evidence of need to question witness accounts exists the legality of the action in question is as follows:

Doctor tells NN that parent had a list of four popular illicit drugs in their system. Doctor says also as a result of this knowledge Dr. informs NN that Dr. notified local police as well as CPS about Drs. Patient MMs “drug abuse”

What??? Wait, you did what? Red flags fly up. He is not a mandated reporter. It cannot be an exception to patient-doctor privilege and privacy, HIPAA, etc, could it? The allegation is merely that MM urine tox panel revealed metabolites of an opiate from the eastern world, a stimulant from South America, a synthesized opioid now reportedly in almost all other drugs. THAT is reason to contact not only CPS/Child protection/Human services but the local police!!! Is it now a crime to test positive for drugs in a hospital?

Let’s even assume briefly that the doctor was also saying that actual physical drug substances were found in the patients belongings after a search was done. How even does that qualify as the business of law enforcement or child services. Even so, I don’t think that sound anywhere close to protocol I know from personal experience as a result of being admitted both for drugs and not for drugs and happening to have drugs on my person at the time of my hospitilzation that usual protocol is to destroy drugs, tell patient, ask if patient needs help, etc. The absolute last thing I would ever expect them to do is to contact LE and also tell CPS and then tell a child of the patient that Dr has done so?

Did the doctor even know to whom they were speaking? Going by the information known to the doctor; Dr. believes Dr. is speaking to 14 y/o child. It should not be in question to our audience here but how could Dr. be so sure whom they are sharing sensitive information with? Someone who claims to be a child?

Am I crazy? Or is this “sue”-icide (word invented to describe person who wants to self inflict a lawsuit!)

Can some legal expert explain that this is legal? Does any ordinary person find this outrageous? When I heard this I was beside myself, first my cynicism asked, was the kid lying or mishearing or misinterpreting? I don’t know, but taking it for face value: what the actual fuck? (asking for a friend).

One of my closest friends got a dui and asked me if I’d write a character statement. What should I include and keep out of it. I was planning to keep it personal and short? Anyone have advice?

I recently got locked out of my bedroom at ~9PM in the evening and tried contacting the property management emergency line and was told they don't handle resolving that.

I ended up calling a locksmith that charged me around $500. I want my property management to cover the fees, but they seem reluctant to do so. I was planning to file a Small Claims case against them. Is this something that fits within Small Claims?

I'm in Seattle, WA.

EDIT: Door handle was one of those where you'd expect to be able to unlock by fitting a rod through. This didn't work because the door was installed incorrectly.

To start, our apartment gave us a 4 day heads up that we had to be moved out of our apartment. The apartment we would be moving into is the one right next to us. The people in the unit before we would always hear arguing, throwing glasses and breaking stuff in there. It would be really convenient, but it's damaged all over the place with horrible patch work. They wanted to move us into a much smaller apartment for the same price were paying or to move us into that one, and have told us we're not allowed to break our current lease even though we need to sign a new one(?) What can I do in this situation? Do I demand at the very least a cheaper rent payment, try to take them to court, or just deal with it? This whole process has been frustrating and I don't know what to do at this point. We talk to the leasing office tomorrow morning and I could really use some advice.

Our house ( our primary residence) in FL was recently flooded. We evacuated for a day and came back to 4 ft of water. We were in total shock and were looking desperately for a water mitigation company. We had multiple companies trying to take on a project but ultimately went to the local company. Every company we talked to wanted us to sign a contact without giving us a total cost justifying that it was an industry standard at the times of a natural disaster ( “ we don’t know how much damage there is unless we start working and taking things apart”). We signed the contact that stated that we would be responsible for the cost of water mitigation and that if we don’t pay the final bill, they can put a lien on our property. Of course, looking back at it, I realize that it was unbelievable stupid but we were put in such a desperate position that we were the mercy of the contractors. Fast forward to the completion of water mitigation, we received a bill for $38K. NFIP flood insurance only covered almost $10k so we are stuck with $28K out of pocket. At the time when we lost almost everything, this is devastating and we want to know what our options are. $38K for 5 days of work for 2 guys and 2 days of dehumidifiers seems outrageous but I’m not an expert. NFIP flood states that their coverage is consistent with the local standards and rate. Can I report this as price gouging in FL? Is there any legal way out of it with the understanding that contact was signed when we were in total shock from what happened? Any help would be greatly appreciated. We are public school teachers and never had anything like that happened to us.

I own and manage a pet-free short term rental. A guest recently stayed with their emotional support animal (not a service animal). The guest left their dog unattended several times during the stay and peed in the unit. I charged a fee for the damage, highlighting the parts of the terms and conditions of booking about not leaving the animal unattended without prior permission and not having unhousebroken animals. Now the guest is threatening to report me for discrimination and violating the Fair Housing Act. Does the guest have any legal ground?

I recently moved to F, ARKANSAS and have been helping my mother-in-law with her landscaping floral business. She has a contract that she has with some businesses where she will make them natural wreaths and garlands for those customers. Sometimes she does actually get permission from people to cut some limbs off Magnolia's, Cypress, Pine and Juniper. But I came to realize that most of the stuff she gets herself (or someone else thats helping her) is on properties without any form or consent. "I Mostly cut stuff on the side of the roads" in her own words. I've been attempting to explain how this is probably not lawful and she will argue with me about it.

Reddit, is this illegal and if so how can I explain it to this hard-headed women. She's been doing this for 20 years and I'm worried for the peoples tree's here.... and my girlfriend who's kinda forced into helping her make these wreaths and such.

Is this even legit or just intimidation? A family member hired a company, told me about their horrible experience, and I wrote them a review. Now they're claiming it's defamation. If the review was honest to their experience, can it really be defamation? Should I call their bluff and take them to court to get this crappy company shut down? Or just delete my review like they want?

I was going to post this on r/askhr but this is a little more legal than HR related. I am in a protected class and am basically certain I am being mistreated by some staff (to include employees of same and higher job title) due to being in that protected class. Specific examples are being documented and everything. I even have examples from 2019. I have some witnesses that are willing to come forward. However I am not well versed in how this all works? Usually when employees (note the plurality) are claiming any kind of differing treatment at work on the basis of protected class they come together with other people of a protected class to file something against an employer. For example employer A is in an urban area and 25% of the employees are black. However no black employees are ever promoted and black employees are micromanaged. This would be a violation of numerous laws both within any state and especially federal law (i.e. 1964 Civil Rights Act).

How would I go about proving differing treatment when I am the only person in a protected class? Where I live and work there are not many people at all of the same protected class.

My friend is currently homeless and lost their job after being sentenced to two years probation for a misdemeanor assault in Colorado. Theyre planning on leaving to north carolina to live with family. They dont really have time to wait for them to transfer their probation. Can a lawyer sort this out for them later or will they always just have the warrant if they dont go back and serve time?

What are my options if my landlord lets my roommate move out without my agreement and wants me to sign an amendment?

We spoke to the landlord a week ago about one of us moving out. They said we have to give a 20 day notice and all have to agree or the person moving still has to pay rent until the lease is up. A week later they said they are letting her off immediately and want me to sign and amended lease as the only tenant. I can't afford the apartment by myself and they gave me zero notice. They also won't tell me why they are allowing it.

I recently took a new job with a company in Washington state. I was offered a sign-on bonus, which I accepted. The job offer mentions that if I leave the company within 2 years, I have to pay the money back. However, another part of the agreement states that the timeframe is 1 year.

I noticed the discrepancy at the time but didn’t worry about it much, as I was pretty excited about the job. However, after the last few weeks, I’m beginning to think this may not be a good fit.

My question is, is the offer letter valid since it has two timeframes? If it is, which date would be the accepted date?

I’m not interested in opinions. I would appreciate it if someone could cite any legal resources.

Much Appreciated!

Hello, I have a few questions about copyright laws on youtube.

Me and my friends are making a parody of a movie with our own story, voiceovers and sound effects, we plan on making it a big thing and before going all in we need to know whether it would even be publishable on youtube.

The parody is of the first “pirates of the caribbean” from 2003 owned by Disney I think, and as mentioned, we will have our own voiceovers with a different storyline and no-copyright sound effects and music, so we’ll only be using the movie’s visuals with some parts cut out of it, no original audio.

Not sure if it matters, but we’re from Slovakia and are making it in our language. The idea is inspired by a slovak parody of Harry Potter from over 10 years ago, which is still up on youtube, albeit with some parts missing due to overly edgy humour.

Are we even going to be able to publish this once its finished?

Monetisation is very unlikely, but just to make sure, it it were to be publishable, we wouldn’t be able to make any money off of it, right?

What are some things to look out for regarding parody content, so we don’t get into much trouble with youtube?

Thank you for your time!

Hi, so as the tittle implies, the other day while trying to park and backed up into a car. I immediately parked and the guy came out smoking a cigarette. I was in shock so immediately apologized. I asked him for his information, but he said just his phone number is fine. So I gave him my number and left. He finally called 3 days later. I missed his call and I was about to call back but realized I some red flags. I swear I didn’t see him while I was backing up and he barely turned into the parking lot. He could have easily have hit me as he was coming from the street. Again, he was smoking so he was distracted and with him not wanting to exchange information makes it more suspicious. Now I’m wondering if I’m getting scammed. What should I do next?

My girlfriend works at a restaurant. The owners, who make a ton of money and have insurance, got sued last year for not properly taking care of the parking lot and having someone slip and fall on it. They are now trying to get all the employees to sign a document making them liable for anything that happens in the parking lot (if someone else slips and falls). Is this legal? Is it just something shitty for them to do? My girlfriend really needs the money but I don't think she should sign this even if it means her getting fired.

They used to be friends years ago before a falling out that has since ruined my partner’s last two years of Highschool. We’re both seniors and the girl is a junior and won’t stop stalking her and doing things to force her way into her life. She’s already said she wants nothing to do with her and has said so every single time it is brought to the disciplinary officer’s attention. We think he is taking the girls side because she went to him first and told him that my partner told her she should kill herself while passing by her in the hallway. I WAS THERE. SHE DID NOT. But she didn’t mention that to the officer because she was so stressed about getting it over with, and when we asked to pull camera footage he denied the request.

A few days later (not even a week) she was called back into his office and he had pulled camera footage of my partner trying to avoid her in the hallway so that she didn’t have to interact with her. He accused her of saying something to another friend who was walking with her about the girl, which she did not.

This girl keeps watching everything she does, uses fake accounts to stalk her socials, overreacts any time they are in close proximity, and tries to make issues when there isn’t even any interaction to begin with. She is making up scenarios and it’s getting attention that we don’t have the proof to deny.

It has even escalated to outside of school hours where the girl and her mother had a verbal altercation during a school football game (because she wouldn’t stop staring at them and giving them rude looks for no reason, they were literally just watching the game) where she called the police and had to be escorted out while yelling that she was scared for her life because of my partner’s family (while she was on the field at the time, not even in the seats with them). This girl was also (as she usually does) taking pictures and videos of my partner’s sister who is on the cheer team and was also performing.

Her parents won’t contact a lawyer or get warrants to get school camera footage or have her phone searched. I’m worried that this girl is going to try and ruin her senior year because she is trying to start stuff every day now it seems. It’s taking a toll on her health and I can tell. What can I do? Is there anything I can do without proof? How can we get the school to believe our side when our story is that we are sick and tired of her and don’t even want to be around her? They’ve already signed contracts saying they wouldn’t interact with each other but the girl ignored them and went right back to it when they expired.

Hello from Kansas, I am a little at wits end and have decided it will not hurt peace of mind to ask. Hopefully I word this well. I am VA disabled for my back and leg. I have been for 3 years. I walk with a cane and avoid stairs when I can. The judge in my current custody case knows this but just about every time he asks,” have you gotten a job?” I have even told him once that I had a sub teacher job but he replied with, “I was hoping you would at least be part time.” We have never had any issues with finances and he is aware of this. He also says things like because I do not work I am limiting income on purpose and does not grant child support. I have been told to ignore this behavior from him in the past but my family is concerned by what they have recently seen. Should I be concerned about this behavior toward me?

My great uncle recently passed away. Even though he was American, he spent the majority of his life in Germany. When he was in the army back in the late 60s he got stationed overseas. He ended up marrying a german girl there. Even though he didn’t move back to the US ever again, he also didn’t take the german citizenship in the decades of living there.

His wife is still alive, they didn’t have kids. They owned a house and a bank account in Germany. However, he also maintained a separate brokerage account in the US. She wasn’t listed as a joint owner nor beneficiary. He did not leave a will. The funds in that account would help his widow adding to her small pension.

I am not sure which law applies to this situation? I highly doubt it is under german jurisdiction. After all he was a US citizen and the assets are here in the US. I understand different states have different laws in regards to inheriting. He was born and raised in California. We assume that he got drafted from over there as well. Would California intestate law still apply to his estate after all these years as an expat? I don’t know if he still filed state taxes, maintained a driver license, or where he was registered to vote.

How can his wife get to the funds in that account? Would she be the sole heir of the account?

He had a sister who passed away years ago. However her children are still alive.

I had an account at us bank with a 1000 dollar limit credit card about 3 years ago. They'd had an old address on record, so I never received any notifications about my account after I had thought it was closed. All thought to be paid. The interest had finally built up to 1400, after the 3 years I thought it had been closed. I was given about a week from the time I was served til my court date. Not enough to even prepare for a lawyer. I just have the last year of transaction records which does not reflect a significant owed balance. Less than 10 bucks. Again, wasn't aware. Paid in lump sums of hundreds beforehand while I knew there was any kind of balance. When I called to confirm my account was closed about a month after the date it had closed, an outstanding balance was not mentioned to my knowledge. I doubt I'll get out of this without a few scars on my wallet, but I wanted to see if there's anything I could else I could do to prepare without an attorney on hand.

One of my neighbors has chickens and turkeys. They escape almost daily into our yard and into the street.they also like to jump up to our roof and damage it. They have made it impossible to contact them we have tried. I and my mother are constantly rounding them up and returning them to there yard or at least attempting to because we care about animals we never want to see them suffer. Today there birds escaped again and one of the turkeys started posturing back and forth at my dogs in front of the fence. except this time our large dog was outside and busted out trying to get to them. She chased the birds back to there yard and im fairly certain injured some of them. Do I need to worry about my dog or who's at fault here? Edit: I'd like say this is not my dog it's my mother's and she cried herself to sleep with guilt and anxiety after it happened so im just trying to learn more for her sake

Hey, so i live in a trailer park in Michigan. My father, a disabled veteran lives here as well and we have a 40,000 mortgage on the trailer. Long story short when i moved in it got sold to a company, i keep to myself and dont cause problems but in the two years ive lived here this company has doubled rent already and plans to raise it again in january gives out warnings to evixt over every little thing, the first week i moved in i got a warning right away to mow the grass or id breach contract and get evicted. Working on my car and left a jack on the porch 2 days? Warning of breach of contract move it in 5 days or you get evicted.

None of thats what this is about however. I fell behind on my bills last month and was running late on my lot rent. I got a letter in the mail and a letter served to me with a court date. The guy that served it to me told me if i paid the park before the court date i wouldnt need to appear. I then spoke with the assistant manager of the park and confirmed, she said if you pay the late rent dont go to court. I paid it by check on the 1st and they cashed it on the 6th including late fees. Court was on the 10th. I then paid the next months rent on the 10th. Well yesterday a sheriff showed up at my door and said I am evicted, served me papers saying i need to be out THIS tuesday. I know i should have gotten it in writing that they told me not to go to court and i know i should have went anyway and was really thinking about it bexause i didnt trust them but i didnt, and they turned around and got a default judgement. Idk if it matters but none of the papers i was ever served were asked to be signed by me and my father wasnt personally served anyhing.

I called the park and spoke with the manager. She stated that they went to court because they didnt receive the payment until the 10th. I checked and called back and said no. I paid the late rent on the first and the next months rent on the 10th. She then flip flopped and said oh well you paid it but you didnt pay the court fees with it. What court fees? There were none on the papers served to me, how would i know how much court fees even are? And there was no court yet and they were supposed to dismiss. Court fees were then added to my account online but not until the 18th. She then gave a number to a company that will buy the trailer and said "oh and just so you know, we updated our code and your trailer will need to be brought to code before its sold, it will need to be taken off the skirting we sold it to you on, lay a concrete foundation on the ground and put on it."

I know this unethical companies business model is to sell trailers, squeeze people out of them and then make it difficult to sell so you just abandon it and they come take it over and sell it leaving you with a mortgage. Honestly, i want to get out of here but that wont be possible with an eviction on my record. I want to not have this eviction, put the house up for sale and get out asap. If we cannot figure out immediately what to do me and a 100% disabled veteran will be homeless monday living in a tent in the woods.

I am also pretty sure the law in Michigan is they waive their eviction if they accept a payment before the court date. This whole thing is shady.

Quick question about alimony in NJ. If a person decides their ex owes them money for something unrelated to the kids, the divorce etc, can they decide to withhold an alimony payment or reduce it until they feel they were reimbursed what they decided they were owed? Thank you for any help

There's a leak in the roof of my apartments that is dripping into my unit, I live on the third floor and I first contacted my office of the leak and the paint bubble that came with it 2 weeks ago, the next day they sent someone out to look at it and take pictures. The next week it rained again so they came back, took pictures, asked more questions, and then went up into the crawl space to shopvac some water out of the crawl space. It's been raining on and off since yesterday and I've heard no mention of them coming to check on anything (I didn't hear the door if they did knock...my toddlers are louddddd, but they also have my number and email they frequently contact us through) as I'm checking on it throughout the day I don't see anything out of the ordinary just the paint bubble filling back up (it's not super big but big enough..) and the occasional drip from the blinds but as I'm going to bed I walk to my side of the bed (the side that happens to be next to the leak)and it's soaking wet, there's water dripping from the bottom of the power outlet. There's much more paint bubbles and it's supposed to rain all week. I've already used 3 full sized towels to soak up this water. I'm in Washington state and I'm not currently on a lease we just pay month to month I'm wondering what my next step is? How will they fix this? How will this affect my home life?? Tyia

I’m located in North Carolina.

My mother and I are drafting her will (she isn’t fluent in English). Within her will, she wants to state that my brother will live with me after her passing. He is living with my mother and I. She’s worried about his well-being, a man who is in his 50s. No health concerns that we know of.

We do not get along and I despise him as a person. He’s selfish, manipulative, arrogant, and so many other things. We don’t have any sort of relationship and wouldn’t interact with each other if we didn’t live together. In fact, we don’t talk to each other unless absolutely necessary.

To my knowledge, a will can only dictate executor, beneficiaries, assets, and guardianship of minors and those who do not have the capacity to make important decisions. Correct me if I’m wrong.

I am looking to speed up my uncontested divorce with my spouse and we’re writing up an agreement. Do you think this covers us in basically saying what’s mine before, during and after the divorce is mine, and yours is yours?

“ASSETS The Parties acknowledge that they have agreed upon a division of all assets, owned or possessed by them as matrimonial property or separate property. The Parties are in possession of all of those assets to which each is respectively entitled. Accordingly, neither makes any claim to any assets in the possession of the other.”

Note that I live and was married in California. TIA

I lied about my age I was 11 and they where 14 at the time I told them I was 14 too and now 7 years later there 21 and I just turned 18 I’ve been lying to them about it for a long time there American and I’m from the uk, we’ve been dating a long time but I just found out it was illegal over there to date someone who’s younger when they turned 16 I was still 13.. and we started sexual talking when I was around 15 I told them and they said there gonna report me.. can I go to jail for this.. I’m so scared and I don’t know what to do..
