Terminated from contract role after weeks of increasingly hostile treatment from my supervisor (partner at the firm) & another project lead (new contract worker. Old friend of supervisor). I received entirely positive feedback for months until they botched a proposal and lost the client. The... Read more »
It's also a huge city which is actually very small. Professionals rarely have time to ruin other professionals' lives. They also don't want to give some law firm ammunition for a lawsuit. Remember, it's a one-party consent state to record others so I assume that I am being recorded on every... Read more »

Does investment company such as (Ameritrade) falls under Banking
Investment companies do fall under banking, and other areas governed by statutes. Statutes, as a general rule, tend more to address types of industries, types of work, conduct, or specific actions more so than identifying companies. Good luck

my brother is 18, moved out of his father's, while my mother is still paying child support. My brother now lives with me. Who and or what should we do to get the money back to my brother instead of his father
If your brother is going to school full time, he is entitled to be supported. Since he is living with you he can file for support in Family Court but he will need a good reason why he isn't living with either of his parents. He should speak to a lawyer about all of the facts of the case.
John sold the entire stamp collection to a museum. The will was not altered to reflect the change in ownership.
It doesn't matter that the will wasn't changed, the will is effective as the date of death as to what is in John's possession at that time. Since the stamps were no longer John's for whatever reason, the bequest is like it never was.
Hello, I am looking to start a home business in NYC. I researched and it seems to be possible under the Multiple Dwelling Law, due to the creative nature of the business (a home recording studio for music producers). It will take up less than 25% of my home and only one person will be in at a time.... Read more »
This is a relatively in-depth question that would need some research and additional details from you. You would need to check building rules, bylaws, zoning, multiple dwelling law compliance (if applicable), rent regulatory rules (if applicable) etc. Most likely though it is not permitted if you...

What form do I use for nys
There's a ton of standard forms out there, between the commercial form companies and public agencies. Since the form you use must be acceptable to your bank, ask them to identify a form for you from one of the commercial vendors, or provide you with a standard boilerplate form they accept....

For Onondaga county.
Section 245 f says if two people's names are on the lease, then a total of 4 can live in the house, is this correct?
This varies throughout the state based on what municipality you live in. You should check you local building code and rent regulations.
If they were still legally married, he has all rights of a married spouse unless there is an agreement between them waiving those rights. That might include a prenuptial or separation agreement.
I heard we could maybe do a prenuptial agreement despite already being married that would protect her from my personal debt should I die. Or perhaps there is some kind of trust that would protect her from creditors should I pass away? I was thinking about insurance but I have a severe heart... Read more »
As long as her assets are in her name, there is no problem. If the assets are joint, now might be the time to move assets to her name. Depending upon the debt amount and how your assets are held, bankruptcy is an option for you. A trust can work, but the value of a trust depends upon the kind... Read more »

Can I refuse? We are still employed - my job has 50 and or less employees
Is it illegal? No. Is it sketchy? Yes. Can you be fired for not doing it? Maybe. It would be hard to prove improper conduct by the employer.
This sounds like a question that may be better suited for a consult with an attorney (rather than a quick, short answer here) in terms of exactly what is meant by investing in someone, whether it involves providing business loans, grants, credit, or other forms of backing one could consider...

Not exact copy, it says soy candle , and New York instead of France , also my store signature instead of original.
Not a good idea because not only would you be infringing the copyright rights but also the trademark rights of the owner of the famous brand.
They were promised a bonus when they would reopen for full service and a chance at a promotion.
Volunteering during COVID is not legal especially if someone keeps working collecting benefits. That is unemployment fraud and it violates the minimum wage laws.
i have a small buisness and cant afford to pay my employee and hes telling me that if i let him go hes going to sue me. he is an illegal immgarnt
New York is an employment at will state, meaning that an employer can fire an employee without any notice at any time for any reason or even no reason at all. There are some exceptions to this rule, the details of which I recommend you discuss with an attorney as they can be very fact specific.
I’ve had my dog two years. We recently moved to Niagara Falls and yesterday he jumped the fence. Our local spca office has him. How do I prove ownership if he’s still registered with his previous owner.
If you have not properly registered or license the dog evidence of ownership can include a bill of sale or certificate of adoption, vet bills and grooming bills. The SCPA office should advise you what else they will accept.
family album pictures saved over the years are now in possession of nieces and nephews. as the sole survivor of my family, do I have a legal right to these pictures, many of which I have only a memory about. And if so, what could I do to get them back? Included from memory are pictures of my... Read more »
The question is who had the pictures originally. If it was your parents then you may be entitled to them, if the pictures were in someone else's possession and was given by them to the nieces & nephews then you have no claim. The best thing to do is ask for copies of the pictures be made for you.
When I applied for my unemployment benefits my work authorization was valid. During the time when I was getting benefits my work authorization expired. I have applied for work authorization Renewal. Can I get my unemployment benefits after I applied for a new unemployment authorization?
In general, you must have a valid work permit or any immigration status that allows you to work to request unemployment benefits.
You must be authorized to work at the time you apply for the benefit, throughout the time you receive the benefit, and also during the “base period” prior... Read more »

There is no way you are going to get off this loan without paying it off. There are two options. If the home is empty, it can be sold. The mortgage would be paid at sale. Or, if your brother had family living there and they are keeping it, they will need to make an estate proceeding and... Read more »
