For dui case state says I have 14 days to respond to get a blow machine and get a work permit I don’t have court for 2 more weeks or ignore the letters and let my lawyer take care of it just don’t want to hurt myself
You should be asking your lawyer this question. I usually advise people to send in the application and then review the evidence before paying for the device. But every case is different. You should really hire a lawyer if you have a pending DUI charge.
He doesn’t want me to tell on him but I feel like I’m going to be responsible for his mess. He hit a car and left the scene. While I was sleeping. The police towed it and I never heard anything. Now I’m out of a car. What should I do? I don’t want to get him in trouble and gets mad if I... Read more »
Please consider the following:
1.) I have never counseled a client to lie and I am not telling you to lie. That said, you need to understand that if you tell the police that your boyfriend took your car, without your permission, you are telling your insurance company that they are not... Read more »
No. The house remains as much a marital asset (subject to equitable division between the parties) as it was prior to the signing of a quit claim deed.

Recently we moved into a 2004 8 story condo in IL without an inspection. We noticed that we were getting a very low pressure and after a while an orange flame started to be visible. I contacted the management and board who said that nobody else in the building had similar issue and since it only... Read more »
An Illinois attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for three weeks. You could try asking the City, but it seems unlikely they would become involved in a private dispute involving an HOA where an owner had opportunity for inspection. In terms of public authorities, you could check... Read more »
The State has offered to purchase a portion of the property. This would include a majority of the septic field. She has nowhere to replace it. They did not have any compensation for this item listed on their offer. Would that make her property inhabitable and what are her options? Do they have to... Read more »
Your daughter needs to make an appointment with an experienced real estate lawyer to discuss this. Make sure she brings to the appointment a copy of the offer the state made.
He drove my car while I was out of the country. Just waiting for my insurance to call back.
It depends on your carrier. Your insurance only covers "licensed drivers." Given that his license was revoked, your brother was NOT a licensed driver. Any carrier could use such an opportunity to legitimately deny a claim. That you were unaware is irrelevant unless he stole the car.... Read more »

It is necessary to know the nature of the faulty stair railing as well as the nature of the injury sustained and whether there are any deficits from the injury. It would be a premises case so you need to establish that the hospital knew or should have known of the defective banister. It is... Read more »

What is your question?
She said because it was training that the state makes them do so that we can care for elderly that she doesnt have to pay us
Your employer does not need to pay you for time spent in training programs, but ONLY if they can meet all of the following criteria: (1) the training is outside normal work hours; (2) the training is voluntary (i.e. not required to perform or keep your job); (3) the training is not job-related; and...

I work for FedEx as a housekeeper through a company called GDI. There are currently no designated areas for employees to have breaks on the premises. There are two conference rooms we are allowed to take breaks if they are not in use in but there is no guarantee we will be able to take a break away... Read more »
There is no legal requirement that an employer give you a designated break room or rest area.
You need to hire an attorney and get a motion to quash on file. Depending on how long ago the warrant was issued, you may currently have a revoked drivers license. Your attorney can help clear that up through this process as well. Then you need to defend or resolve the DUI.
11 months later, I got into a car accident. Officer gave m a revoked license ticket and a traffic ticket. I know I shouldn’t been driving. How do I go about with the old and new traffic violations. I wasn’t arrested by the officer just An I bond.
These are serious charges. You should retain the assistance of an attorney as soon as possible.

You simply send him an email or a letter stating that you are terminating his services effectively immediately, and that you demand a 100% refund. You might state the reason for the termination, but it is not necessary. You have the absolute right to fire him no matter what the reason. You can also... Read more »
What can I do about this it’s now over a month and well over $1200 the company owner keeps saying he’ll pay me but never does and takes a while to reply
If your employer continues to refuse to pay you, then your best bet is to file an action in small claims court in the city you performed the work in to recover the pay you're owed.
