To fully answer your question, the contract would have to be reviewed. On a general basis, a contractor typically provides a warranty and so the issues you have described would likely fall within the warranty. Independent of any warranty, if the contractor did not complete the scope of work or... Read more »
I've practiced criminal law here for over 30 years and in my experience people rarely get jail time for first offense misdemeanors in Lake County, but it is possible. You should discuss this with your attorney who will know the facts and circumstances of your case and your record and thus, be... Read more »
Defaulted on a bank line of credit. They won a judgement. They are trying to collect in court but they sold the debt to a collection company. Is it legal to double dip?
Selling a judgment is not double dipping. During a post judgment proceeding you will be entitled to a credit for payments you made toward the judgment. From your question it does not appear that you have made any such payments. By selling the judgment the judgment creditor has simply transferred... Read more »

I received this check after I was named Executor of my father's estate by the probate court.
Then what happens after opening an account with the check? If my dad has no outstanding debt?
You need to open a bank account for the estate. To do that, you will need a federal tax id number for the estate and the letters testamentary from the court appointing you as executor. After opening that bank account, you can deposit the check into the estate bank account.
The home was mine since 2001. He did not move in until 2017. Is he entitled to half the growth since 2017 or half of all the profit?
Based on the information you have provided, I am inclined to believe the house is your non-marital property, but that's not necessarily all there is to it.

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 »
