I live and work in St louis mo. My employer refused to pay me any sort of wage for the first 1.5 months of my employment stating that he didnt have to since i was in "training" but i was normally here alone running everything. I work approximately 57 hours a week. I was allowed to keep only my tips.
The short answer is "yes," you generally should be paid for training and I believe you might have a strong claim to assert. Whether you are a tipped employee may determine the wage due. Contact an attorney in the St. Louis area to discuss representation in going after your employer for... Read more »
My attorney has put my current legal case in jeopardy. I cannot find other representation nor do I have the money to start over. This attorney exhibited lack of knowledge of my case, he miscommunicated terms, and was not transparent in relaying settlement terms. He pushed the agenda of opposing... Read more »
If a lawsuit has been filed then the attorney needs to file a motion to withdraw and the court must grant the motion before the attorney is off the case. You may oppose the motion to withdraw; however, given your dissatisfaction with the attorney I don’t believe you’ll be satisfied with... Read more »
Anyone can sue anyone for anything. That doesn’t mean you have a viable claim. I don’t believe such a suit would go far but you are free to sue.
There was two case numbers, one number apart from each other. The case the verdicts were issued on is the case that was dismissed
It means that you are missing something. Juries do not decide dismissed claims. It wouldn’t make sense for a jury to issue a verdict on a dismissed claim.
there a lot I've been pulled over in other states but they say missouri want extraordite what is my best course of action
The warrant will never go away until you take care of it. It will show up on criminal background checks, and may cause problems for you if you ever travel outside of the U.S. You can hire an attorney to lift the warrant and represent you for the Possession charge. If you hire an attorney, you... Read more »
My landlord walk in my apartment who is that hoe in the bedroom I find that offisive and harassment
It is generally not unlawful for a landlord to use vulgar speech. Once it comes time to renew your lease, you might want to consider not renewing in order to find a better landlord.
Because medical negligence cases are so expensive, few plaintiffs pay their attorney by the hour. Rather, most attorneys who practice in this area of law represent clients on a contingency basis, meaning the attorney gets paid from the defendant if the case is a success.
Generally not, but there are exceptions. Read your lease. Also pay attention to whether the back of the check contains an endoresement indicating that you are accepting the security deposit as payment in full.
Had an accident 2 years ago in which the other party was at fault. Their insurance company refused to pay but now will. I don't have possession of the car as it's long after but I do have estimates and pictures.
A Missouri attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. As a general matter, they don't really care if you still have the car or not. It's likely that their property damage adjuster inspected the vehicle at the collision shop around the time of the accident. If... Read more »
My ex & I are recently divorced. We sold our home, it was financed in his name only but titled in both. Do we split a refund check from the mortgage company made out to him only? I certainly hope so because my income was used the whole time to make the mortgage payment. Please advise, I... Read more »
There is no general rule in real estate pertaining to this situation. This issue should have been addressed in your asset split in the divorce. Your family law attorney should be able to answer this question, or the answer should be in your marital settlement agreement.
Moving to WA on 3yr orders. I allowed to bring my children. I have primary custody. NC has weekend visitation.
You should closely review and comply with the terms of your Judgment or Order that established your custody. Missouri has a relocation requirements and notice in every custody judgment and parenting plan. I suggest you review and strictly comply with the relocation notice requirements.
We didn't really lived together for the last 5 years, he would visit, because he has a business abroad, and he would come and go every month or two weeks. Now we moved all together to Missouri, but he hasn't given me any money since May 2021, and I have been using my personal savings for... Read more »
If you have been in Missouri for at least 90 days, you can file a Petition for Dissolution or Legal Separation with the court and after your spouse is served with the Petition and accompanying documents then request temporary (also called Pendente Lite or PDL) Orders be entered regarding custody,...

Our neighbor refuses to pay half, says he does not have the money and doesn’t need a permanent fence since his stock is trained to electric fence. Said he will just go back 10 foot and install his electric fence. Is that a way to avoid paying his half of costs ?
There is no legal requirement that neighbors who share a property line share the cost of installing a fence.
That question cannot be adequately answered without more information, such as: Is this actually "willed" to you and your brother and sister, OR is has it actually passed to you immediately by virtue of a non-probate transfer device, such as a Beneficiary Deed. Is there actually an open... Read more »
I got a ticket for expired tags on 8/21/21. The highway patrolman said I could pay the ticket online. It's been way past the 10 day waiting period and the ticket is supposed to viewable online to pay, however when I enter my ticket number I keep getting the message that my ticket is with the...

They may be wanting a fix it on this ticket. You may need to go to court to pay the fine.
My HOA president is verbally saying that townhouse owners are responsible for tree trimming. The "community handbook" I was provided when I purchased the townhome 3 months ago very clearly says the HOA is responsible if the tree is 5' away from the unit. The covenants are vague and... Read more »
Anyone can sue for anything. The neighbor could sue for slander of title regarding the lien. There is no guaranty that the neighbor will win, however, and I have a hunch that the HOA's declaration has a one-sided attorneys' fee provision. That means if the HOA wins in litigation it can...

If bifurcation is a breach of contract
Your post is not well written. I think you need some help.
I deliver in Illinois, a 2 party consent state. I wasn't made aware that the video camera in my vehicle records audio until I found out last week. I also deliver in Missouri. Would it be worth it to sue my employer since I signed no agreement and wasn't verbally notified my audio was... Read more »
Whether it is worth suing will depend upon the following:
1. What is your goal?
2. How much will it cost to sue?
3. What are your chances of prevailing?
4. What damages would you be awarded if you win,
5. Does the IL statute have a provision entitling you to... Read more »
the sycamore is huge. We have only been in the condo for two years. They were going to cut it but decided to have us pay for it.
They are liable if the tree falls, you sue, and you prove negligence. For example, is the tree dying or is it just large?
You need to ask the prison officials on the protocol of marrying its inmate.
