I'd like to sell wig hats with hair attached, and embellish it with rhinestones. I'd also like to sew animal ears on them. The hats that I plan to use are from brands like Nike, Chanel, Adidas, and Coca-Cola.
answered on Jun 28, 2022
No. These companies have registered trademarks and trade dress filings that cover the logo hats they manufacture. You may for your own use embellish your own hat by one of these brands but if you sell their hats embellished in commerce they will sue you for infringement, obtain an injunction... Read more »

Under Missouri law, a defendant can ask to withdraw his guilty plea if he can show that he was misled or induced to enter a plea of guilty by fraud, mistake, misapprehension, coercion, duress or fear. There are generally no time limits for filing a Motion to Withdraw a Guilty Plea under Rule... Read more »
Back in 2018, I received financing from a company for a home improvement project. When the project was done, they billed me the remaining balance (which was less than what appears on the original contract).

Yes, it's possible for an attorney to negotiate a plea bargain deal in which a prostitution charge gets amended to a less serious offense. Of course, the outcome depends on the Defendant's criminal history and which court the case is being prosecuted in.

You should call an attorney to discuss your situation. Under the Fair Labor Standards Act employers are not required to pay employees for "bona fide" lunch breaks that last 20 minutes or more.

In Missouri, an oral will is generally not valid. There is an exception but not in the circumstances you describe. Missouri requires a person's last will to be in writing and witnessed and notarized. I'm afraid your father's statements on facebook messenger will not be enforced by a... Read more »

I have been paying for 58 months on a ch. 13 plan. My lawyer just emailed and said I owe $7500 more dollars. I pay $750 a month. They asked if I wanted to pay a lump sum or try to extend my payments for 6 months Nothing has changed since I filed and I made every payment. Is this common?
answered on Jun 14, 2022
I looked into this for a client last fall, and the cases seem pretty clearly to say that the five-year period for a Ch. 13 confirmed plan cannot be extended beyond five years.
It may be that some creditor(s) have filed proofs of claim enlarging the amount you must pay to be current on,... Read more »

Hello,
I have a trademark NOA for a dating service that is free. It is a mobile phone application and a website that serves about 3500+ users - is fair game to file the statement of use for the trademark? Or do I need to start making sales on the app?
answered on Jun 9, 2022
You do not need necessarily have sales. Your product or service needs to be available to the public for use or purchase. In your case you should be able to file a SOU. Consult with an attorney, this is not legal advise.

This is not legal advice, but in general, a trademark owner does not need to show sales in order to satisfy the Statement of Use requirements in response to a Notice of Allowance from the USPTO. There are many charities and other nonprofits that own U.S. federal trademark registrations without ever... Read more »
Unit was left in good condition, and was rented out immediately after we vacated. There are no damages and nothing beyond normal wear and tear. Photos verify this. My understanding is that based on the lack of ability to be present at inspection, we are entitled twice the amount. Is this accurate?

You are entitled to sue for a breach of the security deposit statute. If you win, the court has discretion to award you up to twice the amount wrongfully withheld.

The devil is going to be in the details on this, and there are probably dozens of follow-up questions that a nonprofit attorney (which I am) or an intellectual property attorney (which I am not) would ask you. But here are some thoughts.

Parking lot speed limit was 10mph. Witness who saw it concluded confidently that other person was going much faster than 10mph. Who will insurance find at fault?

A Missouri attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for two weeks. As a general matter nationwide, a vehicle entering the existing main flow of traffic is obligated to yield. If there is video surveillance, that would naturally carry more weight than the observation of a non-expert... Read more »

I need to know what "Mother's address shall be utilized for all mailing and educational purposes for the minor children means in our Divorce degree. I understand the mailing part but does the educational purposes mean that my kids will go to school where my ex-wife lives even if she moves?

Usually that language is to state an address to (1) have one address for important mail to come to so it is not missed and cannot be send to multiple places and (2) direct which school district to use unless otherwise stated in your agreement, parenting plan, or judgment. If the rest of the... Read more »
