So pretty much I am stuck trying to get an old article about me removed as it is out dated and no longer reflects my current circumstances as well as using defamatory language. Does anyone know of attorneys that deal with filing takedown requests with article publishers/newsrooms in California? All referrals would be greatly appreciated

Hello, im from Wisconsin. I have lived In my apartment since 2025 with my roommate on a 12 month lease. We signed our renewed lease in April and dropped it in the drop box at the landlords office.

Recently my roommate moved out unexpectedly hired an attorney and asked them to remove her from the lease so she can get out of being responsible for the rent. we were going to meet and sign to remove them from the lease but unexpectedly today I received an email stating the leasing office cannot find our signed rent renewal agreement and now wants me to vacate by the end of next month!

Can they do this legally? They are the ones who lost the signed copy and they never gave us a copy of the rental renewal agreement. I have been paying my rent on time every month even after my roommate moved out. What can I do about this if anything? Do I really have to move out?

Any advice is greatly appreciated

Hello,

I am trying to get a CPO terminated in Ohio. I asked for the CPO a year ago when I was trying to get sober and my partner was not. He is now in prison and wanting to stay sober. Through my mother, hearing about his work on sobriety has motivated me to go into treatment as well. I do not fear him any longer, and I have since learned that most of the reason I feared him in the past was due to others' actions that I mistakenly blamed him for.

I have tried to drop the CPO twice now, and both times the motion was denied. Is this normal? Will continuing to reapply just annoy the magistrate and not get it dropped? Is there anything else I can do to convince her that it should be dropped? I can't afford a lawyer.

So in 2022. My dad's property was caught on fire by the neighbor. Neighbor was welding on his fence in the texas heat, in dry grass and caught our shop /1bd 1 bath apartment on fire. My dad thought that due to putting a claim in with the guys insurance and the insurance denying the claim due to photos taken before we owned the property. .Previous owner was a hoarder. .That we where in a ongoing battle for compensation. I just found out about this. We lost everything we owned in that fire. Because my mom had just died so we where moving into a smaller house, we put everything in the shop for storage and planned to use the attached apartment for a rental so my dad could get some income without me. Along with renting out the main house we had lived in before. Im just wondering if there's anything at all we can do to get some of the value of what we lost. I know its a long shot.

Also side note. The same Neighbor accidentally burned down his own house on the property next door while working on it just a few months before....

Can i get an out of state carry license that lets military carry at 18 if it has reciprocity with michigan and use it here?

2 yrs ago, I took my car to a mechanic; during their service they talked me into replacing my spark plugs.

A few days ago, my car won't start. We replace the battery and do a few other things before towing it to a mechanic. Mechanic calls me today and tells me that the spark plugs in my car are not the correct model for my car and they were likely replaced with a "cheaper" alternative, but that alternative model cannot last more than a couple years without being blown out - spark plugs are meant to last 5 to 10 years on average.

The previous mechanic did not tell me they were using a cheaper part or the risk of it wearing out faster. I'd like for them to compensate me for the costs of the repairs I've now done (the new battery, the tow service, and the mechanic bill). Do I need a lawyer for this, it would be small claims, or can I manage it on my own? And if so, what are the steps?

I live in Washington state. My grandma was in a short term rehab facility for approximately 2 weeks after being hospitalized for lung cancer. This facility was fined >180k earlier this year.

She began sending my family voice messages at 3pm saying she was short of breath, in pain and having a hard time breathing and was certain she had a lung infection. She told us she was waiting on staff at the facility to help her. Her complaints continued, so I went to the facility after getting off work. When i arrived her call light was on. As I walked past the nurse station there were at least 4 employees sitting at the nurses station. My grandma said she had been waiting a long time and felt they were ignoring her complaints. I noticed her supplemental oxygen was turned up to 5L NC, when she typically is at 3L. She didn't know she was turned up that high and didn't know who did that. I

waited with my grandma for a few minutes then decided to go to the nurses station where the same 4 staff members we still sitting. I told them my grandma was having a hard time breathing and thought she has a lung infection and would like her oxygen saturation checked. They told me someone would be in. Approximately 5 minutes later someone walked into her room, turned off her call and immediately left without saying a single word to us. I sat with her for hours as she continued to tell staff her complaints. Not once was an assessment done with a stethoscope. I witness as she politely asked them 4 different times to check her oxygen saturation before they finally did.

We were eventually told a stat chest xray would be done. She waited almost 4 additional hours and it was never completed. My grandma called 911 herself after 6 hours of advocating for herself. She was admitted to the hospital with a viral respiratory infection and died 3 days later.

Could this be a case of medical negligence? I feel they caused her unnecessary pain and suffering. Thank you.

We submitted our HOA Landscaping proposal for a row of staggered trees with smaller shrubs in between. It was approved by the board. My neighbor was on the HOA board and voted no, but the rest of the board voted yes.

My neighbor claims the trees and shrub combination make a hedge or will eventually form a hedge. Hedges taller than 4 feet are not allowed in the neighborhood. The rest of the board and I understood the proposal and final product to be staggered trees and shrubs of alternating species and heights, not a proper hedge.

My neighbor is claiming the row of trees and shrubs obstruct his view of the lake in my backyard, and that the 4 foot hedge rule is in place to protect views. In essence, it acts as a hedge and therefore should have never been approved.

There is an entirely new HOA board now, we’ve submitted new proposals to the new board to add-on to our Landscaping which has also been approved and installed.

Now I receive letters from my neighbor and from my neighbors lawyer asking him that we remove all of our Landscaping, should have never been approved, not allowed, etc. They want to take us to court.

Side note: my neighbor was on the board when it was approved the first time and even called for several “special meetings” to discuss the vote before and after voting occurred. Some of these meetings, the neighborhood was not even invited to which I understand to be a violation of Florida statutes.

My main questions:

- does he have any case against me? Shouldn’t my neighbor be going after the HOA who approved my proposal? Even so, it’s a new board now?

- am I protected by estoppel? I simply acted on an approval. The ambiguity in the interpretation of a hedge versus trees was exactly why I submitted to the board for discussion and voting.

It’s also worth noting there are other examples of hedges taller than 4 feet in our neighborhood, but it’s such a small neighborhood and a relaxed HOA most of the time that no fines or violations are reported. Most of the time people add to their Landscaping without even submitting anything to the board, I wanted to go about it the right way to make sure it was allowed, so I submitted my proposal.

Is defamation by implication/innuendo really a thing?
I keep seeing people say “Truth is an absolute defense to defamation.”
This seems weird to me.

Lets say you tell others “John is definitely NOT a sex offender! I repeat: John is NOT a sex offender! ;)”

If John is not a sex offender, does this matter? Is there any defamation here if the message is clear but technically the truth was told?

If there is defamation here, then where’s the line between having defamation by innuendo and having no case at all?

Something happened to a family member at a hotel here in Atlanta, and we're trying to understand what would actually make the hotel itself liable rather than just whoever attacked her, since obviously that person isn't worth suing on their own. Does it come down to security staffing, prior incidents at the property, or something else entirely.

We hired a roofing company to replace our roof, their work caused a leak and we ended up needing to hire a new company to fix our roof. I submitted a case to a small claims court and won. We later found out that the registered agent the sheriff’s office served no longer represents the company and had not been updated online. We then spoke to a lawyer to see if they could help or even start the process over again but they’ve only told us that there can’t be two judgments against the same debt and have since stopped responding. Any advice would be appreciated. Always read that small claims court was straight forward but even with trying to research process it has been difficult.

Hello! I work at a grooming salon in CA and got the strangest email.

It’s a a letter from a personal injury lawyer who is also the dog owner. She says we nick her dog at their appointment. The dog does not have a laceration as she claims. It was just licking himself raw. She wants a refund and payment for their dog’s related injuries. We are fine with this and we agree to do it.

The unreasonable part is she wants us to reimburse her for the time she took off to take care of the dog. She bills $400 an hour and she took off 6 hours to care for the dog. The issue is she took the dog to the vet on a Saturday, a week after the grooming appointment.

it’s why the bill she sent over is over $3,000. The vet fee and grooming service cost together $400 only. I am trying not to be rude and be understanding but that seems excessive. Our insurance guy says this is ridiculous. Do you think this is unreasonable?

This is in California near LA btw. None of this is official court filing. Just email. The insurance guy also thinks it’s unethical to use her work email for this demand and for personal gain.

There's a group of anonymous accounts posting my name, workplace and old photos with nasty comments. I've blocked and reported them but it keeps going.

Someone posted private photos of me on a site I'd never heard of. I emailed the contact address three times and got nothing. Google still shows the page. I reported the images through Google's form but it's been weeks. Is there anything with more teeth than emailing and hoping?

A friend of mine was assaulted at a fraternity party at a California university last spring. The guy is still enrolled and the chapter is still hosting events like nothing happened. She reported it to the school and got a form email about "resources." She's not sure if she can do anything beyond the school process, or if the fraternity itself can even be named in something. I told her I'd ask around because she doesn't want to post anywhere herself.

Someone recently was holding drugs for someone and there was an anonymous tip saying they had drugs, there was a search warrant issued and when the police showed up the suspect gave them the drugs.

I know that an anonymous tip is not sufficient to issue a search warrant.

Dose the fact that the warrant was obtained unlawfully then taint the entire interaction or is there any valid line of reasoning where the judge can claim attenuation

Hi everyone! I'm looking for a reliable immigration attorney for an H-1B transfer, preferably under $2,000 in legal fees. I'm based in Boston but open to attorneys anywhere in the US.

Does anyone have personal recommendations? Please share the attorney's name, fees, and your experience. Looking for someone trustworthy with no hidden charges.

Thanks!

I was seeing a therapist for about a year and he started crossing lines that I'm now pretty sure weren't okay. I stopped going. I don't know if this is a licensing board matter or if there's an actual legal case here.

It’s a straightforward breach of contract - the other party signed contract and received full service, never paid, and when I was asking for my money back, she made several false reports to HR at my company and also 911 of me being life threatening?

I believe she photoshopped some evidence otherwise the authority wouldn't have taken it seriously.

One time when she made the report, I was physically in a hospital. Plenty of proof to show the accusations are false.

anyone knows a good lawyer who can handle this?

Just found out through a group chat that a teacher from my old high school was let go back in 2011 and nobody ever explained why. People are now saying it was because of how he treated some of the female students. I was in his class and nothing happened to me, but I remember a few things that look different now. A couple of former classmates are talking about what to do. Some want to report, some just want to stay quiet. I don't know if there's even anything anyone can do this many years later, or if the district would have had to know something back then for it to matter. Part of me wonders if it's even my place to say anything since nothing happened to me. I'm not trying to start drama. I just keep thinking about it.

Location: California, US. Paid in full for bridgework. The dentist took payment from the insurance before seating the final prosthesis. I had to move away and was probably not going to be able to finish treatment with them. Extracted two teeth, pulled out infection, prepped two teeth for crowns and did put grafting in. The site of the infection was never treated and when the day came to put my permanents in, my gums had subsided so much that they didn’t fit. They temporarily adhered the ill fit porcelain in my mouth as that was all they had on hand and sent me to a specialist. Specialist said wait 4 or six months. Two weeks later the temp adhesive failed and the porcelain fell out of my face and broke. I went back and got another set of lightweight temporary bridge work installed. Two weeks later I took a job outside of the continental United States and said I would try to make it back to them for the final procedure but it was unlikely.
I returned four months later and they couldn’t take me up on the opportunity to finish.
I started to pursue a refund for the services not rendered and went in circles with them for six months as they had overcharged my insurance and I initially and refunded me that portion but not for the expense porcelain they never put in. I finally got the financial specialist to understand that difference and they said that I and my insurance was indeed authorized a refund for the portion that they didn’t accomplish. Five months later still my insurance or myself have not received anything.
I try contacting them and they site the initial overcharge refund then quit answering any of my correspondence at all.
I got my insurance to get them on a call where they gave them a bogus number for the check supposedly sent to my insurance and deny me my portion saying that they gave me the broken porcelain and I was refunded all that they’re going to pay me already ($400 of about $5000 out of pocket where most of the cost is in the porcelain bridge itself).
It was suggested by the insurance agent that called for me that I get a transcript of the call, file grievances with them, the commissioner, and the board.
I’m having a hard time finding a lawyer to consult. Do I have a case here if they are saying that the insurance is to be paid back for the services not rendered but not me?
