What is good and bad about freeuslaptop.com because it has some ads that you have to select?

Generally speaking, a site with a premise like freeuslaptops.com is dubious and, in my experience, is likely best avoided due to privacy concerns. I hope this helps.

Forming a new LLC, Question regarding naming in NY

The basic answer to your question is: no. Using a DBA to circumvent the Banking Law and LLC Law naming rules will likely be immediately denied and/or if for whatever reason is overlooked will come back to bite you badly later. What you need to do is consult with an attorney to qualify your LLC for a banking department license and approval for the use of the name to coincide with the filing of your LLC's Articles of Organization. I hope this helps. Disclaimer: This answer is for...

And nor can the average attorney. that being said, you need not only to get an attorney, but one experienced in family and divorce law, especially where kids are involved.

"defamation of business reputation"

As has been mentioned, there are many hurdles in addressing the typical negative service/product review. First and foremost, the web site operator will typically be completely shielded by Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. Secondly, with regard to gaining the actual identity of the posters, you should consult with an attorney to parse the actual language of the posts for defamatory language. If there is something truly defamatory (e.g., an expression of a falsehood that may be...

Opening up a corporate bank account for an LLC with bad personal credit.

You will likely have no difficulty opening the bank account as that presents no risk to any bank. However, in my clients' experience, nearly every bank (especially in this climate) evaluates the personal credit history of the company's principals, prior to issuing a line of credit or credit card (in some instances even making a principal sign for personal liability on the card). It is unfortunate, but as mentioned, every bank is different and some are more/less conservative then others.

I've invented a new card game. How do I go about protecting myself from lawsuits based on rule similarities to other games?

The foundation of your inquiry should be the actual protectable elements at stake here. If they choose to, the competitor companies would leverage those items to make a claim against you. In your case and in my opinion, the similarity of rules on a functional level will likely not be a copyright infringement since rule sets are not copyrightable matter (as opposed to the actual text used to relay those rules to an end user, which even then is not copyrightable matter.) So assuming you...

What kind of attorneys could assist me on this? civil rights and personal injury or more?

To add to the other posts, it might be beneficial to retain a personal injury attorney who is either knowledgeable about criminal matters (bookings, suspect rights, etc.) or is connected with a firm that has criminal law practitioners. This is not an ordinary slip and fall and the fact it happened in police custody may very likely intorduce new variables and new claims. I hope this helps.

Trademark Infringement Settlement

The good news is that trademark infringement awards are purely civil in nature and are no differnt ultimately from other financial debts. You mention your husband is "being sued" but then continue that there is a "settlement." A settlement comes after being sued not during, generally speaking. You should be clear with yourself what stage this actual dispute is in, to fully understand your options. For example, if this is still in the attorney demand letter phase, (i.e., attorneys have...

Intellectual property law

The first thing you should check and see is whether you had your employee sign some form of confidentiality agreement. Trade secrets (as opposed to copyrights, trademarks, patents) are protectable only by virtue of a contractual obligation on the part of the disclosing party to do so. Even if you do have such an agreement in place, you would want to make sure that the terms of that agreement survive termination/separation of the employee. Secondly, you may also want to determine if these...

Internet and competing business

First you should assess whether your photos have been registered for copyright. Second, even if they have not been, you may want to send the website a cease and desist letter demanding immediate cessation of any use of the photos, under threat of legal action. Also, if the copyrights are not registered, you should seek to do that immediately, if they have commercial value. Other than a demand letter, there is no "quick" way to get the website to stop, as a legal matter. If they resist...
