Commercial landlord tenant law NY state, tenant's right to landlord refusing consent of business sale

It is impossible for a lawyer to advise on a lease without reading it. That said, very often a lease will contain a prohibition against assignment or subleasing without the landlord's consent. The key is whether or not that consent can be reasonably or unreasonably withheld. Take the lease to an attorney who specializes in this area.

NY DUI laws, probable cause

You need to do everything you can to avoid two additional convictions. Three convictions for DWI within a year is a circumstance unlikely to make even the most lenient judge show mercy. I would recommend getting counsel to defend you and getting help with your drinking.

Congratulations on your engagement! When you get married, assuming that is in the United States, see an immigration attorney who will file a petition for adjustment of status to change your wife's status to lawful permanent resident.

What is the procedure for a policeman to provide his credentials if he intends to identify himself as a police officer

Most NYPD officers simply show their badges ("shields" is the local term. On occasion they may also display their photo identification cards. Your last question is pregnant with the story you are not telling us which I wonder whether it concerns an arrest. If so, in the hypothetical situation where a police officer who has just witnessed the commission of a felony in his presence, announces himself as "police" without displaying a badge, if that's your only objection, it's still a valid...

Can I be bumped from a flight when I travel with children?

I am not sure I fully understand your question. Do you believe that you were Involuntarily Denied Boarding (what is commonly called "bumped") solely because you have two children? That seems odd. Airlines are required to file with the U.S. Department of Transportation their Denied Boarding Priority list (see link below). These lists are also available for you to read on the airline's website typically in the section marked "Conditions of Carriage." GENERALLY SPEAKING, the lower you...

How long after a hospital visit can the hospital expect to get paid for a presenting a bill for the first time?

In New York, the Statute of Limitations for breach of contract is six years except for contracts for the sale of goods in which it is four years. In either case, they are within the limits. Be advised that there are several law firms in the city that do nothing other than handle hospital collection lawsuits and that hospitals are not shy about suing people. If the bill is legitimate, now is the time to see if there is any way to negotiate a reduction, or failing that, a payment plan....

Regardomg real estate inheritance

Merely because a property is vacant does not necessarily mean the owner is dead or even that there is no owner. (You aren't talking about the place opposite Two Boots, are you?)

Then, click on the second like below and find out if anyone is paying the Real Estate Taxes on the property. If there is someone paying those taxes, contact him and find...

NY verbal contract law

Oral (not "verbal" by the way since almost all contracts contain words) contracts are sometimes enforceable if they meet the requirements of a contract and the facts of the making of the contract can also be proven. In your case, if the company is located in New York City you can get help from the Department of Consumer Affairs. If elsewhere in the State, from the NYS Attorney General's Office. Where are they?
