I purchased a few Blu ray movies from a distributor in China.

Asked by a user in Miami, FL - over 1 year ago.

Right now you are not accused of anything, and are unlikely to be based on one sale. I would stop selling the DVD's, and get rid of any remaining copies. Once a "crime" is committed it is a crime regardless of future actions. Anyone who knows that a person committed a crime can contact the authorities. Since this was a one time deal it is doubtful that anyone would go through all the trouble of trying to prove it was the DVD you sold that was turned over. This is a lengthy process. I...

I have been working for a company for 8 years as a sales representative.

Asked by a user in Leesburg, FL - almost 2 years ago.

If you have a contract the answer is in the compensation section. If not you are somewhat at the whim of your manager. Unless they have discriminated against you by violating one of the protected classes, you probably don't have a good lawsuit. However, without significant details it is impossible to give a great answer so a consultation with a local attorney would at least let you know of your options. Good luck!

Need business advice.

Asked by a user in Fort Lauderdale, FL - almost 2 years ago.

Are you having civil or criminal issues? Both the state and the Feds have come down hard on this industry due to all the fraudulent companies in this field. If it is civil I would continue to service the clients. If it is criminal you need to have an attorney who knows the facts decide. I have seen the state stop pursuing companies after they close - but they do not have to stop. The Feds usually pursue it no matter what. Get an attorney quickly!

What Is The Best Way To Leave A Reverse Mortgage To An Heir?

Asked by a user in Jacksonville, FL - almost 2 years ago.

In general a reverse mortgaged house is just like any other mortgage as far as inheritance rights are concerned. So depending upon your situation a standard will or trust should work. However, I always recommend seeing a local attorney for an estate plan. Way too often I see a "home-made" estate plan end up in probate as the person was unclear, or did not understand how to do it correctly. Also, the "do-it-yourself- Will" software programs often are not correct for Florida.

Divorce has been filed against me and I have no money to get an Attorney.Contacted Legal Aid.Informed they can't help me.

Asked by a user in Orange Park, FL - almost 2 years ago.

Although I would suggest an attorney - you will be heard. What outcome do you want? If there are not much in assets then it should be simple to divide the assets. If you do some online research you should have a good idea what to expect. I would be happy to provide more details but your question doesn't provide information such as: are there children, is this mutually agreed, how long have you been married? These questions will determine the degree of difficulty as well as what you will...

If a renter finds out a landlord is going into foreclosure, does the renter have to honor the remaining months on the lease?

Asked by a user in Jacksonville, FL - over 2 years ago.

I have seen many tenants who feel that since the landlord is in foreclosure; he is not paying the bank so why should I. This thought process can get you into trouble. First you would breach (break) your contract and he could pursue you by hurting your credit, evicting you, and filing suit for the accelerated balance. There is no defense that he "may" not be paying the bank. Foreclosures can happen even if he has paid the bank, but forgot about the taxes or even a mechanics lien. The...

Representing ProSe in foreclosure suit. What is the proper document to file in response to receiving Order for Conference late?

Asked by a user in Port Saint Lucie, FL - 12 months ago.

It is difficult to answer without knowing what motions were heard and what was already ruled upon. If I missed a hearing/status conference. I would provide a copy of all documentation (postmark, Order, etc.) and ask for a rehearing or reset of the conference after I checked the docket. You would need a motion showing excusable neglect or a good reason, and a proposed order. It will need to be within ten days. Also update the court with your new address as a notice of change of address. I...

Can an HOA deny access to your property in Florida?

Asked by a user in Longwood, FL - 12 months ago.

I disagree...They cannot restrict your access to your house! I have edited the statue but feel free to Google it. They can restrict your access to the pool, gym, other common areas, etc. The following Florida Statute applies: 720.305 Obligations of members; remedies at law or in equity; levy of fines and suspension of use rights; failure to fill sufficient number of vacancies on board of directors to constitute a quorum; appointment of receiver upon petition of any member.-- (2) If...

What to do about psychological harassment by boss, owner of the business?

Asked by a user in Miami, FL - 12 months ago.

Sometimes the best thing to do is just to walk away. Although there may be legal actions - he may not have any money anyway. I would suggest contacting your local legal aid as they may have very reduced or no fees. Good luck but keep looking for a different job.
