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

Attorney answers:
I have been working for a company for 8 years as a sales representative.
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!

Attorney answers:
Need business advice.
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?
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.

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

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

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