Attorney answers:
Does an oral agreement between two individuals, one representing a corporation fall under the statute of frauds.
The answer is an oral agreement can fall under the statute of frauds, but not for the reasons you outline. The statute of frauds applies to agreements that will not be performed for a year or longer, or for certain other transactions (land, marriage, adoption, etc.). Your oral agreement with the manager is fully enforceable. It is enforceable against the business if, given the circumstrances the manager appeared to be able to bind the business, which if you are sure he is a manager, you...

I co-signed a student loan in Dec 1997. I was never contacted directly by anyone regarding the loan.
I am not in your state, but generally, the answer is no. The statute of limitations on loan repayment generally runs from the date of the last payment. So if you signed a loan in 1997, and the last payment was 6 months ago, then the statute of limiations period is calculated from 6 months ago. Hopefully, you should be able to see when the last payment was made. Another issue for you to investigate is why you had no notice that your wages were being garnished.

Attorney answers:
Is it legal for the head of a household to own one business while a relative living the same household owns and operates another
While I am not in Ohio, your question seems like there is more to the story. As a general rule, there is no reason why the same person in one household cannot own and operate more than one businesses...thus, there is even less reason why two members of the same household own two different businesses.

Attorney answers:
The verdict and transcript of same in my PI case appears to be an obvious forgery, know of any case law about such a thing?
I am not a lawyer in Florida, but your question sounds suspicious. You did not say whether the audio confirms that the transcript you received is a forgery. You will definitely want to document the chain of custody of the tape. I would report it to the court in the first instance, and the court will probably do the right thing.

Attorney answers:
Are software product reviews with video demonstrating how the product works at risk for copyright infringement?
Recognizing that I am in Texas and am not your attorney, here are some things to consider in getting an answer: First, you have not really provided enough information. Generally, one can use portions of a copyrighted product under the fair use exception for things like criticism and commentary. But there are other questions that would need to be answered such as (i) is the commentary/criticism contained in the video; (ii) is the video being used to advertise the criticism; (iii) have you...

Attorney answers:
What action can I take against someone posting my information on a 'personals' website? Can a lawyer do anything to help?
While I'm surprised they are ignoring you, I think your best course of action is to send a letter demanding their response on pain of legal action. The biggest issue confronting a lawsuit is the Communications Decency Act which allows websites to post third-party content (which the profile sounds like it is) without liability (section 230). You could sue for defamation, if the adult website is suggestive enough, and of course, if it is leading to harassment and the like, then you might...
