Lost decision in labor arbitration

Its hard to say because you do not indicate what the arbitration covered. Generally, though, if you bring a claim to arbitration and lose, you may not pursue the claim in another court. However, without knowing all the facts, I cannot provide a more thorough answer. My best advice would be to consult your attorney or an attorney and be prepared to give him/her all the documents from your arbitration.

Got into accident, insurance lapsed. How can i cover other vehicle expense and injury claim?

Times are tough and a lot of us are going through the same times, even lawyers. A lawyer who is not affiliated with a non-profit may...

Playing music to the public

I think we need some more information in order to answer your question. In what way are you planning to play music? Is it for a profitable venture (i.e., a concert or other event), or just from your car stereo? Legal is a loaded word, too. Something can be perfectly legal to do, but could still get you sued for not purchasing the rights to do something or paying the people who own the music to play it. You won't get arrested, but you might still have a legal consequence. I'm sorry if...
