Today was I believe the third time I've asked my lawyer about something and she's said "That's a good question" and then not expounded whatsoever.

my lawyer told me that I should defraud the Russian government with fake nuclear materials so I think it's important to understand that they don't always speak purely literally

I mean the question is basically "how does it work when the guy I'm suing declares bankruptcy while having 5m in assets and only 500k in liabilities" even if its an idiotic question it seems like I should be able to get some sort of answer but I guess I'm too stupid and this is stuff that everyone knows.

Most questions are intensely fact specific and involve often complex interwoven law at a local, state, and federal level. Your question was probably a good question that the lawyer couldn't give you advice on right away because he or she didn't want to guess at an answer. Even subject matter experts don't have a complete command of minutiae at their fingertips. Coming to a correct answer may require thinking and research and putting the puzzle pieces together, which takes time (and your money). Just your question had me thinking about corporate layers and piercing the veil and my state's rules about that vs the federal bankruptcy rules about that, not to mention which assets are cohabited dwellings or bitcoins or any other of eight billion complicating factors. So, it was probably a good question.

This is a question that will require local & state knowledge of bankruptcy law that your average PI attorney is not just going to know offhand unless they worked at a bankruptcy firm before. They've probably gotta find out the answer themselves and want to give you the correct answer. Your lawyer is absolutely working to get you the biggest possible amount because that also nets them the biggest amount. Your interests here are aligned.

Canada, but I imagine the answer is similar everywhere. My wife's best friend is divorcing her husband. My wife's best friend has a lawyer. Abusive husband does not. How hosed is a pro se idiot against even a legal aid attorney?

D34THROW posted:Canada, but I imagine the answer is similar everywhere. My wife's best friend is divorcing her husband. My wife's best friend has a lawyer. Abusive husband does not. IANAL but from what I've seen watching a bunch of poo poo on YouTube this last 2 years. If Pro-se knows what they are entitled to / your area has calculated support instead of argued support, and poo poo's on the up and up, probably not too hosed. If there's fighting over bullshit etc it can cost lots of money / attorney time and the pro-se may be hosed if they don't know motions to file / requests to make etc. If they're mostly going to just be "this is my poo poo this is your poo poo, everyone keeps their debt and we use the calculated supports" it wont be awful. I had a lawyer and mostly it was him going to conferences / discussions instead of me having to take off of work. If there's fighting over poo poo like who keeps the house, or pro-se is hiding money etc, it may end up bad for the pro-se.

I know that's true but I also worry that she has bigger fish to fry. IIRC she had some kinda case that she took on around the same time as mine that started as an injury case but then turned into a fatality case.

The best possible payout is a crippling injury leaving a child with lifetime medical needs and an inability to ever work. Fatalities are kinda meh in potential by comparison. Just as an FYI.

Anyone following the MI governor kidnapping trial? I just saw that two guys were acquitted, and jury hung on two others. I don't know anything at all about the case.

So, going back at least to 9/11, the FBI really likes to find some low-IQ stooge, get them in a group that's 90% FBI agents and informants, over a period of months talk them into saying "yeah, I'd like to do a terrorism" in some late-night bull session, charge them with conspiracy, and put out a press release saying how great they did at disrupting the terrorist plot (that they created). Usually they do it to indigent Muslims. This time they did it to a white guy who got more of a benefit of the doubt from a jury.

Read The Man Who Was Thursday, by G. K. Chesterton, because it was mostly that and the jury was skeptical that those dudes would have had the idea without all the provocateurs.

MetaJew posted:First time poster in this thread, but hopefully I can get some general advice as to whether I should try to locate a local employment/labor lawyer for further consultation or if it is not worth it. First off, talking to a lawyer never hurts. That said, I don’t think there’s much there unless she had term employment versus at-will. Anyone can be fired for any time for any non-discriminatory or retaliatory reason under an at-will relationship. Without knowing much about Texas law, I imagine that a promissory estoppel or other quasi-contract claim would fail because, in an at-will employment relationship, you have no right to reasonably rely on continued employment. If they didn’t have her sign a release, it was probably just a “sorry we’re morons” payment. Any real potential exposure and the company would have conditioned the payment on a release. If I were you, I would probably ask the company to provide a written statement that her job there was rescinded due to circumstances outside of her control, which could likely be helpful in future interviews. As for retaliation, unless it’s linked to protected activity, you’re not protected from anything. If you say, “you rescinded my wife’s position for no reason and I lost a bunch of money,” all you did was complain. Anti-Retaliation provisions require protected activity, like complaining about discrimination, pay, safety, etc.

Hello thread. Basically I want to take Lufthansa to small claims court for denying me boarding and being outright malicious after the fact. Is it worth it to do that or should I just reach out to my bank? If I do take them to court, what should be my first steps? Any advice would be appreciated and if more information is needed, let me know.

Any advice would be appreciated and if more information is needed, let me know. given your post history that elaborates that what happened was that you were too late to board and they didn't refund your non-refundable non-changeable tickets i think your first step is to seriously ask why you think you have a case

No need to be a dick about it first of all. Second of all that post was made immediately in E/N after they denied me boarding and i got off the line with customer service who told me the tickets, so I wasn't in the best place mentally dickweasel. That said, they said I was too late to board the flight and when I called the customer service, they told me the tickets were nonrefundable, however, when I looked at the tickets that were emailed to me, there was nothing mentioned or shown about the tickets being nonrefundable. If they were, then I wouldn't have shelled out the extra cash to get them insured. When I notified the booking clerk of this, they suggested going to the Consulate for help and promptly disappeared . I had an hour before the flight and they hadn't even started boarding yet and when I reached out later, I found out my seat had been sold off before I got there. Is that enough assweasel or do you need to go through more of my post to form an opinion? Gaunab fucked around with this message at 17:46 on Apr 13, 2022 |
