Which is better than some rear end in a top hat c-suite person at aetna taking as much money as they can and telling everyone to deal with it.

euphronius posted:The details of how a fired lawyer gets paid are in the representation agreement I finally got mine out to look and there isn't really anything. Just says that their payment is entirely contingent unless they withdraw for cause or are discharged. Doesn't have any details beyond that.

Doesn't have any details beyond that. Even if the agreement doesn't say so, caselaw does. They'll file a lien on your recovery for quantum meruit and a new lawyer you hire while fight it out with them for the fee.

I know. What sucks is this attorney has basically/probably/essentially hoovered up 1/3 of the easy insurance money which makes it less attractive for the next attorney, if I decide I really need to drop her. Having a whiskey smash thanks to the Legal Questions thread again

Why not? As a resident of the state of Delaware wouldn't I have standing that someone is conducting human trafficking within my state which therefore affects me?

Asproigerosis posted:What, so like I have to petition my attorney General to pursue criminal action? So you're doing comedy on a comedy forum, but by definition "sue" is not a criminal proceeding. Lawsuits are not criminal charges. Doesn't matter if they personally stabbed you in the parking lot. You can complain to the police who might tell the attorney general who might bring it to a grand jury, etc. But that's about it.

In Alaska you can bring suit for a peace bond. Like if someone is threatening you with a future crime you can bring an action in the district court, and require them to post bail promising not to commit the crime. If they do commit the crime, it's extra bad because it's also contempt and the bail is forfeit. I've never seen it used, but you could ask a Delaware lawyer about a peace bond.

Can anyone explain the theory of social media as a common carrier to me? What does this Texas law mean and how does it work, functionally. Because lol @ "truth social can eliminate viewpoints but Facebook and Twitter can't"

If you get stuck doing enough rounds of interviews and projects for a company during the interview/application process can you charge them for the work? Say you you do 5 interviews 3 of which you actively perform work for them and complete a research project that takes 20 or so hours. Can you then charge that company for the time you spent regardless of if they hire you?

Zauper posted:Can anyone explain the theory of social media as a common carrier to me? 1) I'd just read it. The first four sentences give you their explanation. 2) You might have to unfriend some people who'd otherwise be in Facebook jail? It's not obvious to me that the effect would be super dramatic. Violation of the law results in the right to sue for injunctive relief and attorney's fees, but not damages. 3) It would apply to them too, if they had 50 million users. You see this kind of thing in the law a lot, where some law will say "this regulation shall apply to businesses with more than X workers", because it's impractical for Jose's Taco Truck to pay for having nutrition facts measured for everything they sell but you still want McDonald's to have to do it. Sometimes these laws are more specifically aimed at a particular business, where (say) Walmart is the only company with more than X workers in the state. Incidentally this provision also keeps Something Awful's eclectic probation/ban scheme in the clear.

Dear Lawyer Goons: I need to find a Real Estate Lawyer (or the right kind of lawyer to draft a Tenants in Common Contract for a home that myself + another party want to co-buy). The home is in MN. How do I find a lawyer for this. Do just find one from the MN Bar website?

Tell me how they should have done it and how they probably screwed up. Yeah, I've been asked to go in on an 'investment' a few times, but never would. For this house, we both are just going to live in it. We both could each pay for it ourselves, but instead of being in debt for decades, we are instead in debt for years this way. We have some pretty clear ideas about what the exit terms are (pending a lawyer). Neither of us have, or will have kids (although that is part of the exit clause in the unlikely event it happens). We are both engineers - we both recently got perma WFH. We are kinda living the dream of buying a big fuckin' house in the middle of nowhere and living that dream.

A lawyer cannot ethically represent both of you in this transaction, you are adverse parties. You should each have your own lawyer to evaluate this.

Representation doesn’t work like that . She (the lawyer ) has to represent one of you only . I suppose there are ways the lawyer could devise ethics waivers around it but now you are signing ethics waivers so what does that tell you
