    Legal Advice UPDATE: Company cut down trees without my permission

    Legal Advice UPDATE: Company cut down trees without my permission


    UPDATE: Company cut down trees without my permission

    Posted: 08 Jul 2018 06:13 AM PDT

    In the interest of keeping "Tree Week" going, I've decided to give a small update to this situation.

    Original post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/8j8ml9/tree_service_cut_down_trees_without_my_permission/

    I had an arborist come out and do an evaluation. Out of 12 pines on the lot, 7 had been removed and another species of tree had been damaged (broken in half) by the felling of the pines. They were all 40ft or larger, and the other species was even larger and worth more than the rest combined. I won't say the exact value here, but it was indeed substantial.

    As well, I had a reforestation service come out that was recommended by the arborist. Unfortunately, due to the steep embankment, it is simply not possible to replant 40ft tall pines. They would never take and it would be nigh impossible to accomplish regardless. The largest that would have the highest success of implantation would be 8-10ft tall, and would take 4-5 years after to regain the privacy from the road and development behind us that we had before. Regardless, it was still an extremely high cost to both replant the new trees as well as clear the debris from the old trees off of the hillside.

    My attorney sent a letter to the tree company with a demand for triple damages as well as the costs of reforestation. I received a deluge of calls and voicemails from the owner, which I ignored and sent VM copies to my attorney. I've also seen them on the motion sensor for my cameras driving past my house on multiple occasions, which I let my attorney know about. I let my neighbors know to keep an eye out, and if they see the service at my home while I'm gone to immediately call the police. My attorney had a discussion with them in which the owners said they were going to turn it over to insurance and let them figure it out. They said we had a verbal contract to do work, which I deny, and I have an unsigned quote and video footage showing I left before he even put the quote in my mailbox. I also have the voice recordings with one of the owners explicitly stating their fault in the matter.

    I'll post another update once we hear back from his insurance.

    EDIT: Formatting, some extra details.

    [Ontario][Canada] Found out I own my neighbours house, now what?

    Posted: 08 Jul 2018 07:32 AM PDT

    Throwaway because i'm not sure how this is going to proceed.

    Me and my partner purchased a home in January. It's a semi-detached. Two weeks ago, the city called to say that MCAP was trying to combine the roll numbers for us and our neighbour. They asked if I owned both halves of the semi. I said no, they said they would call back. Two days later the city called and said that the paperwork our lawyer filed said we did own both properties and suggested I call my lawyer.

    I talked to the lawyer and they said they had to look up the records to see what was going on. They called back a couple of days later to say that yes, we do legally own both properties. I decided to talk to my neighbour, and it turns out they don't own the home they rent. Their landlord used to own both properties. They sold our half to a couple last year. That couple divorced and sold the home to us in January. I told all this to my lawyer and she said it looks like our neighbour never severed the properties when she went to sell our half, therefore, she sold both halves of the semi. According to my lawyer, we legally own both properties.

    I've been waiting to hear back from my lawyer now for a couple of days, i haven't heard anything yet. Does anyone know how this might proceed? Is there any precedent here? Most people i've talked to (including my lawyer and real estate agent) have never heard of this happening before. Any advice or suggestions are appreciated.

    [NY] Neighbors kid fell off their trampoline into our yard

    Posted: 07 Jul 2018 08:07 PM PDT

    To expand on the title. Our neighbors kid had been doing backflips on their trampoline and had landed askew and it sent the kid flying into our yard where he had hurt his arm.

    Here is a crude MS Paint diagram of the property lines and houses https://imgur.com/a/kgjVMuX

    The family of the kid is suing us because their 14 year old had hurt himself in our yard technically. I don't know how he did it but he managed to jump high enough to get over the fence and land in our yard. No one on my property was home to witness it. The only reason we found out we we're getting sued was when we got served and the mother of the boy had come over and asked for a cash payment for their sons medical bills. How fucked are we?

    [PART 2] My 60 year old neighbor makes driftwood art as a part-time hobby and sells it. She received a cease and desist letter claiming copyright and trademark infringement.

    Posted: 08 Jul 2018 10:22 AM PDT

    Thanks to everyone, there was a lot of great responses in the previous thread. Unfortunately, not good news in this update.

    Original post

    So the C&D letter from the law firm was real.

    My neighbor got an attorney to respond to the letter, paid $850 for that. That's all she could afford. The attorney she hired received a response from the attorney who sent the C&D and said they are unwilling to discuss settlement and will be filing a lawsuit.

    Her attorney said this is the most petty thing he has ever seen. Especially since the guy has no official registration of any copyright with the US Copyright Office, his damages would be limited to his actual damages, which are completely speculative and likely zero as she hasn't sold any pieces. He believes they are doing this to bully her as they are wealthy and incredibly petty.

    This whole thing has been really stressful for her. What once was a fun hobby for her has kind of put a dark cloud over it, so she stopped making the driftwood art pieces for the time being.

    Unfortunately my neighbor can not afford the legal costs to defend against a lawsuit.

    My question is, as litigation strategy, if the damages they are seeking are less than what she would pay in her own attorney's fees - could she just not contest the claims? Would that be advisable?

    Neighbor threatening to sue, demanding I take down new curtains

    Posted: 07 Jul 2018 09:55 PM PDT

    Throwaway being used, though name fitting.

    Short story: Recently moved in with my sister who lived alone, put up curtains, letter found taped to my car demanding I take them down or I'll be sued for $15,000.

    Long story: I'm 18 and starting college soon, about 2 months ago I moved in to my sister's townhouse, during the move-in process I bought and hung up a bunch of privacy curtains for the back windows and sliding glass door because she just has an itty-bitty back yard with another row of townhouses right behind. Basically, things were in 'full view'.

    I didn't notice it at first but the guy who lives behind us has definitely been watching, I've seen him peering over his fence a few times when I was working outside. I've never met him before, or really know anything about him. Mid 50's? Haven't seen anyone else at his place.

    So yesterday as I was going out for groceries I noticed an envelope taped to my windshield, with my full name on it. Inside was a hand-written note DEMANDING I take down "all recent window coverings" because they violated HOA rules (unspecified) and caused enormous glare (????) into his house. If I don't take them down soon he's going to sue me for ruining his quality of life (???). I know it was creepydude since he signed his name and put his address down.

    He included about a dozen pictures of said curtains, mainly the sliding glass door and the window to my sister's en suite bathroom (WTF???), and some of me installing the curtains.

    So I know this guy is batshit insane but I think I need to prepare for this insanity to start affecting me. Should I prepare for a stupid lawsuit? Get the police to tell him to fuck off??

    Thanks for any advice

    [PA] Ex girlfriend accused me of Rape, now wants to apologize and retract. Can I get an official statement?

    Posted: 08 Jul 2018 08:54 AM PDT

    Hello.

    A few years ago I had a bad breakup with an exgirlfriend after I found out about her secret drug habit. I broke it off and went no contact with her and she slipped down a bad slope of drugs.

    I had found out after we broke up she had started emailing friends coworkers and other people in my field that I had abused and raped her. This caused a lot of problems to the point where I had to hire a lawyer to compile all the information I had to the contrary and send her a nasty letter saying to knock it off basically.

    She stopped after that and a few years went by and I get a letter from her stating she has become clean and that she wants to do what ever she can to make up for what she did earlier.

    I'm over it but her emails have done untold damage to my career and social contacts as having to explain the "crazy ex girlfriend" story to people in the era of #metoo since we live in a small town.

    I was thinking of having some sort of document drawn up saying it was all just a lie and having it notarized and having her sign it then file it away just in case.

    Is there any chance of having this cause any more problems in my future? Is it a good idea? or should I just take her apologies at face value and move on?

    [PA] As an assistant manager, my GM explicitly told me to not hire any black people, what actions can/should be taken?

    Posted: 08 Jul 2018 10:22 AM PDT

    I worked at a restaurant and was the assistant manager. The General Manager told me, almost verbatim, "Do not hire any more black people, especially anyone from Philadelphia". I have a text and a few witnesses to this action, which was stated more than once. I brought it to the attention of a Market Manager, and no action about it was taken. I have since recently quit due to other scummy tactics. My question is what I should do. More information can be provided if needed.

    Wallet was stolen on plane, I suspect by the person next to me. Can the airline search her?

    Posted: 08 Jul 2018 05:40 AM PDT

    Delta flight: Switzerland -> Atlanta, GA

    Hey all, think this qualifies as asking for legal advice.

    On a flight, I placed my wallet in the seat pocket in front of me. 30 minutes later, I got up to use the lavatory, and about an hour later I looked back in the seat pocket and the wallet was gone. Searched for 30 minutes on ground, under seats, including those of my neighbors, and nothing.

    I have a strong suspicion that it was taken by the woman across from me in the aisle, as she would be the only person on the plane who would have seen me place my wallet there and been able to see when my younger family member to my right was being inattentive. Additionally, her position could've made a theft unnoticeable, as she could've simply leaned across the aisle. As soon as I got up to start looking, she immediately offered help, and no one else on the plane did. Also, she continually has been giving off nervous vibes (facial expressions, darting eyes, and a robotic stare at the screen in front of her, even when I look over and stare) when the flight attendants come to talk to me about the wallet.

    I am wondering if it's admissible for the airline to search her bag even though this suspicion does not have much ground. Furthermore, if not, I'm wondering if confronting her in some sort would be a good idea, both from a practical and legal standpoint. My idea is to tell her that my Tile tracker app (which I don't actually have) is saying that my wallet is around her seat and if I can please take a look around.

    Currently still on the flight for another 5 hours. I'd love some advice from you guys.

    [NC] Car dealership lost title/registration paperwork, and now we cannot legally drive our new car

    Posted: 08 Jul 2018 07:31 AM PDT

    We bought a new car in early June, and the temporary tag expired last week. We still have not received the registration and license plate, and we have been back and forth with the dealership trying to work things out. They say we should receive it within the next couple weeks. They also sent us a photocopy of a statement on their letterhead saying that they would reimburse us for any citation received for driving with an expired tag, although to me that seems like they want us to keep driving the car which we are not comfortable with.

    The thing is, my wife is almost full term, and we are counting on bringing the baby home from the hospital in the new car. She is also planning to work up until the baby comes, except right now she cannot legally drive her car to get to work.

    My questions are: 1. Can we be compensated in any way for the duration in which we can't drive the car? 2. They have not been willing to provide a rental car thus far. If they eventually concede to that, then would #1 still apply?

    Thank you!

    Step mom looking up my medical records.

    Posted: 08 Jul 2018 11:29 AM PDT

    I haven't spoken to my dad or step mom in 7 years and for some reason she's obsessed with me. I got a call from a family member that she went to a hospital that I went to (she works for the same company) and pulled my medical records. She knows where I live, who I live with, and she thinks I'm married since I live with my boyfriend. She even went to the extent of looking up the owner of the house who she thinks is BFs dad, but his brother has the same name and his dad has been dead for a decade.

    The only thing is the family member who tipped me off lives with her and fears that physical repercussion will come if I report the incident.

    What are some options to go about this situation, would I be able to call and ask if someone inquired my medical records or if someone looked them up? I know this is unrealistic, but I'm angry to the point where I want her job taken away from her. I feel that my privacy was invaded and paranoia is starting to set in that she will frequent near my house like she did with my ex step mom.

    I'm available to answer and questions, sorry if I didn't explain my situation right.

    Edit: I know for a fact she's trying to take me off of my dads medical insurance before I'm 26, and I believe she's trying to make a case with the records. I told the hospital my bf was my fiancé because he wouldn't of been able to be in the hospital room with me.

    I live in Illinois if that helps.

    Not hired due to my sex.

    Posted: 08 Jul 2018 03:52 AM PDT

    I am the maintenance supervisor of a Walmart store. I had put in my application for the overnight support manager job at my store, as I had been wanting to move up to that position for the past year and a half. I was called into our stores office for an interview with an assistant manger. We walked in, closed the door,and sat ourselves down. The first thing he told me was "I am going to be completely honest with you, I don't believe you're going to get the job." He then went on to tell me that our Head store manager was pressuring him to hire one of the female applicant for the position. He said that his reasoning behind it was that since our shift had mostly female workers that it wouldn't be beneficial to have a male dominated management team. I was then rushed through the "interview" and was not even asked any of the questions pertaining to the interview. I feel as I wasn't given a chance due to me being a male, and that's not what our store was wanting for the job. I had also interviewed for this position a year and a half ago and didn't get the job. The person who did also happened to be female. I feel as I may have gotten the same treatment then as I did this time after hearing what my manager said to me. I've worked here for 4 years and now feel that I have waisted my time trying to climb the ranks. Do I have any case? I have brought it up to Walmart's Corporate Global Ethics and am waiting from a response.

    Being forced out from my own company

    Posted: 08 Jul 2018 09:24 AM PDT

    Hello Reddit.

    Back in February, a friend and I started a company. Two months in, a friend of his started helping and we agreed to let him join the company. So now we each hold 33% of the company shares. We have all contributed an equal amount of money (say 10k) into the company and have spent about 20% of that into office rent, development fee and etc...

    Last Sunday, they called for a meeting and said they want to force me out of the company without giving me any prior notice. Since they hold majority of the company shares, I did not really have any choice but to leave the company that I co-found which is already very devastating. What makes it worse is that they are refusing to give me my investment back. I feel like this is a scam.

    They have drafted and signed an agreement that says that I will return the company shares to them. They said they would give me my money back only after I sign it tomorrow. I have not signed the agreement and am not sure if I should. The agreement does not mention anything about the money that they owe me.

    To make things worse, I transferred the investment to my friends account instead of the company's account because we didn't have a company bank account back then and I trusted him!

    Would I still be able to get my 10k back? And in what way? Any advice would be appreciated!

    And sorry English is not my first language so I tried to keep the story short.

    Edit: Thank you so much for all the quick responses!!! The company that I have shares of is a LLC. Haven't started making any profits.

    What I am worried is that they take all the money, abandon the company and start a new one by themselves. In this case my shares will be worthless. Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening?

    UPDATE: Michigan: Do you need the mother's consent for a paternity test? I want to get one but I do not think my girlfriend will let me. Did the test. He is my son.

    Posted: 07 Jul 2018 03:46 PM PDT

    Previous

    Got a DNA kit from CVS the same day I asked my question (girlfriend went to visit her parents for a few days so I had time to myself) Sent the kit in (took a little longer than what the kit said to arrive but it got there in about a week). I got the results online in a few days and it said that the probability of paternity is 99.99%, thus confirming that my son was indeed my son.

    I'm not entirely sure why I did this. I guess I just really needed that peace of mind. I've never suspected my girlfriend of cheating, never had any reason to believe she cheated, and trust her completely. I guess it was just an irrational fear due to reading some stupid crap online in the past few months and getting way too paranoid. I read some horror stories where guys have their wives cheat on them and end up raising other guys kids for their entire lives and find out several decades later and I started having this irrational fear that I would be that person. In reality, my girlfriend would never cheat on me and we've been together since high school, she's my best friend and there's no reason to suspect infidelity or any foul play.

    Afterwards, I told my girlfriend that I got the paternity test and she was very angry and is making us go to couples therapy and told me to get individual therapy as well.

    My son stood up his prom date, and her parents are threatening a lawsuit (California)

    Posted: 07 Jul 2018 05:48 PM PDT

    My son is 18 and just graduated high school. He had arranged to go to prom with a girl from his class, but they were not "dating". Meaning, they were going to prom more like friends, they were not boyfriend and girlfriend.

    Prom was supposed to be on a Saturday in May. The night before, they were hanging out at someone's house with some other friends, and they had some petty argument about Trump and his treatment of illegal children. It was a stupid argument, but it apparently got quite heated and the parents of the kid whose house it was had to intervene and tell everyone to stop arguing and go home.

    At around 11 AM on Saturday, my son texted her and said he did not wish to go with her anymore. She tried to argue with him but he was firm. He ended up going without a date, and she didn't go at all.

    Then there was graduation and everything, so I figured it was done. However, last week my son received a letter from her mom, asking for $387 to cover her expenses including dress, jewelry and boutonnière. It says "these expenses were incurred by me, on behalf of my daughter, based upon your representation that you would attend the event with her. Since you failed to do so, and since mitigation of damages was not possible given the late notice you provided, you are obligated to reimburse these expenses. Failure to do so by July 31, 2018 will result in legal action."

    Does she have any case here? I think she sold or gave away her ticket to someone, so she isn't asking for that, but is my son required to pay for her dress and stuff?

    I know that my son probably overreacted and shouldn't have done that, which I feel bad about, but please don't judge him on that. I just want to know what we owe her legally.

    If I have missed any important details please let me know and I'll answer.

    Moved across the country and now moving broker is holding many of my family's items hostage and requiring additional payment (WI to TX)

    Posted: 08 Jul 2018 10:11 AM PDT

    Hi Reddit, my husband and kids and I just moved across the country for a job and are having some crazy problems with my mover. We would really appreciate any guidance.

    My local relocation broker (federally licensed) came out and did a visual inspection of my goods and provided a binding estimate, and contracted the move to a well known national carrier.

    On the day of the move, they asked us if they could load another family first who was making the same move route as us, and we said sure, as long as it didn't impact our stuff being able to fit. Unfortunately it did, so they highlighted a bunch of items that were listed on our contract and wrote "overflow" to indicate that they would need to be brought on an overflow truck.

    Now they are trying to charge us ~30% extra for that overflow truck on the basis that the total weight is more than the original estimate. However, the estimate we had from them in the first place was a binding estimate based on their own visual inspection.

    The owner of the broker emailed me saying "your contract with our company was a binding contract as long as the inventory (Table of Measurements) that you signed was reasonably close to what was actually loaded. This verbiage is clearly stated on page 1. The actual inventory far exceeded the estimated inventory and consequently the estimated weight (by 7300 lbs) which, by the T-08 tariff, allows [CARRIER] to collect the difference."

    However, the verbiage on page 1 actually says "At delivery, the carrier is authorized to collect 100% of the binding or accu-quote charges or 110% of the non-binding estimate amount plus charges for any services (i.e. extra pickup or delivery, storage in transit, etc.) requested by the shipper AFTER the contract has been executed that were not included in the estimate. If a shuttle is required carrier may collect for the shuttle charge up to a maximum of 15% of the total charges due at delivery. The balance will be billed and due within 30 days."

    In this case, there were not services requested after the contract was executed. The items in question were listed on the contract as part of the move, and have not been delivered.

    Am I missing something here? I may not fully understand how the relationship works between the carrier and the relocation broker, but if the broker underestimated the total weight and provided me with a binding estimate and then they sold that move to CARRIER, it seems like they themselves should be liable to carrier for the difference.

    What is my recourse if they are holding my items?

    We rented a holiday home that didnt meet the standards.

    Posted: 08 Jul 2018 04:04 AM PDT

    We ordered a holiday home from the company dansummer around Christmas time. We are from Norway, and had planned a family holiday for 13 people including small kids. When we arrived at the holiday home it did not meet required standards. First of all we had payed for washing and new sheets, but the place was dirty and the sheets were not made. The worst part however, was the constant smell of mold, even after opening all the windows. We also saw living woodworms in some of the walls. Having multiple asthmatics and kids we could not stay there. After complaining to the company, they sent an inspector that agreed with us that this was not acceptable. He recommended us to get a refund. When we visited the company's office the manager refused to refund anything, and mocked us for being scared of bugs. They then told us they would send someone else to inspect it, and told us to go back to the house with the keys. We waited there for more than an hour, but no-one came. Their office was getting close to closing time, so we went back only to find out that they hadn't sent the inspectors yet. They wanted to repeat the process, but we didn't accept it. So they told us they would send some inspectors/cleaners. It was getting late, so we had to book into a hotel. The next day they had cleaned the place, but it still smelled of mold. We decided to not let this ruin our holiday so we booked another place for the week, but the company refused to refund anything. They did not even give us compensation for having to stay at a hotel when they cleaned during the night. Is there anything we could do to get fair treatment, or is it a lost cause?

    Oregon - is this a legal way to pay housekeeping staff? Pic included

    Posted: 08 Jul 2018 03:18 AM PDT

    So our housekeepers are here at 9 am

    They are paid based on the number of rooms they clean not how long they're actually here. The bottom of the picture says rooms that need new towels will not be counted, how is it legal to do this?

    They have to go to our laundry room or storage closets to stock up on what they need if a room needs towels, they have to get them themselves but this is not counted as time worked for them, even though they are here clearly working. Here is how they get paid.

    https://ibb.co/kFJ6HT

    Seems like a violation of labor laws since I believe they all make min wage to start not paying them for time they are actually here working seems like it would drop them under minimum wage or am I off base here?

    Edit: also if you notice if they start with 22 rooms at 9 am, don't take a lunch they're ending time is 6:30pm but they get paid for 9.16 hours, when they've been here 9 and a half, on 2nd look they're getting shorted around 15 minutes of pay for at least half those starting number of room pay rates

    Challenging Acknowledgement of Paternity

    Posted: 08 Jul 2018 12:00 PM PDT

    I am a single dad and have a 9 yr old son. We live in Texas. At this age he has started to look and act a lot like his step sister so I decided to get a DNA test. It turns out there is 0% chance I am his father. My family and I have basically been taking care of my son for the past 5 years with minimal help from his mother. I feel very bad for my son because I believe he has a right to know who is biological father is and have a relationship with his family.

    My brother is a lawyer and he has read through the family law regarding challenging of paternity but I wanted to see if anyone else here could clarify if I am able to challenge the acknowledgment of paternity as I signed it under fraud, duress or material mistake of fact ( mislead to believe I was the father ) and there has been no court order made regarding my son. The reason I want to challenge the paternity is because I have struggled to take care of my son alone without any child support or help from his mom for the past 5 years, meanwhile even when my son had not seen his mom for 2 years ( her choice, she just when AWOL), she almost went through with trying to take me to court for child support for my son, who was with me 100% of the time.

    So my fear is when I tell my son the truth, and his mom finds out, not only will I have to deal with the pain and damage to our relationship, but also the risk that his mom tries to take him and then file for child support against me. I am not in a good financial situation (full time student, debt).

    Thank you for any help.

    Is anyone responsible for my dog’s cat scratch?

    Posted: 08 Jul 2018 07:00 AM PDT

    Hi Reddit, I was wondering if anyone had some advice to offer.

    Yesterday I was walking my dog through the neighborhood, on the sidewalk. We stared to approach a house with the family outside. There was a cat laying down with them, and another cat across the street. There was also a truck parked in front of their house. As I walked past the house, the cat across the street lunges out from under the car, attacking my legs, and then my dog. Then the cat from the yard ran over, and both were swiping at my dog while she continuously yelped. I had to run away because the cats would not stop, and the family was only laughing and making jokes. Now today, my dog will barely open her eye, it's bloodshot and her pupil won't dilate. She will be seeing the vet tomorrow.

    I plan on stopping by their house after work to ask for the cats' vaccination paperwork. I'd love if they paid for the vet bills too, but I don't know if they're responsible. I live in Portland, Maine. Thank you for your help in advance.

    She keeps talking about what she’ll leave me.

    From California here. So I'm the only family member talking to my grandmother on my father's side. All of her children and other grandchildren, even her own sister do not speak to her for god knows what reasons. I am the only person left who will help her when she is in need. I don't want to be drowning in remorse regarding what I could've done when she one day passes. She keeps telling me she'll leave me money and although it's heartbreaking to hear, I am just tired of it. I'm thinking next time she tells me one of her stories of dying, I'll tell her to create a will. She wants all of her possessions to fall onto me and for me to sort everything out once she's gone. Is it legally possible to leave all your assets to just one family member i.e. your grandchild? And she may also want to leave something for my younger sibling, who is still a minor, but doesn't want our mother to be able to touch any possessions/assets. I need advice here. Thank you!

    [Ontario] [Canada] Store manager arrived late to work by 40 minutes, was not paid for time waiting.

    Hey, so I'm not entirely sure if this is legal so I'm hoping you guys could help me out a bit.

    Work normally starts at 7:00, and I arrived at 7:00, the door was locked and I could not get in, along with other employees.

    Eventually the store manager arrived at 7:40, and opened the door for us, however did not pay us for the time we spent waiting outside, is this allowed?

    EDIT: I should also mention, that this is not a small store, 7 other employees were also waiting, and were not paid either.
