    Legal Advice I’m part of a HOA and management is refusing to review security footage to see who destroyed my Halloween decor

    Legal Advice I’m part of a HOA and management is refusing to review security footage to see who destroyed my Halloween decor


    I’m part of a HOA and management is refusing to review security footage to see who destroyed my Halloween decor

    Posted: 06 Oct 2020 06:46 AM PDT

    Basically the title. I live in Chicago, IL and moved into a condo with an HOA back in June. Nothing egregious has happened so far until now. I pay my dues and keep my head down and I say hi to neighbors when I pass them in the halls but I rarely see other people in this building.

    A couple of weeks ago I put up Halloween decor on my door. It's just 3 things that stick only to my door: a pair of monster eyes, cobwebs, and a string of battery-operated copper LEDs. None of it sticks out into the hallway or anything like that. I put them up in early September and there were no issues for the longest time.

    Yesterday, October 5, I came home around noon after spending the previous night at my bf's. Door decorations were all still intact. My bf then comes to my place at 7pm the same day and showed me that my lights are missing.

    Here's what my door looked like before and after (the after photo is first tho): https://imgur.com/a/e1RSZ78

    Everything else on my door was intact. My monster eyes and cobwebs were still on my door, only the lights were missing. My setup was that the batteries with the on and off switch were taped to the inside of my door, and the lights extended to the outside of the door from within. Meaning, a small portion of the lights is between the door and the doorframe.

    My thinking was that someone cut the lights purposely with wire cutters because these were copper LED lights, and rather difficult to snap by hand. However my boyfriend did show me that it's also possible that the copper strings snapped after repeated assault by bending it back and forth, and that it was possible that the portion that sticks out of the doorframe was repeatedly assaulted by my door-doorframe, causing it to snap. However, I argued that even if it did snap on its own, the lights still hung on the cobwebs, so theoretically the rest of the lights should be still on my door, just unblinking because the wire connection was broken. But the lights are just all gone.

    My condo unit has a security camera directly in front of it, so I reached out to my building manager to ask him to review the tapes during the time frame it might have happened (October 5, 12 noon to 7pm) and I was told that they only review tapes if it "affected the association as a whole" so basically I'm boned because I'm only part of the association. It's so upsetting because I never got any complaints about my Halloween decor. I want to know what happened, and if it was purposeful destruction, I want to know what options I have against the perpetrator. But that's not possible without security footage review.

    I'm going to take down the rest of my decor so that it doesn't get further damaged. Sorry for the long post. The lights aren't very expensive so the loss itself isn't the problem, it's the fact that I have to live in the same building with someone who might have purposely done this that really bothers me. It's just so pointlessly hostile. I'd appreciate any help I can get!

    my psychiatrist charged me a $100 no show fee even though she is the one who didn’t show [USA]

    Posted: 06 Oct 2020 01:24 PM PDT

    due to covid i've been seeing my psychiatrist who is located in Texas online and normally she'll text me or email me the link for the video chat. the first 3 appointments were fine but today i had an appointment for 9AM. i never received anything so i called the office at 9:07AM and the receptionist told me that my psychiatrist is backed up and would get to me soon. i even verified my email and phone number with them just in cause there was a mix up. well i'd check my phone and refresh my email and there's nothing!! i know the problem wasn't on my end because i've been using my email, text and getting calls from other people all day without issue. i called them back twice at 10:30AM to ask what happened but nobody answered. now at 3PM they call me saying they want me to pay the $100 fee even tho i explained to them that i was ready but she never sent me anything. it's so annoying bc my co payments are $35 which i can afford. but now i'm left without any medication & they expect me to pay $100 for nothing which i much rather use for retail therapy 🙄

    Edit: i forget to add that when they called to charge me the $100 the receptionists told me that my psychiatrist said she emailed and texted me. but i checked my phone records with my service carrier and there's no text from my psychiatrist at all.

    California - My (homeowner) roommate told me he found out he doesnt have to pay rent, so he isnt. I then served him with a 60 day notice document and he laughed. With Codivd, the laws are murky. Any advice?

    Posted: 05 Oct 2020 11:17 PM PDT

    He is still working full time, he just read that he doesnt have to pay because of Covid and isnt. I served him with a 60 day notice and he laughed. Am I stuck?

    Found pure bred Doberman running in the street and owner didn't want it. What do I need to do to make sure he can't come back in 6 months and say I stole her?

    Posted: 06 Oct 2020 11:43 AM PDT

    On Monday of last week I was sitting on my couch working and had my front door open. My street has a lot of pedestrian traffic so usually I'm not phased by it, but I happened to look up and see this gorgeous Doberman bounding down the sidewalk. I stop to admire her when I realize....she doesn't have any people. I try to grab her and see another lady trying to catch her. I yell at the lady to ask if it's her dog, but she said no, it was her neighbor's and pointed to an open gate. The neighbor lady tells me her owner leaves her outside by herself all day with no toys or a doghouse, or anything, and the fence is broken, so she just jumped out and ran away. I successfully trap her in her own yard and get a collar and leash on the dog.

    I tell the neighbor that I don't want the dog to get hit by a car so ill keep her in my yard with a privacy fence until her owner can fix his and leave her my name, address and phone number.

    At around 8pm that night, I drive by the owner's house. There are two cars in his drive. At like...830 we go down to his house and I'm like "is this your dog" the guy tells me he just opened a Mexican restaurant and doesn't have any time for her, and was just about to call someone else to see if they wanted to adopt her.

    I said I would, and he told me he would get me her papers when he found them. This was on Monday of last week. On Thursday I left a note on his door asking about her health history, age, and if she was chipped with my number again and he still hasn't responded.

    This dog has no manners and didn't even know her name or what being petted was. She is super sweet, and is already glued to my side I'm guessing her to be less than a year old and I'm fully prepared to train her but what can I do to make sure the old owner doesn't try to sue me or take her back? I'm in KY

    Preschool Not Allowing Males to Change Diapers

    Posted: 06 Oct 2020 07:54 AM PDT

    My GF works at a Preschool, and the males there are not allowed to change diapers on kids, or change their clothes if soiled or what not.

    My GF had it explained to her, they said they dont allow males to do those things because it could lead to parents being uncomfortable that a Male is seeing a semi or full naked child.

    Is this legal practice? Just curious. I understand the reasons, but they havent had any cases of abuse from male workers there ever, so it confuses me. Is it normal practice maybe?

    Location: minnesota , twin cities

    Addition detail: they usually wont hire male teachers or assistants for this reason

    Water damage to my house a second time due to neighbours!!

    Posted: 06 Oct 2020 05:39 AM PDT

    I moved into my new house (UK) in 2017 and decorated the whole house to the way my wife and I have always wanted. After 6 months, we noticed that one side of the wall in the hallway had considerable water damage out of nowhere. we called a heating engineer in case of pipe damage and they said that all was fine. we then called a general builder that mentioned that there were no cracks or any noticeable elements contributing to water damage. he then said that he would guarantee that the water damage was coming from our neighbours and to ask them if they had recently had any leaks. we then proceeded to ask the neighbours, who confirmed that they had a lead in the adjoining room! they are with housing, so we got in touch with them regarding repairs. I also contacted my home insurance but was reluctant to use this route as it would then be classed as a claim and consequently, raise my premiums or the following years. I was advised that these sorts of issues were a grey area in law and there was a lot of back and forth with the housing company and with a new baby, we left it to sort on our own as they assured us that the water issue had been repaired and would no longer be an issue to us. Once we saved the money (2020) took a while as with the baby and job issues due to COVID, we waited to make sure we were financially stable before committing to the repair and we looked as this as an opportunity to repaint the hallway a different colour. We paid to have the water damage repaired this summer (once COVID restrictions were lifted!) the wall was repaired, and we had a beautiful grey repainted which looked as good as new and a better colour than before :) As of today, I just noticed that there is water damaged again!!!!! I called the housing company again and they confirmed that there was an issue with the bathtub and needed to be replaced......if the water damage to my wall is because of my neighbours, will I be able to get the housing company to pay for the repairs? I think it would be very unfair for me to have to pay to repair the same wall twice within a few months due to an issue no fault of my own!!!! surely this cannot be right!! I would be very grateful for any help...

    Caught my neighbor stealing my electricity

    Posted: 06 Oct 2020 11:48 AM PDT

    I got home to see an extention cord running from my outside garage outlet over to my neighbors property. He was using it to charge batteries overnight. I called the police and submitted a report. Should I press charges? I really just don't feel like paying the extra on my utilities that he siphoned. (USA)

    False advertising?

    Posted: 06 Oct 2020 02:22 AM PDT

    (Kentucky) So I'm 19 and just started working at UPS around 2 weeks ago. When I applied online their application stated that the starting wage was $14.50 plus a $200 weekly bonus for showing up and on time for every shift. When I had my interview I was told the bonus was actually $150, then on my first day of work I was told it was actually $75. Fast forward two weeks later I still haven't received any kind of weekly bonus despite showing up to every shift on time. When I asked my supervisor about it she said that "they're working on it" I'll give it some time but if I don't end up receiving any weekly bonuses is there anything I could/should do? They definitely reeled a lot of employees in advertising a $200 weekly bonus and now I'm not sure if I'll even get anything at all.

    Landlord demands additional money after cashing a post dated rent check

    Posted: 06 Oct 2020 02:17 AM PDT

    As the title suggests, I gave my landlord a check post dated for October 1st, on the 28th of September. I had to stop by his house to pick up parking permits, and being a second year college student I do not have a car. Figuring I would save myself the trip, I brought the rent check with me.

    Allow me to clarify. I spoke with my landlord over the phone on the 28th, when he informed me he had our new parking permits. I had said that I would prefer to meet him on October 1st, to drop off the rent check, and pick up the permits. He requires a check, and will not accept any other form of payment. Originally he told me the permits expire on October 15th, so I figured this would work well. Though during this phone call, he told me they expire on September 15th, 12 days ago. So, he recommended that I pick them up today, and to bring the rent check and that they would wait to cash it. Not his exact words, but something very much along those lines was said, allowing me to believe all would be well.

    So again, I post dated the check for October 1st, the day rent is due.

    On September 29th I received a notice from my bank claiming insufficient funds on a check, and was charged 34$. Today, on October 5th, I received a call from my landlord saying the check had bounced, and that I now owe him an additional 232$, which he derived from the checks of his that bounced after my check bounced. Plus 100$ which i believe is the charge written in our lease agreement. My rent is 5k a month, split among 5 people.

    I had the 5 grand in my account on the 30th of September. If that matters.

    Upon confronting my landlord initially, over the phone, saying how the check was cashed on the 29th, he claimed that it was between me and my bank. That I never explicitly told him to hold it. Later, he left me a voice mail saying "there are no post dated checks allowed in the state of california and that you must declare a check to be held to the person you give it to." He did not tell me this over the phone, he only told me to post date it. Which i did.

    I am still a child in my own eyes, only 19, and my landlord is now trying to bully me into an additional fee after all but confirming everything would be okay. This is not out of character, as he owns multiple properties and is known to nickel and dime college students every which way possible.

    Is there anything I can do?

    Thank you very much everyone who reads this.

    Received a new roof after a house fire only to find that it’s out of code and my bathroom exhaust pipe has been capped for a year. Contractors refusing to fix their work and claim there is nothing wrong with roof.

    Posted: 06 Oct 2020 11:35 AM PDT

    We had a house fire in 2018 that left the exterior walls untouched but gutted the inside. It took about 9 months to rebuild, and we've been living in it for about a year.

    We had a contractor come out to give us a quote on new soffit/fascia, and he told us that our roof had multiple problems and should never have passed city inspection. We brought a second person out and he confirmed the first's claims.

    In the process of checking the roof quality, we mentioned our bathroom had been smelling like sulfur every so often, and we found that the bathroom exhaust pipe was cut, capped, and never put through the roof to vent. So for the last year our methane has had nowhere to go but back into our house.

    Our fire contractor claims everything is due to code and refuses to come fix it. In addition they signed a contract to do our house fire rebuild but ended up going $17K over budget and paid for it out of pocket, so they especially don't want to put more into our house.

    Can we have the soffit team build us a new roof and then take our fire contractor to court for the fees?

    Roommate Forged Energy Bill

    Posted: 06 Oct 2020 12:22 PM PDT

    I have confirmed with my energy provider that our bills for the past year are much lower than what the roommate has claimed them to be. Said roommate has provided us a document claiming it is a billing and payment statement which doesn't align with anything the Supervisor from our provider has said to us. Is this something we can take to court and win? We have been swindled for money essentially.

    Dad died with no will, had a secret wife with a restraining order against her. Probate help.

    Posted: 06 Oct 2020 11:39 AM PDT

    CA- My dad died in august 2020 and left no will or trust. While dealing with his multi million dollar estate, we (my sister and i) were surprised to learn he was actually married (since dec 2015) to a woman we thought was his live in girlfriend. The marriage was filed as confidential in a Southern California county court. In may of 2019, there was a domestic dispute in which she was arrested and my dad was granted a TRO against her. She was not to be within 100 ft of him or his properties. June of 2020 he was able to get that restraining order extended until July 2024. As far as I am aware, he never filed for divorce. What's odd is that his taxes during the duration of their marriage was filed as single.

    Some more info... We found the 2015 marriage license and it said her last marriage ended in 1995 by divorce, when in reality, her last marriage ended in 2009 by death (her late husband of 4 years was 94 when he died). She lied on the marriage license about her past marriages.

    Basically this woman is trying to fight my sister and I for my dads entire estate. They were married 4.5 years and only together 3.5 of those because of that RO. Is there any way to help my case so that she gets nothing, or less money than she is fighting for?

    Thanks in advance.

    My Room Mate Microchipped My Cat Without My Consent To Prove Ownership

    Posted: 06 Oct 2020 01:00 PM PDT

    My room mate is wanting to take one of my 3 cats once he moves out, I have not given him permission to take her, but he just left to get her microchipped without my consent as a means of proving ownership. I have raised this cat from birth(she was a part of a foster litter). I have done the vast majority of care for her and paid for her to get spayed and for her shots. I have the vet records proving this. I told him that he could have her if he helped take care of her. He has not done that. About a year and a half ago, I told him that if he continued his neglect, he would not be allowed to take her after he moved out. He has continued to neglect the cat, so my spouse and I have decided to take her with us once we move. It's getting close to the end of the lease, and my room mate just left to get my cat microchipped without my consent, and I was unable to stop him before driving off. How should I move forward with letting him know that we will still be taking her with us once we move out, and how should i handle things if he runs off with her anyway? I have vet records from over a year ago, as well as photos of her from when she was a kitten to prove that we have had her since she was born, and people to vouch for me and my ownership, as well as his neglect. He will only have the microchip as proof.

    I am concerned about the prospect of possibly having to take him to court, as I and my spouse aren't very financially stable, and my room mate comes from a wealthy family who already has a set family lawyer. That being said his parent's are miserable people who hate him so I can't say for certain they'd be willing to pay for a court case over a cat. How likely would it be that it will have to end up in court, given these circumstances? Thanks

    We live in Dallas, Texas currently, I am unsure if my room mate will be moving back in with his mother, who lives in Allen, Texas, or if he wil be staying in Dallas once the lease is up and he wouldnt tell me anyway if I asked.

    I sent a friend a gift (mailed from a local shoppers drug mart) and when it arrived the envelope was cut open and taped up, but the bubble wrap package inside was cut open and the contents were gone. When it was mailed, the content was in there. What do I do? I don't believe the number was trackable, but even if I find out it is, what could they do?

    (Kentucky) Fiance and daughter died in December. No will, left car

    Posted: 06 Oct 2020 10:52 AM PDT

    I spoke with the probate court in Daviess county, and she said I could just fill out a AOC-830 form and turn it in. But looking at the form, I am not sure she understood my position. I moved here from Florida in August last year, she lived here already. She moved in with me in November and passed away December 3rd. She was 9 months pregnant. We were engaged, but not married. I live next door to her parents and they want me to have the car (an 09 Scion worth about $2.5k). She didn't have a lot of possessions, and was a student. I already sent off her death certificate to her creditors and got everything cleared months ago. I have been researching what I could but keep coming up with lawyer sites with vague answers. I am unemployed, a single parent, and living off of what is left of my savings. So hiring a lawyer is out of the question for right now. I found a different form and want to know if it is the correct way to approach this issue.

    " Kentucky Small Estate Affidavit Kentucky Code Section KRS 395.455 & KRS 391.030 "

    It seems to better suited as I do not meet the qualification for a spouse, but I don't know much about Kentucky laws. Her folks and the rest of the family have no issues with this. And they are willing to sign paperwork if I do the legwork. I applied for assistance from the Legal Aid Network Of Kentucky but I have not heard anything back.

    tl;dr Which is the proper form to file in my case? If 830, then do I consider myself a spouse?

    Notoriously greedy relatives are asking for my dad’s personal info. Should I be cautious?

    Posted: 06 Oct 2020 07:28 AM PDT

    Bit of background info for context:

    Long story short, my half-siblings (HS) are notorious for having a very strained relationship with our elderly, sickly dad (fair enough, I completely understand why) and only reach out when they're in need of money. Now some of them are suspiciously.. building somewhat of a relationship with him and actively attempt to turn my dad against my mom. They especially seem pleased whenever my dad mentions financial help.This is not a jealousy or insecurity thing. My family have noticed this behavior but none of us care if my dad ends up changing his will leaving everything to them (they're not in the will at all).

    Recently one of my HS's wife reached out asking for my dad's DOB. I left her on seen. My question is, can his name and DOB be used against him? With just that information would they be able to do anything shady such as take out a loan in his name, etc?

    (IL) My father molested my daughter and is now suing me for money I don’t have.

    Posted: 06 Oct 2020 04:15 PM PDT

    I used to let my son (4yo) and daughter (7yo) stay at my parents house on weekends. One night, at home, she was having trouble sleeping, and she told my wife that "sometimes grandpa sleeps naked next to me." Since then, we have cut off contact with my parents. We've had to call the police to make them leave. They have gone to the kids' school and told the principal that the kids are in danger in our home. They have sent police to our house to "check on the kids".

    Now they are suing us for $5,000 for "money loaned, utility bills paid." They have given us money in the past, but I constantly helped them by doing things around their house, and working weekends at their farm stand while I was already working full time elsewhere. This is not about money, this is about harassing us because they can't see the kids. We cannot afford an attorney and we can't afford to pay if the decision is against us.

    Is it worth laying out this pattern of harassment in court or will it have no bearing on this decision?

    I lied on my renter’s insurance claim and got caught today. What should I expect next?

    Posted: 06 Oct 2020 02:34 PM PDT

    I live in Maryland, so this happened here. Throwaway because I'm currently the biggest anxious wreck over this. I'm sorry if this isn't right place to go, but I was just hoping for some advice So I did the absolute dumbest thing, and I have no excuse for it other than I am really, really dumb and really, really broke.

    Last month my washing machine flooded my apartment (which did happen). My desk and some clothes were actually damaged. I had renters insurance but just the bare minimum, so I stupidly changed my policy the day of to cover property damages. I filed an initial claim online (I did not put any value on any of my losses yet, just saying it was my desk and some clothes), except I said the incident happened a few days after it actually did since I changed my insurance policy.

    My insurance company called me today for the first time to start processing the claim and were asking me about everything that happened. Meanwhile I'm going along with things, explaining the whole situation as it happened, only I lied about the date and about upgrading insurance (I tried to say that me upgrading it was unrelated and just a coincidence). They asked the value of my stuff — I said $80. That's about how much my desk was, and to be honest I'm just so broke all I wanted was to be able to afford a replacement for it, but I know that's absolutely no excuse. Anyways, they finally starting calling me out for the lies (they had proof — metadata from pictures, could see I upgraded insurance online the day of, etc.). I continued to say it must be a mistake, until after a while of them scaring me for having obviously caught me in the lie, I finally confessed. Obviously the claim was flat-out denied, but the person talking with me said they would also be sending the report up to be reviewed by a fraudulent claims investigator and that I would hear from them probably this week and they would tell me what was going to happen.

    I am absolutely petrified. I know I caused all of this—and for what, $80??—but I just want to be prepared if I'm going to get arrested or have a criminal record. I've never done anything like this before, and I've absolutely learned my lesson, but now I'm scared it may be too late. I asked the guy if I was going to go to jail and he wouldn't answer me.

    When the insurance investigator calls me later this week, I planned to own up to everything and just apologize. Even though the claim didn't make it past the initial phone call of looking into it, I still know what I did was wrong.

    My question is: is there also anything I can/should be doing while I wait to hear from the insurance investigator? Also, I have fortunately never had any run ins with the law — is this something that my employer could find out if it escalates to me being charged? (Not referring to seeing the information in the news or anything like that — but more so could the insurance investigator tell my job what happened? Sorry, I know this is likely a dumb question but I'm just terrified and don't know what the protocol is for something like this.

    Thank you so much in advance for you help.

    I work at a high volume bar in Virginia and the owner wants to start charging us(the bartenders) for anything they deem to be loss for the night. Sorry if this is the wrong forum for this question

    Posted: 06 Oct 2020 05:16 PM PDT

    We have struggled with liquor cost, but we have gotten it under control they gave us a goal of 20% cost and now it's at 18%, which is pretty amazing for a bar that does happy hour for 9 hours of the day. For example, the owners see that over a week, while pouring thousands of ounces of vodka we are missing 4 bottles of vodka for the week. This is less than 3% of the overall vodka poured and since we are high volume and use free pouring, in any other restaurant I have worked or helped, it would be considered cost of doing business. If you do the math, it equates to us pouring about 1.57 ounces instead of 1.5 ounces as we are allotted for each pour. Since we use imprecise pouring tools and we are far to high volume to use jiggers (a liquor measuring tool) it doesn't seem right that they would be allowed to charge us for these overages. They intend on holding back our tips and charging us anything that they decide is missing every night. Is that even legal? Is there anything we can do to combat this?

    Edit: To answer a few of your questions.

    the bar does pretty well, and most of the bartenders that work there are veterans, but as it's a slow season, finding more work is harder than possibly looking for a way out of this situation. The bar generally is set up to profit around 25k a month, but wastes all its money on a ridiculous menu and while constantly attacking ya for liquor cost, has a 42% food cost and insane labor amount as well. The owners are veteran business owners, but not of bars, they just see the total loss under a microscope and cannot fathom how it's accidental and not theft. I explained to them that even with measuring tools this number is amazing. I am one of their managers and have a pretty solid relationship with the owners,(they are paying for my Somm education and travel expenses around the exams and learning) They generally listen to me, but I wasn't sure about this one. Also I didn't want to bring it up and ruin my relationship and possibly lose my continued education if it was within their reasonable power to take tips.

    Edit: wording

    Neighbor antagonizes my dogs on other side of fence and then reprimands me about their excessive barking.

    Posted: 06 Oct 2020 12:19 PM PDT

    He's the owner of the house next door, which he rents out. He's clearly retired, bc he's always over at odd times during the day, tending to the yard or house or whatever he does.

    He's boisterous and loud and a knowitall. First time we met, I got a run down of all the boards he's been on and the careers he's had (ranging from medical boards to training police dogs...hence the inflated sense of authority here).

    Every time he interacts with my dogs, they bark incessantly. I have to kennel them, and we even went as far as purchasing shock collars to avoid future conflict (we're new in town).

    The first altercation was about a month ago. I could hear him yelling at my dogs as they barked. I was on a marathon of Zoom calls for work and was waiting for a breath to bring them in, which I did mid-call, and I hear a pounding on my front door. He's out there yelling about how other people have work to do and the barking disrupts their Zoom calls. I couldn't believe it. I told him he was interrupting mine and that the dogs were kenneled. What else could I do?

    Today, I'm taking my precious 30 min lunch break in my hammock out back and he pulls up to his driveway. I can't see who it is but the dogs seem pissed so I get them to heel. Before I know it his head pops over the fence and he's yelling about how the next renter works night shifts and won't tolerate being woken up by barking. Which of course, causes my dogs to bark. I yell over them "YOU antagonize them, they don't bark at anyone else like this. It's really starting to annoy me." And walked inside.

    Sorry for the saga. Basically I want to know if I need to protect myself legally, if there's anything I can do to keep him from talking to my dogs, and if I should be worried about him taking legal action against me. Oh and what should I definitely avoid doing at this point?

    Thanks in advance. Also posting to r/dogtraining which will likely end in chaos.

    Can someone sell me a car without me knowing?

    Posted: 06 Oct 2020 04:48 PM PDT

    I know, weird question. Here's the story:

    My parents, out of what seemed to be spite, sold me the car they had gotten me for my 16th birthday. The car had been in their name, under their insurance, and I was allowed to drive it whenever and wherever I liked. One day, I woke up to the title and bill of sale (without my signature or anywhere to sign) on my nightstand. They told me I had to get insurance, "unless, of course, [I] wanted to get arrested." They sent it through Oregon's "system" and it's supposedly in my name now, but I haven't gone through with the DMV paperwork (mostly because the DMV's still closed).

    Now they want the car back because they bought me a car for my recent birthday and want sell my old car to pay for the loan they took out on my new car. The new car is not in my name yet, but they won't give me the title until I finish doing the paperwork on the old car.

    I'm honestly just confused about this whole thing. Is it illegal to sell a person a car without them knowing? Even if it's your parents? What should I do in this situation? Should I go through with the title and give it to them to sell the car or something else? Any advice is welcome, I'm just so confused.

    My lawyer’s law firm is hiring the opposition’s lawyer.

    Posted: 05 Oct 2020 07:41 PM PDT

    And now they are withdrawing from me because it is a conflict of interest. They have been my lawyer since the beginning of this year. I have spent thousands of dollar on said lawyer and have literally nothing to show for it. And now they want to drop me because their firm has hired the lawyer on the other side.

    Is this even legal? How can they hire someone that is in conflict of one of their cases?
