When I got home from work yesterday I walked to my mailbox and spotted my neighbor. We struck up polite conversation, consistent with social distancing mandates of course. During our conversation he expressed uncertainty as to whether he could drive during the Governor’s Safer at Home order.
I do not believe my neighbor knew I was a lawyer and he was not looking for any sort of legal advice. His question struck me though as it was one that I had not considered before that moment. If you are reading this there is a good chance you have a level of uncertainty similar to my neighbor. Given the news reporting and even the language of the order itself it is understandable why a fair amount of people may have some confusion about whether they can drive during this time frame.
My neighbor informed me that he found our brief conversation helpful so I thought I would share the gist of my conversation with you in the hope that it may be able to provide you with a small amount of certainty during this extraordinary time.
I would like an attorney to examine my sales contract for a new build in Leesburg fl.
After over 125 days there still is no permit.
At this point my wife and I would like you to see if there is a way at this point to get out of my contract, and we gave them $35000 to start.
Please advise us , as we have used your office for elder law
A plaintiff filed a TRO against a defendant in a property dispute. The TRO was granted. The case went to trial but then there was a settlement so the court dismissed the complaint WITH prejudice. Settlement was then stalled by the plaintiff and a hearing is scheduled to argue enforcement of the settlement.
Question is: is the TRO still enforceable, or has it been dismissed with the complaint?
I am a general manager of a company in Irvine, CA. I have one particular employee who has been habitually late since her first day. Along with that, she has broken numerous rules, including doing some things so obviously wrong that rules didn't even exist for them. She has gone against things that I've told her, directly. She has disobeyed things that her employer has told her to do.
This employee has been spoken to, by myself and her employer on numerous occasions about her quality of work. And yet I cannot terminate her. The reason, I believe, is because she has accused me of having a personal grudge against her and my employers fear legal action.
On one occasion I brought her into a room and yelled at her about her poor work. The door to the room was closed at the time. I'm including this information in order to get a completely honest response to my question.
This employee has accused me, time and time again, of having some kind of personal problem with her, and one of the company's owners agrees with her. (The other owner feels the same way about her work as I do).
This employee continues to break rules and be a poor employee. However, I cannot do my job, and try to use any kind of discipline, because of her accusations against me. If this were almost any other company for which I have ever worked, this employee would have been fired long ago. But here her behavior is ignored. This employee is disabling me from being an effective manager.
I am curious if this constitutes some for of harassment on the part of the owners, and this employee, towards me. I feel as if I'm being personally discriminated against because of personal issues, not professional.
I would appreciate your response
Legal Jurisdiction
Myself and 8 other people purchased raw land via a TIC (Tenancy in Common). The L.L.C. governing the deal is based in Colorado. All investors are set up as individual L.L.C.'s based in California. The land purchased is in Georgia. We are seeking legal advice about the way this deal is structured and possibly removing the manager (from the Colorado L.L.C.) What state is going to have legal jurisdiction in this scenario? We want to make sure we seek legal council in the correct state. Any information or suggestions on who to contact to get this information would be greatly appreciated!
Thank You.
Negotiation without consent
I was recently informed by my 50/50 partner that she had been in negotiations with another entity to discuss purchase of their business independant of my knowledge. The negotiations began in Nov. 2006 and I was not informed until Feb. 2007. She had gone as far as obtaining financial information and meeting on several occasions. She also signed a Letter of Confidentiality. Once I was informed she was interested in purchasing and wanted to know what I thought, I was shocked and question her honesty at this point. Does this give me any legal grounds to dissolve my partnership with her. She even had a purchase agreement draw up between the 2 parties and my name was not on the agreement. Do I have grounds to sue her because she was representing our company in these negotiations?
