A family member's car was hit while parked in NY, and the tow service provided false information about the car's location. The police say the car is not stolen because the keys were handed over. Can anything be done to address this situation?

I haven't been able to contact a law firm regarding overdue payments. They won't call me back or respond to emails. I received a post-judgment discovery letter and want to resolve this without going to court. What can be done to avoid court since they don't answer me?

Our insurance company has informed us that they can no longer insure us unless we remove our 24-year-old son from the policy due to a significant accident and multiple tickets. What is the best course of action? Are there insurance companies that insure high-risk drivers like him? Should we stay with our current insurance company or leave with him? Is there any insurance option that won't be excessively expensive for him?

There was a flood in my apartment due to a burst water pipe, leading to the destruction of personal property, including irreplaceable family heirlooms and letters from when I escaped Russia in the 80s. The landlord left boxes in water on the ground, causing these items to be destroyed. My insurance company has the claim but won't cover the personal property that has sentimental value. Can I recover based on sentimental value and file suit against the landlord if the insurance claim doesn't involve that destroyed personal property?

My dog, a dachshund, was attacked by a pitbull while both were off leash near my home. The pitbull's owner is not taking responsibility, and I had to pay 2k in damages and take PTO from work. I reported the incident to animal control, have evidence and witnesses, and the pitbull's owner claims she was bitten by my dog during the altercation. What are my legal options and liabilities?

I have a bench trial on Thursday concerning an eviction notice sent to my tenant on November 20, 2023. The tenant responded with a lawyer and owes $876.68. I have prepared a settlement agreement for $768.68 with additional considerations like a $65.00 increase in monthly rent and a grace period. I need to know if my settlement agreement is appropriate and if there are any other considerations I should include.
