I had a tree cut down by a tree surgeon, and a branch fell on my neighbor's fence, bending the top metal rail. The tree surgeon took the rail to fix but hasn't done so after over two weeks. I've called him multiple times, and he promised to come but hasn't. My neighbor believes it's my responsibility to get it fixed and has threatened to hold me accountable if it's not resolved. I am in Florida. Is this correct, and what legal actions can I take?

Hi Ellen, I had a question regarding a court case and the potential costs involved, as well as a recent 30-day notice from my landlord. I mentioned that I had already tried a few things before considering court and expressed concerns about the costs and reliability of experts. Can you provide some guidance on what to do next?

Do you know of any attorney who is good in RICO cases, or should I ask in general?

I have a concept to solve the overcrowding and high cost of American prisons by partnering with Mexico to build and service prisons based on our specifications, housing American prisoners separately from Mexicans, with surprise visits to ensure standards. The cost per prisoner would be significantly lower than domestic costs. Would such a program be acceptable to the ACLU?

After winning a Title VII case at the appellate level, I signed a confidentiality agreement 12 years ago. I don't understand the boundaries of this agreement and am unsure if I can discuss the events without mentioning the company's name. The appellate decision is publicly available online, which makes me question the confidentiality's effectiveness. What kind of attorney can clarify this agreement, and how do I determine if the court sealed any records or if discovery and depositions are considered public record?
