I am a medical resident who decided not to renew my contract after my program director coerced me to bill Medicaid using my name and engaged in questionable billing practices. Due to fear of retaliation, I waited until my contract ended to inform my program of my decision. My program director is now spreading false claims in the community that I will lose my medical license due to patient abandonment, even though I never saw a patient without an attending. Is her behavior considered defamation, and what legal actions can I take to stop her from making these false claims?

I was given a ticket for retail theft in Wisconsin and now face a civil claim for $200, in addition to a $125 fine. I can barely afford these fines and am concerned about my court date, as I have plans to be out of town for a conference. I am a first-time offender and recently started a new medication that may have caused confusion. What can I do to handle these fines and the court date, and do I have a chance to get into a diversion program to keep this off my record?

In a real estate transaction in California, we are the sellers. We accepted an offer and the buyers created an addendum stating that we would be responsible for all home inspections if we backed out due to failed negotiations regarding inspections. We feel this is unfair and were stuck as other offers had moved on. We agreed but would like to find a way out. Is there one?

My friend received a speeding ticket in Lawrence, Kansas, and is confused about the options to pay the fine: no contest or guilty. What are the differences between these options, and what should we do if we don't want to appear in court?

In a senior apartment in California, they are demanding copies of my car registration, driver's license, and car insurance for parking, which was previously only validated by parking number and license plate. Can they legally demand these documents, and do I have to comply?

I participated in a SAPCR in Travis County, Texas filed by me (father) in 2010. Part of the suit appointed a GAL to address the needs of the children. In 2011, the GAL recommended a psychological evaluation for me but refused to accept a previous evaluation I had done. The GAL directed me to one specific provider and did not offer other options. The GAL also refused to recommend an evaluation for the mother, stating it was not needed “Because I'm familiar with the family”. I feel I was a victim of negative discrimination by the GAL. I want to determine facts about the GAL's behavior in family court matters, such as how many times she has recommended psychological evaluations, how often only one parent was evaluated, and how often only one specific provider was indicated. Is there a way I can request GAL court records or obtain information on the cases the GAL was involved in?
