I am currently in UPMC Presby. I have been allowed to walk to the Starbucks every morning without concern, including while on Ketamine and Valium. Today, I was told I could no longer leave the floor without explanation and was subsequently tracked down by armed guards with restraints. Is this legal?

We recently discovered that a contractor in Missouri is using our original logo and business name, which we are based out of Pittsburgh, PA. They are also a concrete contractor. We have tried to contact them and asked them to stop using our logo, but they refused and claimed they made the logo themselves. We know this is false as we personally created the logo less than a year ago using a photo of our original concrete work. We have not registered our logo and business name as trademarks with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). What can we do about this?

When an amended brief is denied and struck from the court record, how long should the court keep the denied amended brief, and is it still part of the court record? Additionally, can the court strike the denied amended motion from the record without the permission of the appellant, especially when a motion for reconsideration has been filed and the judge's decision is based on the amended brief? What should the appellant do if the judge strikes the amended brief, potentially destroying evidence that could correct major deficiencies in the original brief?

My ex-husband filed a small claims suit against me regarding the tax burden for a refund on our daughter's guaranteed tuition plan that was about to expire. He wants me to pay the full tax and penalty fees, even though the 1099-Q is in his name and security number since he was the primary on the account. What should I do when I get served, and can I file a counter suit?

Do you think it would be worth the hassle and cost to consult with a lawyer for help with a divorce settlement, especially if I have no job or personal income to pay for legal services?

I need an attorney to help me with my sister who is refusing to provide vital information about my late father's death and my inheritance. My sister lives in Volcano, CA, and my parents lived in Jackson, CA. Both my parents passed away in January 2024. I received paperwork from Athena and need my father's Social Security number, which my sister won't give me. Additionally, I need to know if I am entitled to any portion of the estate sales or the sale of my parents' home.
