I'm a freelance consultant putting together a PR consulting contract for a toothbrush company making health-related claims. I want to protect myself from any legal claims that may arise from these claims. What language can I add to my contract to ensure the company assumes full responsibility for any claims I make on their behalf in the public space?

How do I get a judge to rule on a case where the Appeals judge, Crane McClennen, had the case for about a year and his final decision was a non-decision, stating 'I will not substitute my opinion for the board of nursing'? I put in a Motion to Rule on the final order, which was ignored. The commission overseeing judges says they do not get involved in decisions, only conduct. This judge ruled 'NO' on oral arguments. Since he did not rule on the 'JURISDICTION of the board of Nursing,' can that be used in the Div 1 appeal case? The complaint to the Board of Nursing (BON) was false and put in by an attorney, Larry Succi, from Yuma, AZ, who had no firsthand knowledge. The HR, Teri Norris, and Anne Totsch lied in court. The AZ Bar states it was 'legal' for him to put in 4 false complaints but will not answer on ethical grounds. The 'so-called witnesses' had criminal records, lied about being DEA agents, and had no evidence to support their lies. Another witness, Jonathan ***** *****, lied and was best friends with the attorney. The Board of Nursing in AZ should have known better, but a board member, Leslie Dalton, also voted against me and did not recuse herself. How can I proceed with this case?

I manage an LLC as a non-member manager. One of the members in a nine-member LLC has a creditor that could potentially obtain a charging order against the member's economic interest (allocation of profits and distributions). As I understand it, only an assignable interest in the entity may be charged by the creditor, and the lien attaches to only the assignable interest. In this LLC, the assignability of an interest is governed by the agreement of the members, and any assignment is subject to the prior approval of 75% of the members. If a charging order were to materialize, is the assignability of the economic interest of the affected member subject to the 75% written consent of the other members? Additionally, if a member has already assigned their economic interest to a third party with approval from the other members, what happens if a charging order subsequently surfaces? Does the charging order nullify the earlier assignment of the economic interest?

My ex and I have an auto loan together for the next four years. I've tried to remove my name from the lien, but the loan company said it's not possible. We both paid half of the monthly payments until February 2016. The insurance is in my name, and I had to sign a document stating she's not allowed to drive the vehicle due to her suspended license. She agreed to keep the vehicle parked until she gets her license back, but she hasn't made any attempts to resolve her license suspension. I have evidence she's been driving the vehicle illegally. I'm tempted to remove the insurance, but that would result in the vehicle being repossessed, affecting my credit. She's also been late with auto payments, and I've had to cover for her. What can I do in this situation?
