I have 4 grandsons in special education and autism, ages 17, 16, 14, and 13. They receive SSI benefits through their mother. The 17-year-old is turning 18 in April and is frustrated because his mother spends his gift money and SSI benefits, making him beg for even a few dollars. She has been managing his funds for over 2 years, claiming it's for bills, but she struggles to feed them properly. Their stepfather is addicted to gambling and rarely supports them. The 17-year-old wants to stop his mother from managing his funds. What can he do, and are there any pro bono attorneys to help guide him? Can he file a small claims case for mishandling his funds at 18?

I was pressured into purchasing 4 years of magazines that I didn't want. The saleswoman was very pushy, and I succumbed to get her off the phone. I'm 73 years old and have many medical problems. I would like to cancel my subscription and get a full refund. How can I seek recourse?

I am being harassed by someone from another state (Texas) who obtained my email and has called me a few times. They also know where I live. How can I address this issue legally since I am in Arizona?

I verbally agreed to allow a social media influencer to be the author of my ebook and had him sign an NDA. However, I now want to revoke this agreement and ensure he can't sue me for breach of contract. What are the legal implications of an oral contract, and how can I protect myself in Florida?

If there is a line of questioning in a separate case, the questions are not specific to any case but expert testimony on a topic/subject, if that topic/subject is in Person A's case, can Person A use that video in his/her own case? Specifically, if the expert testimony is on PTSD or the psychological impact of false accusations, can the expert's testimony in the video be used in Person A’s case as evidence or to corroborate psychological and emotional impacts Person A experienced?
