I have an emergency sewer backup situation in O'Fallon, MO. The company I hired got their line stuck in our main drain, left us with a partially functioning sewer system, and did not honor a verbal agreement to charge only $165 for their services. They dug up my front yard, left a mess, and did not complete the job. The city is now repairing it for $350, which I had to pay. Do I have any reason to take legal action against the company?

I purchased a home in Louisville, CO in 2012 and refinanced it in 2017, taking $43,556 in equity. My final loan was for $378,000, and the home is currently appraised at $650,000. During the loan process, I was terminated from my job but continued to work until 10/20/17, and the loan closed on 10/21/17. I did not mention my termination when signing the loan papers, thinking my final employment date was the following week. I have never missed a mortgage payment. I received a call from my loan officer stating that Fannie Mae claims I was not employed when the loan closed. I need to understand the situation and what actions I should take, including whether I need to consult a lawyer to avoid losing my house or equity.

I need to find a lawyer that can help. Criminal lawyers can't help because the ticket I received in 1999 can not be sealed as I was found guilty for part of it. I work in childcare and have for over 30 years and now this ticket is preventing me from keeping my job. It was a DUI ticket with Child abuse added. Child abuse was dismissed but now my employer is risking their license if they keep me. I was convicted of DWAI in Colorado. I love my career and want to fight to keep it. My employer wants to keep me as well.

I went to get my hair conditioned and was talked into a color that resulted in dark purple hair, which I explicitly did not want. Additionally, during the visit, I had lash extensions and eyebrow work done, which caused red irritation bumps on my forehead from prior Botox. I am now out of money, embarrassed, and my forehead has puffed up. I want my hair to be healthy, my money back, compensation for the damage to my forehead, and for them to pay for my Botox to be redone. What legal options do I have to achieve this outcome?
