I hold a senior management position that requires frequent international travel, 40-50% of the time. My lower back health has deteriorated significantly over the past 9 months, with a diagnosed disc protrusion that limits my physical activities. I am concerned about the impact of prolonged sitting, especially during international travel, on my health. I want to maintain my job performance but also prioritize my health. I am afraid that asking my company to reduce my travel could negatively impact my career, such as lowering my performance score, moving me to another position, or affecting my chances for promotion. What should I do to balance my health concerns with my career?

This is a challenging situation, and the law does not provide extensive protections in this scenario...

I am a female interventional cardiologist in private practice, the only female among ~40 male colleagues, who are discriminating against me by restricting my hospital privileges through sham peer review committees. I want to file a case of gender discrimination in federal court. Do I need to go through the EEOC, and can I file for an emergency injunction to restore my privileges and release documents under federal statutes like 42 USC 1981-1985?

I found out that an order was signed against me in October 2015, but I was never contacted for any court hearings and the order does not show up in the system. What can I do about this, and is there a way to get restitution from the party that brought the action against me?

I work in property preservation and brought my dogs to a job site where my partner left my older dog in the garage. Someone reported the dog as abandoned, leading to my dog being seized and me facing animal cruelty charges. My subcontracting company has stopped payment on my invoices for three months and ignores my attempts to contact them. What should I do?

My daughter got a ticket in Mansfield, CT, for going 68 in a 45. The police officer said he was giving her a break and wrote her up as a violation of statute 14-298 with a $92 fine. He told her this way there would be no points on her license and a much cheaper fine than if he wrote it as a speeding ticket. Before I have her plead guilty, is there any truth to what the officer told her?
