I'm in a dispute with my independent living facility over costly rent for services not rendered. The facility is run down and below standards for elderly care, with inedible meals, lack of housekeeping, poorly maintained laundry rooms, roaches in apartments, and no mask enforcement. I have collected examples of neglect, but no authority has contacted me to negotiate a reasonable rent. I am on a month-to-month agreement and have started paying $2000/mo instead of the raised rent of $3000/mo. I am trapped because I can't afford another costly move. What steps should I take to address this issue, including understanding the mediation process mentioned in my agreement?

I was served with small claims court papers today. My kids' trampoline blew over our fence last month when wind speeds hit over 40 MPH, hitting the neighbor's well house and putting a dent in the top of the frame. The neighbor wants me to be responsible for the damages and has a hand-written receipt for $200 from his neighbor for fixing the dent. Will I be responsible for paying his neighbor, and how would this situation normally play out?

Our son, Alex Freeman, needs help with a vehicle title transfer from the New York Dept. of Motor Vehicles. In October 2020, Alex was in a collision in Albany, NY, where his vehicle was totaled, and he was advised by the other driver's insurance company to expect a $6000 payment. To receive this payment, Alex needs to provide the car's title to the insurance company. We've been waiting for this document from the DMV for four months, have called repeatedly, but have not received any response. How can we move this situation forward?

My son was part of a class action lawsuit for a medication called TRUVADA. He passed away and I need to contact his attorney. I can’t find any paperwork he may have had. I need to find out who his attorney was and what court it was filed through to get a list of attorneys I can call. Is there anyone who can help me?

I was pulled over for no registration and arrested for no driver's license and possession of a controlled substance. However, there is a waiver by the governor stating that registration or title transfer is not required until April due to COVID-19. Can I get the case thrown out for an unlawful stop since they had no reason to stop and search me other than my registration?

I have a brother who has been living in my basement for over two years without paying for utilities or rent, despite a verbal agreement for short-term occupation. He now has a separate place where he pays rent. How do I legally get him out of my basement?
