Hi Sean, I have some follow-up questions and would like to schedule a phone call. Can we do so today? I am available anytime from 11am onwards. Additionally, I have a specific question about a sentence in your revision: 'It is not admissible in any proceeding for any reason and the any objection to any request for the admission of this correspondence is specifically noted.' I don't understand this sentence and the phrase 'the any objection' doesn't make sense. Can you clarify this for me?

My son is being blackmailed on Google Hangouts by a young woman who wants to post inappropriate videos on Facebook. They had a video chat where they showed parts of their bodies they shouldn't have. She claims to be 23, and my son is almost 20. What should we do?

She is posting lies about me on Facebook, claiming I removed the winning card from a raffle game at my restaurant, broke a verbal agreement to fund the restaurant, and caused my business to lose thousands in sales.

My company, with multiple office locations, is trying to join an organization of office leaders. The bylaws state 'one rep per office,' and the organization is interpreting 'office' to mean the entire entity rather than individual locations. Can 'one per office' be interpreted to mean organization, or should it be interpreted as one rep per location?

A credit union in Puerto Rico is refusing to accept a valid, Florida-registered durable power of attorney that gives the daughter of a 91-year-old woman with early to mid-stage dementia authority to manage her mother's financial affairs. Should the credit union honor the power of attorney, and if legal action is needed, do we need a Florida attorney and/or a Puerto Rico attorney? The credit union has refused to release the funds for months; at what point would civil litigation be appropriate?
