In a real estate transaction in California, we are the sellers. We accepted an offer and the buyers created an addendum stating that we would be responsible for all home inspections if we backed out due to failed negotiations regarding inspections. We feel this is unfair and were stuck as other offers had moved on. We agreed but would like to find a way out. Is there one?

My friend received a speeding ticket in Lawrence, Kansas, and is confused about the options to pay the fine: no contest or guilty. What are the differences between these options, and what should we do if we don't want to appear in court?

In a senior apartment in California, they are demanding copies of my car registration, driver's license, and car insurance for parking, which was previously only validated by parking number and license plate. Can they legally demand these documents, and do I have to comply?

I participated in a SAPCR in Travis County, Texas filed by me (father) in 2010. Part of the suit appointed a GAL to address the needs of the children. In 2011, the GAL recommended a psychological evaluation for me but refused to accept a previous evaluation I had done. The GAL directed me to one specific provider and did not offer other options. The GAL also refused to recommend an evaluation for the mother, stating it was not needed “Because I'm familiar with the family”. I feel I was a victim of negative discrimination by the GAL. I want to determine facts about the GAL's behavior in family court matters, such as how many times she has recommended psychological evaluations, how often only one parent was evaluated, and how often only one specific provider was indicated. Is there a way I can request GAL court records or obtain information on the cases the GAL was involved in?

I recently started driving for Uber and Lyft in Oklahoma City and have installed neon lighting around the interior of my car, including a light strip that reflects off the glass of my sunroof and another in the center of the back seat. Both light strips pulse with the beat of the music and can be seen from outside the car. I have had passengers ask if I've been pulled over before, and I'm curious if my setup is legal or if I should make changes. I have already passed nearly 20 patrol cars with my lights turned on and nothing has happened yet. What state is this in? And how old is the car? Has anything been filed or reported? Anything else you want the lawyer to know before I connect you?
