If I visit a customer on behalf of a service provider but offer my own services (on the side) because I’m a contractor, and accept a payment for something else I fix on site at the same time, is that deemed illegal?

I am the plaintiff in an unlawful detainer case. The defendant served me a motion to strike with a court date for December 20th. I also filed for a court date but did not yet receive an answer. What are my next steps? How should I respond to the motion to strike, which argues that I don't have capacity to sue? Will this motion prevent the court date I requested from being delayed until the 20th?

I recently discovered that I was supposed to become a payee for my husband, even though I am his power of attorney. I have been managing his finances for years, but I did not save receipts and the money was going into a joint account. I am being interviewed to become a payee next week. Can I refuse to be the payee after the interview? Will they ask for receipts from past expenses, and if so, how far back? What should I do if they ask for money back, especially since I did not intentionally mismanage the funds?

I was served a civil summons from a company (ASSET ACCEPTANCE LLC) regarding a debt originally with MBNA AM BK from 1999. The debt was charged off and doesn't show on my credit report now. They claim I owe $3000 and will only settle for $2500. What are my options? Should I accept the settlement, hire an attorney to fight it, or do something else?

I totaled my car on the 31st of May. The police had it towed to clear the road. I called the tow company today, and they told me I have to pay six hundred dollars to hand them the title to salvage it due to all the fees. I don't have the money, so I asked if I could at least pay the fifty-dollar salvage fee to stop the charges from accruing. I was told if I didn't pay the 600 dollars, they would continue to charge me fifty dollars a day until they would have the DMV sue me. Where do I stand legally?

My brother pled guilty to a 5th degree felony of unlawful use of a vehicle, expecting a sentence of no more than 6 months as advised by his lawyer. However, the judge sentenced him to the maximum of 1 year due to his priors. Can we appeal the decision and get him a better attorney even though he pleaded guilty?
