On Jan. 25, 2019, I bought a Chipotle account from a Twitter account with the handle @TopDamage2 without knowing it was actively used by someone else. I used this account to buy $19 worth of food. A few days later, I received a letter from St. Paul, MN accusing me of fraudulently using their account and stating they contacted the police in my area. What should I do to avoid self-incrimination and resolve this issue without facing criminal charges?

I am a 75-year-old female stroke victim left paralyzed on my left side and unable to walk. I have had my left lung removed for cancer and also have Parkinson's disease. I have been living at Independence House in Fostoria, Ohio for the last five months. I like living here, but I have a problem with some of the care that the aides aren't providing. Specifically, one of the aides has just started the lead aide position for training newly hired aides, and I am concerned about the quality of care I am receiving, such as being bathed with cold water. I have an estranged husband and four daughters, but none are ready to help me. What legal steps can I take to address this issue?

We have an employee who has been with the company for 3 years, but has had issues with using marijuana at work and driving under the influence (DUI). He was hospitalized for 3 months after being pulled over while driving a company truck, and later tore his Achilles tendon. He returned to work without a driver's license and was given a second chance as a general laborer, but disappeared again and was later found to be in jail for DUI-related issues. The position he held is no longer active, and we want to let him go. How should we proceed to terminate his employment legally and what are the best practices?

I have a lawsuit against a roofer filed in Magistrate Court in Pennsylvania. I received a judgment due to the defendant's no-show, and the case has been appealed. I have 20 days to answer the appeal from the mailing date, but I am unsure of the correct format to use for my response as there isn't a specific form. What format should I use to answer the appeal, and is there a sample or guide available?
