My best friend of 20 years passed away recently. She lived in Oregon for 20 years until she was diagnosed with cancer and moved to Florida to be with her family. I helped her get a car in 2018 due to her credit issues and made payments when she couldn’t. Her mother initially said I could take the car, but now her siblings won’t honor it. Do I have any rights to the car, and what steps should I take to address this situation?

I owed RC Willeys $363.20 and paid $300 to the attorney. I received a letter from the justice court stating a writ of execution for $1551 with a 24% interest. What is the best way to handle this situation, and can they garnish my payroll?

I am opening a new yoga studio in Knightdale, part of a franchise based in NJ. In NJ, they exchange 3 hours a week of an individual's time to help in the studio for an unlimited yoga membership. The cost of the membership and benefits is more than the number of hours per month x minimum wage. Is it legal under FLSA to do this?

I parked in a handicapped parking space by mistake in New York. Is there anything I can/should say to try to get the fine reduced, considering I am retired, almost 71 years old, and on a fixed income? I was very preoccupied when I parked and thought I parked next to the handicapped space, but I parked in the space.

We had a property damage claim against the county. They refused to pay it and don't know the reason for the rejection. Do they have to provide this information? Also, can we file a small claims action against the county? The damage was about $5000 and was caused by plugged culverts across the street that the county has not maintained for the last two years, resulting in our property being flooded.

What is the penalty when a buyer buys a home that has a lien/judgement on the property, and is it legal to sell a property with a lien/judgement without satisfying the amount due?
