My father gave me some money and some of my siblings were pressuring me to pay this sum back. I wrote an email assuring them that I would when a certain property is sold. My father has since passed away and that property has been sold. There was no promissory note made between my father and me. The only thing is this email that was written under my wife's email address. Some siblings are happy to say that my father was quite adamant at a meeting that this sum was given to me freely. I did, at one stage, go as far as prepare a cheque for the sibling who's been demanding his share of the money but I pulled back when I realized that he wanted also gains eg interests etc from this sum as well. How legally binding is this email?

I purchased some CD duplication equipment online and leased it through a bank. The equipment I received was not what I ordered and does not work correctly. Can I send the equipment back and get out of my lease?

My husband and I need a lawyer to fight CarMax. They refuse to return our vehicle after I declined for them to repair it. We purchased a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 in August 2010 from CarMax. The engine light came on in January 2011, and after multiple repairs and issues, we took it to a local PepBoys auto shop, which indicated no work was done. Our warranty company declined further repairs by PepBoys and advised us to return the vehicle to CarMax. CarMax now demands additional payment for repairs we declined, and they refuse to return the vehicle unless we speak with their legal department. Can you recommend an attorney in the Maryland/DC area to handle this issue?

My ex has been stalking me, entering my home and car, damaging my property, and altering household items. I have filed multiple police reports but no one has seen him. Can I still file a restraining order and what evidence do I need to support my allegations?

An individual owes my roofing company $1380 since last August and refuses to pay. He has been sent a letter threatening legal action if payment is not made within 10 days. His lawyer has contacted me, and I am considering taking him to Small Claims Court. What are my options for recovering the debt, including potential penalties and what happens if he doesn't show up in court?
