I am in trouble at work. My employer is asking for a statement from me. I feel that I will be demoted, lose pay, and items will be placed in my file. Should I get a lawyer to help me draft the statement since it's all based on 3 workers' perceptions of my character? I have been employed for 5 years at the selected company and only have one minor infraction. While I did break company policy (pass travel) and admitted to this infraction, I feel I am being railroaded due to my union advocacy.

I recently applied for several jobs I was highly qualified for, but found my name on Intelius with an offensive alias and incorrect information about my residence, education, and relationships. This false information may have cost me job opportunities due to background checks. Do I have any legal grounds for defamation or slander?

I had an intimate relationship with a woman and when I ended it she claimed I knowingly gave her herpes. I have never shown any signs or symptoms of herpes and am planning to get checked soon. She mentioned contacting a lawyer. Do I have anything to worry about legally?

I have an outstanding warrant in North Dakota from 2008 for possession of a controlled substance (2 prescription pills). I was searched without probable cause and was let go without being charged at the time. I only became aware of the warrant recently. I live in Texas and was in North Dakota at the time. What are my options for resolving this, and can the charges be dropped or reduced?

I have been contacted by a collection company about an old debt from the 2000-2002 timeframe. The debt was either an unsecured or secured loan made in Kentucky, and since 2001, I have lived in Pennsylvania. They have offered a reduced settlement, but I have not committed to it. Do I have any defense in that a statute of limitations has passed, and what should I do next?
