My sister, who has had her license for only 3 months, drove while blacked out drunk, crashed into a concrete divider, and then fled the scene with a guy from the bar who was following her. No other cars were involved, and nobody was hurt. The police arrived before she got home but were from a different town. She told the police she was too drunk to drive and got a ride home. What legal consequences could she face, and could this end up in her favor as there is no medical proof of intoxication?

We have a family plot in Northern Minnesota purchased by our father over 70 years ago. Who is responsible for managing the family plot now that our father, mother, and oldest sibling have died? Does it pass onto the oldest living sibling?

I live in Texas but was on a work trip to California where I experienced a disturbing incident at a hotel. While showering, I noticed a man watching me through an AC vent in my hotel room. The hotel management dismissed my claims and even threatened me when I insisted on reporting it. I have recorded evidence and police reports. I'm unsure if I should wait for the police or seek my own attorney. Should I pursue this in California or Texas, and what type of lawyer should I look for?

We have been a victim of racism and malpractices. My 66-year-old mother, who has severe arthritis and limited mobility, was mistreated during a monogram procedure. The technician was impatient, spoke to her in English despite her not understanding, and caused her significant pain. I recorded the incident and tried to file a complaint, but the representative asked for a power of attorney and implied legal action against me for recording. What should I do to address this mistreatment and discrimination without risking repercussions for my mother?

I’m a resident in a Newburgh, NY condo, and we are being assessed $1,600 for damaged or worn roads, curbs, and storm drains caused by contractors over the last twenty years. The management company allowed snow plow contractors to destroy curbs and drains with no claw back or insurance claims. What parts of this assessment can be contested, and what legal steps should I take?
