My wife was hired by a Texas company and was in a 90-day probation period. She was doing well and received positive feedback from management. However, after making a comment on a Facebook post about not being included in a team outing, she was terminated on the 75th day of her probation. We suspect this was retaliation for her comment. Is this a valid concern, and what legal options might we have?

I purchased a camper top from a Pennsylvania company, which shipped it to me in California. Upon unpacking, I found damage. I was initially given a verbal agreement to repair the damage, but the company's insurance claim was denied, and they are now disputing the repair cost. Additionally, other issues with the camper have emerged, and the company's response was to either resolve these issues themselves or return the camper at my expense. I would like to know my legal standing, as I purchased a new item but received a damaged one, and more issues are surfacing. I have had the camper for 17 days. What steps should I take, and where should I file a complaint—California or Pennsylvania? Is the shipping company or the provider responsible for the damage? Is the cost of suing worth the potential warranty issues, and can the provider deny further claims due to the shipping damage?

I have a ticket from 2011 for speeding and no license that has been sent to collections. The ticket was issued in a small town far from where I live, and I missed the court date due to my mother being terminally ill with cancer and me being her caretaker. They still have a warrant for me and a hold on my license. What motion can I file in Nevada to get it pulled out of collections, possibly reduce the ticket, and clear the warrant and license hold?

I am developing middleware that would communicate between external MIDI devices, external audio interfaces, digital audio workstations, and a game engine called Unity. I am using Unity's service, Unity Connect, to obtain advice from an expert on Unity on how to develop this software. I would like to continue working with this professional but also prevent theft as this software could be considered intellectual property. Nothing has been developed yet, so it is just an idea. I'm not sure whether I need to file a copyright on the IP or if I just need a non-disclosure agreement specifically designed for this situation.

How do we search for an attorney who can help us get the pain management my husband, who had a serious spinal cord injury in 1979, has been denied by his HMO since February 2019? We have filed grievances with both the HMO and the State HMO board, both of which were denied with no clear explanation. We need to know how to navigate the system and find an attorney who specializes in denial of required medical care related to pain control.
