We are having trouble with Directv. We own a small restaurant in central valley, CA, and signed up for a two-year contract for on-site program viewing. After the contract term, a salesperson, whom we believed to be from Directv, offered us a new package for three TVs that could be used for both home and business. We later received a letter from Directv's lawyer stating that using a residential account for a commercial establishment is a violation of federal law. Directv now wants us to pay $5,000 plus open a commercial account. What are our options? Can we ignore them? What is a realistic settlement amount we'd be looking for? Can we counter sue the third-party and Directv for misleading? What is the legal cost for hiring an attorney for this matter?

I am looking for a criminal lawyer. My son was given a warning and told the next time he will be arrested with a misdemeanor & felony, & kicked out of school. The parent of the other child filed a complaint against my son AFTER her daughter received a detention for swearing. Her daughter pointed out only my son in a group of kids that were calling her a faker. Now, the school is saying my son has harassed her since last year in 8th grade. They are now in high school and they will not provide details of how else he has harassed her other than calling her a faker. I told the school the daughter has pushed my son and how do I file a complaint for the full story? They said they do not allow retaliation reports. I don't want to retaliate, I want the truth on record. My son did not harass her.

I am a single mom with severe medical conditions that have significantly impacted my ability to work, leading to frequent absences from 2005-2009 and a recommendation to stop working in 2009 due to degenerative disc disorder. I have been denied Medicaid several times, and I do not have health insurance or the means to afford medical care. What can I do to get the help I need?

I had back surgery in 2006 with Dr. Kaplan, which helped somewhat but did not eliminate all pain. I continued to see Dr. Kaplan, who sent me for shots and MRIs, but he refused to perform further surgery. In 2012, I went to Dr. Bono, who performed surgery and now I am pain-free. Dr. Bono indicated that it took longer to fix what Dr. Kaplan had done than to perform the original surgery. Is there anything I can do to address the six years of pain and suffering I endured due to Dr. Kaplan's refusal to perform necessary surgery?

Can an abusive party file for and receive a protective order against a third, uninvolved party to prevent them from getting near the victim, and then use this order to blackmail the victim?

If you are not married and you own all your furniture, can the person you are living with take what is yours before you moved in? My sister has been with this guy since January 2012.
