We were given permission by the city to clear out a landscaped area, but after removing a tree, the neighbor is suing us for $60,000, claiming the tree was on their property. We have conflicting property surveys and the city has confirmed the area is our property. What should we do, and if we lose the lawsuit, can we file for bankruptcy to avoid paying the judgment?

Is it legal for me to offer grow room consultations and cannabis growing consultations in Ohio, where marijuana is still illegal, by only discussing vegetable and fruit growing and having clients sign a terms and agreement stating the advice is for non-marijuana purposes?

I want to get clearance from Tennessee state. I was there from 1977 to 1980 and had a bad check issue, was arrested, and paid the fine at the same time, but I don't remember the exact date. What steps can I take to get this cleared?

I took on a business partner and gave them 50%. We have a shotgun provision in place. I recently discovered through our company email that he is complaining about me to the lawyer who did our partnership agreement. It seems they have a cozier relationship than I initially thought. They told me that the lawyer was the other person's professor at NYU. I discovered in the emails that my partner is very disgruntled because he thinks I tell him what to do. The truth is he does not do much so I have to ask him to do things. I am polite, even keeled, and pleasant. He has told people that I am a maniac, a screaming banshee, totally insane, etc...all furthest from the truth. The worry I have is that I spent 2 years building the company and then took him on as a partner. He has turned out to be mean-spirited and lazy. He has a lot of personal money and I do not have any, which he knows. 4 questions come to mind: 1) is it legal for me to look at his company email...we are both 'our name'@the name of the company.com.' 2) is it OK that it turns out that he has a personal friendship with the lawyer that did our initial partnership agreement? 3) Can he get in trouble if I have emails proving that he is tarnishing my reputation? and conspiring against me with contacts he wants to join the company? 4) is there ever a way out of the shotgun agreement since I cannot afford to purchase the company from him, even if he gives me a low price?

Hello! I live in Alliance, Nebraska. This May we had our roof replaced. The roof failed by the city inspector. The roofer is licensed but didn't follow what the inspector told him to do. What can we do?
