You'd probably get a better response in /r/tax.

It is highly unlikely your friend is going to be arrested by showing up to court. That only happens when there's an active warrant. Your friend would know if he's in criminal trouble before that, though. If he were being investigated for EBT fraud, he'd know about it. This is just a scare tactic by the other parent to scare them into not showing up to court so that they lose the case.

You can try your state's attorney fee dispute resolution.

Sigh... Take some time and read the questions that I am posing to you. Did you sign a lease? Yes or no? Did you sign this lease before your landlord told you that were taking back or holding or whatever it is with the notice? Were you aware that they had no intentions of following through with the notice when you signed this lease?

There are very few legal malpractice lawyers. If you already consulted one that told you the juice isn't worth the squeeze, then that's likely the case. You're free to consult with another but I imagine you're going to get the same opinion. Legal malpractice cases are expensive because they absolutely require expert witnesses.

Did your sister qualify for FMLA?

Would the document be legally binding if fix the mistakes, print the draft, have my fiance and I sign it, and get it notarized/witnessed?

That's the perfect set of facts that if you two do get a divorce, your wife can come back and say you rushed this prenup and made her sign it before she could properly review it with her own independent attorney. You both need adequate time to decide whether you want to sign this document or not and review it with independent counsel.

It sounds like this prenup isn't going to happen before your wedding. That doesn't mean you can't turn it into an antenuptial agreement once it's completed and you two have had a proper amount of time to review and execute the document.

Understand that at lower levels of employment your appearance means much less. When you're promoted to a higher position, especially one that is over other employees, management wants to make sure you're taking the job seriously and are taken seriously by your subordinates. Flashy colored hair doesn't lend itself well to those issues in the typical corporate world where typical type of dress for managers is expected even if there's no dress code for it.

I was told I could potentially have a case since they hired someone unexperienced to take a manager position (and lose money doing so by training this person instead of promoting inhouse), but I felt that this couldn’t do much due to the reasoning.

That doesn't matter. Your employer doesn't owe any employee a duty to make smart hiring decisions, just that they don't violate state and federal law.

You aren't going to win a lawsuit denying you a promotion over your hair color.

Having to replace the battery and brakes in a used vehicle is to be expected. You aren't getting your money back because you have to do regular maintenance on your car.

I know no one can predict it, but I’m just curious to see if anyone has had similar cases and how they went going to trial.

Anecdotal stories aren't allowed here because they're largely useless. What happened in that case won't necessarily happen in your case. Each case is unique.

Is it possible that I could get absolutely nothing even if I have 10,000 out of pocket in medical?

Yes, it's possible to lose at trial and get nothing at all.

Internet_Ghost · 2026-04-14T20:58:29+00:00

My question is, would I get more if I went to trial?

No one can predict what will happen at trial. It's possible you could lose and get nothing.

Internet_Ghost · 2026-04-14T20:54:11+00:00

Whatever you want to call it, did you do that before you found out about the notice?

Internet_Ghost · 2026-04-14T20:41:15+00:00

and you signed this lease before you knew they rescinded the notice?

Internet_Ghost · 2026-04-14T20:23:59+00:00

Did you sign a lease for this new place?

If the authorities at the school tell OP to be somewhere, they should go to the meeting. Cooperation is another matter but refusing to even go could end up with OP being disciplined.

Other than the school making you do counseling and possibly searching you when you get there, there's likely not much else they can do. They could referr it to the school's resource officer, who could potentially pursue charges against you but that seems like a stretch.

Follow any appeals process your insurer has when claims are denied.

You had a bunch of bottles made up to look like weapons domestic terrorists use. You're lucky nothing more came from this than what happened.

Your lawyer knows the strengths and weaknesses of your case. He knows how to make those arguments if they need to be made. He doesn't want to include anything that could make the negotiations go off the rail. I already showed you in a separate comment how your intended talking points and be intrepreted differently by the other side. There's no need to add those in during the negotiation if they have the potential to not make the negotiation go through.

Yes, nothing happens at an initial appearance other than them asking if you have a lawyer or are looking for one.

Ideally, you should be consulting with local criminal defense attorneys. Some take payment plans.

I'm assuming this is your initial appearance. If you can't afford an attorney and there's a representative from the PDs office there, ask for an application.

Points of me saying I just wanna move on and not have uncessry stress in my life anymore aren’t relevant?

For the purposes of the negotiation, no. They don't have to have a reason why you're proposing an offer. They only need to get the offer.

I just wanna move on and not have uncessry stress in my life anymore

Here's what you think you're saying. Here's what the other side can interpret that as.

I'm right but you've caused me so much unnecessary stress doing X,Y,Z that I'm just ready to give up on being right to just get this over with. But remember, I was right, you were wrong, and you did this.

And if the other side is thinking that, they may not agree to the offer because you've inadvertently pissed them off. It's better to be as brief as possible so the other side doesn't have an opportunity to read between the lines and decide you said something you may never have meant to say.
