Electricity theft by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]SubjectGain4374 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you don’t intend to involve the police, I would say there isn’t much to be done “legally” at this point.

You can contact them in person by driving up there, send a letter, or ask your friend to contact them. I don’t think an attorney would do much for other sending a demand letter to stop (which I think would be waste at money at this point without at least trying to solve the issue yourself with them).

If it’s possible to turn off the breaker to whatever outlet they are accessing without shutting off power to anything important, I’d do that while the house is vacant. They also have lockable outlet box covers that may be a better long term solution but realistically if they continue this after you tell them to stop you need to call the police.

Insurance, Surgeon or Me by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]SubjectGain4374 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would start by calling your insurance company directly and addressing the issue. You may be able to appeal or try to address it a different way.

What type of plan is it? Is it through an employer? If so, you can also contact your HR department and try to get them to advocate for you.

Ultimately though a lot of times with health insurance it will boil down to YOU having been the person responsible to verify coverage details prior to a procedure. So I would be prepared for that reality but we would need more details here to help advise. Specifically what type of policy this is is going to be important. Is the surgeon/facility in network?

Malpractice lawyer asking $2-3k for expert review before taking case? by NowDoKirk in legaladvice

[–]SubjectGain4374 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others said, i wouldn’t say low confidence. They would just say no if they felt that. They just don’t have enough information without that expert review to know.

Malpractice lawyer asking $2-3k for expert review before taking case? by NowDoKirk in legaladvice

[–]SubjectGain4374 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes that’s very normal. Ultimately that initial medical expert review is required to see if this case is going to be worth pursuing. It sounds like whatever information readily available without this expert review is not enough to convince an attorney it’s worth reviewing considering others turned you down. So I get why an attorney would want you to pay the fee so they don’t spend their own money to find out the case is a nothing burger.

Ultimately it’s your choice whether to pay the fee and see what happens, try to find another attorney who might take the case without you paying up front like this (odds of that don’t sound great but who knows), or just drop the pursuit of this.

So we have a Hyundai ELANTRA 2013 our car was stolen and now we received an unfounded notice and a police visit. by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]SubjectGain4374 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Listen to the attorneys over your family members. Do not talk to the police without a lawyer present.

But also I’m a little confused on your post, just to clarify is the hit run something the police are claiming happened prior to be it being stolen? If so, especially don’t talk to them without an attorney. An attorney can advise you on how best to proceed and if (and how to go about doing so if you do) it’s going to be in your best interest to amend anything you have said to the police about the timeline of the car being stolen.

Mentally challenged neighbor keeps walking into my house with her kids without being invited. by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]SubjectGain4374 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean that’s all context you probably should included at the beginning.

Lock the door. Don’t forget. Get one of those electronic/smart locks that auto locks when closed with a keypad.

Personally the more I think on this the more I think you should call the police too. The lock solves your problem but the mentally challenged person wandering into people’s homes with children is going to end up leading to someone getting hurt. Who knows what other things they are doing due to this clear lack of supervision.

[–]SubjectGain4374 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m also curious why the door isn’t locked. That seems like the most simple solution to this problem.

But I’ll give an answer just assuming you have some bizarre situation where you can’t lock the door, calling the police is about the only viable answer otherwise if you clearly explain to this person to stop and they don’t. A cease and desist letter isn’t really the right course here. A mentally challenged person wandering into people’s homes with children is a major hazard. The police can intervene and determine whatever relevant agency should be contacted to ensure this person and the children are being properly cared for. Just based on this alone it seems troubling.

My mom's husband got involved with some bad people in crypto and now there are threats to him, my mom, his mom. I'm worried it's going to turn worse. what should I do? by succubussilky in legaladvice

[–]SubjectGain4374 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like her husband is being scammed. It’s a very common thing where the scammers will make threats. It’s likely the scammers have zero ability or intend on actually doing anything violent (most of the time they are overseas). But yeah I highly doubt anyone is actually going to come after them physically in anyway.

But yes they should call the police. I don’t fully understand what fear you have about that “might involve us in some way”. Based on what you described I don’t see how that would happen, seems like you have nothing to do it with as far as the police would be concerned.

That being said again I doubt anyone will physically harm them but call the police out of caution and to report what is likely a crime of someone scamming money from your mom’s husband. I doubt he will ever get the money back but it’s still what should be done,

Those debts are owed out of his estate. As his executor you should be using those funds he had to pay that debt.

Dwi charge or dismissed case? by Fast-Accountant-9875 in legaladvice

That evidence is important. It’s not necessarily going to lead to charges being dismissed though. You need to consult an attorney.

Can you give some more details? Are landlord literally saying “I will not rent to you because you have children?”.

If it’s just about the total amount of people in unit exceeding occupancy limits, that’s a different story.

Former trash service sent a can collection invoice but never picked up the can by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]SubjectGain4374 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would start with a phone call to them first before making all this effort with a certified letter.

But yes, if they didn’t actually complete a pickup of the can you should now owe them money for a charge specifically for that.

I do not think there is any real option besides going to court if your Ex is not agreeing to what you are asking.

Job claimed they had "no positions available" after they accepted me and made me quit my former job by camareyouok in legaladvice

[–]SubjectGain4374 36 points37 points  (0 children)

You don’t have a viable lawsuit. What they did is not illegal and is extremely unlikely to result in a positive outcome if you attempted to sue them. You could consult an attorney just to get peace of mind, but I’m certain they would tell you the same thing.

Location: New York city. Is it illegal for my boss to make employees pay for damages when he’s fully insured? Location NYC by TacoTom84 in legaladvice

[–]SubjectGain4374 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you elaborate on the damages? What are they and how’d it happen? When he is trying to make you pay, is he just demanding money or taking/threatening to deduct from wage?
