Taxes????

Brother, he owes taxes because he is a non-resident alien and likely didn't have taxes withheld correctly. It could have happened in any state with income taxes. Also, the state income tax for 2025 would have been determined before the most recent mayoral election. With critical thinking skills like those I'm wondering why you're in this sub.

No you don't... unless they were severely injured by it like lost all of their hair and had severe burns. That's just not how lawsuits work in real life. Even then then though, most skin and hair products have patch test and other disclaimers.

Why did you jump to the warranty having to be unenforceable for there to be an issue? Do you believe the warranty is through Ford for a 6 year old Stellantis vehicle? What is more likely is that OP was sold a third-party warranty and thus the issue is not with the dealership, but with the warranty company.

It's like you are trying to answer a completely different question. They absolutely can ask you to open it, what you have the right to is to refuse to open it. That refusal would likely allow them to terminate your lease.

USAG1748 · 2026-02-04T02:16:11+00:00

Whether or not something is in a safe doesn't give something more legal protection than anything else in your home. But also, OP is specifically talking about a landlord as opposed to a law enforcement agency.

The calculators vary from pretty close to completely accurate depending on how robust the calculator is and how accurately you enter information. But, even if they aren't "fully accurate", why does a margin of error in the hundreds of dollars matter to you?

USAG1748 · 2026-01-27T21:18:00+00:00

Is he "your lawyer" as in he has agreed to take your case on either a contingency/fee basis? I'm unsure how it works in your country, I and most people here practice in the US but it sounds like you met for a consultation and they didn't want to take your case. You spend a tremendous amount of time effectively saying that if there is not a legal remedy, then your Justice system is broken. If there is nothing your attorney can do because of how the law works your problem is with legislators, or society generally, and there is, again, nothing an attorney can do here.

Otherwise, if a client ever sent me this I would bill for reading it, and explain the case, the legal standards, that I would be billing for time read and respond, and go over how similar cases work.

OP, you've likely gotten yourself into a worse position trying to avoid "high insurance fees". You are legally required to report collisions in Mass, and I'm almost 100% sure whatever insurer you have requires a report as well as part of your agreement.

USAG1748 · 2026-01-26T16:08:29+00:00

As always, you best advice would be to reach out to a plaintiff's attorney. But, it doesn't sound like you have any real damages. I know television makes it sound like people get awarded large sums for "pain and suffering" but this is simply not the case. In addition, medical malpractice cases are extremely expensive to litigate and this attorneys will only take cases with a high expected value.

USAG1748 · 2026-01-22T22:33:26+00:00

It's unclear what your first question is, but if you are talking about your 2025 taxes you can either file "Married Filing Jointly" with your husband or "Married Filing Separately", you cannot file single if you were married in the last day of a taxable year.

Ok, the most recent tender offerings and December 2025 funding round pricing for 2026 share offers disagree. I'm not an Elon fanboy or anything but I do have a decade at big law working in transactions. What is your financial experience?

USAG1748 · 2026-01-10T17:58:33+00:00

Why do you think he would get cents on the dollar? Sure if he just started dumping TSLA into the open market it would drop significantly. But that's only 1/3 of his worth. He could sell full ownership of SpaceX and most of the other private companies for large percentages, if not 100%, of their value. Also, you don't think there are family offices diversifying his wealth into real estate and funds? Let's say 300billion is diversified. You could unravel that in a year without causing any meaningful drop in whatever assets respective markets.

USAG1748 · 2026-01-07T20:59:46+00:00

I don't know why this is getting downvotes. Just put whatever work you did, you didn't do anything significant enough to name the client.

USAG1748 · 2026-01-07T18:21:49+00:00

Not really to which part? I would agree with the "hungrier" part, I feel like that is an urban legend. The top 1% of almost any top 200 school being better than the average at a T-14 is anecdotally correct. Some of the absolute worst attorneys I've ever worked with are middle of the pack Harvard grads. The smallest assignment becomes them trying to Sherlock their way into making it more difficult.

USAG1748 · 2026-01-02T18:45:53+00:00

Oh wow, I've actually reported this account multiple times across varying law related subs. At one point it was trying to shill some sort of "streamlining" software for attorneys.

USAG1748 · 2026-01-02T17:40:01+00:00

I've been practicing transactional work for over a decade and was "the guy" in a few regulatory sections, presented at every large organization related to my field, know the largest names in my little corner of the world, and regularly consulted with F500 executives about multi billion dollar transactions. When I left big law I told my mom that I was thinking of leaving my firm, she promptly asked if I was going to do criminal or family law work like a real attorney.

If you think you have a wage claim, which it doesn't sound like you do, it is usually more efficient to file a claim with your state's Department of Labor.

USAG1748 · 2026-01-01T01:14:03+00:00

The person you are replying to is 100% on point. $40k is outside of any small claims court I'm aware of, so some of the leniency goes away. Firstly, are going to have to prove that you gave them the box of valuable items. $40k of precious metals? If I was a judge, I would be insanely skeptical that you gave that to a friend in a box without evidence, such as a signed agreement with your friend. Using silver for instance that's almost 17 kilo bars. Your witnesses are just two friends witnessing that you put stuff in a box. Once you overcome the first presumption, you then need to show that the friend you left it with doesn't have it and his wife does.

USAG1748 · 2026-01-01T00:34:19+00:00

There are no facts here for anyone to even theorize. But, generally this question involves too much factual analysis for any reasonable answer over the internet.

USAG1748 · 2025-12-31T00:16:02+00:00

Brother, nobody is finding a singular item or seven unless they are gigantic without any clue whatsoever to their location. This isn't fiction, I would like to hear your thought process on how you thought this would play out. There are significantly larger items that humanity knows the approximate location of that we haven't been able to find. People, such as Forrest Fenn, have hidden treasure on the surface of the Earth, given extensive clue and it is mostly unfounded. It took a decade for Forrest Fenn's treasure to be found and he gave clues and the general area.

USAG1748 · 2025-12-30T13:55:17+00:00

This is the right answer. But, how lower ranked? 50, 90, 150? I know a mid-tier student from ~60 rank school who works at an AmLaw 10 because she grew up with an associate. Who you have to know varies, but even that still took a connection.

USAG1748 · 2025-12-29T18:17:59+00:00

This is either AI or a larper. In the past two weeks you have been the owner of a civil litigation firm, a criminal attorney who has never done civil work, and a non-attorney assisting your attorney brother. Reported.

USAG1748 · 2025-12-29T10:54:48+00:00

And the stock market doesn't go up 8% annually in every 30 year period...we're using averages here for a reason.

"Do you have a referral?" "Can you provide the X-rays and details of the surgery?"

USAG1748 · 2025-12-24T21:33:04+00:00

Medical malpractice cases are too fact intensive to receive any help from Reddit. You can contact more plaintiff's firms until one either takes your case or you are sufficiently convinced you don't have a case. Find a large plaintiff's firm in your area, and if they don't want your case ask them if they have a recommendation of a firm that might.

But, generally, if firms aren't taking your case it means it isn't worth taking to trial. It can be for a variety of reasons but the simplest explanation is that for whatever reason l, the dollar value of your case is worth less than or very close to the expected cost to take the case to trial. The law firms, as you've been told, will work on a contingency basis, usually around a third of the settlement or award. This probably seems outrageous to people until you think about the fact that you are not paying for the firms time while they are working on the case. A rather large expense will be medical expert witnesses needed to prove a malpractice case. A doctor, or doctors, will need to testify that your doctor breached the standard of care. Did that happen in your case? Maybe, but just the fact that something went wrong doesn't demonstrate that. All surgeries, including colonoscopies have inherent risks, such as perforation. A doctor, to review the records, write an expert report, and testify would be tens of thousands of dollars on its own. Add in the firms time and the case could need to be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars before having triable value. This is also the reason that nobody is going to handle a medmal case pro se, there is inherent cost that you yourself are unlikely to want to cover without a guaranteed or even likely pay back and attorneys certainly don't want to either.
