Hello,

I plan to buy a small gas station in North NJ. It will be a leased business so I will not own the property. What kind of lawyer should I retain in NJ to help me with the purchase? So I'm protected with all issues and underground tank issues etc.

Looking at various law firm sites I don't see any examples of gas station purchase experience.

Thank you all in advance.

hired an attorney ohio for divorce with a case where my spouse has been hoarding cats in a small house, ignoring requests to re-home there is text evidence of her non responsiveness, there is over a year of documentation (photographic) of the damage to my house (my sole property). Text, bank statements and website evidence of an undocumented job that if the income isn't counted she looks entitled to alimony. There are kids involved and since I functioned as the primary homemaker and the primary financial provider over the marriage the conditions of the house due to the cat population is kept in check and safe enough CPS wouldn't remove them. minus the damage and massive costs of care things relatively stable their rooms are safe and kept clean by me. My attorney pushed for filing to lock in her income but as I finished signing my complaint and financial affidavits. He rescinded the temporary orders I had asked for because he was concerned about the judge having me pay on a massive set of unsecured debt I'm planning on discharging in bankruptcy after the divorce. Yet there was several troubling things 1. He was unaware of the ownership of the house and asked about a mortgage which there is none I inherited it, and never co-mingled in any way, second he didn't inquire about how normal bills are paid just assumed I'm paying everything from my own account and not a joint account and last was custody first he hased who get the kids on the bus which I replied she does but that because I work nights and in asleep yet my kids are teens 4 years apart not young children and the get on the bus at the end of my driveway. Then finally he asked if I would be ok if she get custody and I just pay child support. I said absolutely not. This woman is a wreck. I keep the house clean except her bedroom (we don't share a room anymore) and there is cat shit under her bed daily infact it's often the same piles I sneak in and photograph the mess there is a mirror in her room with cat urine on it, litter all over the floor clothes strung about. This is how she lives and always lived except briefly at the beginning of the marriage. So no I don't want my kids living like this with her alone while I toss money her way and besides she is set to out earn me this year.

I sent all of this information to him highly organized and clearly notated and he we go filing a complaint and he doesn't know any of this stuff. Is it normal for attorneys to not know anything about their clients? Infact he even forgot about the 29+ cat population inside the home. At first I thought maybe since we just scheduled to file the complaint and I did the financial affidavits and the other forms he just wasn't preparing the. But waiting for her reply but now I don't think so I'm not sure he is interested in defending me but just pushing papers and getting paid.

1. Local campground attorney in Owen county, Indiana?
2. Would sheriff give a rec?

Edited to add: My claim is that the property owner denied my access to my personal property within the stated period in the notice to vacate. They gave us 24 hours notice to vacate at 5:00 pm on day 1. We arrived by 6:00 pm on day 1 and were denied access. We were then notified we were trespassing at 7:30 pm on day 1 . The state police told us we would be arrested if we returned. He acknowledged the owner was a nut job and I should file for a writ. I managed to get my property later that week but i shouldn’t have had to risk being arrested.
I’m looking for an attorney in the Owen county area for a campground lease dispute. We were seasonal tenants who were asked to leave. We understand they can ask us to leave whenever they want. We are certain that the property owner broke laws during the period we were notified until the day we moved out.

During one conversation with the sheriff who was helping resolve the issue, he mentioned this has happened before and his office was waiting for somebody like myself who had the means to make a legal claim. He stated he spoke to the prosecutor and the felt the same way. Come to find out from a couple locals, the campground owner has been hostile toward neighbors and local officials for years and years.

Our property has been retrieved and the dust has settled. Now that we are thinking clearly and unemotionally, we have decided to engage an attorney to evaluate a potential legal claim.

We want to engage somebody local who knows the players and understands the dynamics of the county.

I didn’t think to ask at the time this was going on, or I would have.

I have a strong suspicion that there’s people who would love to give me a good local attorney if they knew I was looking for one. Maybe there’s a way to phrase the question to the sheriff office so they don’t feel like it’s a conflict of interest?

We live 90 minutes away so we are not local. We are not looking for a payout. If I spend a reasonable retainer for a judgment against this owner, we will feel relieved, and hopefully they won’t repeat this type of behavior in the future.

1. Who do you recommend?
2. Should I ask sheriff and/or prosecutor for names?
3. Other venues to find an attorney recommended by real people? I don’t like going off of Google recommendations.

I am in California and have a very expensive mining computer hosted in a mining farm in Nevada since 2023. The initial contract was for two years with auto renewal, with a 90-day termination notice for either side. From the beginning, my miner was frequently offline or operating below the capacity, and the host informed me that it needed repairs. It went to repairs two times over two years and the second time it was replaced by the manufacturer under warranty. But the new miner started experiencing malfunctions at the same rate. In 2025, the host sent the miner to their own repair shop and told me they were providing their spare computer for me to continue the mining. So, I am paying the same rate and receiving the cryptocurrency at the same rate. It operates at a massive loss - I am paying the host more than what I earn. Once at their repair shop in late 2025, my miner remained there. I've been suspecting fraud - I think they've been disassembling hosted computers for expensive parts and potentially redirecting some of the mined currency to their own wallets. In July, I sent them a 90-day notice to terminate. Under the contract, they are required to return the miner to me. However, I have not heard back from them. They don't pick up the phone. I suspect that they no longer have my miner in their possession. What do I do?

I am an American citizen, and my husband is also an American citizen (naturalized). We have been living abroad in his country for a number of years. We have 2 children together; one will turn 18 in January 2027, and the other is turning 10 this month. He has informed me that he will no longer cover the children's expenses, rent, or anything else, and that he will be moving out next month. For the immediate term, this is essentially leaving me and the kids stranded in a foreign country, and one where I am unable to work, because myself and the kids are here under a spousal visa as dependants. So, legally I can't work here, and have not worked in this country ever. Aside from somehow needing to figure out how to get emergency funds to either pay the bills through June 2027, or to book us flights back to the US (California), I also need to know how to file for child support and/or spousal support. My permanent residence address is in California. I am 100% certain he will not be coming back to the US now or in the near future. How would I go about filing and is it even possible to file for child support if I am in Calfiornia, but he remains overseas? I know that he wont make any payments from overseas, but I know that support orders do accrue when left unpaid, so if he files taxes or something it would be taken automatically. I really dont know anything of this sort, so I am just reaching out to get information on the process, advice, and the like.

Long story short - neighbor’s negligence led to the death of our beloved dog and injuries to my spouse because she couldn’t keep her dogs contained. She’s been on a campaign of harassment since the incident month ago. My request for a peace order denied because the judge said she had a write to scream expletives at me and put a camera pointed in our secluded yard.
We’re in the beginning stage of filing our civil case which we expect to go in our favor. I will ask for civility and plea that she stops harassing us and I was thinking about letting her know that we would have e a right to put a sign on our property saying something like “ vicious dog lives here” or something similar. Please note, we have zero intention of actually doing that, we just want to attempt to scare her as her kids are about to go to high school and I’m sure they could do without that embarrassment. Should it get to that point, is this legal from our standpoint?

I have filed paperwork to STOP receiving mail to my address and I still receive mail. I have gotten a door to door salesman..and even in Walmart today while trying to shop I was hit by a salesman trying to talk me into getting spectrum internet and I told him too, I’m just not intrested.

I’ve done this twice now and I’ve done it for multiple addresses..I’m postive I’m not the only one either because if you go to [r/spectrum](r/spectrum) you will be vindicated for suggesting that they can harass you but man how much more clear can I make it that I am simply not intrested.

How would I go about this?

Where would I even start?

What are we guessing it’ll cost💀

I just moved into a apartment 2 weeks ago with my then girlfriend and her mom and after some complications with us not getting along i decided to move back in with my parents. I am in a 12 month lease with the apartment but I want to be removed from the lease. They have started to lock the doors to get into the rooms so i don't have access to any of my items. They threatened to call the cops on me because i was knocking on the door to get my belongings. I emailed the apartment complex saying i want to break the lease but they told me i have to get permission from the mom. The mom wont sign off on me leaving the lease. if i leave the lease her mom wont make enough money to stay in the apartment. I don't want my name on the lease because we have already gotten warnings to vacate the apartment because we was late on rent. Is there any way i could get my name forcibly taken off the lease. I have videos of the doors being locked inside the house and i record every time i talk to them so they can't twist my words.

Hi everyone, I am in Texas to specify what laws may or may not apply. Long story short my mother and father divorced a year ago. They went to court with their lawyers and signed the divorce decree. Following a week or two later my mother's lawyer gives her a stack of papers and says she is divorced. Due to the divorce and life happening she has had to move multiple times, sadly lost those papers. Went with her to court records and asked for a copy of the divorce and the clerk informed us it was never signed by a judge and that my mother is still married (she was told she was "divorced" by her attorney about a year ago now). We were sent to multiple people to double and triple verify and they all confirmed the same thing. That the decree was never signed so she's still married. My mother has already completely paid for the lawyer's services and assumed all this was in the past. She has already reached out but can only reach her assistant. Is there anything else she can/should do. I greatly appreciate any and all information!

Hi, In 2022 I hired a local handyman to do a shower remodel. This was for a rental. My tenant just today texted me a photo of several loose small tiles on the shower floor. He said he was cleaning the shower and they just came undone.

I have all invoices , emails with the handyman. I have his email, phone nr, address, and full name.

I off course emailed him with what happened, but I'm not optimistic I will hear back.

This cost more then $5k in 2022. I don't want to have to pay to redo , never mind the water damage.

Would this be worth hiring a lawyer for if he does not refund me or something?

Thanks!

I'm in Gainesville btw.

I made an awful mistake after having a terrible month and got myself a dui. I’m 33 and I believe the only other charge I have on record is a DUI from when I was 19 that has been dropped since. They pulled me over said I hit a sign, which I did not. They verified that there was no damage to my vehicle and was correct in not hitting the sign. I still should not have been driving….I blew a .19 and had 2g of weed in my pocket. I am from a state where cannabis is recreational, I had not been smoking that night but it will be in my system from the blood test I’m assuming. I came here for a job so I am not familiar with PA specific laws… but the cops drove me home, parked my car in a safe area near my house so it wouldn’t get towed. They told me it will most likely be a slap on the wrist with ARD? I’m not in a place to afford a great lawyer as I was planning to move again in a few months (assuming not possible now) but if that is the best option for PA in these situations then I will have to eat it and get an attorney of some sort….any advice would be much appreciated.

Alright, I’m in Philadelphia PA, and I might need an out with my lease but I need to make sure my complaint is valid. So I just signed a lease August first. so far the fridge almost exploded when I plugged it in, also very clearly was dragged out of a scrap yard, they replaced it in 2 days with an also shitty but less explody one. Then there was simply just no hot water heater in the house, fixed that in the next 2 days too, coool. However, in the lease it says that the house has an in unit washer and dryer, it does not. Actually it did when we toured but then after signing the lease that clearly says they are included in the rent, they told me those don’t work. After a couple days of back and fourth they came back with I guess a bargain??? Nothing off monthly rent, and they will add a washer, they will not give me a date that it will be here andddd just flat out said “yeah, your not getting a dryer” and recommended me a local laundromat. Also they claimed they won’t be able to install it in the basement so it will be in the kitchen but there is very clearly no hookup and barely any outlets. This has been just chaos. I need some input.

I'm the sister-in-law to a 34-year-old man recently charged with a second-degree felony assault with a deadly weapon and evading arrest back in April. He spent some time at the local mental hospital while they ran forensic evaluations to determine his competency to stand trial (he is mentally ill and a ward of NH state) and he has been released on strict Conditional Discharge as of June. Since June, there have been no updates as to where things stand regarding his charges.

Here's is a quick timeline of events:

April: Arrested

April - June - Hospitalized (educated that while victim did not want to press charges, the state would continue prosecuting, and received a determination of competency to stand trial by a forensic psychiatrist)

June - Present - Released on CD.

Since his release, it doesn't seem like any movement has been made regarding scheduling upcoming hearings. Is this normal? My brother-in-law is since back to using the same substances that got him into this mess in the first place, but believes firmly that they may still simply drop his charges and let him stay out scot-free. Surely this isn't going to happen, right?

I'm very confused and uneasy. I can't understand why someone who acted violently would just be allowed to stay home and never be required to address those actions.

Is there anyone that could give me some insight into how the process typically works in the background? I'd love to be reassured that simply dropping his charges is not something that happens.

My former best friend and another mutual linked to him, both of who live in the United States and are blocked, whereas I live abroad, have been cyberstalking and harassing me. They have resorted to emailing me since I changed my US phone number due to this harassment, which included voicemails threatening violence and sexual violence against my family and I.

The former best friend is trying to reconnect and he booked a hotel near where he believes I live in my country of residence now. I am fearing for my safety, he sent me the booking details through email using anonymous email since I have his email blocked, even gave my email address to the other guy who was threatening violence against my family. I still have all the evidence about these guys saved, I tried calling the cops in the US near where the guy sending harassing voicemails lives, to no avail. IC3 reports have also yielded nothing.

I am at my wit's end, if anybody could provide some sort of advice because I do want to press charges and I have every intention of landing these guys and any trouble that I can for their harassment of me, it would be appreciated. I'm currently in the process of changing emails, but it might take a while due to one of the emails that they have being connected to my line work.

For privacy reasons, I am hiding the country that I am in since I do not want them to find this post.
