For your protection, I would definitely get a lawyer

In Reply to: This is a legal question and I'm curious if anyone knows the answer to this...sm - Please see message
especially if they're going to hire one.
You could forfeit your rights to the property if you don't respond properly and in a timely manner and in order to do that you need a professional to examine all the legal paperwork.
My neighbor went through a somehat similar situation with her house...but too long to go into here.

No but I keep one for my own protection!

virus protection
There is a company who is connected with Norton, Symantic (spelling ?) that has Eanthology/stop sign. Look it up on the web. This costs less than $7 a month (I have 3 computers on this). You download from the web, has a firewall, pop, the whole 9 yards. I have a VIP subscription and they have been on the phone with me for an hour before fixing my computer. I would recommend them to anyone. You can also find them by putting in Stop-sign computer protection service. Let me know if you need additional info
My space protection.
Okay, so you can limit who can see your child's profile but can you limit the profiles your child can search for and look at? That is my question.
Because you have overdraft protection, you're...
fine as far as doing nothing illegal. Also, when a deposited check bounces and there have been checks written assuming the check was good, that is not illegal. However, writing a check and KNOWING the funds are not there is check kiting, which is a federal offense. Do banks prosecute? Normally they will not, unless it comes to the point of numerous checks OBVIOUSLY written knowing they will not clear on the second or third time (maximum of 3 times). Then, the recipients of the checks can press charges. Believe me it happens. I was a bank manager for many years, and, although it didn't happen very often, it did happen.
Also, in reality banks love check bouncers. They are the "money maker" accounts. Those fees add up VERY quickly.
My dh is a deputy sheriff, and the jail in his county has many, many inmates in for check-kiting. In our state the first conviction is 1-5 years, and it get worse from there.
Who hasn't written a check at the grocery store on a Thursday night, knowing the money wouldn't be there until they made a deposit on Friday. I know I have. One day is pretty safe, but now that so many banks use the same clearing house, writing a check even 2 days before a deposit is risky...unfortunately speaking from experience here.
So, overdraft protection is the way to go. Safe and legal. 
BK laws have changed. Ch 13 (repay) protection
is only option available if I understand the details correctly. Visa Corp. has tried to push this bill through for a decade and it was finally passed. There may be certain dire situations that allow an individual to wipe out debt (Ch7) but it will be a rare one. It is wage garnishment until the debt is paid, basically, though it may stop added penalities and possibly stop the debt from growing over time. See a reputable BK atty for a free 30 consult. It is all in the numbers really. What you owe and what your earning potential is, possibly the situation at hand but not like before (I filed Ch 13 after misfortune to save my home, paid back debt over 3 years with my wages garnished). Bad timing for this economy and many people will suffer, especially the elderly and the ill.
Can anyone recommend a good virus/security protection?
I currently use a program called PC cillin. I have used Norton, and with both I still managed to get "worms" on my computer. Also, my internet service is with AOL.
Thanks.
wrong. the virus protection and anti-spyware
are only as good as the updates and are NOT 100% all the time. NO program is 100%. Hackers are finding new ways to compromise computers every single day and no program can protect from all of them. The longer you are up and running, the more chance of being invaded. don't fool yourself into thinking antivirus and antispyware are fool proof, because they are not. You have to think smart and protect yourself too, by shutting down when not in use and allowing new updates to take effect. duh.
YES, your email has COMPLETE protection on this site. We have worked VERY hard to make sure
that e-mail addresses are protected. Spheris did not glean your email address from this site. In the meantime, if you enter your email address in the E-mail field, you can be emailed, but the sender cannot see your email address. They have no idea WHAT your email address is. ONLY if YOU reply to them will the sender then find out what it is. If you have further questions, email me and we'll discuss it.
Do not download the Panda titanium software for virus checker and spyware protection. It corrupted
my entire computer, had to have service man fix it to the tune of $150.00.
Get a new lawyer! nm

Get a lawyer
In some states this is illegal and after you turn in your resignation or are fired there is a set number of days employers have to pay up last checks or go to court. Check on this in your areas. Call the Department of Employement in your state or hers and complain in writing. If you all can find a lawyer who is a good person and truly wants to help you (my daugher found one like that and he even returned her check with a nice note that stated he enjoyed helping her and that was the only fee he needed as he had heard stuff for years about the company in question and was honored to help someone out against an employer without integrity - I swear this is true, so look around you. There are some really nice lawyers if you look). If you all have to pay one maybe you could all chip in and file a class action suit. Hold onto all equipment and refuse to release it to her until you are paid and hopefully you have computers, etc. People like that do not deserve for us to work for them. Everyone should stop typing immediately and get a real job. Let her figure out how to get the work done in turn. Maybe you could turn your friends on to her clients and they could offer their services at a discounted price. I hope the witch goes to the poor house herself. She is like a black eye on the transcription business. Keep in touch and let us know how you are making out.
You need a LAWYER ! - nm

go see a lawyer NOW sm
I wouldn't wait any longer. When did you give her this ultimatum? Today is Wednesday. I would see a lawyer ASAP or call the police and file charges against her NOW. IMO. Like others said that's giving her time to file bankruptcy. I doubt that she has $16,000. Writing bad checks is a crime. I live in Ohio and we just had an ex-football player convicted of writing a bad check for a car and that was just for $13,000.
Did you get lawyer to do this?
Questions: Similar predicament. Did you go to small claims court?
Did you secure services of a lawyer? How did you do it? Good for you, you go girl!
No lawyer. sm
Did it myself, as they lived in my area. Court personnel were very helpful.
lawyer?
You might want to ask a lawyer about that - someone who specializes in business law. Many will talk to you for a half hour or so as part of their probono work. The definition of a business license is that you own and operate a business - if you are working IC then you are NOT an owner, you are working for someone just not as an employee of theirs. The phrasing gets confusing which is why I suggest you talk to a lawyer. You can probably stop spending all that money on licenses!
Someone else mentioned an IC license, my state does not require one but some do so the laywer can point that to you as well. Technically you are an employee, just like that person at wal-mart who is stocking the shelves - the difference is you don't pay taxes out of your check, you pay them in one lump at the end of the year. The IRS doesn't like to wait until the end of the year so they try to scare you into doing what they want - buy a business license and spend more money than you need to.
I'm not saying you are wrong, the laws may be different where you are, but I would make an appoitment with a lawyer and find out what the law says - it may be the best spent 30 minutes of your career :)
I agree with getting a lawyer...
...if those were indeed his words that they were letting you go because of "your age" that is BLATANTLY age discrimination. I believe the last time I checked that was not legal. Hey, maybe someday you would OWN THEM! 
re: lawyer woes
He can in fact charge you for the phone calls (consult) about the car, but not the service he failed to perform regarding this.
As far as the car title goes, he can request in the divorce that your husband sign it over to you (possibly arguing that you paid for it, etc.), but I don't think unless a judge orders it, your ex has to even sign it over, unfortunately. In my case, the car wasn't yet paid for and was in my husband's name. He suggested that we go and get the title/loan transferred into my name if this is what we agreed on. Technically speaking, however, the loan was in his name and if he so chose, he could have taken the car. That's why I say a judge has to be the one to order the transfer should the ex refuse.
I'd definitely confront the lawyer and ask him why the charges when he failed to even act on your request. That's bull**** in my opinion. I'm quite sure he's made a good deal of money off this already. Good luck.
Complaint? What about a lawyer?
But why do you need a sample of a complaint? Write a letter explaining the details and mail it to the administrators of the hospital and copy it to the same people at the headquarter address (CEO). Ask for a response and mail it certified with a receipt requested.
Does anyone know a good lawyer?
I am faced with my clients demanding I use the "AAMT" line count which is characters divided by 65. This cuts my income by 33% from my usual gross line. They came right out and said AAMT line. Even though AAMt has disavowed this, they put the seed in the minds of the powers that be and I want compensation from those who did me wrong. Please let me know if anyone knows of a good lawyer. TIA.
Actually, with a good lawyer one
that they are working for from home, whether employee or IC. There is an option on your homeowner's insurance (? all companies or some) that would cover you for injury incurred while working at home. They probably just want to eliminate the possibility of being sued. You can't obtain workers comp insurance in the sense you're thinking though if you don't have employees to cover. You can carry a personal policy that would eliminate their responsibility. I've never run across it though when working IC. I am covered though by my homeowners for such.
Call a lawyer ASAP!!
You can get advice from an attorney free for the first consultation--just make sure attorney specializes in land purchases and sales so you're given good info. You also need to go to your court house or whereever your land deed is recorded and find out what is required by the court for a legal sale of that land, get copies of everything pertaining to it, check on the taxes to make sure they are all paid or not. Lawyers do take payment plans. Don't wait on this one--if you don't want to be homeless. When it comes to greed and some families, they could treat you worse than strangers. You don't pay your house payment to them, do you? What could happen is if this is a majority party contract--meaning only a certain number of owners are required for the sale to go through--that would be on your note, they could then charge you land rent--an exorbitant amount--to make you move, so see a lawyer ASAP and take all documentation with you. Everything.
Good Luck. I am really sorry this is happening to you.
For heaven's sake, where is your lawyer?
Your divorce is final in 2 weeks, and you're asking this super important question to MTs on a message board? PLEASE ask your lawyer.
Crooked lawyer question
I need some thoughts as to what to do with this, if anything. I filed for divorce this January....or so I thought. I paid my lawyer (who might I first say is reputable in this town) the money and was expecting him to get the ball rolling. In March or April or so, I get papers from my ex-husband, saying HE's sueing ME for divorce. So, I call up my lawyer and ask why I hadn't filed first. He'd apparently set the case aside and forgot about me, and those were almost his exact words. So, I let that drop because I needed someone to represent me. When I first filed the papers, I MADE SURE I told him I wanted my ex's name off the car title, because he likes to take the title down to the pawn shop. So, I mentioned that then, then I was worried about it again sometime over the course of these months and called to rediscuss it with him, then, right before the hearing, I made sure that he remembered about it. Fine, no problem. This took place in July. Since I still hadn't gotten a divorce decree, I took myself down to the courthouse and had to purchase myself a copy (yet another thing the lawyer didn't do), and lo and behold, the car isn't listed. I know as a fact we discussed this, because each time, I had to go out and get the VIN # off the car. I can't get his name off without it being in the decree or having him sign off, which he won't do.
I checked BBB, and the company isn't on there, but neither can I find any of the attorneys in my hometown. Like I said, he's very well known around town, and it's a small town, so you know just about everybody. I had to take out a loan to get the divorce going in the first place and while I think I'd like to ask for my money back and deserve it, I know I won't get it.
Anybody have any ideas? Should I report him to SOMEONE? Should I keep pestering him until I have what I want? Or should I just forget it and move on?
You should have your retainer refunded and get a new lawyer. nm

Lawyer tells you how to outsource
Please don't send this to the gab board as this pertains to US, the US MQ employees:
Either contact a lawyer or, if meets
criteria, file in Small Claims Court.
Don't you think a lawyer would be calling you??? Sounds like a scam!!!

Medical Malpractice lawyer work
I've read here before about some MTs who work for RNs transcribing their notes for medical malpractice lawyers, particularly in So Cal. If anyone out there can give me more info such as need, what to charge, how to find, etc, I would be so grateful---I'm an MT/editor/quality auditor with 10 years' experience needing to make more money out of my skills.
Thanks!
You don't have to hire a lawyer. Write the letter yourself, but
make sure you send it "return receipt requested" and give a specific date payment needs to be received by.
My brother is suing me for the costs of the lawyer.. Unbelievable..nm

Anybody hired a lawyer to get money owed from MTSO?
I have given MTSO 7 days to finally pay an old invoice but still nothing. Has anybody ever hired a lawyer to write a demand letter and how much did it cost? I believe I have to send demand letter before filing in small claims. The invoice is for just over $200 so don't want to spend a lot of money and be out even more $$.
thanks.
Might need to mail her a letter from a lawyer that requires a signature and take some action. nm

Do u think a lawyer or accountant or doc has "QA" person - nope, if they screw up... they scr
As an MT, we know what our job is period. WE produce a report at 98% quality or better. This should be done without QA as we should take pride in our work and make sure it is correct. Of course, then again, we are "tested" for a job. Other professionals are not. I refuse to be. If a company mentions a "test" that is a big turn off for me.
Bottom line - know what you are doing and complete an accurate report (within 98% for human error rate which we all have) or learn another field... not a hard concept
