Fred Head asked:

My Sister has worked 7 years for a bank at a major theme park in Florida. Through that time she has developed severe carpel tunnel. Workmans comp would not pay for the surgury her doctor says she needs, so she has filed a law suit.

Recently, her boss came to her “as a friend” and asked her to drop the law suit, otherwise the company might fire her.

What are my sisters rights in this situation? Any helpful suggestions?

I have to write a paper on a legal issue of a business and how they can fix it and i want to write about a company that is in trouble for animal cruelty but i dont know of any companies that actually have lawsuits against them. I know petsmart/petco animal suppliers have been in the news but i dont think there is an actual law suit against them.

Keith_dude asked:

I am being sued by a junk debt collector. I discovered that they no longer have a certificate to do business in my state (although they have a collection agency license). One of the qualifications for getting a license is a certificate, but I discovered that they withdrew their certificate six months after they got the license. Renewing your license requires this same certificate. Are they still eligible to file a law suit?

What kind of attorney is needed for possible law suit for failed business venture?

Jane R asked:

We’re in California:

a friend of mine rec’d an email with an invoice for $17,500 from a former boss.

In the email, he states that my friend agreed verbally to 50/50 on the business and because business failed, this is her portion of the bill. My friend says she never agreed to 50/50 and never signed any documents confirming that. This business venture lasted 6 months and she worked for him. While working for him, he told her to invest in the business and she would have to supply her own…supplies, which she did and she was never paid a salary. When venture closed, he returned her minimal investment and he called it even.

So, what kind of attorney is needed? There also might be visa issues. I’m not familiar with visas but her visa status is the one where you can’t work or don’t work. Because she was working “under the table”, former boss has basically threatened to call Immigration if she doesn’t pay the invoice.

So, who should we call first? Thanks!
