QUESTIONS

  • can an employer fire you verbaly while on workmans comp and withhold the incident reports?
  • I was born in CA and started using my step-father's last name at approx. 8 years old. I never legally changed my last name but my military records, ssn, etc. all use my step-father's last name which I've used throughout my life. I'm now a resident of AZ. Can I legally change my name here to the name I'm already using for all forms of ID/records? I just want to ensure my birth cert matches all my other forms of ID. Thanks
  • My company instituted a tobacco free workplace and we need to go off company property to smoke or vape. Now they are sending security telling us we cannot smoke in front of other businesses on public property and on public reserve land by putting up extreme fire danger signs year round. Can they enforce where we smoke or vape when off of company grounds?
  • I HAVE A JUDGMENT AGAINST AN INDIVIDUAL AND I WANT TO GET AN ABSTRACT ISSUED TO RECORD AGAINST THE INDIVIDUALS PROPERTY IN ARIZONA. DO I NEED TO GET A SPECIAL ABSTRACT ISSUED OR CAN I USE THE CALIFORNIA ABSTRACT ISSUED?
  • I have resided in the same rental property for over a year. I was told I was renewed for another year. 3 months into the second year the landlord (owner/realtor) told me I have to buy the house or move. He wants twice what it is worth or I have to move. I know this is not legal as a tenant but does this also violate real estate laws? I would very much like to report him to proper authorities but to whom would I report such a thing?
  • When I apply for a job, should I tell them about my disability?
  • can I receive food stamps if I buy a car
  • I am owed back child support and I am being told I have to pay an overpayment of food stamps back.  Can they take it from child support?
  • I am trying to deliver a notification that I intend to garnish my evicted tenant's wages or bank account. He would not tell me his address, closed his bank account, does not have a car, and lost his job. How do I deliver the notification?
  • My child's mother did not put me on the birth certificate. I have had a hostile relationship with her and was forced to give 100% of my paycheck just to see my daughter the first 3 years, leaving me with no room to pay legal fees to establish paternity and support. She also has not filed for support. I have not been in contact with the mother in 3 years nor has she been in contact with me. At this point, I would like to sever my parental rights even though I am not legally established as the father so I can move on with my life. Is this possible?
