Most states will give birth certs to the person who's name is on the cert, the parent of that person, a grandparent or grandchild, and the persons children without written permission from the person whos name is on the birth cert.  Check the laws in your area by typing in county recorder for your county and checking the their site.  Also, get all info regarding what this person did with your birth cert and talk to a lawyer.  The lawyer in your area will know what your chances are of winning better than anyone here.  Good Luck.

You really should be talking to a lawyer.  Sounds like you might have a case but only a lawyer can say for sure.

call labour relations (That's what it is called in Canada) and explain your situation, they will take care of it for free and make sure that they don't screw someone else around next time.  Also make sure that you have all of the paperwork to back up your side of the story, dates, times worked and anuthing else that might come up.  That way you will have the best case possible.  If you win he could also be fined, so even calling him and making that threat could be efective enough.  If he has done this before and been investigated, it could cause him alot of trouble that he won't want.

you can put what ever you want on your claim.  phone charges, loss of wage, whatever.  if you win, its up to the judge what is granted or not. he could grant a partial ammount of your claim. if i were to guess i would say, that he wouldn't grant you the loss of wages.  however, you may try and claim the filing fee.

I think you screwed yourself.\n\nYou can file a post-conviction appeal if you have the grounds for one (such as incorrect application of the law during sentencing) but I wouldn't hold out much hope for your winning it.

You can give it a shot, but chances are it won't speed up the process.  I work for U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and I get people who call me once a week asking about the status of their case.  Repeated phone calls or letters won't make me put their case in front of anyone else's.  The rule is first-in-first-out.  It's going to take some time, so the best advice I can give you is to be patient and realize most Federal workers have huge backlogs in their workload.

Take your loss adn move on. Whatever your suing for will cost you more money in small claims court than you can get out of a company that went bankrupt. sorry

Definitely get a lawyer, take it to a tribunal.\nYou could win millions, I'll have a cut of that if you don't mind...\nIf not- then ten points'll do ;) !

I think you first must try to resolve the matter directly with the restaurant before you can pursue suing them.  Most businesses would be responsive and would pay your medical bills, maybe a little more.  But in order to sue, your injury must have been significant, or no lawyer would take the case on a contingency basis (for about 1/3 of your award.)  If you sued via paying the lawyer an hourly rate, you would be chancing losing that amount of money.

yes it is possible they can win that case because you signed the contract. It is known as a covenant not to compete contract.Sorry

possibly\nyou need to hire a attorney contingent on the facts- \nif the lawyer feels a lawsuit is warranted they will take the case\n\nIt will take 3+ years to go to any form of litigation and the attorney will take as payment 1/3rd of the settlement minus the court, deposition fees, copying fees..etc\n\n\nGood Luck

It depends on what state you are in and how aggressive the opposing lawyer is towards you.  You'll probably get probation and community service.  If you're unlucky you might get a nice fine and even a jail sentence.

You have to win the case first.  Then you MIGHT have claim for abuse of process and malicious prosecution.  These types of cases are VERY hard to prove and looked down upon by the courts.  You should consult an attorney familiar with the laws of your state on these issues.

there is a chance, but you messed up pretty bad. i got a pardon for theft. and it was a pretty big pardon also, it took them awhile to decide. so you might have a chance.

Well - you have to ask yourself - is it worth going to court for. Depending on how much money it is, you can either go to small claims or go for a civil suit. I'm nearly 100% sure that you can probably get them to settle but you need some type of documented paperwork. In a civil suit - its beyond a preponderance - so - as long as your evidence provides at least 50% - its not beyond a reasonable doubt. Again - i'd need to know more about the case - but in general - you need the paper work documenting what they said - otherwise it becomes a game of he said she said.
