Question

I purchased a counterfeit item that was sold to me as legitimate. I contacted the seller after I discovered it was counterfeit. He has said he would return my money. That was over two weeks ago. He now will not return phone calls. I have his name and DL number.

What legal action can I take? Can I file and arrest warrant? Thanks for your help.

Answer

You haven't told us what it was, how much it was worth, why you think it's fake, the method of payment, etc, all of which are necessary for an answer. This is probably NOT a criminal matter. Your remedy, depending on the things you chose to omit, could be a small claims lawsuit in magistrate court, hiring a lawyer, doing a credit card chargeback, making a claim on a site like eBay if it was bought there, etc. Not all of those will be your remedy but one may be, should you chose to give details. Some of your remedies have very short time periods.

Question

We are selling land and the person is going to make a down payment, monthly interest payments and then in 7 months will make the final balloon payment. Should I have some legal jargon in place so he doesn't default or do you think the vacant land real estate sale agreement is enough between the seller and buyer?

Answer

If the loan isn't going through a bank, you need to talk with your own attorney before agreeing to a seller finance deal. The "legal jargon" you refer to is what will make it possible to foreclose or declare forfeiture of the contract (depending on how you set this up). Even trustworthy responsible buyers run out of money and purchasers default on loans. This is why there is an entire lending and legal industry set up to deal with such contingencies. Go talk to a real estate attorney, or better yet, get a bank involved with the loan.

Question

divorce paper reads: husband shall be entitled to claim child A as a dependent on his income tax returns. wife shall each be entitled to claim child B as a dependent on her income tax returns. upon one child remaining, husband shall have the right to readdress the issue of the tax dependency exemptions. Q: can he just announce that he is claiming child B for 2014 tax return??? He should have claimed child A on his 2013 return, this would have been the last year he could claim child A.

Answer

Your post and 'quote' is not entirely clear and an attorney assisting you will want to review the divorce decree. Despite the ambiguities, the wording your present seems to be somewhat straightforward.

Question

Is it legal if you are pulled over because a sheriff ran a parked vehicle license plate in a parking lot and the registered owner popped up as having a warrant and they waited until someone came out of the store who fit the description of the registered owner and upon finding out that they were the registered owner pull them over,arrest them for that warrant without reading them their rights?

Answer

I don't see anything illegal about this. Police are allowed to run the plates of a parked car, even without probable cause. They're also allowed to arrest people who have outstanding warrants.

Arrests are valid whether or not the police read the suspect his Miranda rights. If they fail to do so and then question him while he's in custody, then his answers usually can't be used against him in court. So if the officers didn't question you while you were in custody, then there's no problem. Even if they did, the prosecutors might be able to prove their case against you based on other evidence.

You should get a lawyer right away. If you can't afford a lawyer, the court will appoint one for you.

Good luck.
