Legal Answers
- Q. Can a gas station legally ban me after I received a counterfeit bill from them and did nothing wrong?
- A: What they're doing is immoral, but probably not unlawful. A private business can refuse to serve anyone for any reason or nor reason, unless that refusal to violates laws prohibiting discrimination (such as discrimination based on race, sex, age, religion, national origin, disability, etc.). However, if I were you, I'd speak to governmental authorities that permit the business to operate to see if they'd be willing to pressure the business owner about the issue. The authorities might not care, but it doesn't hurt to try. At city hall, there'd be an office requiring the business to obtain a Local Business Tax Receipt annually. On the State level. the Fla.

- Q. What are my options after a car accident settlement was overturned?

If you are charged, or even if the police wish to make further contact with you, immediately schedule a legal consultation.
