Q. Last 4 months water has been coming in thru ceiling 100 gallons a day when it rains. Can I sue landlord personal injury

March 21, 2023

A: It sounds as if you may have claims for reduced rent value, possibly mold damages as well. If desired, with written notice to the landlord, you may have rights to move to alternative housing at the landlord's expense above your rent. Consider reviewing everything with a landlord-tenant attorney.

Q. What can I do and where do I start? Is this legal?

March 20, 2023

A: With no question posed, there is nothing to respond to.

Q. I got arrested for drawing blood on the other person but fight for self defense can the other person get arrested

March 20, 2023

A: Yes, they CAN arrest him, regardless of the outcome of your situation, but it is highly unlikely. The police officers that responded at the time made the decision to arrest you and not him. They could have arrested him; they could have arrested you; they could have arrested both of you; they could have arrested neither of you. They made their determination and now they have to prove their case against you. But arresting you has little or nothing to do with arresting him and there is no reason to think the district attorney is now going to go back in time to try to second guess the police. They are far too busy with new cases to go try to "create" one out of the past. If you are exonerated, there's no reason for you to want him charged except for vengeance - and that is not a good reason for them to go after him.
