Alpine asked:

The owner at a pawn shop called my dad and said he some guy came in her selling some tools and I heard rumers that he stole them from you will you come down here and see if there yours so he did and it was his tools worth a few hundred dollars or more so my dad called the police and they showed up there and he got a court date and he ran to another state and the polce caught him, arrested him and put him in jail and took him back here till his court date which makes me think he could of been on probation when he was caught this time because he does have a history of drug use but for someone to run outta state over a few hundred dollars worth of stolen things is a little much.. but what do you think will happen to him in court if he wasn’t on probation and if he was?
He got arrested outta state by the way, guessing cause he ran which could that make things worse?

What are our options in ref to injured on the job?

Janelli asked:


My boyfriend was injured on the job on Tuesday. His boss (the sub-contractor) doesn’t have workers compensation and isn’t licensed by the state of Florida to do the type of work they do (construction such as Drywall, Finish and etc.) My boyfriend injured himself from falling off some stilts and ended up fracturing his left wrist and right elbow. He tripped on some gardening tools that belong to the homeowners. The subcontractor that my bf is working for is undocumented as well as my bf. What are my boyfriend’s rights?
He has to see an orthopedic, but can’t afford it. He will need a cast on both arms and won’t be able to work for at least a month. What can we do legally?

Will a judgment against an LLC affect corp officer’s credit? Available legal options?

John Doe asked:


Briefly, I’m suing my homebuilder for breach of contract on a new construction home. He refused to honor my state’s minimum warranty for workmanship and I had to pay 3rd party contractors to complete warranty items. He & his wife are sole employees/officers; I consider them dishonest. He is the Registered Agent and is named in the lawsuit. Let’s assume for my questions below that I get a judgment against the LLC, reimbursing me for my out of pocket repair & court costs.

Questions:

- I understand a person’s credit gets hit hard if they get a judgment against them. If I am successful in getting a small claims court judgment against an LLC, will any of the officers get their CREDIT dinged for it?

- What negative affects (if any) does an officer of an LLC experience if they are named in a suit and lose? (Again, wife & husband only employees/officers.)

- Does the corporate credit/name get impacted (via their tax ID)?

- What are some of the legal tools available to me assuming I win? For instance, I think I can get a writ that would allow me to pull $$ out of his business account if he refuses to pay. I know I could garnish his wages (if he pulled a salary which I doubt he’s doing in today’s economy). I think I can force the sale of some corporate assets, but I’m not sure. That’s what I’m looking for. Advice?

- Isn’t there some sort of court ordered discovery process that’s available to me to check his financials?

+++++++++++

One last thing. What if one of the officers retaliates and slanders me to my employer in retaliation for the lawsuit? Basically, he was served last week and since left me a voicemail saying if I don’t drop the case, he’ll tell my employer that I illegally obtained some personal documents of his from the mortgage transaction. (I work in the mortgage industry but the allegation is 100% untrue.)

Would the courts look at the timing of his allegation and inclusion of my employer as an act of intimidation? Or slander? Or is that too hard to prove these because you can’t get in his mind of whether he thought it was true or not (despite that he’s spreading false claims to my employer).

Do I save this for civil court after small claims? Do I ignore the intimidation and only respond if he actually contacts my employer? If I end up suing him for slander, can I sue the individual instead of the LLC since I assume he’d be acting outside the capacity of a corporate officer? I know he has assets and I’d love to slap a lien on his home.

Thanks in advance…

Went through TRCC SIRP – many confirmed warranty defects that he refused to repair. Even ombudsman said he was difficult and uncooperative
http://www.trcc.state.tx.us/Who_We_Are/default.asp
For clarification on who I sued, it was:

Acme Builder, LLC by serving Jane Doe, Registered Agent

Is this considered naming him in the lawsuit? I want the judgment against him mostly.
