- Q. Seeking compensation from pipeline company for septic system damage and increased costs.
- A: Good Morning:
It is rather difficult to answer your question without know what the provisions are contained in your lease. The issue is who is paying the ongoing costs, you or the tenant. The individual paying the costs is the proper party to sue.

- Q. Options for exiting a timeshare in Daytona Beach after 3 years of construction due to storm damage.
- A: It is impossible to answer your question without reviewing the contract. As a general rule, impossibility of performance
is grounds for terminating a contract.
MGF, Esquire
- Q. Can my son be charged with drugs and guns found in a car when they were not his?
- A: The Police charged your son based upon the statements of the driver, and because your son ran away . All of the factors you mentioned are valid issues that can be raised in a suppression hearing, and at trial. You did not mention where this occurred. You need to retain a lawyer.
