- Q. Can the property manager charge me $500 more to move in when it's not on the welcome letter or outlined in signed lease?
- A: You seem to have answered your question yourself. You are basically asking if the other party to your contract (the overall deal you made) can add a charge that you did not agree to, for no reason. Of course not. I suggest you give the landlord your written itemized figures and ask if you're missing anything, and if the answer is yes, ask the landlord to provide you with their written itemized figures.

- Q. I left an honest negative review online of a business and when my wife went in the owner threatened her. Is this legal?
- A: You do have freedom of speech, and if the business is private (not governmental or connected to the government), the business has the right to deny service to anyone it wants to, except that it cannot discriminate on the basis of one of the "protected classes" under the law, such as race, color, national origin, sex, age, religion, and disability. As long as it does not engage in unlawful discrimination, it can deny service to anyone it doesn't like, for any reason.

- Q. My case was dismissed without prejudice due to my lawyer, not responding to a judges request. Can I still reopen?
- A: I agree with Mr. Arrasmith. A dismissal without prejudice is NOT a "permanent" dismissal in the sense of being permanently barred from re-filing your case, unless the statute of limitations period has already expired. Also, in the event your claim would be permanently barred due to legal malpractice, the malpractice cannot be a basis to re-file the same claim. Focus right now on promptly consulting an attorney to determine if you can re-file, and request a copy of your first attorney's entire file.
