1-YEAR WINDOW TO FILE TIME-BARRED SEX ABUSE CLAIMS BEGINS TODAY, 8/14/19 The New York Child Victims Act (CVA) allows a person who was sexually abused while under age 18 until their 55th birthday to file a civil sexual abuse claim, and eliminates the 90-day notice requirement for claims against municipal defendants. The CVA provides victims of child sex abuse 5 extra years to press criminal charges- until age 28 for a felony, and age 25 for a misdemeanor. The CVA also gives... people with sex abuse claims that are barred by the statute of limitations a one-year window- from August 14, 2019 through August 13, 2020- to sue their abuser, no matter how long ago the abuse occurred- or be forever time-barred from suing on those claims. If you or someone you know was sexually abused as a minor or as an adult in the workplace or school setting- either recently or long ago- call me at 516-724-0314 or email me at [email protected], and check out my website, www.neviaslaw.com. I have won six figure settlements on sex abuse cases without need of a trial or even a deposition. How is that possible? A skilled, tough, compassionate lawyer can help you get closure- and the compensation you deserve- from the only people more terrified of trial than you are: the sex abuser who faces the prospect of evisceration-by-cross-examination by me in open court, and the corporate defendant whose reputation and good will (and therefore financial viability) are on the line. If you have a good case, they will pay good money to end the nightmare before it begins. Call today- you have a limited amount of time to take legal action.

No, there is no new massive Facebook page cloning scam. However, someone DID create a fake page for my law office. No, I do not work at the office of Jaspreet Singh and I don’t even know who that is. (But I may hunt him down...) So please don’t accept any new friend requests from me, but also please stop forwarding those messages. Write to the person PERSONALLY if you actually received a duplicate friend request! I almost ignored this because it came up as fake on Snopes & other sources. It’s easy to check- just do a search on your name and if a fake profile comes up, report it.

Sometimes I respond to anonymous legal inquiries on lawyers.com. This one, a question about child custody, was too good to not share. The writer inquired: A loved one of mine needs answers. He's expecting a child with a woman who is troublesome, she's left the state and provokes with harassing calls. Much of her support was from him, he wants custody as she is without a stable home or income and shows a strong need for mental and emotional help. My response:... So let me understand this. Your "loved one", who is about to be a father, feels that the best plan to deal with his pregnant, "troublesome" (i.e., financially and emotionally needy) baby mama is to take her newborn baby away from her, to another state? Um, no. Hell no. Unless his baby mama is a criminal, drug addict or insane, none of which seems to be the case here, not a judge on the planet would give dad custody. What SHOULD the expecting father do? Give his baby mama money to get set up in the "stable home" his child needs. And since he has such a strong desire to be an involved dad, perhaps he should find a job in the state where his child lives, and move there. And of course, dad must pay child support. It's the law. If baby mama has any sense, she'll sue dad for child support as soon as she and baby are released from the hospital. Under New York law, an out-of-state child support order is enforced the same as a New York support order- with a direct deduction from dad's paycheck, in an amount based on his income. While paying support is mandatory for dad, visitation is something he will need to fight for in court, by filing a petition for visitation in mom's state. If dad is smart, he will stay out of court by sending mom child support BEFORE his wages are garnished, and setting up a visitation schedule with mom as soon as the child is born. Good luck to the expecting parents- and especially the baby.

(My website is .....UP AND RUNNING! Check it out: www.neviaslaw.com) Do you have a complicated legal problem that is just a mess?? "Big Messes Are My Specialty... We’ve all heard of this scenario. An elderly person passes away. One of the adult children took on the majority of the care for the parent, was perhaps living in the house, maybe managing their money. The funeral is barely over, and the accusations begin. The will left everything to the caretaker child- and was changed shortly before the parent died. Or maybe there is no will. Maybe the mortgage hasn't been paid, and a foreclosure is proceeding. Often the house is left to all the children equally and must be sold, but the person living there will not leave. Perhaps there is a trust, and a beneficiary wants an accounting. What a big mess. Time to go online and find a landlord-tenant attorney who can start an eviction, and a foreclosure defense lawyer, and a probate lawyer who also understands trusts and accountings, and a real estate attorney who can quickly draft a contract when you sell the house. Or you can hire one law firm that does it all- and for a reasonable fee. Call the Law Office of Lori Nevias. Big messes are my specialty. I take on cases that other attorneys run from, screaming. I resolve them in the quickest, most cost effective way possible, with high quality legal work. I am a Long Island real estate lawyer who practices all over New York, and also a trusts & estates attorney with over twenty years of experience. I can spot, sort out and handle what may seem like impossibly complicated cases to attorneys who are not litigators, or only practice in one area of law.

Did you know that New York has a lemon law for pets?? New York State's Pet Lemon Law is designed to ensure the humane treatment of dogs and cats by requiring pet dealers to guarantee the good health of an animal. The law protects consumers when a cat or dog is "unfit" for purchase, meaning when it has: - An illness, - A birth defect which makes the animal unhealthy; or - Symptoms of a contagious or infectious disease.... If your new pet is unfit for purchase, you are entitled to: - A refund, or - Reimbursement for veterinary expenses, or - A replacement animal. A pet dealer is: - A pet store or breeder who engages in the sale of more than nine dogs or cats a year for profit to the public. Dealers must post a notice of consumer rights clearly visible to customers, and also provide written notice of the same to the consumer. To qualify for a refund or a replacement animal, a consumer must obtain a veterinary certification that the animal is unfit within fourteen business days of the purchase, and return the pet to the seller within three business days of obtaining this certification. Consumers are also entitled to reimbursement of the cost of obtaining such certification. Call me for a FREE TELEPHONE CONSULTATION - or email- if you have a legal issue in this, or other areas of law. I have over 20 years of experience in negligence, accidents, real estate, trusts & estates and family law, practicing all over New York. 516-724-0314 [email protected] See more

Here it is, your LEGAL TIP OF THE WEEK! Let's say you have a sneaking suspicion somebody is a great big liar but there's no way to check out half the stuff you're told. Need a reality check? You can still verify some extremely important information with just a few clicks, freely and easily. All over the U.S., land records are increasingly being made easily accessible online, by searching the website of the clerk of the county where the property is located. A simple name search show deeds and mortgages, dates recorded, who is on the deed, amount paid for the property, and dates of transfer. Comes in handy when you're trying to collect judgments, too. Next week- do you need a will? Maybe yes, maybe no- let's find out!

SMART LEGAL TIP of the week! Buying a house? Congratulations, you need a lawyer! When you walk through that house before you sign the contract, make notes. Do you love that amazing, fancy stove? Those old-fashioned crystal doorknobs? Make sure they’re staying, and make sure the specific item is in your contract before you sign it. The agreed-upon purchase price should always be subject to an inspection by a licensed home inspector. If you’re buying an old house, you will b...e asked to sign a disclaimer regarding the presence of lead paint. Be sure you actually get a copy of that language. You are entitled by law to an inspection for lead paint. Sellers- confronted with a long list of small repair items, and stressing out about how you’re going to repair them in time for the sale? Consider offering a seller’s concession- a discount on the purchase price to give the buyer more cash on hand make the repairs themselves after the closing. The seller benefits by lower transfer taxes as well, since the taxes are calculated on the purchase price. Keep in mind that major repairs and /or items that are out of compliance with the local building codes (faulty electric, plumbing) may need to be repaired in order for the bank to give your buyer their loan. I have represented buyers and sellers of residential and commercial real property- houses, multi-family properties, co-ops and condominiums- for over twenty years, all over New York.
