If I receive merchandise in the mail that I did not order, do I have to pay for it?

Answer: If you want to keep it, then pay for it - but first get the company on the phone and question them as to why they sent it, what they normally charge for the item, whether they're willing to pay the return shipping expense (for your hassles in having to now send it back to them), etc. Your other options: read more: www.johncontini.com

You may seize this opportunity to negotiate a lesser price for the merchandise (rather than paying for its retail value), again assuming you still want to keep it; and in this scenario, if the company does not want to have it returned - or if they do not want to advance the shipping expense for the return, then they may allow for a significantly reduced price. If you don't want the item, then send them a certified letter informing them of your willingness to return the item that you never ordered, but only upon advance receipt of the return shipping expense.

Dear Lawyer, I did some hurtful things to my ex-girlfriend and now she has a restraining order against me. I want to send her an "I'm sorry" email now that I realize what a jerk I've been. Can I do this?

Answer: Quit being such a she-man! No, seriously, here's the right answer: Dear self-declared Jerk, absolutely not! Sending a letter or a Hallmark card, even a nice one - or even flowers with an apology note, violates your restraining order and is illegal; or having a friend call and apologize for you (as you may erroneously think that it's only you who cannot call her), is yet another violation of the "civil" restraining order, which disallows "any" contact, "direct or indirect." When you're arrested for the "crime" of "violation of restraining order," you will be taken to jail, booked, fingerprinted and photographed, and you cannot make bail until a $3,500 bond is posted on your behalf. And if you live with the "victim" or person who petitioned the court for the restraining order, you cannot go to your home to even get your clothes to go to work. You will need a separate hearing before the Judge to "modify the terms and conditions of the restraining order," to allow you to get your belongings.
