Re: which state laws apply?

This is a significant conflicts of law question which cannot be answered without knowing all of the facts of the case. In many instances these issues are subjects of in limine motions before judges, prior to the actual litigation.

In sum,you need to present the facts of this case to an attorney in your jurisdiction who can assist you with this matter.

Good Luck!
