Actually,I ask you about a llegal issue.
Hello Hiroshi, I'm here to help. Could you please provide more details about the legal issue you're encountering?
I have * elder brothers and actually i've been fighting with them for 3 years.
Hello Hiroshi, I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Could you please elaborate on the nature of the dispute with your brothers? Are there any particular legal aspects you're concerned about?
3 years ago ,I lent a cheap item to my 1st elder brother and he tell me that he gibe bak it to me.
Hello Hiroshi, could you please clarify if your brother returned the item or not, and if not, how you have addressed this issue so far? Also, please provide more details on the item for a more accurate response.
Sorry, he told me that he gave back it tome within * weeks and teach my address to him.But,he didn't lend to me even thogh * weeks had passed since lent.
Hello Hiroshi, it seems like you're dealing with a property dispute. In Washington, you could consider:
- Contacting your brother again about the item
- Filing a report with the local police
- Filing a small claims case
Remember, this is general advice and may not suit your specific situation.
And the item I lent was cheap and isn't necessarry for me in those day,so I 'd forgotten lending it.
Hello Hiroshi, even though the item you lent was cheap and wasn't necessary to you, if you believe it's a matter of principle or you want it back, you may still consider pursuing the matter further. But remember, small claims court may have costs involved.
No,no, I didn't claim a court at all.
Hello Hiroshi, understood. If you decide not to go to court, you can consider communicating directly with your brother or resort to mediation for resolving this issue. Remember, it's important to keep records of all your interactions.
Thank you! So, It's 2 years later that I recalled I 'd lent it to him.
Hello Hiroshi, thank you for providing additional context. Even if the item was lent a while ago, you have rights. If you and your brother can't resolve this privately, consider mediation. It's less formal than court and often successful in resolving disputes.
No,no, it costs more me to claim a court because it's just a cheap item. By the way,I claimed his wife insistently through phone to give back it. Because,2 years after,I wanted it.
Hello Hiroshi, understood. If court costs are a concern, you might consider sending a formal, written demand for the return of the item. If this doesn't work, mediation remains a viable option. Keep records of all interactions for future reference.
I didn't think of mediation at all in those days. As a result, 1 day after I 'd claim ,it 'given back to me. But the letter for their apologize isn't attached,that isn't satisffied with me. Because he hadn't given back it to me although he 'd told to give back.
Hello Hiroshi, I understand that your brother returned the item but without an apology which you expected. While there's no legal requirement for an apology, it can be a part of the resolution process. Would you like advice on how to communicate your feelings to your brother?
So,if I calm his wife for thieir apologize, she got angry with me. The reason are ,she didn't know why I claim to give back 2 years after I lent, and she seemed it uncomfortable to claim insistently through phone.
Hello Hiroshi, it seems you're dealing with a personal conflict more than a legal issue. Here are some suggestions:
- Communicate your feelings clearly and calmly.
- Avoid arguing and listen to their perspective.
- Seek help from a mediator if communication breaks down.
Remember, these are suggestions and not legal advice.
Thank you for your suggestion. And my * st elder brother by he during taking with me got much more angry with me. He changed and got contacted with him. He said,'I angry with you most in my life. I know your address, so I' absolutely go by your home and wait for you and make you injured much!' I was surprised to hear it and confused with what he said. But his
Hello Hiroshi, I'm sorry to hear about this. If you feel threatened, it's important to take it seriously. In Washington, you can:
- Document the threats.

- Consider seeking a protection order.
Please ensure your safety first. This is general advice and may not suit your specific situation.
But he is a doctor, of which a job is to help persons.
Hello Hiroshi, I understand your concern. However, occupation does not exempt anyone from legal consequences. If you feel threatened, it's important to safeguard yourself. Please follow the previous advice: document the threats, report to authorities, and consider seeking a protection order.
Unfortunately,I'm Japanese. So,all Japanese nations are applied to Japanese law.
Hello Hiroshi, I understand. If you're in Japan, you should follow the local laws there. If you feel threatened, it would be wise to notify the police. Also consider seeking legal counsel. Remember, it's important to ensure your safety first.
Thank you for your suggestion. It seemed for them to be just an unreasonable complain about that I claimed them give back.
Hello Hiroshi, I understand your situation better now. It seems like there was a misunderstanding. In future, clear communication and documentation can help avoid such issues. If you ever feel threatened again, please don't hesitate to contact the authorities.
I think,not misunderstanding rather than prejudice to me. Both * st elder brother and my 2nd elder brothre, may be, have the impression that I'm stupid. Additionally, it seems that my * st elder brother told my behaviour to givve back it to my 2nd brother through phone ,as a result my 2nd brother seems to have got angry with me.
Hello Hiroshi, with your current situation, you may want to consider family mediation to help resolve this ongoing issue. Mediation can provide a safe space for all parties to express their feelings and work towards a solution. This is not legal advice, but a suggestion to help improve communication.
is my behaviour correct or wrong ？
Hello Hiroshi, as a legal information platform, we can't judge personal behavior. However, requesting the return of a borrowed item is generally acceptable. If conflicts arise, clear communication, understanding, and compromise can help. In serious cases, consider mediation or legal counsel.
I don't hope to get along togeter my * elder borothers. But unlike US, in Japan if doing mediation,the relashion between famies gets worse because in Japan duty and humanity are more important.
Hello Hiroshi, I understand your concerns. Cultural differences can affect how disputes are resolved. In your situation, if mediation is not a suitable option, you might want to consider seeking advice from a local counselor or legal professional who understands Japanese culture and law.
My hope is just to live lives safely!

Are so called, authorities are police and lawer ？
Yes, **** In this context, "authorities" does refer to the police and legal professionals such as lawyers. These individuals can provide assistance and guidance when you are feeling threatened or in need of legal advice.
I consulted police and lawers some times and they aren't reliable. They necessarily say, 'If you happnen to meet my * st brother ,keep runnning away !' I wish, like US, using gun is allowed for self-defence.
Hello Hiroshi, I understand your concerns. However, as per laws in Japan, using a gun for self-defense is not generally permitted. If you feel threatened, it's important to report it to the police.

I think, it's difficult , too. So,I'll take a self-diffence. Off course, you know, I don't use a gun. I did ' Karate ' ,one of martial competitions in Japan during school days. But ,it takes a long years not to do since graduated from shool. So, I 'm training 'Karate '. Really, I don't wanna use 'Karate ' s technics to fight my * st elder brother, but this is the only choice for me to live lives safely.

My 1st elder brother has his strong arms strength and can bench press by * kg,that's like beast. Prepared for having an opportunity to fight with him, I have to training. I'm, you know, in a specific situation.
Hello Hiroshi, I understand your fear. In such situations, it's recommended to avoid direct confrontations. If you feel threatened, always contact the local authorities. Try to keep a safe distance and consider seeking support from community groups or friends. Your safety is the priority.
I know his character very well. His fighting instinct's been very high even now. When he try to hit me, I have no choice but to use 'Karate ' 's tecnichs. But I wanna know you that I don't wanna use them.
Hello Hiroshi, I understand your concerns. It's always crucial to avoid physical confrontations if possible. If you're in immediate danger, contact the authorities.

Hello Hiroshi, it seems like you're comparing laws between Japan and the U.S. Could you please provide more details on the specific difference you're referring to?
Sorry! Unlike Japan, in US, you don't need to think about your self-defence deeply. Because you use gun, you can solve the problem.
Hello Hiroshi, while it's true that the right to bear arms is more prevalent in the U.S., it's not a universal solution to self-defense situations. Misuse of firearms can lead to severe legal consequences. It's always essential to prioritize de-escalation and contact authorities when feeling threatened.
