Will I have to go to court to do a loan modification?

A homeowner in California can attempt a loan modification on their own. But, there is nothing that the homeowner in California can do to force the lender to give them a loan modification unless they go to court and sue. That's the unfortunate reality of it is that the lenders a lot of times are not going be giving the loan modifications because they would rather try and foreclose. Someone in California who wants a loan modification, if they can't get it on their own, should go see a lawyer because a lawyer can enforce that right and sue and go to the court and ask the judge to order the loan modification. My name is Damien Nassiri, I'm a partner in the Law Firm Howard-Nassiri. We're based in Southern California, and we help people save their homes.

You may have to go to court for your predatory lending case. When you retain us as your attorneys, we like to get the matter settled short of going to trial, going to court, anything like that. But keep in mind when you hire an attorney, a good attorney, we prepare the case as if we're going to go to trial. To do anything less is to only prepare for half or part of the case. We prepare like we are taking your case, your matter, all the way to trial, but if we can settle it before, we certainly will. I'm Vincent Howard, Senior and Managing Partner of Howard/Nassiri. We work hard everyday representing the consumer from our headquarters in Orange County, California. If you need an attorney you can trust, go ahead and give us a call.

Will I have to go to court for my predatory lending case?

You may not have to go to court to get your predatory lending case resolved. A few go see a good attorney. A good attorney will be able to negotiate with the lender and hopefully get your loan modified or get your loan restructured, sooner rather than later. However, that same attorney will be ready to go and filed the lawsuit if the case calls for it. A lot of times, lenders will not respond to the attorney's request for a loan modification and in that case there's no choice but to file a lawsuit to get what you deserve under the law.

Do most car accident lawsuits settle of go to trial?

Well I think there's a paradox there. If you've got a skilled attorney that knows how to try a case, your case is more likely to settle. If you don't have a skilled attorney who doesn't know how to try a case, either the carrier is not going to pay you full value on the claim or its got to be tried and at that point that attorney might refer the case to another attorney who does try cases so that's a good thing to ask your attorney at the outset is "do you actually try cases?"

What is being done to remedy gas ripoffs from hot gas?

Right now there are several class actions in which the people who live in the hot states, the southern states, California, Arizona, Nevada, Florida, are all part of a class that is before the court and the court has combined all of those cases of the 28 hot states together. And the idea would be that therefore there'll be one trial with everybody represented in the hot states to try and stop this massive injustice. My name is Tom Gerardi.

Can I move with my kids out of state after a divorce in Arizona?

If you’ve been divorced in Arizona, you are permitted under the statutes to move with your minor children. However, you need to be very careful about how you’re going to proceed in asking the court to do so. There are strict requirements that have to be met, and the standard is clear and convincing evidence that it’s in the best interest of the children to do so. And therefore it is critical that you contact an attorney in order for that to be an effective petition to the court. My name is Mike Baker of the Baker Law Firm.

What happens to my debt after a bankruptcy?

In a chapter 7 bankruptcy most, if not all, of your debt can be discharged and is no longer forcible against you for all practical purposes until the end of time. In a chapter 13 bankruptcy, you present a plan to the court which provides how you will pay a portion or all of this debt over a period of up to five years.

Who best qualifies for a loan modification?

The person who best qualifies for a loan modification agreement in New York is somebody that is asking for a very slight change and who is capable of paying everything that they promise in the new agreement to pay. But that is not what people want who are facing a huge increase in the monthly payment. They want a huge decrease in the monthly payment. Somewhere between a small amount and a huge amount of decrease is where the negotiations lie. The bank may only be willing to reduce it by $750 a month and the borrower may want a $1,500 reduction per month, so if they can't reach an agreement then court will be the one, once the bank goes into court and you file an answer defending the foreclosure action, the bank is more apt to accept the more onerous agreement. I'm Carl Person. I'm a New York lawyer and my job is to help people stay in their homes.

Is it possible to create an agreement to avoid an order of protection in Arizona?

Fortunately in Arizona many courts will allow parties and counsel at an evidentiary hearing on an order of protection, to speak frankly and candidly before the order of protection hearing, to determine whether or not the parties are able to settle their differences outside of court. Luckily, my office has been party, or is counsel to many parties, working out these differences and becoming people who do not have a record of an order of protection. I feel great gratification when I can bring, or our office can assist, in bringing two people of very divergent opinions together to agree not to contact one another, but do it outside of the framework of a court order.

What is the Arizona divorce process?

In Arizona, the divorce process goes as follows. A petitioner would file a complaint with the Superior Court of Arizona. After filing that complaint, they would serve the respondent, or the other spouse, at which time that person would have 20 days to file a response to the petition for dissolution of marriage. If the person does not file a response, the parties can be divorced in 60 days pursuant to a default decree. If, however, the person files a response, the case will follow a normal trajectory in the Superior Court which could include a settlement conference, arbitration or in some cases, although not many, trial. My name is Mike Baker of the Baker Law Firm. We serve individuals and families all over Arizona in family law matters, including divorce, child custody, child support and parenting time matters.

What is an arbitration clause in an employment agreement?

An arbitration clause is a clause in an employment agreement, or often these days in an employee handbook that binds an employee to arbitrate their disputes, and prohibits them forever from filing a lawsuit in court. In some instances, the employee doesn't have a choice. If it's in the employee handbook, and you're asked to countersign handbook, you have created a contractual relationship with the employer, and you're bound by arbitration. If you're negotiating your own contract, you can perhaps negotiate the arbitration clause out of the contract. It's important because it limits your ability to go after your employer and you have to arbitrate your dispute, and you cannot file a lawsuit in court, and you cannot have a jury of your peers judge the facts of your case. You're giving up that right. It's a very important right in the United States. My name is Walker Harman. I'm the managing attorney of The Harman Firm. If you believe you've been the victim of illegal employment discrimination, we are eager to speak with you. Please give us a call.

Should I have an attorney at my probation violation hearing?

In Massachusetts, I would say you’re basically crazy if you don’t have an attorney represent you in a probation violation. As a matter of fact, very often, you have an absolute right to be represented and if you can’t afford an attorney you’re indigent and the court will assign you somebody. But, the fact is, even if that‘s not the case, and you don’t qualify for court-appointed counsel, you got to have an attorney that’s experienced in dealing with probation violation hearings. They’re they’re animals in and of themselves, different from other criminal cases. And, without that representation, you’re probably going on a voyage. I’m Sam Goldberg, lead counsel for criminal defense matters, at Altman and Altman in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I have twenty-five years of experience.

How long do medical malpractice lawsuits take?

The time from when the client walks into the door until the proceeds of the case are distributed is ordinarily between three and four years. It's a function of the availability of the court, the number of cases in the courts, the particular county where the action was brought and the complexity of the case - the amount of time that's necessary to do discovery, to find out all the elements of the case and to try them if the case needs to be tried.

Is there a penalty for refusing to take the field sobriety test in California?

In California, if you refuse to do those standardized field sobriety tests, realistically a police officer has very little information to use against you in a court scenario to try and get a conviction. You can refuse them, but realistically a police officer will only have your questions, the answers that your provide, and any physical observation that they make of you to determine whether or not you're under the influence. You can refuse those tests and if you do, a police officer may still arrest you. I'm Virgina Landry. For the last nineteen years in Orange County, I've helped when bad things happen to good people.

Can I refuse to take the breath test in California?

In California, if you refuse to take a breath test, the police officer, realistically, will arrest you. There are different consequences for the refusal to take a test, such as: if you are convicted in court, it's mandatory jail. If you refuse to take a test and the police officer believes you're under the influence of alcohol, that refusal ends up with a longer license loss than if you take a test and you are significantly over the legal limit.

What does intoxication technically mean in California?

Intoxication. That can mean anything the police officer wants it to mean. From a court perspective, a police officer wants to show that you have either some mental problem or a physical problem in being able to answer questions or to do field sobriety tests. Your ability to answer those questions and to do the field sobriety tests may have absolutely nothing at all to do with whether you're impaired to drive your car. I'm Virginia Landry.

Can I expunge a DUI conviction in California?

After you have successfully completed all of the probationary terms, in California you can request the judge to set aside that conviction as though it never happened. That's what we call an expungement. It's discretionary with the judge but as long as there as been no further criminal court cases, you have a high probability of having your conviction expunged. You still have to disclose that in an employment application depending among on how or what your work is. If you've been convicted and its been expunged, you can answer a question on an employment application that you've never been convicted of a crime. I'm Virgina Landry.

If a person owns investment property in New York and it's subject to a mortgage, the same principles of loan modification apply that if the bank and the owner agree to a change in the terms, which usually means a reduction in the monthly rate of payment. Yes, you can have a modification. It always requires the agreement unless you're in bankruptcy court, and then the bankruptcy judge can do certain things, but outside a bankruptcy, you need an agreement of the two parties.

Do I qualify to mount a mortgage foreclosure defense?

If a person is sued in a foreclosure action, they're invited by the summons that they receive to put in a defense. A defense will include various reasons why the bank should not win. Various things they've done wrong and the banks we now know have done many things wrong. Previously, like a year ago, the court probably wouldn't look at half of this. But now the courts are looking at it and we are aware that the banks do wrong in many cases. Some of these wrongs translate into defenses and a lawyer can help the person that sued to maintain those defenses. I'm Carl Person, a New York lawyer and a fighter to keep people in their homes.

Are lawsuits from car accidents on the rise in New York?

Car accident lawsuits are actually decreasing in New York state statically from the court administration statistics. And, that's probably a good thing, it means, because in the simple fender bender, there's less injuries because of restraint systems and air bags. However, if somebody is going fast, and they do sustain catastrophic injuries, more likely than not there needs to be a lawsuit for the individual injured in that accident to get fair compensation for the injuries sustained.

People who are arrested for drug crimes in Arizona have available options such as drug court, diversion program, probationary monitoring; jail is not the only available option for persons who have been arrested for drug crimes.

How is child support awarded in Arizona?

How long do restraining orders last in Massachusetts?

In Massachusetts, restraining orders are allowed after what's called a 209A hearing. The 209A hearing is really two tiered. First, the complainant comes by themselves, asks the judge for a temporary order - temporary restraining order - keeping the other party away because they're in fear. That's allowed for usually about a week. Then, the defense comes in and there's the second tier. If the defendant loses then, the restraining order that's allowed lasts for about a year.

Are pregnancy discrimination lawsuits common in California?

Pregnancy discrimination lawsuits are becoming more common in California. In part, this is because California has more expansive laws than federal law in regards to pregnancy discrimination in the workplace.

There are actually several statutes of limitations because a woman must first file a complaint with an administrative agency, either the Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or with the State Department of Fair Employment and Housing. After filing a complaint with either of these agencies, a woman may request an immediate right to sue and after she receives that right to sue, she has one year to file a complaint in court. My name is Sarah Schlehr of the Schlehr Law Firm. I work to protect California employees from discrimination and harassment in the workplace.

What's the #1 misconception about probate?

The number one misconception about probate is that people just have a complete lack of understanding of what it is. They get it confused with estate taxes. They think it's the same. They, they usually have a negative attitude towards it, which is probably justified. But they don't understand the process that's involved. They don't realize that forms have to be filed. That a court has to make sure that the is instructions of the testator or the client are carried out. So the number one misconception about a probate is really what is probate. How do I carry it out?

What are the advantages of going offshore with your assets?

The principle advantages of going offshore with your assets are you would avoid the jurisdiction of the United States courts. You place the assets offshore where the governments are stable and where the financial institutions are stable. You place them offshore and it makes it very difficult, if not impossible, for the United States court system to attach those assets.

Are car accident lawsuits common in Massachusetts?

"Many people who haven't been in car accidents think that if that happened to them, they're just going to call their insurance agent and that their car is going to be fixed, their medical bills are going to be paid, they're going to be paid for their time out of work, and they're going to be paid for the pain and suffering of this horrible experience that they've had. That's not the case. Insurance companies, they're in business to make a profit. They make a profit by paying as little as possible on your claim. The adjusters are trained to do this. Even with an experienced attorney involved, they still resist paying full value on claims. That's why many times these cases require being taken to court to hold the insurance company accountable to ensure that they pay full value for what happened to you. I'm attorney Tom Kiley, I've been representing the seriously injured, and their families, in Massachusetts for over three decades."

What is the breath test and how does it work in California?

In California, if you choose to take a breath test, you blow into a tube. That tube has air that goes through it and they take, sort of like, a snap shot of the air that is blown through the tube at any given time and they convert that to some alcohol reading that'll be used against you at the DMV and in court. The breath test monitors how many little molecules of alcohol you have in this chamber. It's not very scientific. There are ways to beat those breath testing cases, but you still are required to complete either a blood or a breath test. I'm Virginia Landry. For the last 19 years in Orange County, I've helped when bad things happen to good people. If you've been arrested for a DUI, please call.

Which test hurts my DUI defense the most in California?

The toughest test to beat in California is a blood test. However, here in Orange County, California, we win cases when the laboratory makes a mistake on the blood test. In Los Angeles County, we win cases where the police officers make mistakes. In each city, a police officer has an approved breath testing device, so if the machine is not calibrated correctly, if it's not used appropriately, whether it's a breath or a blood, we may be able to exclude those test results, and that makes the difference on your case in court.

What are the penalties for a minor convicted of a DUI in CA?

In California if you're convicted as a minor, someone who's under age 18 has different requirements from someone who's under age 21. If you're under age 18, you'll be required to lose your license for a longer period of time. You have a hospital program, a morgue program that you may have to attend, additional AA meetings. If you're between the ages of 16--you have a valid license, and 21--you have a license but you're still not legal to consume alcohol, there are different punishments that can occur. There are a variety of different alcohol levels for someone who's under age 21, both with the Department of Motor Vehicles and in court. I'm Virginia Landry.

Loan modification company or a loan modification attorney?

Loan modification companies a lot of times are the same mortgage brokers who put the bars, was in the bad loans in the first place. They're no longer writing mortgages so they flip over and become loan modification companies. And I've had lot of clients come to me and tell me Dave paid thousand of dollars to some loan modification company that didn't do anything to them. So that's the key difference is that, that even if they do something for you, all the modification company is ask for a new loan as long as a lawyer can demand it. If you can't get it, we'll go to court. My name is Damian Nasirri. I'm a partner in a law firm Howard Nassiri, we're based in Southern California and we help people save their homes.

When is it too late to mount a foreclosure defense?

When the property is sold as a result of a court order or when the property is sold in a non-judicial foreclosure, it's pretty much too late to initiate something. On the other hand, yesterday a matter came into me in which, even though the property is sold, we're going to try to undo the sale because the bank never served the owner of the property. And, as a result, the bank bought in and the bank still holds the property. And I think that we can undo the foreclosure because of the failure to serve the persons on the mortgage. I think we can undo it even after the sale has taken place. I'm Carl Person. I'm a New York lawyer. And my job is to help people stay in their homes.

Are lawsuits from motorcycle accidents common in New York?

Motorcycle accident lawsuits are a rarity just because of the...most vehicles on the road are not motorcycles. But when a motorcyclist is injured in an accident, more often then not, to get fair compensation, they are going to have to file a lawsuit because the insurance carrier or the person that is paying out on the claim, they think that the motorcyclist, just by virtue of the fact that they're on a motorcycle, signifies that they are at fault. Even though the motorcyclist did nothing wrong to cause the injuries that they sustained which may be catastrophic. So to get a fair shake, the motorcyclist has to go to court to get fair compensation for the injuries they sustained. I'm Mitchell Proner.

Will I go to prison for vehicular assault in Massachusetts?

You could go to jail for a conviction for vehicular assault in Massachusetts, just like any other criminal case, particularly an assault case. Remember, you're looking at felony charges, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. It's one of the most dangerous weapons, it's not a gun, but it can crush and kill people very easily. So, whether or not you end up going to jail is going to depend on the facts and circumstances and frankly your representation and what you present before the court for the judge to take into account if there is a conviction in sentencing.

If you are convicted of a sex crime in Massachusetts, how much time you end up serving, if any, depends on a few things. First and foremost, the circumstances of the case. Was there a weapon involved? Was it rape? Was it indecent assault and battery? How old was the victim? What is the relationship between the victim and the defendant? Those types of things. It's also going to depend upon your defense, frankly, because whatever you have brought to your defense, and played out during the case and presented to the judge, the judge is going to take all those things into account when determining sentencing.

What's the #1 mistake people make when arrested for domestic violence?

The number one mistake that I see people make when arrested in a domestic violence situation is not taking it seriously soon enough. It is critical to get an attorney involved who is experienced with these type of cases. Too often people figure, well the charges are going to be dropped, nobody's going to take it seriously, I just had an argument with my spouse. Don't think that way because the court doesn't think that way. Take it seriously from moment one.

Do I need a will if I have a Living Trust?

You do need a will if you have a living trust. It’s referred to as a pour over [SP] will. In the event that there’s assets inadvertently left out of your trust, a pour over will allows them to pour back into the terms of the trust. A will is also necessary to appoint an executor to act for you in the event that there is a proceeding that does need to be brought before the court. And most importantly, it is necessary if you have children. It allows you to nominate, name a specific individual to act as guardian of your minor child, in the event that something happens to you. I’m Lisa Alred [SP] and I’m a team member of Well Strategies Council. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to assist you with your estate planning, trust administration and probate needs.

Can a child file a wrongful death lawsuit?

Children who’ve lost a parent in some kind of an accident cannot file a wrongful death claim. They can’t file any kind of claim because they don’t have standing in the court, because they’re not an adult. So what happens is an adult stands in for them, it’s called guardian ad litem. So typically it’s a parent, but it could be an aunt, an uncle, a grandparent. Then they can bring a wrongful death claim on behalf of the child for the loss of the support that they would have had, meaning financial support, and the loss of the support that they would have had, meaning emotional support – the love, attention, affection, personal guidance that they would have received from a parent. I’m John Bisnar, senior partner of the Bisnar Chase law firm. We exclusively represent seriously injured accident victims from our offices in Newport Beach, California.

Are debt settlements common in California?

Uh, you will see on the news or on radio ads, or TV ads, debt settlement companies are popping up all over the place in California. Uh, you have to be very careful and do your due diligence when looking to see, uh, what debt settlement program you want to engage in.

When is the right time to initiate a mortgage defense?

The bank determines when the foreclosure preceding begins, but the borrower has an opportunity of deciding for himself or herself when he or she wants the bank to begin this. And the way its done is that a borrower realizes that six months from now, I don't have any money. I'm not going to be able to pay the foreclosure or pay the mortgage in six months. So why spend all of your money between now and six months and give the bank everything you have. Stop paying! Right now! Stop paying. Precipitate a foreclosure right now and you will have fourteen months of not having to pay the mortgage and you can then force the bank, if you have appropriate circumstances, you can force the bank into reaching a modification agreement which right now, today, they won't give you! That's why you're here talking with me, because the bank won't give you a modification. Let's force them to do it by bringing them into court, force them to sue you, you defend and then you can have the relief you are seeking. I'm Carl Person. I'm a New York lawyer and my job is to help people stay in their homes.

How much alimony is awarded in Arizona?

In Arizona, what's been commonly referred to as 'alimony' is now turns as spousal maintenance or spousal support. Oftentimes spousal support is a contentious issue because oftentimes men who have been working in the workforce for many years are reluctant to pay their wife or significant spouse some maintenance. The only way to determine how much spousal maintenance and or spousal support should be paid to this spouse receiving the spousal maintenance is to determine what the incurred complete financial picture is of both persons who are getting the divorce.Obviously, if a person needs to receive spousal maintenance because that's the only way they can get back on their feet, spousal maintenance will be ordered by the court. My name is Mike Baker of The Baker Law Firm. We serve individuals and families all over Arizona in family law matters including divorce, child custody, child support and parenting time matter.

Who gets the dog in a divorce in Arizona?

In Arizona, property that is acquired during a marriage, including the dog usually is divided by agreement of the parties. But of course there are always the cases in which agreements are impossible. But the last thing that a judge wants to do is intervene on how to divide tangible property from the dog, to the lamp, to the book ends. So what the court will order the parties to do is to make a list, an inventory if you will, and make a decision on what’s most important to each party. And they will hand one party the list and they will check off an item, such as the dog. And then they will hand the other party the list and they will check off the couch. This is how property would be divided if parties cannot be adults and come to an agreement. My name is Mike Baker of the Baker Law Firm. We serve individuals and families all over Arizona in family law matters including divorce, child custody, child support and parenting time matters.

What is your experience as a foreclosure defense attorney?

My name is Carl Pierson, and I am a Attorney in New York State. I am admitted to the Federal and State Courts in New York State, and I have various admissions elsewhere throughout the country. I'm a graduate of Harvard Law School, I graduated as the Magna Com Laudi at Long Island University, and I was the Student Council President there. My efforts for many years have been in law. I have more than forty years of litigation experience across the board in a variety of different types of matters. And I'm bringing all of that to bear on this new phenomenon, the crisis that we have in America of foreclosures. I'm trying to deal with them in the best way for the benefit of the people that are losing their homes. Because they don't have to lose their homes, there are protections. For example, New York State is not by accident the state which has the longest period of time for a foreclosure to take place. It was done deliberately in order to prevent people from being thrust out of their homes merely because the bankers are tired of having them live in their homes. So we set up obstacles, and that creates a 14 month period, roughly, for a person to be still in his home even when though he can't pay the mortgage. We've done that deliberately. In California, however, there is a non-judicial foreclosure. And they don't even go into court. When you lose your home in California, the bank puts a sign on your front lawn, they have a bus that takes people by your property, and then they sell your property. And that's a non-judicial foreclosure in Arizona, New Hampshire, California and other states. So New York is the longest state, and the best protected, the state that has the best protection for it's residents. I'm Carl Pierson, a New York lawyer, and a fighter, to keep people in their homes.
