What is the legal limit for drinking and driving in California?

"In California the legal limit is .08%. But there is a separate charge that can be brought against you, just the driving under the influence, and that could be where any alcohol in your system affects your ability to safely operate your car with the same care and prudence that a reasonable person would have who is alcohol free. I'm Virginia Landry. For the last nineteen years in Orange County, I have helped when bad things happen to good people. If you have been arrested for a DUI, please call."

What does legal separation mean in Arizona?

In Arizona, the difference between legal separation and dissolution of marriage is quite simply that as a dissolution of marriage the persons are restored to the status of single persons. In a legal separation, the person still remain married and there still have to be provisions for child custody, parenting time, child support, spousal support, etcetera. One of the benefits of a legal separation is that the health insurance remains constant for both parties as they are not going to be divorced and not the status of single persons. 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's the right type of business formation for me?

Choosing a business entity is so important when starting a business because it impacts dramatically on both the legal protection that the business entity affords and also on your tax consequences. So you have to have a competent attorney to assist you in making these decisions. Because if you don’t, then you’re going to pay more taxes then you should and you’re not going to have the protection that you need in order to properly operate the business.

Can I represent myself after a DUI arrest in California?

If you have been arrested for driving under the influence, you do have the legal ability to represent yourself in court. However, I would not suggest that. There are legal issues.

What is an attorney's role in a real estate sale?

If you're selling real property, you should have a lawyer advise you because the buyer is entitled to a complete disclosure from you, with respect to the property. And if you don't provide those proper disclosures, the buyer can come back and sue you for misrepresentation, fraud, and failure to disclose. You need a lawyer to properly word and structure the disclosures, so that you're completely protected. If possible, it's good to have an as-if clause added in the contract.

If I was injured in a New York fire, how can a lawyer help me?

If you've been injured in a fire in New York, an attorney can look at the cause of the fire and can also look at how the fire spread and can hire the appropriate experts to determine whether or not the building owner followed the rules that were required under New York state, which are dependent upon when the certificate of occupancy of the building was filed with the building department. And based upon when that certificate of occupancy was filed, there are certain legal obligations and the attorney can look to see if those legal obligations were followed and whether or not if they were not followed if they led to the injuries that you've sustained and they can use the failures of the owners to get you the money you deserve.

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 is a mortgage kicker?

A mortgage kicker is what I see as an extra amount of income that the lender can expect down the line without the borrow realizing it, often. And that is that, if the lender recognizes that the borrower probably is going to be in default, and the bank will then be able to get the property back, the bank will also charge a lot of extra legal fees, a higher rate of interest, and then the bank will resell the property to comeone else, another victim, and go through the same thing again, and that's like a kicker, an equity kicker, for the bank. I'm Carl Person, I'm a New York lawyer, and my job is to help people stay in their homes.

Will I still go through probate if I have a living trust?

You don’t need to go through probate if you have a properly funded living trust. Probate is only necessary in the event that there’s assets held outside of your trust, which you did not place title into the name of your trust.

What is a Living Trust in California?

A living trust is an agreement entered into whereby you are controlling the disposition of your assets in the event of your incapacity or your death. A living trust is an important document to have in order to avoid the probate process in California if something were to happen to you. It is also beneficial in situations where a couple is married and they set up a living trust. In the event that one of them passes, you have the ability to shelter assets from future estate taxes.

Should I have a Domestic Asset Protection Plan?

The best structure for a domestic asset protection plan is generally to use liability protected entities in combination with domestic asset protection trust. I like to think of it as a modular plan, where you have the domestic asset protection trust, of which the client is the beneficiary, and the domestic asset protection trust then owns the member, or partner, interest in the liability protected entity.

Should I consider offshore asset protection?

An individual should consider an offshore asset protection plan when they have a substantial amount of liquid assets that can be placed offshore. And the reason you want to consider going offshore is because it gives you a safe haven that is protected against the jurisdiction of the Unites States courts. There are more favorable laws offshore also, with respect to how a lawsuit is treated and how creditors are treated who try to get to your assets.

Can litigation occur in probate or trust administration?

There are a lot of problems that arise that generate litigation during probate or trust administration. A lot of those problems are because of the drafting errors that were made in the initial estate plan. That's why it's so important that the estate plan be prepared by a competent attorney. Other problems arise because of the fact that there are disagreements amongst the children as to what the parent's intentions are. And even if the intentions are clearly stated, children feel slighted, or heirs from a prior marriage contest and dispute with the second wife. And there is lots of different problems involved with blended families. I'm Jeff Matsen, and I'm the founding and managing partner of Wealth Strategies Counsel.

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.

How do I fund a Living Trust?

In order to properly fund your living trust you have to make sure that your assets that are owned by you in your individual name are changed so that title then reads "into your name as trustee of your trust." That often involves the recording of deeds, the transferring of title to bank accounts, investment accounts, certain brokerage accounts. Sometimes in events where there are specific situations, even life insurance. I'm Lisa Alright and I'm a team member of Wealth Strategies Counsel.

Should I refuse to take the breath test in California?

In California, if you refuse to take a breath test, a police offer can still arrest you. There are consequences for that refusal, but the benefit is they may not be able to prove what your alcohol level was. The Department of Motor Vehicles however, if you refuse to take a test, will take away your license for a longer period of time if they can prove that you chose not to give a test to determine what the alcohol in your system was. There are legal issues that go along with that case, and we would welcome the opportunity to talk to you about what happened on your case if you refused to take a breath test. I’m Virginia Landry. For the last nineteen years in Orange County, I’ve helped when bad things happen to good people. If you’ve been arrested for a DUI, please call.

Is there a defense against a failed breath test in California?

There are defenses against failed breath tests in California. For instance, if the police officer has not been appropriately trained, or does some shortcuts on that breath testing device, you may get a false high reading. If the police officer is using a machine that has not yet been approved for service, we may be able to exclude that test result. If you did not properly blow into the machine, you could end up with a false high or a false low reading. All of those give us a legal reason to be able to challenge your breath test.

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.

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.

Are loan modifications common in California?

Loan modifications are becoming more and more common. Six months ago or a year ago, it was almost unheard of. Lenders were telling us you can't get a loan modification. But now as they are starting to finally wake up and realize how much money they're losing. They're actually becoming more willing to enter into loan modification.

How will the economic bailout help me keep my home?

The way that the bailout is currently structured right now is that it helps Wallstreet but doesn't really help main street.Yeah, there's really nothing in the current bailout will neatly help a homeowner whose facing foreclosure. There are guidelines within the bailout that the lender should try to give a loan modification but there's nothing that mandates it. So the bailout as it is planned right now will only have a trickle-down effect to borrowers. It will not help them in a mediate way. So if you're facing forclosure, I would suggest an attorney in pursuing your legal right. My name is Danim Nassiri. If you've been a victim of a predatory loan or facing forclosure, give us a call.

Who pays the claim in a dog bite case?

If you've suffered injury because of a dog bite incident, it's important to find out the owner or the keeper of the dog and it is that person or persons that are responsible for your injuries. Oftentimes can be resolved with the homeowner's insurance company for the homeowner or the keeper of the dog. There may be rental coverage that would provide coverage for the owner or keeper of the dog. Ultimately, if there is no insurance coverage there, you do have a cause of action against the owner or keeper of the dog and it's gonna depend on what types of monies are available to them to compensate you for your injuries.

How expensive to file a college sexual harassment case?

If you're a college student and you feel you've been sexually harassed, you might feel you don't have the funds to seek a lawyer's device. Many lawyers will consult, if ever so briefly, with you for free. Many lawyers will take on cases on a contingency basis. There are also free legal services both on campus and off campus in many college environments. I recommend that you use the internet, and you use your school resources to seek out the advice of an attorney who will offer their services, at least initially, for no charge so that you can determine whether or not you have a case against your college.

What laws protect me from workplace harassment in New York?

There are no laws in New York that prevent an employee from being harassed in the state of New York. It's a common misunderstanding that many employees have, they believe that if their boss is being rude to them, is being hostile to them, is giving them more work than someone else, that that is legal. I often receive phone calls by people who believe that they have a cause of action for wrongful termination. There's no such thing as wrongful termination in New York, it's a broad term that is used to describe employment discrimination, but it does not protect someone who is just merely being harassed in the workplace.

Will my credit score be harmed by debt settlement?

In California, your credit may be harmed by a debt settlement. Most programs are designed to instruct the consumer to stop paying their credit card debt, which is usually the type of debt you’re dealing with, with these programs. When that happens, creditors are allowed to continue to charge you interest, uh, late fees may accrue, and in some of the more extreme situations, uh, you may be the victim of a lawsuit. Uh, so, your credit may be adversely affected. But, it is best that when you are looking around for debt settlement programs you try and find one that has adequate legal representation. Because only a lawyer can make sure your rights are looked out for. I’m Vincent Howard, senior and managing partner of Howard and 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.

How do I find a lawyer if I'm the victim of a Metro Link accident?

Maybe one would ask, if I got hurt in a Metrolink crash, who should I call upon? What lawyer can help me? You know, that’s a real good question. The medical community has done a much better job at guiding people to the right person because of the medical problem you may have. If your little child is sick, you know you need to go to a pediatrician. If you break your leg, you need to go to an orthopedic surgeon. On the other hand for lawyers all it says is: lawyer. You know - lawyer one flight up. And the only way really I think you can get a handle on this is to do some investigation yourself. Services like Legal Faces do an awful lot to give you a handle on the lawyers that are out there, the type of work they do, and how they are successful. My name is Tom Girardi. I’m the senior partner of Girardi Keese. For the past forty-four years we’ve helped people in California who’ve been seriously harmed.
