When is the right time to initiate a mortgage defense?

Carl E. Person

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.

Can I call a lawyer before taking the field sobriety test in California?

The Law Offices of Virginia L Landry, Inc.

"Although most people in California would love to speak to an attorney before deciding to do a field sobriety test, in California you do not have that chance. A police officer is going to make you decide what information you want to give prior to the time that they give you a telephone call. In TV, in the newspapers, we hear about 'you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you. You have the right to speak to an attorney'. But not in a driving under the influence allegation, until after you've been arrested. 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."

What medical errors can lead to kidney cancer?

Steven E. North

Kidney Cancer is often a silent type of cancer, by the time the patient has symptoms it's often too late. But there are instances where there are symptoms that really would really require a work up that would lead to the diagnosis of the kidney cancer. Or, sometimes where somebody has a study for some other reason (a cat scan/ an MRI)and the doctor is not looking for kidney cancer, but it's right in those films and there missed. That often leads to law suits. I'm Steven North, I specialize in medical malpractice litigation, my office is located in a town house on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, we welcome your call.

When should I initiate a mortgage foreclosure defense?

Carl E. Person

The right time to begin a mortgage foreclosure defense is before the bank is even thinking about foreclosure. The best defense is to anticipate when you will need a foreclosure. I say when the borrower needs a foreclosure. This is something the borrower isn't thinking about. The borrower is trying to avoid a foreclosure; but, in fact, many borrowers should seek a foreclosure and plan ahead. I'm Carl Person, a New York lawyer and a fighter to keep people in their homes.

What's the #1 misconception people have about dog bite injuries?

Mazow & McCullough

"In Massachusetts the number one misconception that people have about dog bite injuries is that a dog gets one free bite before you can make a claim. That is not true in Massachusetts. While it may be true in other states, we are a strict liability state here. If that dog bites you, it has only one bite, at which time you are entitled to make a claim against the dog's owner or the dog controller for the pain and suffering from the bite.

Is there a statute of limitations on cancer misdiagnosis lawsuits?

Steven E. North

The statute of limitations in New York for all medical malpractice lawsuits -- with some exception that we won't go into -- is 2-1/2 years. But in cancer cases it's tricky because if somebody had a mammogram, for example, two years ago and didn't know that there was a lesion on there -- that there was cancer on there that wasn't picked up -- and then they find out about it just close to that statute of limitations, they have to put that in suit right away. New York does not have a discovery rule that from the time of discovery the statute runs. It runs from the last treatment by the doctor, and one has to be specially careful in cancer cases. I'm Steven (sp?) North. I specialize in medical malpractice litigation. My office is located in a townhouse in the Upper East Side of Manhattan. We welcome your call.

Are loan modifications common in California?

Howard | Nassiri, LLP

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. A lot of times they won't give you the best deal, however, unless you get an attorney involved or somebody who can actually enforce your legal right to a loan modification, and that's what we're seeing at this time. 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. If you've been the victim of a predatory loan, or you're facing foreclosure give us a call.

How do I know if I should be involved in the TXI chromium contamination lawsuit?

one of the say of all, should I be involved in this law suit or not and the answer that question it depends. First of all, if you live in this area right in decent to the plant and you have cancer, the chances are you should look in to it. Some cancers are not really caused necessarily by a chromium.

How long does a sex offender registration last?

Altman & Altman, LLP

If you’re convicted of a sex crime in Massachusetts you will have to register on the sex offender registry. How long you will have to register depends on the circumstances, and particularly, what offense you were convicted of. Also, your prior record. There’s often a hearing if you challenge where they want to post you in terms of the tiers, or the levels of sex offenders, which also determines how long you’ll have to do it. You have the right to counsel to represent you and I would advise that you do that. But, it depends on those circumstances what level. It can be anywhere from the rest of your life to a much shorter time. I’m Sam Goldberg, Lead Counsel for criminal defense matters at Altman & Altman in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

What is a typical employment class action lawsuit?

The Harman Firm, P.C.

In the employment context, a typical class-action lawsuit would be one where the employer has failed to, and in some cases deliberately, knowingly failed to pay employees, hourly employees, overtime and time-and-a-half and also violated other rights that are available under New York statue such as your right to, for instance, take a lunch break. If your employer has done that to you and to a group of similarly situated people, say all dispatchers in a company...all phone dispatchers...or all people who clean in the building and work for the same company. If that employer has violated any of those rights that I have described, that would be a typical class-action lawsuit. My name is Walker Harman. I'm the Managing Attorney of the Harman Firm.

Why do accidents happen on the Metro Link in California?

Girardi & Keese Lawyers

Metrolink continues to crash because they don’t have safeguards. The fact of the matter is, there all sorts of things they could do. They know that the people in the, in the cabin of the train were suppose to yell out whenever they come across a red signal. Their all supposed to yell it out, red block, so everybody is aware. Um, they don’t do that. They’re, they’re working their crossword puzzle or on their cell phones instead. Now then, to have this sort of irresponsibility, where you have all these people on your train is insanity. The fact of the matter is, what is the Union Pacific freight train doing on the same track at the time the commuter Metrolink is headed on the same track. This is nuts. And, there’s sensors out there that could divert that, that wouldn’t let a train pass when there’s a possibility of harm. But they’ve decided it’s much cheaper, I guess, uh, to pay all the people who’ve gotten hurt, maimed, and killed than it is to do the right thing to make sure this won’t happen again. My name is Tom Girardi. I’m the senior partner of Girardi Keese. For the past 44 years we have helped people in California who have been seriously harmed. I’m very proud of the work we’ve done and the role that we’ve played.
