What is a loan modification?

Well, a loan modification is just that. It's a modification of the terms of the existing loan. The borrower stays in the same loan, but the terms are changed. Typically, we're dealing with an interest rate reduction where the interest rate is lowered to bring the payment down. Another way the loan can be modified is by extending the terms, so a thirty year loan can be made into a forty year loan to bring the payment down a little bit more that way as well. Another common thing that we're starting to see is principal reductions, where the actual amount that the borrower owes is lowered by sometimes tens of thousands of dollars, sometimes a hundred thousand dollars to get the price of the monthly payment down to a point where the borrower can actually afford the payment.

What is a loan modification?

In New York, as in other states, a loan modification is where the bank and the borrower reach an agreement, which generally reduces the monthly payment that the borrower has to make. In some cases, they throw that unpaid amount at the far end, so that the length of the mortgage is more it's greater length in order to pay back the money that isn't being paid today, but all that is subject to negotiation.

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.

Can I negotiate a loan modification myself?

Anyone can negotiate a loan modification. The problem is, is that these lenders are so bombarded -- and they are still a little bit reluctant to give the loan modification -- that a lot of times the borrower can the runaround. And the borrower will submit a loan modification application, and the lender never calls them back. Or if they do the lender gives them bad news because their house is worth less than what they owe. And so they give - they tell them they can't get the loan modification. What a lawyer can do is step in and enforce that right. A lawyer can file a lawsuit under the new California loan modification law and have the judge order the loan modification. My name is Damien (sp?) Nassiri.

How does a loan modification work?

Loan modification works when you have the borrower and the back agreeing to making a change in the mortgage payments. The facts that are being considered are: Does the borrower have the capacity to pay at the reduced rate? Is the value of the property less so that it's no longer fair to hold the borrower to the higher value because for some reason the borrower may no longer be liable for any deficiency? Various factors need to be brought into play - they negotiate it out; reach a loan modification agreement and that way the homeowner stays in the property and usually pays a reduced monthly rate. I'm Carl Person; I'm a New York lawyer, and my job is to help people stay in their homes.

Will a loan modification negotiation stop my mortgage foreclosure?

A loan modification process - that is negotiating a loan modification between the borrower and the bank - you would think would stop the foreclosure proceeding, but it generally does not. That foreclosure proceeding is racing along. And the people at the bank are not calling up the law firm every day advising them on the thousand different foreclosures of what’s going on. The law firm that was told to get a foreclosure is proceeding with a foreclosure, where as the homeowner believes that in talking with the bank and negotiating, there is no foreclosure. That is contrary to what’s happening. They’re going to lose the property. I’m Carl Peron, a New York lawyer and a fighter, to keep people in their homes.

Should I negotiate a loan modification myself?

A person that wants a loan modification can do it himself and runs the risk that the bank can ask questions which the borrower might not be able or want to answer at that point. But, if the borrower hires somebody to do this negotiation for him then there's a certain step away which makes it possible that the agreement can be reached more readily. On the other hand if you just defend the lawsuit the attorney that you hire will be the one to, to negotiate the modification for you.

How can a loan modification help me?

In New York a loan modification could work like this: Let’s say that we have a homeowner that’s paying $4,000 a month, after having paid $2,500 a month for two years. Suddenly the, the monthly payment goes up to $4,000 because of the kicking in of the variable rate. At the same time, this borrower has had a reduction in income, so he can’t pay the $4,000. You then talk with the bank, either directly or through an agent, and see if you can’t reach a modification agreement that will prolong the, the payment period and reduce the present monthly payment. This can be done, and the bank wants people to call when they’re in trouble and see if there can be an arrangement like that. I’m Carl Person, a New York lawyer, and a fighter to keep people in their homes.

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.

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.

How long does it take to get a loan modification?

A loan modification can take anywhere from one month to six months. Typically it involves negotiations back and forth with the lender, and every lender is different just like every loan is different. So, some lenders are a little bit more willing to work with you, others are not. But usually what we do in our firm is we propose a loan modification to the lender, it involves income analysis, expense analysis, it gives a real good snapshot to the lender of what this borrower can afford. We point out to the lender what the fair market value of the property is and that usually is going to encourage the lenders to reduce the principle and the interest rate within a three to six month time frame.

How will a loan modification help me keep my house?

A loan modification can help you keep your house because it can get you back on the track of making your mortgage payment every month. It really is going to help the borrower who is in default and is several months behind on their loan, get back in the position where they can afford the monthly payment. And usually this is only a couple hundred dollars, maybe a thousand dollars. If we can get that payment down by that amount, the borrower should be able to make the payment. Most of these borrowers have gone into default because they've gotten themselves into these adjustable rate mortgages that have just adjusted a little bit too high for their monthly budget. If we bring it back in a little bit then they should be able to get back on track and stay current. My name's Damion Nassiri. I'm partner in the law firm Howard Nassiri.

Can I get a loan modification on a second home in NY?

Carl Person: A person with a second home mortgage can get a modification. The bank is concerned because the person that owns the home doesn't live in it. But if the person that owns the home can demonstrate that the property is rentable and has been rented, and can support a lower rate than is now being charged; the bank will consider whether they should reach a modification agreement, and maybe they'll add more money at the far end but you can modify anything by agreement.

Are loan modifications common in California?

Loan modifications are becoming more and more common in this economic arena that we're dealing with today. Six months ago or a year ago it was almost impossible to get a loan modification. The banks were not giving them. But now, as time goes on, and they have more and more of these non-performing loans and foreclosures are on the rise, the lenders are becoming more wiling to deal with us in terms of loan modifications. And now with the new law in California, the California Loan Modification Law, it does mandate that these lenders give loan modifications if they are going to be of a benefit to society. And the way the legislature has determined the benefit is to try and keep these homeowners in the home if at all possible, if they can make a reasonable payment. My name is Damion Nassiri.

Are sub-prime mortgages eligible for a loan modification?

Subprime mortgages are the ones that basically are being forclosed, and they, yes they are as eligible if not more eligible because in many cases the borrower really did qualify for a lower rate and they gave them a higher rate in order to pay a mortgage broker who looked around for the bank that would give the mortgage broker the most money and the bank then tacked it on and charged a higher rate than the bank should have.

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.

A bank will have to modify a loan now in California because of the California Loan Modification Law. If the borrower meets certain criteria, for instance the loan is orginated between 2003 and 2007 and its a loan on their primary residence, the lenders will have to give a loan modification if the borrower can afford to make a payment on the loan that will reap the lender more money than a foreclosure would.

When is it smart to initiate your own mortgage foreclosure?

A person should initiate his or her own mortgage foreclosure when the person sees that they can't pay the mortgage for six months from now. Stop paying now and that is the initiation of mortgage foreclosure proceedings. And by the way, as a condition for modification, many banks require you to be in default. Don't pay up your mortgage and then think you're going to get a modification agreement. I'm Carl Pearson, I'm a New York lawyer, and my job is to help people stay in their homes.

How is a sub-prime mortgage different from a regular mortgage?

A sub-prime mortgage is given to individuals who don't qualify with their employment record, their income, their earnings to be qualified for the prime rate. So, in many cases the small business person has no earnings, they somehow live, they don't necessarily pay taxes, and when they try to qualify for a mortgage, the bank laughs because you have no income. So the sub-prime was set up basically for those people that couldn't prove that they could pay a mortgage but many other people who don't have any earnings, don't have any income were also included, and that was a mistake.

What happens to my mortgage if my bank went bankrupt?

If your bank went bankrupt, then chances are, it's a matter of time before your loan will get sold to another lender. So you do need to still keep making your mortgage payment if at all possible. However, if you are in a hard way, and you're not able to make that mortgage payment, you will need to try and get a loan modification from the next lender who buys your loan. And the new California loan modification law applies to loan servicers, so it doesn't matter who originated the loan, whoever is currently holding the loan and servicing the loan will be charged with the responsibility of providing you with the loan modification if you qualify.

Do mortgage lenders forgive debt?

Mortgage lenders are in the business of trying to maximize the value of their assets and as part of that they will give up interests, they will give up monies that are owed, they will make deals in order to have the properties that they own be productive for them by having people living in their houses and paying a monthly rent. Part of that means that they may have to give up some of the principle of the loan and they have to reduce the interest rate. Yes they are willing to do that and the objective is to try to have in homes that are paying the mortgage, rather than have a lot of toxic mortgages floating around. I'm Carl Person a New York lawyer and a fighter to keep people in their homes.

What is a mortgage foreclosure defense?

A mortgage foreclosure defense is a way by which a home owner, that owes money to the bank, can keep the home. Number one, a foreclosure action, at least in New York, takes about 14 months. So in a 14 month period, the borrower is able to stall, hold off and forcing the bank to reach a modification agreement hopefully. So these defenses, however, have to be bonafide. For example, a defense that the mortgage broker and the bank were engaged in fraud and were charging a higher interest rate to the borrower than the borrower should have been paying. Often leading up to hundreds of thousands of dollars a year of extra charges. We can defend and do something about that and stop the foreclosure and that's the kind of thing I am urging people do.

The question often arises whether somebody should defend a mortgage foreclosure action himself or herself, particularly when they don't have money.

When a person feels like there is going to be a crisis coming up because of sickness or loss of job, loss of income, and therefore they won't be able to continue paying their mortgage, they should think ahead of time, maybe even six months in advance, see an attorney and talk with the attorney and see whether it is not appropriate now to stop paying the mortgage and save that money- fourteen months worth of mortgage payments. Use that to defend the action and then to obtain from the bank a modification agreement once they are in foreclosure. I am Carl Person.

Do banks prefer loan modifications or foreclosures?

As time goes on, banks are becoming more and more willing to do loan modifications. I would say six months or a year ago, the answer was 'no' whenever a borrower came to a, a bank for loan modification. But as the time is going by and the banks are losing more and more money on the non-performing loans and the foreclosure sales that are not uh, occurring, the banks are st-, starting to change their tune. And especially with the bailout, and the new laws that are coming around with, in California, uh, they are becoming, they're starting to wake up and smell the coffee. And realize that they need to make some money of these loans and the way to do that is to, is to get a loan modification and get the borrower on a payment that they can afford. If they need to extend the term, or if they need to lower the interest rate, something is better than nothing at this point. And so that's the way we're really starting to see banks are becoming more open to the idea of loan modificaiton. My name is Damion Nasire. I'm a partner in the law firm Howard & Nasire.

How does a sub-prime loan work?

A sub-prime loan works like this. If your credit score is less than pristine, you're going to be put in a loan with a higher interest rate, and that higher interest rate is because of the risk that the lender is taking and taking someone who has less than pristine credit and putting them and insuring them or giving them this mortgage rather. But what we've seen a lot of here in California is the homeowner that has a good credit score put in these sub-prime mortgages and loans, and that is because lenders make money when they put people in a sub-prime product.

When should I initiate a mortgage foreclosure defense?

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.

My mortgage just went up! How do I get it back down?

If your mortgage payment just went up, there are two ways of getting it back down. One, is to talk to the bank and tell the bank your problem and see if they won't be willing to modify the agreement to lower the rate and that with the modification agreement with the consent of the bank. But if the bank won't do it, this is where people then go to a lawyer and tell the lawyer "Look, I can't afford it. I'm gonna have to stop paying the mortgage." And the lawyer might say "Well that's a fine thing. Stop paying. Let them sue you. We'll defend and then we will modify it on better terms."

Can my loan be restructured if it was made by a predatory lender?

A loan can be restructured if it was made by a predatory lender, and that is even true if your loan has been sold. Many times the originating lender will sell the loan, and it might get sold two or three times. But the laws that are on the books right now - the Federal Truth in Lending Act, and the California Loan Modification Law all say that no matter where the loan is now, if it qualifies, you can get a new loan, get an affordable payment, and something that can help you stay in the home and avoid foreclosure. My name's Damian Nassiri. I'm a partner in the law firm of 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 does false advertising contribute to mortgage foreclosures?

False advertising contributes to mortgage foreclosures in various ways. One of them is that people who should not be owning a home are encouraged to borrow the money to buy the home. And you wonder is there a group of people who shouldn't own a home? Well, if a person that buys a home doesn't have the money to properly care for the home and can't pay the taxes for the home and can't pay the mortgage payment, that person really shouldn't be buying it and it will, when that property is vacant, its going to hurt the rest of the community as well.

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.

Can I stop paying my mortgage in New York?

Can a person in New York stop paying his mortgage? And the answer is 'yes'. Its very easy, if you can't afford it you have to stop paying and then you invite a mortgage foreclosure action and then you assert your defenses against it and then the bank will have to reach a modification agreement with you if you're able to live within the terms of the modification. For example, you could cut a $4,000 payment down to maybe $3,200. If you can make the $3,200 payment, the bank may be willing to reach the modification agreement to end the lawsuit.

Why is it bad to discuss my mortgage with the bank over the phone?

Another way of helping the borrower is anytime the borrower had any questions about the mortgage, never use a telephone. Always put the questions in writing and send it to the bank. And the bank is obliged to respond in writing. The bank is not obliged under law to respond when its by telephone.

When is it smart to stop paying my mortgage in New York?

It's a smart move to stop paying your mortgage in New York when you don't have the money to pay. You have no other choice, so you should stop payment earlier rather than later. Have the bank then bring a forclosure action, you now have fourteen months of additional time for nonpayment of the mortgage, and because of that the bank will want to reach a modification agreement and you should try desperately to reach one that you could live with, and that's the perfect resolution of the case.

Should I stop paying my mortgage if I'm near foreclosure?

If you're running out of money and the question is should you stop paying your mortgage, the answer is see an attorney, describe what's happening, and the attorney should consider whether you should stop paying it and precipitate a foreclosure so that you can save the money that you do have for the next fourteen months and be able to pay an attorney to defend yourself, so that yes a person could do this and should at least see an attorney to decide whether or not it's appropriate.

What is my 2nd line of defense against mortgage foreclosure?

The second line of defense in a mortgage foreclosure situation is to retain an attorney to file an answer, and do so within 20 days after the summons and complaint have been served. This is critical. It is easy to defend a foreclosure action if you do the defense in a timely basis. It is exceedingly costly and difficult if you have allowed the defense to go by the boards. Don't do it. Defend the action, hire the attorney, pay the money, and you will be sitting a lot better than if you let it go until later and then try to resurrect your situation.

Do banks in New York like to do loan modifications?

You might wonder whether a bank is interested in doing a loan modification. The answer is - they’re ecstatic about it! They want to have the properties that are not paying them money to start paying them money once again. And when people can’t pay them money the only way they can do it is to pay less per month, then the bank is willing to reach an agreement called a modification agreement so that that will take place, yes.

How is a mortgage foreclosure defense like smart business?

When a borrower has a mortgage and knows there's going to be trouble ahead, the borrower should look ahead like anyone in business would that sees bad times coming and they should start adjusting their financial policy, which means in the case of a mortgage, consider whether you should stop paying earlier now, rather than paying until you have no money left. So smart business tactics would be stop paying, force a mortgage foreclosure proceeding and then defend. And then usually reach a negotiation and settlement that will allow the property to be brought back to a performing status.

Do banks want to lower my monthly mortgage payment?

Banks want to lower the mortgage payments under circumstances that are just. For example, if a person has the property that is declining in value, less income, they have been steady payers they just can't afford the higher rate, and especially if the higher rate was just thrust on them with a variable. The banks recognize the writing on the wall and they are willing to reach an agreement, called a modification agreement, to keep the monthly payment down and make it affordable, yes. I'm Carl Person.

How can I lower my mortgage interest rate in New York?

There are two ways to lower a mortgage interest rate, as I see it. Number one, is to reach a modification agreement with the bank that has a lower interest rate. Number two, if the bank doesn't agree to that, and yet...and proceeds with a foreclosure action, then you defend. And what agreement the bank was not willing to make with you before the action, after you start defending the foreclosure action, you'd be surprised how quick the bank might be willing to accept that same agreement.

Has the economic climate forced the banks to give more loan modifications?

The economic climate is forcing more banks to do loan modifications because they have more and more foreclosures on their books, and it’s not a good thing. It’s really what’s driven the market to be where it is right now, that’s required this bailout by our government, iIs because you have so many non performing loans. And the truth of the matter is that many of these borrowers were able to make their payments in the past, but were unable to keep up with their payments when the interest rates adjusted through the roof. So if we just bring those interest rates back down, it’s going to solve a lot of the problems. If we extend the term of the loan from thirty to fourty years, and maybe drop the principal down a little bit, many – if not all – of these borrowers will be able to make the monthly payments on their loans.

If you’ve been the victim of a predatory loan, or you’re facing foreclosure, give us a call.

How can I lower my mortgage payment in New York?

In New York a person can lower his mortgage payment by having a good case to present to the bank that, "I have been sick. I have lost the income." In one case a person's house got a broken back; and as a result it was a structural defect in the house and it caused the house to have half its value. I said, "Negotiate with the bank based upon the new value, and that'll cut your payments in half. You'll only pay half as much and only owe half as much." Facts: The bank wants to listen to facts.

How can a lawyer help me keep my home in New York?

In New York a lawyer can help a borrower who's running into trouble with a home, with a mortgage. And first of all the lawyer should consider whether it's appropriate to stop paying the mortgage right now because of this financial trouble. And then invite a foreclosure. The bank, upon nonpayment, will sue. And then the lawyer should defend, within 20 days after the service of the summons and complaint. In doing so the bank will then say, oh my god there're defending the foreclosure, how unique. Most people don't defend. And the bank will then be more readily agreeable to a modification after the suit is brought when they weren't willing to do the same thing before the suit was brought. I'm Carl Pierceson.

Bankruptcy or a mortgage foreclosure defense?

The issue arises whether people should just file for bankruptcy or deal with a foreclosure action. My feeling is that if you have two options, don't use both of them at one time. I think there's an orderly progression. I think, on one hand, fight the foreclosure and if that doesn't work, then deal with bankruptcy. But I view the foreclosure proceeding as the first thing to do and I urge people to plan ahead and kick off the foreclosure by stopping payment when you know that you won't be able to pay any longer.

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.

How bad is the mortgage foreclosure problem in New York?

Today we have about 370 foreclosures ever week in the five boroughs, and near the end of the year we're going to have an increase in them. The banks right now are holding bank because of the uncertainty; we don't really know what the federal government plans to do. As I see it, it looks like a giveaway to the banks and not much for the homeowner. So that's something that the homeowners should recognize, that the statutes, so far, don't seem to be helping them. If the government gets its' money back, that means that the homeowner pays in full, and that isn't what they hoped that they're going to get.

How does the new California law help me stay in my home?

The nice thing about the new California Loan Modification Law is that it allows any borrower to get a loan modification. You don't have to be the victim of a predatory loan. You just have to meet the basic criteria of someone who had a loan that closed between 03 2003 and 2007. If you have been the victim of a predatory loan, however, that will help your case because when we go before the judge and we ask the judge to enforce the California Loan Modification Law, the judge will most likely have more sympathy for somebody who has also been the victim of a predatory loan and should be more willing to order the lender to give you a loan modification.

What's a common trick a bank uses against struggling home owners?

A trick that many banks use to steal money from a homeowner, especially when he’s in default and he’s no longer paying the mortgage, he’s three months behind, they say, “Look if you want to modify the loan you have to bring your loan up so that you’re no longer in arrears.” So the homeowner then makes payment of ten, twelve thousand dollars and brings it up. Calls the bank, gets another person and says, “Well let’s have a modification agreement. I’m now up to date.” And the bank says, “I’m sorry. We don’t have modification agreements unless you’re in default.” I’m Carl Person. I’m a New York lawyer and my job is to help people stay in their homes.

What's it like to help someone stay in their home?

Feels great to help someone modify their loan because it means they are going to be able to keep the loan. It also has a bigger impact on the economy. If we can get all of these non-preforming loans to preform through loan modifications, I really, truly believe that would be as much of a help, if not more of a help, than the current bail out. Because that is the problem right now in California and across the nation, as we have all these people that are in default because they simply can't afford to pay the mortgage after it increases. After the interest rate goes up and they are good people, they are hard working people and they want to make a loan payment. It's just that the predatory loan has made it as such that they can no longer make that increased payment.

How do I keep my house if I've been the victim of predatory lending?

If you've been the victim of a predatory loan you do have an opportunity to keep your house. If you've been a victim of predatory loan there are a number of different remedies that are available to you. One of them is recision, which is a cancellation of the contract, putting you back in the same position that you were in before you ever got the loan. Another solution would be loan modification, which is a reworking of the loan and basically bringing down the interest rate and the principle balance that you owe, extending the term of the loan, and that will give you an affordable payment that you can keep in your house. Even if you've been late and you've been in default for months, you can still potentially save your home if you've been the victim.

What is the California Foreclosure Consultants Act?

The California Foreclosure Consultants Act is a law in California that prevents people from approaching you while you're in foreclosure and asking you for money up front to perform a service for you to help you get out of foreclosure. It's illegal for somebody, such as a mortgage broker, someone other than an attorney to come to you and say, "Give me money now for something I'm going to do for you later". You actually have to perform the service and then get paid for it afterwards because the Legislature has realized that people, when they're in foreclosure, are in a vulnerable situation and they'll do anything to try and save their home. So, it's really a law to protect consumers. Attorneys are exempt from that model because we are licensed by the state and we're held to a higher standard. So, we are able to actually go to somebody and sign them up under a retainer agreement to perform a loan modification. It's okay for us to do that. But, the Legislature has prevented others from doing that. My name is Damian Nassiri. I'm a partner in the Law Firm Howard and Nassiri.

Do California lenders have to modify my loans?

California lenders and any lender nationwide, if it involves a borrower who lives in California, the new civil code section 2923.5 and .6 says that the lender has to get a loan modification, keep the borrower in the home if the loan modification will make the lender more money than the foreclosure. The point of that statute is to stop these foreclosures from happening. The California Legislature has realized that foreclosures are a tremendous problem. It's impacting the economy and so the California Legislature passed this law as an emergency statute to help homeowners stay in the home and to stem the losses that are resulting from these foreclosures.

If you have a forclosure action both sides would really like to see modification if the modification is acceptable, and that will make the property pay for itself once again where the bank will get a monthly payment and the borrower will remain in possession. That's the desire that's the hope for all of these procedings. I'm Carl Person, a New York lawyer, and a fighter to keep people in their homes.

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.

How do I fight back against predatory lending?

First step you should take if you feel that you have been a victim of the predatory loan in California is that you should contact an attorney, a good attorney who is experienced in truth and lending matters, predatory lending matters will be able to give you free consultation, sit down talk with you and figure out if there is something that we can do. A lot of times there is something that can be done and most borrowers I have talked to did not even know that these laws existed. They had no idea that they could have a legal right to a loan modification under the new California Loan Modification Law. So, first step I would think would be getting a free consultation from an attorney who will be able to advise you of your rights and be able to help you out if you have been the victim.

Can a predatory lending lawsuit prevent foreciosure?

It's possible to stop a foreclosure sale with a predatory lending lawsuit. It will be up to the judge's discretion. The judge will have discretion to stop a foreclosure sale if the judge believes that this case has merit, and that the borrower deserves a loan modification that they can afford. A lot of times, before we file a lawsuit we are able to negotiate with the lender, and the lender chooses to stop the foreclosure sale because they understand that an attorney is involved and that an attorney is trying to negotiate a loan modification that will result in a favorable outcome to the lender because the lender will now have a performing loan with a homeowner who's making a payment, which is better than no payment. 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.

Can I modify my commercial property mortage in NY?

If a person owning commercial property has a mortgage, it's almost the same thing as a tenant in a commercial property going up to the landlord and saying "Look we're having tough times now. I can't pay $80000 a month, I can pay $65000 a month and stay here otherwise I'm just going to have to vacate or go into bankruptcy". So the landlord would say "Okay fine. Let's modify the lease". The same thing is true about a mortgage, that an owner can reach a modification with respect to commercial property when you explain the facts, and the lender is willing you could have a modification. There's nothing prohibiting it, it has to be done by agreement. I'm Carl Person. I'm a New York lawyer and my job is to help people stay in their homes.

Do banks in New York want to lower my interest rate?

Banks would like to make properties pay when they have a mortgage outstanding. And in many cases, the banks will have to lower the interest rate in order to make the mortgage payment affordable by the person living in the home. So that the banks may not like it, but they do recognize that the way of keeping toxic mortgages off their books is to bring them back to life by making the mortgages affordable. In that way they do lower interest rates and that is done in a modification agreement. I’m Carl Person, a New York lawyer and a fighter to keep people in their homes.

Are there laws against predatory lending in California?

There are laws against predatory lending in California. On the federal level, there are laws like the Truth and Lending Act, which forces lender to make certain disclosures of the material terms of the loan. And then on the California State level, there are a number of laws, uh, for example, the new law that just went into affect at the beginning of September of this year, uh, which is called the California Loan Modification Law, which really sets forth a certain set of parameters that lenders have to abide by and give loan modifications to certain people who qualify for those.

What is predatory lending?

Predatory lending basically encompasses the unscrupulous lending tactics that lenders and mortgage brokers engaged in giving home loans to homeowners. Basically, they were not disclosing the material terms of the loan. And that, in and of itself, is part of the reason why a lot of these loans are predatory in nature. They withheld the material terms and didn’t disclose certain things in the loans to certain homeowners, and that basically is what encompasses what is a predatory loan.

What is the alternative to letting a bank foreclose on my home?

The worst thing that I experience in dealing with the mortgage foreclosure situations is the prospective clients who call me up and tell me their tale of woe: that they have a default judgment, the property is going to be sold, what can they do? I tell them the whole thing of what they should have done. I say, "You should have stopped paying. You should have precipitated a foreclosure action. You should have defended within the 20-day period, and you wouldn't be here now. You would be sitting in your home with a modification. But instead -- because you didn't do anything and the banks were at fault because they talked with you and they made you believe you didn't have to do anything -- you must do something. You have to defend the foreclosure action even though you are talking with a bank. And if you don't do that you are going to make me cry when you call me belatedly three or four months later."

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.

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.

Should I get a lawyer to negotiate a severance package?

You absolutely need a lawyer to negotiate a severance package. In many instances the severance package can be made better with the assistance of a lawyer. At a bare minimum, you should understand what the package means and what all the language of the package means. And you should go over your employment history with a lawyer as it relates to the severance agreement. And in the event that there is a problem with any of the payouts under the agreement, you have already established a relationship with a lawyer who can help you work with the company to make sure that all payments are made under the agreement.

Why do I need a lawyer for a car accident case?

If you're injured in an automobile accident in Massachusetts and you have a minor injury, a sprained ankle, you may actually be better off handling the case by yourself. But if you have thousands of dollars in medical expenses, if you have injuries that have prevented you from carrying on your usual daily activities, going to work, going to church, playing golf, if it's interfered with your life, you're better off retaining an accident attorney because statistics show that with an experienced lawyer, you'll get more recovery than you ever will on your own negotiating with the insurance company.

How does a lawyer investigate my medical malpractice case?

As soon as a client thinks that there is a potential lawsuit, the lawyer who is investigating a medical malpractice must meet with the client, really learn all of the relevant facts and circumstances. Then, the next most important thing to be done is to secure the medical records as promptly as possible and have them evaluated by appropriate experts, who will then then be able to determine whether or not there are flaws in the treatment worthy of prosecution.

What's most difficult about being a foreclosure attorney?

The difficult thing about my practice is that I represent people in distress, and distress is an economic situation. They have less money. They have less faith. They have...they're scared they are going to lose everything they have, and they come to me and they want me to help them. I can't help everyone that is in that dire circumstance. The best thing they can do is come to a lawyer--me or some other lawyer when they first have a foreclosure action against them. Then we can help them inexpensively and do a much better job than when they come belatedly. Or, they should get in there early and advise them to stop paying their mortgage so that they don't waste their money, and that they can precipitate a foreclosure and a modification more readily by doing it quickly, by stopping payment. That is what people need to know, and they don't know this. Instead, they talk with the bank, and the foreclosure is taking place. The foreclosure is going to happen. The faceless person at the bank does not call up the law firm and stop the foreclosure. They think it happens that way. I don't see it happening that way at all. So, the foreclosure is racing along, and then it's in default. And then they come to me saying that, "Oh my God, I'm gonna lose the property." What these people need to know in advance is that they don't have to lose a property that way, and it is not expensive to defend a foreclosure action if you do it timely. I'm Karl Pierson, a New York lawyer and a fighter to keep people in their homes.

What rights do I have against foreclosure in New York?

A mortgage foreclosure proceeding involves rights on the part of the borrower and that is to defend the action with whatever defenses that borrower may have. An unusual defense that I see now, and I don't know if it will work, but it should at least be tried, and that is that the bank, contrary to the expectations of the borrower, quite often has sold the mortgage to a pool and has broken it up so that there is nobody in charge, there's no one that owns the mortgage, and therefore when the borrower runs into trouble they can't call a local bank as in "It's A Wonderful Life" and say I'm in trouble will you give me a break. That is contrary to the expectations of the borrower. I'm Carl Person, a New York lawyer and a fighter to keep people in their homes.

What's the #1 mistake made trying to avoid foreclosure in NY?

The number one mistake that people make in a mortgage forclosure action is putting their head in the sand and doing nothing about it saying, people say, well your house isn't sold yet so you don't have to do anything. Wrong! When you have an action for forclosure, you must defend it, and if you do, you have a best chance of saving your property, it is very low cost to defend it when you're not in default, it's very high cost and more risky if you are trying to get a lawyer to help you out after you have defaulted.

How can I afford an attorney to help with foreclosure defense?

When people want to keep their house, they think that paying the mortgage every month as long as they can and holding on to the house that way. That's a mistake. They give away their last cent to the bank and they have nothing left with which to defend themselves. So, thinking ahead when you are going to run into a foreclosure situation, precipitate it yourself by stopping payment. Use that money to higher a lawyer.

How should I talk to my bank if I'm behind on payments?

When a borrower is behind on payments or even has any questions at all about the mortgage, the borrower should always address these concerns in writing- in a letter to the bank. If the borrower does not do that, a telephone call is not required to be answered by the bank. They don't have to get back. But with something in writing, they have to under law. So that you want to keep record of what communications you had with the bank by doing it in writing: very important, especially if you're going to have a defense later on. I'm Carl Pearson, a New York lawyer, and a fighter to keep people in their homes.

How much does an auto accident lawyer cost?

Most attorneys in California who handle auto accident claims charge relatively the same amount for fees. In other words, the best and the worst charge just about the same percentage. It's based upon a percentage of what is recovered, and the percentages typically run anywhere from twenty-five percent to forty-five percent, depending on how far the lawsuit goes, how complicated it is, how much money's been invested, and how big the recovery is, and if it goes to trial. I'm John Bisnar, the Senior Partner of the Bisnar Chase Law Firm. We exclusively represent seriously injured accident victims from our offices in Newport Beach, California.

What do I look for when hiring a product liability lawyer?

The right product liability attorney can seek justice for you. He will know how to use our laws and our civil justice system to hold companies that don’t care, accountable. A manufacturer who manufactures or distributes a product that’s defective, that presents a hazard or a significant risk of injury or death can be held accountable under our laws for manufacturing and selling such a product. This can involve a design defect, a manufacturing defect, or simply a failure to warn or instruct the user of the product, such as a parent, of the hazards involved if it’s not used appropriately. I’m attorney Tom Kiley. I’ve been representing the seriously injured, and their families, in Massachusetts for over three decades.

What's it like to help someone fight against predatory lenders?

It’s a great feeling to help somebody who’s been a victim of a predatory loan. To be able to make that phone call and call the client and let them know that the foreclosure sale has been postponed, that they don’t have to pack up their bags. It’s a great feeling to talk to people who you’ve just helped save their most precious asset. They’ve got kids in school and they don’t want to move, and there is no reason for it. Things can be worked out to get people back on track to be able to make a payment where they can afford to stay in the home and the lender’s not going to lose any more money. So, it really is a good feeling and it’s one that we hope to keep duplicating. My name’s Damion 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.

What are the top 3 predatory lending violations?

The top three predatory lending violations that we usually see are loans that have negative amortization that wasn't properly disclosed to the home owner. One of the other things that we see a lot of is someone who has a really good credit score, who should qualify for a better loan, but are actually put into a sub-prime loan and that's because lenders make more money when they put more people in sub-prime loans. And then the other thing that we see a lot of is people who were presented with a teaser rate and the interest rate bait-and-switch deal where people thought they were getting on interest rate, but they were actually getting another.

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.

Is my home covered in a debt settlement program?

In California, your home cannot be covered under a debt settlement program. Usually debt settlement programs only deal with unsecured debts.

Why is Southern California so hard hit by predatory lending?

California is a victim of this sub-prime crisis for a number of reasons. One, it's Southern California. A lot of people want to move here, buy homes here. [Ah] The homes that people buy here rise in value, or they did up until recently. ah and then what you have is a large number of California residents who were employed in the mortgage industry. California had upwards of 300,000 people employed in this industry. Lenders noticed that, and they wanted to take advantage of that. So they pushed their brokers, even lenders directly, pushed them into pushing people into sub-prime products, and that lead to the economic crisis that we're suffering now.

Are there laws to protect me from predatory lending?

There are a number of laws that are on the books right now that are designed to prevent predatory lending practices. The problem is, is that, lenders a lot of times don’t follow those laws. They wait until they get caught and then deal with the problems later, because they’re too busy making money off of the predatory loans. And while the gravy train is running, nobody’s going to try to stop it. So, a lot of these lenders were giving loans that were not, that they shouldn’t have been giving. But the problem was that we only found out now, several years later that this, what kind of a problem this really was. My name is Damion Nassiri. I’m a partner in the law firm Howard Nassiri.

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.

Should I hire a lawyer to file a dog bite claim?

An attorney can make a huge difference in a case when you are dealing with an adjustor. If you go to an adjustor to settle a case your self and he knows you're not an attorney and knows you can't go to trial you don't have much of a bargaining position. With an attorney who has a reputation with doing dog bite trials and getting large settlements in dog bite cases the insurance company has to be concerned because they know that type of an attorney can bring some heat and make some things happen and will probably get a much higher recovery than someone who is handling it themself. I'm John Biznar, the senior partner of the Biznar/Chase Lawfirm. We exclusively represent seriously injured accident victims from our offices in Newport Beach, California.

Do I need a lawyer to file a dog bite claim?

In dog attack claims, you don't necessarily need an attorney to handle the claim. If it's serious an attorney will be a big help to you. If you are a fair negotiator, I mean if you know how to negotiate and you can handle dealing with an insurance company, then you could handle the claim yourself, as long as you know the value of the claim yourself (and that's the tricky part). Because a very experienced personal injury attorney, or a dog bite attorney, is gonna know what he settled his last 100 claims for and be able to identify the value of your claim versus those other claims.

How will a lawyer handle my motorcycle accident case?

Although people that are involved in minor automobile accidents can perhaps handle their claim on their own, if you are in a motorcycle accident it's recommended that you get an attorney. There's a built in bias against riders of motorcycles. Insurance companies take sometimes dim view of motorcycle operators, so it's more difficult to get an adequate a fair recovery for what has happened to you. I'm attorney Tom Kiley.

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.

Does the bank want to take my home in New York?

The bank wants to take your home in order to sell the home and pay off the mortgage and then it's no longer on the books as a non-performing loan. Years ago, maybe a year or two ago, a bank would relish the opportunity of taking over the property, buying it in at a foreclosure sale, and then selling it to someone else and having a new mortgage on it, but now there are too many houses coming into foreclosure and the banks don't want that inventory. They don't want the property to be non-performing, they want to reach an agreement if they can and have the property continue to pay the bank money. That's their objective now.

What is predatory lending?

Preditory lending involves a series of unfair and deceptive acts and practices commited by lenders and mortgage brokers whereby they put borrowers in worse loans than they would have otherwise qualified for, or they put borrowers in loans that have extremely high interest rates that were not disclosed to the borrowers when they first signed up for the loan. It's a way to take advantage of the borrower and give them a bad loan that they cannot repay.

Is predatory lending a growing problem in California?

Predatory lending is a growing problem in the sense that all of the borrowers who received these predatory loans in the past years, all the chickens are coming home to roost at this point. The borrowers are now, their payments are going through the roof. They can no longer afford them. They are on these adjustable rate mortgages that sounded good and looked good when they first got into them but now as the interest rates are continuing to rise, the borrowers can no longer make these payments. And that's really at the heart of the current economic crisis is a lot of these homeowners in California that cannot make their mortgage payments because they have adjusted upwards and they can no longer afford to make the payment.

A foreclosure notice in New York is a summons and complaint in foreclosure. When a person is served with a summons and complain immediately record the date and the circumstances by which you were served, because you only have 20 days from the date of service to file an answer.

How long does it take a NY bank to foreclose on my house?

People wonder how long it takes for a foreclosure action to cause them to lose their home. The answer is that if you don't defend you could lose your home in about four months. If you do defend and you lose, you would lose your home in about 14 months. The purpose of defending however, is not to lose your home but in order to reach an agreement in order to save your home.

Can I prevent a foreclosure from happening to me in NY?

Whether a borrower can actually stop a fore closer forever depends on the facts so that I can't say across the board that a borrower that defends a fore closer is going to win. The victory in many cases is the delay that the borrower needs to be to get his or her own act together and be able to force the bank to accept less money and that is something that at a lower rate of interest the borrower would be able to do and that would bring the property back to performing. The bank wants the property to perform, the borrower wants to remain in the property, the borrower wants to pay a reasonable amount, and this is what a fore closer action and an adequate defense can achieve for all the parties. I'm Carl Person, a New York lawyer, and a fighter to keep people in their homes.

There's a possibility you can keep your house, but that's going to depend on whether you have adequate representation and whether someone is representing your interests, because the lender certainly aren't, they're representing their interest.

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.

Why do I need a lawyer if I was injured in a Metro Link accident?

How can a lawyer help me in a car accident case?

I look at what I do as helping that particular client in a playing field that just isn't level. Insurance companies hire some of the most well paid attorneys. The insurance companies hire entire teams of attorneys to represent the best interest of the insurance company not the individual person that was injured in an accident or the individual person who was totally disabled as a result of nothing that they did on their own but somebody else's negligence. We level the playing field for a client. My name is Guy Montovano of Kantrovitz and Associates.

Why do I need a lawyer to file a workers' compensation claim?

The biggest problems that you face in a worker’s compensation case are principally dealing with issues of what they call extent of disability. Initially when someone first gets hurt at work, it’s pretty straightforward – they can’t do the functions of their job. And then if they have an injury that turns out to be more significant, that doesn’t allow them to go back and do their previous line of employment, the question then shifts to can they do any type of a job in the greater open labor market. And what I always like to say is that, without proper representation, that insurance companies and insurance company lawyers will assume anything that they want to assume. My name is attorney Stephen Kantrovitz of Kantrovitz and Associates. For the past twenty years, we’ve been representing individuals in the Greater Boston area in worker’s compensation, personal injury, and social security disability claims.

Why do I need a lawyer to file a Social Security Disability claim?

Each and every person filing for social security disability benefits should hire an attorney. Number one: Because it doesn't cost them anything. Number two: Because they'll complete the application and all the paperwork for them. And number three: You're gonna want a qualified attorney to go with you to a hearing, should the matter get that far, to appropriately do a direct cross examination of not only yourself, but the medical expert and the vocational expert that the administrative law judge is going to listen to.

How does the financial crisis effect debt settlement programs?

The current climate may make it easier to get a debt settlement, because the economic situation we’re dealing with now is financial institutions that are failing. And they’re failing because they need liquidity, they need money. Debt settlement is a way for them to get this money. Some money is better than no money. So, where as maybe in the past they may have been slow to settle certain consumer accounts, now they’re going to speed it up and do that - because they need that money given their financial situation, if they’re in a bad way.

What do I do if a debt collector has violated the law?

In California, if you believe a debt collector has cross the line or violated the law, what you first must do is document the wrongdoing. So many times I have clients that come in and they tell me in general that a debt collector has crossed the line, but what I specifically need to know, or what an attorney needs to know is what exactly were the bad acts? For example, a common violation is phone calls- harassing phone calls by the debt collectors after the given time periods. Or they've said harassing or abusive things to that consumer. You need to document that, get the time, date, who you spoke with and what was said, and give that over to your attorney and that's the first step in prosecuting one of these claims.

How do debt settlement programs in California work?

In California, debt settling programs work one of two ways. The first way, the debt settling company gets all their money up front, negotiates something with the lender and passes it off to the consumer and says, "here you go, you're on your own." The better debt settlement companies do it this way - they have the consumer pay money into a trust account over time, and you can only do this with a law firm. Once that money accumulates and so much money is in that account, the attorney makes an offer of settlement to the creditors and when that attorney makes that offer of settlement that money is there. That program is much more successful. I'm Vincent Howard, senior and managing partner of Howard Nassiri. We work hard every day representing the consumer from our headquarters in Orange County, California. If you need attorney you can trust, go ahead and give us a call.

What's the first step in a debt settlement program?

In California, your first move in deciding you want to enter into a debt settlement program is to contact someone you trust and feel comfortable with. Once you’ve done that, usually what they’re going to instruct you to do is to stop making payments on your credit cards. And remember, this may adversely affect your credit scores. But you have to look at it this way. If you’re already reaching out to someone needing that help, your credit score’s probably being impacted already by not making payments at all or making slow payments altogether. After that you’re going to do a financial assessment to see if debt settlement is right for you. And then you’re going to start making payments into a trust account that is designed to hold your money and use that money to settle your unsecured debt.

Will a debt settlement program stop the harassing phone calls?

In California, if you enroll in a debt settlement program where an attorney provides you representation, it may stop the harassing calls from creditors and debt collectors. Under federal law, debt collectors as that term is defined, once you are represented by an attorney the debt collector has to stop the harassing calls. They have to. That's not the same for state law. However, California has a more inclusive statute that protects consumers from harassing calls and only an attorney can make sure that that stops.

How long will it take debt settlement to get me out of debt?

In California, once you engage in a debt settlement program, how fast you get out of debt is really going to depend on you. In some of the better programs where you're putting money into a trust account with an attorney giving them the ability to negotiate your debt away, it's going to depend on how much disposable income you're going to have and how much money you're going to have to put in that trust account. If you put more money in there, of course you're going to get out of debt a lot faster than someone who's putting less money in there. So, at the end of the day it's going to depend on the actual consumer on how fast they get out of debt. I'm Vincent Howard, senior and managing partner of Howard and Nesery.

Debt settlement or bankruptcy in California?

In California, it's going to depend on the individual consumer's situation as to whether they should enroll in a debt settlement program, or whether they should declare bankrupcy. Certainly, if someone doesn't have a lot of disposable income, or any disposable income, to make the monthly payments necessary to be in a debt settlement program, and if they have an insurmountable amount of unsecured debt, then bankrupcy may be the way to go. But keep this in mind - with the change in the new bankrupcy's laws, it's not like it used to be, where you filed bankrupcy and, that's it, my hands are wiped clean of it. With the new bankrupcy laws, you may still have to be in a repayment program, just like you would in a debt settlement program. I'm Vincent Howard, senior and managing partner of Howard Nassiri.

Does my debt go away in a debt settlement?

Your debt may go away in a debt settlement program. I mean at the end of the day that's the goal.

However, the consumer has to realize that it's up to the creditor ultimately whether or not they want to reduce or even erase the amount of debt that you owe.

Almost everybody who files bankruptcy keeps their car, uh, if they want to.

What if I die before my mesothelioma case is resolved?

If you die before your mesothelioma case is heard, then your estate will be the one who will benefit from the suit. It will take a longer period of time for a mesothelioma lawsuit to be processed if the claimant is deceased because the courts take them off a fast track and put the meso cases on a slower track, but your heirs at law will recover what you as a victim would have been entitled to recover.

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.

I didn't feel pain from a car accident right away, can I still sue?

Most people don't feel acute pain immediately after the accident. Most people don't run to a doctor immediately after an accident. Most people will go home, take some Tylenol, take some Advil, and figure that the pain will go away by the next day. And most people, after two, three, four days, will start becoming concerned about the pain. It's usually at that point that someone that's been injured in a car accident, albeit not acutely injured in an automobile accident, but someone that's been injured in a car accident, will seek medical treatment. The best piece of advice is to call your primary doctor, seek medical treatment, don't worry about how the medical bills will be paid, because they will be paid through the personal injury and protection benefit provision of the policy of the vehicle that you were in, or the vehicle that struck you, if you were a pedestrian.

What is an auto defect lawsuit?

With regard to the difference between an auto accident case and an auto defect case, its very important to have an experienced lawyer that does auto defect cases to figure out the difference. If you're in an auto accident case, you typically are only going to be able to recover whatever the applicable insurance policy limits are on the person that caused the accident. That could be as low as $15,000. However, if an experienced lawyer is looking at the case they may note that a defect in the vehicle actually caused the injury and then you should have an auto products liability case and recover the full amount of damages you're entitled to.

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.

How common is filing for bankruptcy in Massachusetts?

Bankruptcy has become more common in Massachusetts and the country because of the financial dilemma that we are in right now.

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 law, 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 owner or the dog controller for the pain and suffering for the bite. My name is Robert Mazow, I'm a partner with Mazow/Mccullough. If you've been hurt or a family members been hurt as a result of somebody else's negligence, call us, the right lawyer makes all the difference.

How much does a medical malpractice lawsuit cost in NY?

The cost in a medical malpractice lawsuit is incurred by the attorneys. The attorneys in New York will pay the disbursements that are associated with prosecuting the case. If there's no recovery, the attorneys are allowed to absorb those expenses and not pass them on to a client. If there is a recovery, then those out-of-pocket disbursements are paid back to the lawyer. The range of disbursements in a malpractice case can be as low as five or six thousand dollars, and it can go above a hundred thousand dollars, if there's a lawsuit involved and a trial involved. I'm Steven 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.

Can kids be placed on orders of protection in Arizona?

The most common misperception of an order of protection is that children cannot be placed on an order of protection. Fortunately, or unfortunately depending on the party, children can be placed on an order of protection and a parent can be wholly prohibited from contacting those children as a result of the current order of protection placed against them. Therefore if a child is placed on an order of protection, it is imperative for that person to contact a lawyer, contact my office, so that we can assist you in getting that child off of an order or protection that often times is unfortunately used as a vindictive means by one parent to prevent access to other child. My name is Mike Baker of the Baker Law Firm. We serve individuals and families all over the state of Arizona in crinimal law matters such as drug possession, domestic violence and assault.

Describe employment agreements in New York.

Employment agreements in New York are extremely important because once you’ve signed any type of agreement you’re bound by all of the terms of them. So you really need to understand whatever it is that you sign. Um, and, most often times, and I-, I would say, in almost every occasion you should probably have a lawyer review any employment agreement that you’re asked to sign before you sign it. I would say that that’s the, the paramount aspect of employment agreements. Employment agreements can be complex and they can contain any number of different things. The most important thing is that you understand what you sign. My name is Walker Harman. I’m the managing attorney of The Harman Firm.

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.

Why does The Harman Firm handle discrimination cases?

I handle discrimination cases because I decided early on that if I was going to be a lawyer I wanted to represent individuals, and I wanted to champion the rights of the underdog. I believe that that’s, uh, would be the best use of my talent and my passion. And, um, it’s, uh, why I’ve developed, uh, my firm. Um, I’ve found that in the employment context in particular, discrimination can be pervasive and subtle, and people are less likely to assert their rights and say if they’ve been discriminated against, uh, out on the street or in a store. And so I became particularly passionate about discrimination in the workplace. My name is Walker Harman. I’m the managing attorney of The Harman Firm.

How do hot gas ripoffs affect our California gas taxes?

When you pay the gas tax, you pay a certain portion for the state on every gallon, certain portion to the feds on every gallon. However, when the Chevrons of the world and Shell and everybody else, they're all the same, when they go pay the state and they go pay the feds, say on ten thousand gallons, they say, "You know we really didn't sell ten thousand. We're gonna temperature adjust it. We only sold 9,400." Then you know what they do with that tax money? They keep it. They keep the differential. I know you don't believe me, but I promise you that's the case. This is not a situation where a lawyer is saying, "This is what happened" and the oil company is saying, "Oh no, this is what happened", the fact of the matter is, they've agreed that that's exactly what they do.

Who pays the claim in a dog bite case?

In a dog bite lawsuit, the dog owner is responsible almost always. And if the dog owner owns a home, then his homeowner's insurance, the general liability provision of his homeowner insurance, will cover, unless the dog has been excluded from the policy. And in many policies in California, specific breeds are excluded, specific dogs are excluded, and specific weight of dogs are excluded from the policies. Otherwise the general liability provision of the insurance policy of a homeowner will cover a dog attack claim. I'm John Bisnar, the senior partner of the Bisnar-Chase law firm.

Who are the most common victims of a dog attack?

The most horrendous dog attack cases are the ones against children. Generally dogs will bite a child around the face, neck and head. With the very aggressive dogs, they will rip and tear. So, there is a lot of damage that creates tremendous scaring especially around the lips, the face, the eyes, the ears. I've seen cases of lips ripped off and ears ripped off and the amount of recovery time, the scaring, and the plastic surgery that comes afterwards, it?s just tremendous, its horrendous.

How much money are victims of dog bite attacks awarded?

The recovery in a dog attack law suit is just like in any other lawsuit. It's the value of your claim. It's the value of your injury. It's the value of your medical expenses. The reason why dog attack claims are higher than in other kinds of accidents is because of the nature of the wound. A dog bite wound is jagged, it's full of germs, it leaves nasty scarring and many, many bites are to the face, especially children. So you have great deal of scarring and you wind up having plastic surgery bills. I'm John Bisnar, the senior partner of the Bisnar/Chase Law Firm.

Who's at fault in a dog bite attack?

"In California, if you own a dog and it bites somebody, you're at fault. It's called strict liability. Your dog bites somebody, you're at fault. The only way to get out of that is if the person who was bitten was attacking you, or burglarizing your property.

Why are dog attack cases on the rise in California?

I can see that 80 percent of the cases I handle involve two breeds, Rottweiler?s and pit-bulls. Twenty years ago, I never saw a Rottweiler or pit-bull case. They were usually German Shepherds. We have a much higher percentage of the more aggressive breeds of dogs and we also have more people, dogs in smaller areas, they're more agitated, there is more chances of the dogs getting upset and actually attacking somebody. The more aggressive breeds, they attack and keep attacking rather than bite or nip to make you go away. I'm John Bisnar, the Senior Partner of the Bisnar/Chase Law Firm.

What should I do after a dog attack?

The procedure after a dog attack is, of course, first getting medical attention. That's foremost. But as far as a dog bite claim, what's important is identifying the dog and then identifying the owner. Taking pictures of the wounds is huge, because a picture tells a thousand words, and a wound doesn't look so bad six months after it's been healed up, but it looks really bad right in the beginning. And an insurance adjuster or a jury is never going to understand how bad the bite was unless you have early photographs. I'm John Bisnar, the senior partner of the Bisnar/Chase Law Firm.

How severe are typical motorcycle accident injuries?

Motorcycle accidents result in much bigger injuries than car to car accidents because the motorcyclist is exposed. It is not uncommon to see major broken bones, head injuries, brain injuries, paralysis. Motorcycle accidents are a challenge not only for the injured person but for the attorney representing them because there is also a natural bias in the juries and in insurance companies against motorcyclists.

What is a wrongful death lawsuit?

A wrongful death lawsuit really involves two different types of claims. One is the Survivor Claim, and one is what is traditionally called a Wrongful Death Claim. In the Survivorship Claim the family is entitled to all the expenses that were incurred by the death. In other words, medical expenses, funeral expenses, burial expenses and punitive damages. There's also the"Wrongful Death Claim. The Wrongful Death Claim is where each family member has a claim for the loss of anticipated financial support, and what we call loss of consortium: love, attention, affection,guidance...that you would have received from this person throughout your lifetime. So those are the elements of what is traditionally called a Wrongful Death Claim. I'm John Bisnar, the Senior Partner of the Bisnar/Chase Law Firm. We exclusively represent seriously injured accident victims from our offices in Newport Beach California.

Are wrongful death lawsuits common in California?

Wrongful death claims in California are as common as deaths caused by accidents. Because it’s just li-, it’s a personal injury case, but it’s not by the person who was injured directly, it’s by the person who is injured indirectly in the loss of a family member. So, are there a lot of wrongful death cases in California? Yes, there are; as many as there are personal injury actions for someone who died.

What's does an award cover in a wrongful death lawsuit?

A wrongful death claim in California can be brought by any family member. And what they're entitled to recover is the funeral expenses, the burial expenses and medical expenses. And then they can also recover whatever the lost income to them was. In other words, if a child is being supported by their parent and their parent is killed in an accident of some type, they can recover the anticipated income that they would have received from the parent. But the big unknown, the big tough one is the value of the loss of the relationship. You know, the loss of love, attention, affection, guidance, those kinds of things. That is the unique part of a wrongful death claim. I'm John Bisnar, the senior partner of the Bisnar Chase Law Firm.

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.

How much will a wrongful death lawsuit cost?

People who are considering a personal injury lawsuit or a wrongful death lawsuit really do not need to concern themselves with up front costs as long as they are dealing with one of the real personal injury law firms that have real experience, really know what they are doing. Those law firms are going to advance all the costs of the case anyway. I've never had a client that could afford the costs upfront that it takes to pursue a lawsuit. All the best law firms will advance whatever it takes, take the money out of the recovery, and if there's no recovery, they'll eat the loss. So you don't need to be concerned about "what is it going to cost me?" I'm John Bisnar, senior partner of the Bisnar Chase law firm.

There is a lot of abuse, there's a lot of sexual abuse, there's a lot of neglect, there's a lot of failure to take care of them.

A medical malpractice generally occurs simply because a mistake is made. No one is perfect; no one is expected to do everything always absolutely right. Things do happen.

Do they have nurses on staff? Have they had extensive experience in their career? How many years have they been in practice? And what do others in the community think of them? I interview more than one law firm, and I find who I feel comfortable with. It shouldn't just be 'oh who can I go to? will they take my case?', it's 'who am I comfortable with as a consumer?'. As a consumer they should take the idea of hiring an attorney as something that they're empowered with, and they should choose who they feel is capable.

The most important thing to remember is that an insurance company is not looking out for your best interest. You should hire an attorney.

Why is elder abuse becoming more common?

Elder abuse in California, and throughout the nation is a huge problem and its getting bigger everyday, it's getting bigger everyday because there are more elders. The companies who run elder facilities are for-profit facilities, and the way they can make more money, is by shorting the staff, so what happens is the amount of staff that is in nursing homes is usually much less then there should be, and much less than it takes to take care of the elderly people.

What are some common auto defects?

The most common types of auto defects that you see on the highways are rollover cases. There's a lot of SUVs on the highways today, SUVs roll over easier than passenger cars although they don't necessarily have to, but you're going to see a lot of rollover cases. You're going to see a lot of tire tread seperation cases, where the tread comes off the tire, then causing a rollover accident. You'll see airbag cases, where airbags failed to deploy or deploy untimely, just because it deployes, it's got to deploy just right or you can be injured from your airbag. There are defective seatbelt buckles on the highway, you could feel like you or your family member is safely buckled up, get in a rollover accident, get ejected from the vehicle and seriously injured or killed. People will assume you were not wearing your seatbelt, but you were. Seatbelt buckles are known to come undone at times as well. Hi, my name's Brian Chase.

Is a rollover accident caused by an auto defect?

Things to look for if you're involved in a rollover accident in California are not just the fact that you were in a rollover. Look for things such as roof crash. In other words, did the roof on the vehicle push in. Oftentimes, that can cause fatal to catastrophic injury to a person's head or neck. So look at the roof. See if the roof is deformed down towards the dashboard. Also, if your loved one was ejected from the vehicle, people are going to assume they weren't wearing their seatbelt. If you know they were a habitual seatbelt user, then they probably did have their seatbelt on, and they've got a seatbelt that's defective, and unlatched during the crash. You need an experienced attorney to know what to look for in the vehicle to prove or disprove seatbelt usage. Hi, my name's Brian Chase. I'm a partner at Bisnar Chase in Newport Beach, California.

Why do auto defects still happen in cars today?

The reason auto defects still happen is corporations that manufacture automobiles continuosly put profit over safety. Its been a constant theme for decades.

Should I handle my own auto accident claim in California?

People who are involved in auto accidents can handle their own claims. It’s kind of like, can you handle your own injury? Well if your injury is a scratched leg, you can put some antiseptic on it and a band-aid. But if you got a broken leg that needs to be set, I don’t think that’s the kind you want to handle yourself. Same thing with auto accidents – the more serious the accident, the more you’re going to need professional help. I’m John Bisnar, the senior partner of the Bisnar Chase Law Firm.

Why do insurance companies limit car accident pay-outs?

Insurance companies limit payouts because that's where their profit is. You got to remember that when you pay your auto insurance premium only two or three percent of that dollar that you pay in premium goes to profit. However, every dollar saved on your claim is a dollar of profit. So therefore, it's 33 times more profitable for the insurance company to save a dollar on your claim than it is to get a dollar in premium payments. They are in the business to make money. They are in the truth, justice, fairness in American way business. They are for-profit business, and they will make their profit wherever they can.

What's the #1 mistake people make after an auto accident?

The biggest mistake people make in handling their own personal injury claim and dealing with the insurance adjuster is believing that the adjuster is on your side. Insurance adjusters are trained to limit claim payouts. Insurance adjusters get promotions and bonuses based upon how low they can settle claims for. And one of the best ways they can get you to settle a claim cheap is by being your friend and getting you to believe that they are on your side. They are not on your side. They are on the insurance company's side. They are there to make money for the insurance company by settling your claim as cheaply as possible.

What do I do if I'm in a car accident and my child was injured?

The first thing a parent should do if they're involved in an accident and their child is injured, obviously, is to tend to the child. Once they asses the situation they should immediately call the police. It's very important. The police will come, they will document the position of the vehicles, perhaps cite the at fault driver. They will takes names and statements from witnesses. They perhaps will do an accident reconstruction. This is all very important, ultimately, for an attorney representing a parent and/or a child that's in a serious automobile accident. I'm attorney Tom Kiley.

How much money can I recover from a car accident?

Many times in Massachusetts, no matter how seriously you’re injured in an auto accident; your recovery is limited by the insurance policy held by the other driver. The minimum limits in Massachusetts are twenty-forty. That means for any one individual, there is only twenty thousand dollars available. So unless you have underinsured coverage on your car, protecting yourself, your recovery is limited to twenty thousand dollars. I’m attorney Tom Kiley.

Tom Kiley: If you're in a car accident and you have minor injuries, you can represent yourself against the insurance company, but the deck is stacked against you. Insurance adjusters are trained to pay as little as possible on claims. And although you may be bright and be a good negotiator; you don't have a point of reference with respect to the value of your claim. That's why you need an experienced attorny.

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.

Who are the most common victims of dog bites?

Unfortunately the most common victim of dog bites in Massachusetts, as throughout the United States, are children.

What injuries can a dog bite cause?

In dog bite cases especially those involving children we see very jagged injuries that are dirty, tend to get infected. We've seen children's ears get bitten off, lips torn, noses bitten off, eye damage. It can be very devastating especially if it's a large dog, and these injuries many times require plastic surgery to repair and involve permanent disfigurement, so the value of the cases could go from the thousands of dollars to millions of dollars depending upon how much damage the dog does to the child.

Are motorcycle accidents common in Massachusetts?

In Massachusetts we see more and more motorcycle accidents every year. Motorcycles have become much more popular, there are hundreds of thousands of them on the road.

The insurance adjustor is not your friend. He's trained to act like your friend. His objective is to pay you as little money as possible. I'm attorney Tom Kiley.

Is the field sobriety test a scientific test?

For the standardized field sobriety test, there's been hours worth of preparation and literature that goes into the administration of those tests. Its a human, eye-hand, gate, coordination fiasco, which is not designed to have you do well on the side of the road. If they want you to do well, are they going to have you stand on two feet, the way you normally do, or are they going to have you stand on one foot?

What is the field sobriety test?

Standardized field sobriety tests are roadside hand, eye, gait coordination things for a police officer to determine whether or not you are affected by alcohol. Police officers will use that as a gauge to determine whether or not you get arrested.

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.

Should I refuse to take the field sobriety test in California?

If you were stopped in California for the allegation of driving under the influence, you are not required by law to do standardized sobriety tests. Because they are designed for failure, it is my suggestion, that you cordially refuse to take those tests. Be straight forward with the officers. Say 'I don't think I wanna do those tests', 'Am I required to?'. Because you are not and a lot of times the police officer will still try to get you, on the side of the road, to do those tests. But because they are designed for failure, keep that in mind and you can refuse to take standardized field sobriety tests in California. I'm Virginia Landry.

Is there a defense against the field sobriety test in California?

There are things that you can do in defense of those standardized field sobriety tests. The police officer is going to give you a verbal demonstration, and in that verbal demonstration, you have to pay attention to what the parts are. If the police officer doesn't give you the instructions correctly, that is an ultimate defense in trial about whether or not they were properly given by the police officer. In addition to that, if the physical demonstration that the police officer gave you was not according to the standardized test requirements, you can also beat those cases. I'm Virginia Landry.

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

There are defenses against failed breath tests in California.

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.

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 rising BAC defense in California?

The easiest way for me to explain a rising blood alcohol concentration case is, let's suppose you and your friends are out at the bar. You have watched a sporting event, and you are finishing up that last drink. Or you decide, "I want to have one for the road." You finish your last drink. You get behind the wheel of the car. And within a short period of time you are stopped by a police officer. The alcohol from that last drink has not been fully absorbed into your system yet. So it has not reached its peak concentration. So you were lower when you were driving as opposed to later when the police officer tests you by either breath or blood. I'm Virginia Landry.

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.

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.

Why does medical malpractice occur in NY hospitals?

Medical malpractice occurs for various reasons. One of the most common reasons is that people are treated in hospitals by physicians who are early in their training, and are actually learning while they are treating the patients and learning on the patients. Experienced doctors, attending physicians, physicians with years of practice frequently aren't present when the most injured, most seriously ill people arrive at hospitals. So, when you are treated by a novice, they frequently miss the problem that you are there for. This gives rise to many malpractice suits.

It’s the soldiers that were in World War II, it’s the people who worked in the navy yards, it’s the people who did manufacturing and pipe fitting, it’s the unsung heroes who really took care of and developed and made our country. And in too many instances, we’re turning our backs on these same people who were exposed to asbestos and not providing them and their families with the type of compensation they deserve. I’m attorney Jim Sokolove. If you’ve been injured, call us.

How much will a mesothelioma lawsuit cost?

Mesothelioma lawsuits in the United States are brought on what is called a contingency basis which means the client does not pay any out of pocket expenses unless the case is successful. And then if the case is successful, the client will be charged a contingency fee, which means that the client will be charged a % of the recovery. And generally, in mesothelioma lawsuits, the fee is one third to 40% of the recover. I'm attorney Jim Sokolove. If you've been injured, call us.

What should I do if I think my loved one has been abused in a nursing home?

The question is, was a nursing home resident injured as a result of negligence by the nursing home operator. The first thing that one should do is report the incident to the state nursing home ombudsman. Then the next thing they should do is confer with the nursing home administrator and go over their complaints and what is going wrong, and then the next thing they should do is contact an attorney who concentrates in nursing home abuse cases so the matter can be investigated and obtain all of the records and most importantly, can we get witnesses, can we get other staff members to come forward to talk about what was staffing ratios, what happened, and get the true story as to what caused the injury to the elderly resident.

Do they have nurses on staff? Have they had extensive experience in that area? How many years have they been in practice? And what do others in the community think of them? I'd interview more than one law firm and I'd find who I feel comfortable with. It shouldn't just be, 'Oh, who can I go to and would they take my case?', its 'Who am I comfortable with as a consumer?'

Is a sneaker considered a weapon in an armed assault case?

A sneaker is a funny thing in terms of armed assault and battery in Massachusetts. It’s softer than a shoe. So very often, if a person’s wearing a sneaker when they kick somebody, it’s not treated like an assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. However, if I pick up my sneaker and I use it like a battering and I throw it at you – armed assault. I’m Sam Goldberg, Lead Counsel for criminal defense matters at Altman and Altman in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I have twenty-five years of experience.

What constitutes an armed assault & battery in Massachusetts?

In Massachusetts, an armed assault and battery is really an assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. That dangerous weapon can be anything. It can be a shoe. You've probably heard of assault and battery with a shod foot, that's a-, a foot with a shoe in it. It can be a gun, it can be a car, it can be a pencil. It can be anything.

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.

What types of injuries are covered by workers' compensation?

Worker's Compensation covers injuries or accidents that arise in the course of your employment. Many of them are very obvious. You know, I bent down and I lifted something up awkwardly, and I had an acute injury to my back or my neck. And the ones that become far more difficult and where people really don't understand their coverage are the repetitive type injuries, that - the types of injuries that happen over time, that my job requires me to lift heavy things day in and day out; and over time my body breaks down where I can't do the functions of my job. People unfortunately don't know that that is exactly what Worker's Compensation covers, that they feel it has to be some specific acute identifiable event. And that's not what the statute requires. My name is attorney Stephen (sp?) Kantrovitz of Kantrovitz & Associates. For the past 20 years we have been representing individuals in the greater Boston area in worker's Compensation, personal injury and Social Security disability claims.

What is workers' compensation?

If somebody in Massachusetts has an injury while they're at work and they are unable to earn their wages and/or require medical care, they're going to be covered for their lost wages and their medical treatment. The question or the issue of fault is irrelevant. We don't ask the question of "Was it John's fault when he fell down a flight of stairs at work, or lifted the box at work," that's not the question. The question is whether or not they were an employee, whether or not they were hurt while they were working and whether or not they are disabled from performing the functions of their job and/or require medical care, period. My name is Attorney Steven Kantrovitz of Kantrovitz and Associates. For the past twenty years we've been representing individuals in the Greater Boston area in worker's compensation, personal injury, and Social Security disability claims.

How much money is awarded in car accident claims in California?

The theory of an auto accident claim is to recover your losses, so your claim is worth whatever you've lost. If you have a sprained ankle, your case is worth next to nothing. If you have a brain injury and cannot work any longer and that the rest of your work career is over, then your case is worth millions of dollars.

Can I sue if the other driver has no insurance?

You also have to consider the ability to pay of the person who caused the accident. If the person who causes your auto accident has no insurance, has no assets, no matter how big your injury is, your claim is worth nothing. If they've got a fifteen thousand dollar policy, and you have a big injury, then probably your claim is going to be worth fifteen thousand dollars. If someone has a million dollar policy, and you have a claim that's worth twenty-five thousand dollars, your claim is worth twenty-five thousand dollars. So the value of an auto accident injury claim is based upon what you lost, how big your injury is, and the ability of the wrongdoer to pay.

To recover money, do I need to sue after an auto accident?

Most people that have been injured in an automobile accident do not technically sue. If they are injured, they make a claim and there is a difference between a claim and a lawsuit. A claim is you present a claim to the insurance company and you work out a hopefully fair settlement. If you don't work out a fair settlement, if you don't get the money that you believe you are entitled to, that's when you go to a lawsuit. And lawsuits on personal injury accidents on auto accidents in California have been declining every year for the last ten to fifteen years.

Why should I take pictures after a car accident?

The best thing you can do after an auto accident is be taking pictures, either with your cell phone, single-use camera or something like that, because it's the best evidence. A picture tells 1,000 words; 1,000 words is great at an accident scene. It gives you pictures of the other automobiles, pictures of where it happened on the roadway, pictures of the person who was driving the other car. Those are all important for a case.

Can I sue for damage to my car from dangerous roads?

If you’re involved in accident th-, that occurred at an intersection, the city or state may be responsible for that. There are a lot of intersections that are dangerous throughout the State of California for a whole variety of reasons. Sometimes a lack of a cross walk; lack of signage meaning you should have a stop sign, four-way stop, two-way stop; lack of intersection signals; um, a lack of lighting, there are a lot of things that cities are aware of that need to be at certain intersections that are not in place. And violation often times have their own policies and procedures and design guidelines, and there’s recourse to that. If you find yourself involved in an intersection collision, get a reputable attorney in California that specializes in that kind of work. They will know what to look for, they’ll know how to get around the design immunities in certain cities or states have and determine whether or not you have a viable case against them.

When should I consult an attorney if I suspect malpractice?

If someone suspects that there is a medical malpractice case, it's important that they contact an attorney promptly. The reason for that are multifold. One is a statute of limitations, a time limit in which a lawsuit has to be brought. And some of those time limits are very short. If municipalities are involved it's as short as three months within a claim has to be filed. It's also important to get involved early to obtain the medical records before they are potentially changed or altered. So the earlier the better is the general rule.

Can I sue in New York if my cancer diagnosis was delayed?

A delay in diagnosis in cancer is often the basis of a cancer medical malpractice lawsuit but there are two very significant elements to a medical malpractice case. One is that the doctor missed the boat, so to speak. The other element is that it made a difference, that it had an impact on the patient's course. So if a patient goes to Doctor A on one day and he doesn't pick up the cancer but goes to another doctor the next day and it's very obvious, there's really no damage that results from it. And it's the damage that's the controlling factor. I'm Steven North. I specialize in medical malpractice litigation. My office is located in a townhouse in the upper east side of Manhattan.

Is there a statute of limitations on cancer misdiagnosis lawsuits?

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.

When should I consult an attorney about cancer misdiagnosis?

Steven North: It's important to consult an attorny when there's cancer misdiagnosis as soon as there's the suspicion or fear that there is the potential of a lawsuit. Most people don't really know if they have a case or not. They do have certain factual beliefs to have a sense that there is that but it's very important that the medical records be obtained timely, and because there are limitations in time it is very essential that that be started as soon as possible.

What medical errors can lead to kidney cancer?

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.

What medical errors can lead to lung cancer?

Often lung cancer is not symptomatic. That is, the patient doesn't show any signs or symptoms, often until it is too late. The chronic cough, the coughing of blood, and other symptoms. But screening x-rays often are and should be done. It's a standard of care in some instances, typically depending on the age of the person, the history of the person, the smoking history of the person, the family history of the person. And if the clinician, the doctor, doesn't do those screening x-rays, or if they're done, and the x-ray is overlooked, and there is a lesion there, then that will be the basis for a lawsuit.

What medical errors can lead to pancreatic cancer?

Pancreatic cancer in some instances can lead to lawsuits. In some instances the type of cancer is such that there really is nothing that can be done for it. In those instances, where the cancer is located in the particular portion of the pancreas, it is subject to what is known as a whipple procedure, a procedure where the pancreas is surgically addressed and the cancer is erraticated. And the timing of the diagnosis is critical in those instances. And if the doctor doesn't recognize the symptoms that the patient is having and act upon them, that often can lead to a lawsuit.

What medical errors can lead to prostate cancer?

Prostate Cancer is a peculiar type of cancer, in that there are standard tests that are done. Screening tests to see whether there is an additional cancer. The PSA test, is the usual test there's a Pre-PSA test also done and there's a whole level of 4.0's the cut off point when caution needs to be exerted by the physician. And I've seen cases where the prostate has gone, the PSA has gone as high as 18 and the doctors for some reason just over look it and they don't see it. The report gets in the doctor's file. The patient is never contacted, and then when symptoms really start developing, it's too late. I'm Steven North. I specialize in medical malpractice litigation.

What medical errors can lead to skin cancer?

There are various types of skin cancer, squamous cell cancer, basal cell cancer, and melanoma. Melanoma is the most serious and if not picked up timely and treated, death is almost inevitable. And the clinician must appreciate a lesion that presents it's self under certain cicumstances and be sure to biopsy it and then even if surgery is done, to be sure that free margins are obtained and If they do excise that lesion, that they do get all of it and confirm pathologically that they have all of it. When these things don't happen, there's a very serious lawsuit that follows.

Cerebral palsy is the result of lack of oxygen to the brain. When it happens in childbirth or in the neo-natal period, it's often a result of the fetal heart rate dropping significantly and thereby producing less oxygen in the blood getting to the brain.

What is anesthesia negligence?

When somebody undergoes surgery, as we know in many instances, their whole breathing system is put in the hands of an anesthesiologist who has to monitor it very carefully. If that isn't done, if the patient starts exhibiting signs of failure of blood pressure, failure of systems, they can be brought back very promptly but if the anesthesiologist is not paying attention, is not alert enough, that can be devastating. I have a case right now involving an airway that wasn't properly managed during the course of anesthesia. It was twisted, the patient lost oxygen and suffered severe brain damage and ultimately death. I'm Steven North. I specialize in medical malpractice litigation.

Who do I sue after anesthesia negligence?

Often when there’s anesthesia malpractice in New York, the anesthesiologist is the prime party that is sued. And in order to determine exactly who the anesthesiologist and/or the assistant, the medical records have to be obtained and reviewed and the persons identified. Often the hospital as well will be a party to that lawsuit. And sometimes the surgeon too, depending upon the circumstances. There are people in that operating room, and if one isn’t paying attention, others should be paying attention. So that responsibility is sometimes a shared responsibility by all the healthcare providers in that operative suite. I’m Steven North, I specialize in medical malpractice litigation.

Can birth injuries be prevented?

Many birth injuries can be prevented. And it goes directly to the level of care that's provided by our physicians and our hospitals, Many times doctors, or people that are in charge of the pre-natal care, for a mother who's expecting a child don't do what they're supposed to do. They don't monitor the mother's blood sugar. They don't determine whether she's diabetic and going to have a large baby that won't fit through the birth canal. These are very important things that have to be done. If a baby's too large and can't fit through the birth canal and a cesarean section is not performed, it's a formula for disaster. And many times will end up with trauma to the child, it can cause death, cerebral palsy, brain damage. I'm attorney Tom Kiley.

Are accidents from auto defects common?

Many times in auto accidents either the cause of the accident or the enhanced injury occurs as the result of the defective or faulty design of the vehicle itself. Unfortunately, most of the time that people are involved in single car accidents they have no idea the vehicle cause contributed to it. Many of these cases are never pursued. They never end up in the hands of lawyers. The thing to look for is, in SUVs, high center of gravity , the ability of the vehicle to roll over easily, such as the 15 passenger vans, failure of seatbelts, roof fall in event the vehicle rolls over, defective air bag - the air bag deploys but doesn't deploy at the appropriate time, protecting their occupant.

What are some common child safety hazards in cars?

With respect to automobile safety, there are particular hazards that apply to children. They have to be restrained. Many times there are defective seat belts that upon impact release and the child is ejected from the vehicle. Or they are sitting in a child safety seat, that's inadequately designed or a manufacturing flaw, that will allow the child to be ejected from the vehicle. Once a child is ejected from a vehicle, the seriousness of the injuries increase dramatically because the child does not have the safety of being contained within the vehicle itself. These injures many times devastating. If they don't cause death they can cause spinal cord injury, brain injury or paralysis. I'm attorney Tom Kiley. I've been representing the seriously injured and their families, in Massachusetts, for over three decades.

Are child safety seat defects common?

Over the last decade or so there have been tremendous advances in the design of child seats. They are much safer today than they were two decades ago. But, still every once in a while, we come across one that is fully designed or is defective and it allows the child to be in the vehicle basically unrestrained and many times ejected with serious consequences.

Are accidents from tire defects still common?

Tire defects are still a problem on roads in the United States today. They're hard to prevent against because tread separation just happens sometimes spontaneously. And no inspection of the tire by a lay person would really reveal that there's a risk of something happening. Once the tire fails, the vehicle is susceptible to going off the road, rolling over and causing serious, catastrophic injury to occupants or bystanders. I'm attorney Tom Kiley.

Why are large passenger vans prone to accidents?

The most dangerous vehicle in my experience on the road today is surprising to most people. It's a fifteen passenger van. It has a high center of gravity and once it's loaded up with people and equipment, its handling characteristics change and in bad weather or emergency maneuvers, it can fishtail and roll over. When it rolls over, because its structure is very weak, the roof collapses. When this happens, the injuries can be devastating especially with fifteen people. You have brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, paralysis and death. Most people don't realize it - these vans are out they're. They're used by schools, sports teams, hotels, livery services. People ride in them every day and they're completely unaware of the magnitude of the injuries that can occur in one of these vans. I'm attorney Tom Kiley.

Why do you advocate for children who've been injured?

As an attorney and a child safety advocate, I believe it’s my role not only to provide compensation for an individual child, an individual family that’s suffered injury as the result of a defective toy or product, but also to send the message to the industry, that they can’t get away with it. If they put profits before safety, they’re going to be held accountable, and they’re going to have to change the way they do business so this doesn’t happen to the next child. I’m attorney Tom Kylee [SP]. I’ve been representing the seriously injured and their families in Massachusetts for over three decades.

How common are injuries from children's toys?

In 2006 there were approximately 220,000 child injuries as a result of defective products that are sold in this country. They range from defective toys that present strangulation, or choking hazards to defective bicycles, ATVs, scooters, child seats, playpens just about anything you can imagine your child comes in contact with. What happens is these corporations that make these products put profit before safety. They don't care about our children. We trust them to make products that are safe and will not harm our children, and they don't follow thorough on the responsibility.

What are the potential impacts of a child's exposure to lead?

A child who is exposed to lead, especially during the formative years, can sustain brain damage, um, learning disabilities or even death depending upon the concentration of lead in their bodies and in their bloodstreams. It's very dangerous. Therefore, when it shows up in toys, it's virtually mind-boggling that, in this day and age, corporations would be so careless that they wouldn't exercise care in assuring that these toxic poisonous substances are not in our toys and hurting our children.

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.

Is a blood test the same as a breath test in California?

There are differences in California between a breath test and a blood test. In California, if you're arrested for being under the influence or the police officer's suspicion that you are, it is your choice on whether to take a breath or a blood. Now a blood test is considered the most accurate. Breath tests, we have more available ways to challenge that result. But in California, you must take either a breath or a blood test. But don't let the officer force you into taking one or the other. It's your choice. I'm Virginia Landry.

Let's use an example, you've had surgery, and in that recent surgery you've been given a muscle relaxer to help you with your pain management.

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.

What should I tell the insurance adjuster after a motorcycle accident?

After a motorcyle accident in New York, I'm going to assume that the motorcycle accident wasn't the riders fault, and it was due to some other motor vehicle error that caused the accident, caused the injuries. They get a call from an insurance adjuster and the motorcycle rider thinks that's their lifeline, that their going to get money for this accident that wasn't their fault. The insurance adjuster has a different motivation. The insurance adjuster is thinking, how can I minimize our exposure and minimize the payment we have to make on this claim, and they are trained to get you to make admissions. The best thing you can tell the adjuster is, I have an attorney, and then they will have to deal with the attorney and you are more likely to get fair compensation as quickly as possible.

Why are insurance companies such a pain to deal with?

Insurance companies are big businesses and they have share holders and owners that they have to cater to. And they are trying to make as much money as possible and they do that in part by paying out as little as possible on claims. So if an adjuster pays out less than a case is worth, that adjuster did a good job. If they hire an attorney, that is very skilled, and the accident victim has an attorney that's not so skilled, and the defense attorney for the insurance carrier wins, that's a win for the insurance company. Because the insurance company has more money in their coffers. So insurance companies try to save money by paying out as little as possible in claims. I'm Michal Proner.

What's the #1 mistake people make after a motorcycle accident?

The motorcyclist whose involved in an accident often makes the mistake of not realizing that there is a bias against him, or her. The motorcyclist thinks because I didn't do anything wrong to cause this accident, I should get fair compensation for the injuries I sustained. But the insurance adjuster says, well if there was a motorcycle involved, the motorcyclist must have done something to cause the accident and they offer less than fair compensation, resulting in an offer that's inadequate unless a skilled attorney gets involved. And that's the mistake the motorcyclist makes. I'm Mitchell Proner. If you are looking for an experienced skilled attorney to represent you or a loved one in New York, contact me today.

You're not in their good hands, you're not their good neighbor. They're a big business that's trying to make as much as possible by collecting as much as possible in premiums and paying out as little as possible in claims.

Are some car accident injuries more serious than they appear?

Normally in a car accident in New York state if somebody breaks their ankle or wrist or has a bad cut that results in scarring, they know they're badly injured and they get an attorney immediately. However, by the simple physics of a car accident, you're grabbing on to the steering wheel, you tense up, you may get a shoulder injury or a knee injury that is not diagnosed immediately, then you think it's going to go away and it doesn't go away, and eventually you need surgery for it. And then you're looking for a fair compensation because you're disabled as a result of this injury that you thought was going to go away and it didn't go away, and you're not going to get a fair compensation because it wasn't diagnosed at the time of the accident so you're better off going to a doctor giving your complaints to them immediately so it could be diagnosed. Hopefully it will be treated considerably with therapy and you'll get better. But if it's not, you need that doctor immediately and you need an attorney to get your fair compensation for the injuries you've sustained in that car accident in New York. I'm Mitchell Proner.

What should I do first after a motorcycle accident in New York?

The first thing you want to do after a motorcycle accident in New York, or anywhere in the United States, is do a quick body check. From your toes to the top of your head, "Do I feel anything?

What's the secret to getting a big auto accident settlement?

The way that insurance companies value, out of the accident cases is they look at the damage to the vehicles, and then they look at the damage to the person, and then they look at the quality of the attorney that you represent in the person. You take these three things together and that’s going to either result in a, mediocre solemn or its going to get you a good solemn. The more property damage, the more the insurance company is going to believes you have been hurt. The more the medical bills that you have, the more that represents the type of injuries you had. And the better your attorney, the harder they are going to work, to get to you a great solemn. I am Jeff Roberts, of the Roberts Law Firm.

Why representing dog bite cases are personal for me.

When I was a child, I was bitten by a dog and unfortunately my parents did not hire an attorney who specialized in dog bite cases. And they did not receive the recovery that I should have received for that case. It's one of the reasons that when I represent people that are in dog bite cases, particularly children, I fight to recover maximum recovery for them. For their injures, for their pain cause there is a great deal of pain associated with dog bites. And for scaring, particularly if it's going to be long term scaring.

What do I tell the insurance adjuster if I've been involved in a car accident?

If you've been involved in a car accident in California, the best piece of advice I can give you is that when you open the claim initially with the insurance company with the person that hit you, give them minimal information.

How do I get an order of protection in Arizona?

In Arizona, the process for obtaining an order of protection is quite simple. The person needs to go to the courthouse, ask the appropriate clerk or staff about how to fill up the paperwork. They will then fill out the paperwork, go before a judge, and the judge will evaluate, expartate which means individually without another person present the merits of the allegations against the defendant. If the judge or the commissioner feels that the order of protection is appropriate, they will grant the order of protection. And by rule of thumb, they will grant the order of protection more often than they will deny it. My name is Mike Baker of The Baker Law Firm.

How can an attorney help in my divorce in Arizona?

In Arizona, the importance of a divorce attorney is as follows: If both parties are able to agree as to their differences in the divorce, perhaps an attorney is not necessary. But if a party goes out and hires an attorney, my advice is that it is imperative that the other party hire an attorney so their rights are protected. Because if they do not hire an attorney, the things that the other attorney will do, in terms of how to settle the case, the actual knowledge that they have of the divorce statutes will inevitably have a negative effect on the other party. And therefore, the role of a divorce attorney is very important in protecting someone's rights, especially when the other party is represented by council. 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.

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.

Can I be sued for a hate crime?

You can be sued for a hate crime in Massachusetts. What I mean by this is that, if that hate crime caused another person damage, such as malicious destruction of their property or assault and battery, that type of thing. Then absolutely, the so called victim can bring a civil complaint and sue you for the damages that they sustained. The fact that it's based on a hate crime, is going to raise what they are going to look for because a hate crime is going to be an aggravating circumstance that a jury and a judge is not going to like.

How does a hate crime accusation raise the stakes in an assault case?

In Massachusetts we are very concerned about hate crimes. People are extremely sensitive to those hate crimes be it the hatred based on gender, race, sexual orientation, what have you. As a result those cases are going to first of all get more publicity and second of all be treated more harshly in the courts. It's going to be tougher. Even if in a regular assault case, for example, you might be able to get it - the case dismissed or work out a plea bargain where there is no jail, well if it's a hate crime, particularly because of the public exposure a prosecutor is going to be very reluctant -- as is the judge -- to give any kind of leniency.

What constitutes a hate crime in Massachusetts?

In Massachusetts, any crime can be elevated to a hate crime if the circumstances surrounding the offense merit it. In other words, if there is an assault case, or a malicious destruction of property, and it is done because of hatred based on race, gender, sexual orientation, that type of thing, it's going to be prosecuted as a hate crime. As a result, the sentence involved if there is a conviction in the case is going to be stiffer.

What's the #1 mistake people make after being arrested for armed assault?

The number one mistake that I see people make in assault cases, particulary assault and battery with a dangerous weapon cases, is to think that the authorities are going to see things the way they do. In other words, the defendant says "well I was justified because he said this and he said that and he got me angry and blah, blah, blah". Well the fact is, it's still a crime. But if they don't take it seriously from the beginning, they don't hire the right defense attorney to represent them seriously. And so that is the number one mistake, not taking it seriously, not hiring counsel and basically making all kinds of statements that end up hanging you down the road.

Is it a probation violation to leave the state of Massachusetts?

If you're on probation in Massachusetts, you have to do what the probation officer tells you to do. If it appears to you to be something that's unreasonable, you can hire counsel you can bring it before the judge, but absenting that you have to do what the probation officer tells you to do.

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.

How long will I go to jail for a domestic violence conviction?

In Massachusetts, domestic violence is a category, or type of crime. It's not a statutory offense. It would, however, include things like assault, assault and battery; depending upon the circumstances. However, because it's domestic violence, it's treated particularly seriously, and with a lot more sensitivity. How much time, if any, you're likely to serve in a conviction for that type of case depends on the type of case, the facts, and, frankly, your representation.

What should I do if I've been injured at work?

If someone has an injury at work the first thing they should do is, whether they think it is a significant injury or insignificant, is they should immediately report that injury to their supervisor or their direct employer.

Why doesn't the FDA remove harmful drugs from the market?

On all these matters that we are talking about, whether we are talking about fen-phen or gadolinium or any of these pharmaceuticals that are having problems in the market, the difficulty is that the FDA has a tremendous amount of staff and goes through tremendous process to decide whether something should be allowed on the market. The difficulty is that once its on the market, the FDA does not have enough staff to monitor if there are events to see if these medications should be pulled off the market. The pharmaceuticals have such power with the FDA that the consumer does really not have a fair chance. Thus, the FDA is not a real watchdog we can rely on right now. I'm attorney Jim Sokolove.

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.

In most instances, the employee and the employer are not bound by oral contract, and that is a great misconception that predominantly employees have.

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.

Should an attorney look at my employment agreement?

I believe that it is always important to hire an attorney or have an attorney review your agreement. Do you need to pay an attorney to review your agreement? Not necessarily so. But it would be my recommendation that you find an attorney, whether it be a friend or a family member, to review the language that you don't understand and have it explained to you. If you can't find someone it's worth it to spend a few hundred dollars and have an attorney review that agreement for you so that you understand it its entirety. Because many, many employees and former employees come to me and are shocked at what they had signed years and years ago and had no idea what they had signed and in fact - and in many cases hadn't even read it much less had it reviewed by an attorney.

How can I prove that I'm being sexually harassed?

The best way to prove that you've been sexually harassed is to keep documentation of what you believe to be sexual harassment and ultimately provide that to your attorney.

Are men victims of sexual harassment in the workplace?

"Men can be victims of sexual harassment. It's not as common as women and I think more importantly, men are more hesitant to come forward with claims of sexual harassment. But yes, men can be sexually harassed in the state of New York, they can be sexually harassed by women, they can be sexually harassed by men, and the most important thing is that, if you are a man, and you believe you are being sexually harassed, you need to make sure that the harasser understands that the conduct is unwanted and that you immediately thereafter let the company know. My name is Walker Harman. I'm the managing attorney of the Harman Firm. If you believe you have been a victim of illegal employment discrimination, we are eager to speak with you.

What should I NOT DO when being sexually harassed?

The number one mistake in New York that employees make when they think that they are being sexually harassed, is not to tell anyone. To not even tell the person who is sexually harassing them that they don't like the treatment, the conduct of the behavior and let it persist for a period of time such that the person might argue - well you know she was laughing at the jokes for months, how come the jokes are now offensive? You need to let the person know you don't like what is going on, you don't like the conduct, you don't like the jokes, you don't like the emails. And the second biggest mistake, in my opinion, is not letting the company know. Not filing a formal written complaint and keeping a copy. my name is Walker Harman. I am 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.

What should I do if I'm being sexually harassed?

If you believe you're being sexually harassed, the most important thing to do is to let the person who you believe is sexually harassing you know that the conduct is unwanted. Because someone cannot be held accountable for, um, conduct that they're not aware of that is, um, disapproving to another person. You've got to let them know you don't like it. The second thing is you've got to let the employer know because if you're going to hold them liable for their employee's conduct, say your boss, you've got to let the company know. So you need to go to HR, you need to file a report, you need to put it in writing, and you need to keep a copy of it. [Um] It's difficult in the first instance to know whether you're being sexually harassed but if you feel you are, let the person know you don't like it, let the company know that the person is doing something that you don't like. My name is Walker Harmon. I'm the managing attorney of the Harmon Firm. If you believe you've been the victim of illegal employment discrimination, we are eager to speak with you.

What is sexual harassment in New York?

There's no one clear definition of sexual harassment in the state of New York. It can take many forms. Essentially, it is offensive, unwanted conduct based on your gender. So, it can be a man sexually harassing a man or a woman sexually harassing a woman. And it could be subtle. It just has to be because of your gender. That's why it's sexual harassment. If someone's just being mean to you, that's probably not sexual harassment. My name is Walker Harman. I'm the Managing Attorney of the Harman Firm.

Will a sexual harassment case be in my employment record?

I’m often asked how a sexual harassment claim or complaint, um, could show up later in an employee’s employment record. And there’s really no, uh, simple answer to that question. Um, it depends on whether there was a lawsuit filed, in which case, um, often times, um, that claim of harassment, will be kept confidential. Um, most em-, employers, uh, say that they will keep claims confidential. In my experience they don’t live up to that promise. So, walk through your particular situation with an attorney and express your concerns, and have the attorney guide you through the process of keeping, um, your particular claim, um, as confidential as possible.

If you are afraid of retribution in the workplace, you have to make a choice. Are you going to suffer through the sexual harrasment and potentially ruin what could be a good case against your company or are you going to take action. Let your company know.

What defines workplace sexual harassment in New York?

Sexual harassment in the New York workplace can take many forms. It can be subtle; light, unwanted touch. Or it can be overt such as an invitation for sexual activity. It can be between people of the same gender. It can be between a boss and a secretary. It can be between two similarly situated employees. And what many people don't know is that you can actually be sexually harassed by someone who doesn't even work in your company and that your boss or your employer has a duty to prevent, say, a client of the company from continuing to sexually harass you or an outsourced person coming in from sexually harassing you. And that's a common misunderstanding and misconception. It doesn't even have to be an employee that's sexually harassing you. My name is Walker Harman. I'm the Managing Attorney of the Harman Firm.

Why is sexual harassment in college so damaging?

Sexual harassment on a college campus, particularly if the student is the victim of the harassment, can be so damaging because college is oftentimes the beginning of someone's career, and more importantly in a sense the beginning of one's adult life. If your college career is destroyed by a professor who's out of control, and pursuing you sexually, and you don't make the grades that you should have gotten, or you don't get the special honors degree that you should have gotten, your whole life can change.

Who's the #1 sexual harassment victim in college?

In my experience, the most common victim of sexual harassment on a college campus is a student. And the harasser is oftentimes the person in power whether it be a professor, or administrator, or researcher. And the scenario arises when the person in power, the professor, is spending great deals of time alone with the student. Say there’s a mentoring program or you’re doing an independent study. So with a great deal of time alone creates a situation where the person in power can take advantage of the powerless person, the student. I find that that’s a very common scenario on a college campus. My name is Walker Harman. I am the managing attorney of the Harman Firm.

How is sexual harassment in college defined?

There is a specific statute that prevents sexual harassment on a college campus that receives federal funds. It's a federal statute. It applies in the state of New York as well. And if your particular college or university receives federal funds (the vast majority of them do,) your particular college or university will fall under the statute and it prevents any type of sexual harassment on a college campus and if the college doesn't take immediate action to prevent further sexual harassment or address or redress the sexual harassment it can be held liable for it under the federal statute.

How much money in a college sexual harassment case?

The compensation in a college sexual harrassent case is more difficult to assess. It depends often on the emotional injuries that the particular student, for instance, has suffered. So it would depend on how bad, for instance, the sexual harrasment was. Was there forced sexual activity? That would be a case where there might be higher emotional injuries and therefore higher damages. So it's really difficult to assess that. And I would recommend to anyone that believes they're being sexual harrased on a college campus seek the advice of an attorney so that they can help you assess whether you have a case, in the first instance and also what kind of damages could could evolve out of that case.

Is my professor guilty of sexual harassment?

If your not certain whether the attention you're receiving from your professor is sexual harassment, you should first talk to the professor and explain that the attention you're receiving, whether it be an invitation to dinner or whether it be just merely sitting too close, is not the kind of attention you want. If the professor, for instance, doesn't stop you need to follow your schools procedures and make a formal written complaint regarding the professor's conduct. And you should do so expeditiously and you should put it in writing and as I always say, keep a copy of it. My name is Walker Harmon. I'm the managing attorney of the Harmon Firm.

How much money in a workplace sexual harassment case?

In your typical discrimination case, which includes sexual harassment, racist discrimination, gender discrimination, the primary one is economic loss. That's your loss to pay either while working at the job, meaning they failed to pay you as much as you were entitled to or after you were terminated and that's the money that you lost while you weren't working. The second is emotional injuries, pain and suffering, and that will greatly depend on, of course, how much you suffered and whether you sought psychologial or psychiatric treatment for that suffering. And there are also other types of damages that you can seek as well, such as, in certain limited cases, punitive damages and also attorney's fees. My name is Walker Harmon.

Why should I file a class-action lawsuit against an employer?

You would participate as an employee or former employee in a class action lawsuit if an attorney determined that there was a group large enough to constitute a class. A judge also has to certify a class, an attorney would file a lawsuit with representatives and ask the judge to certify it as a class. Um, you as an individual wouldn't have that right but you would often be advantaged by participating in a class, and if you were offered that opportunity you should certainly consult with an attorney about your rights participating in the class, and then your rights opting out and pursuing your claim individually.

What is an employment class action lawsuit?

In the employment contacts a class action law suit is most often times involving wage and hours issues - where your employer hasn’t paid you overtime, or hasn’t paid you time and a half for that overtime, or in the state of New York hasn’t offered you the lunch break and certain deals that you’re entitled to. If that employer has treated a certain group of employees, say all of the secretaries who are paid hourly, the same way you can take certain of those employees and have them be representative of a class, which is the group of secretaries. And that is essentially what an employment related class action is. It can also arise in the discrimination context. But you need to have a class.

Should I give an accident statement to an insurance adjuster?

After you’re involved in a car accident in New York, the insurance adjuster that contacts you and wants to take a statement is looking to protect their interest, not yours. And when they take that statement, they’re trained to get you to make admissions, against your interest because that will help them to minimize the payments that they make on these claims. The best thing you can do is to tell them you have an attorney, and then the attorney will get the facts straight with them before you say anything that’s going to minimize the amount of money that you’re entitled to after your accident.

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?"

Are my medical bills covered after a motorcycle accident in NY?

After a motorcycle accident in New York state, your medical bills will not be covered under your motorcycle insurance because motorcycles were excluded from the no-fault coverage under section 5102 of the Insurance Bill in 1972 and again in 1977.

What happens in a car accident with an uninsured driver?

If you're involved in a car accident and the other vehicle is uninsured, by law in New York State you're required to have uninsured motorist coverage. In addition if the other vehicle had less insurance than you had,you're entitled to make a claim through what's called SUM coverage - Supplemental uninsured motorist coverage. So my advice is to purchase as much SUM coverage as you can afford, because that's the coverage that's going to protect you if the other vehicle is insured or underinsured.

Who's the right attorney for a serious car accident victim?

First thing you wanna do is find an experienced attorney. You don't want an attorney going through the school on your case. A lot of attorneys out there may be experience but their experience might be in real estate closings and adoptions and divorces and criminal cases and they tell you "Sure, I can handle your claim. I've done dozens of claims just like yours." But if they don't have the specialized knowledge and actually presenting, trying, doing appeals, and handling all aspects of personal injury plaintiffs work then you're probably better off in the hands of a skilled practitioner that does have that specialized knowledge.

What is considered a trip and fall injury in New York?

In a trip and fall accident in New York, in order to be compensated, it's not enough that you sustained injuries, you also have to show that the owner of the premises has some sort of fault for the injuries. That could be, by the nature of the defect that caused the fall. For example, a chipped stairway can cause somebody to fall and sustain injuries. Or it could be a loosed handrail that causes somebody to sustain injuries. If there is a defect that causes injury and the defect is not of a transient nature, which means it can't be somebody just dropped a coca cola right before you slipped, then you're entitled to be compensated for the injuries sustained by the fault of the land owner.

How much does a car accident attorney cost in New York?

After a car accident in New York State, most attorneys that handle this type of work will do it on a contingency fee basis, where they will get paid at the end of your claim a percentage, normally a third in New York State of the ultimate recovery. That’s after paying the expenses, they get their third. Normally, they are going to increase the ultimate recovery far more than their third which is going to end up in a greater amount of money in your pocket then if you tried to handle the case on your own.

What to do if I'm a victim of pregnancy discrimination?

"The first thing that you should do if you believe that you are a victim of pregnancy discrimination and you are still employed, is to make a formal, written compliant to your supervisor, or the HR department, or whomever is in control in your working environment. If you are no longer employed, you can still make a formal, written complaint but you should probably seek the advice of an attorney because it is unlikely if you have been terminated because you are pregnant that an employer is going to rehire you simply because you have made a written, formal complaint.

How much money in gender discrimination cases?

Damages in gender discrimination cases are assessed in much the same way damages are assessed in race discrimination cases or age discrimination cases. You get your lost pay, so if you're demoted and you prove that you've been discriminated against because of your gender, you get the difference between what you should have been paid and the pay you were demoted to. You're terminated and you prove that you've discriminated against because of your gender, you get a stream of lost income going into the future, not indefinitely but up until you get a job, for a reasonable period of time. You're also entitled to emotional injuries and other types of injuries such as, perhaps, in certain instances punitive damages and attorney's fees. My name is Walker Harman.

If you believe you’re the victim of gender discrimination, as in most instances, the first thing you should do is put your complaint in writing and file it with the Human Resource department or some other supervisor or office manager within your company. The important thing about a complaint of gender discrimination is that you be as specific as possible. Why is it that you believe that you were subject to gender discrimination?

Pregnancy discrimination in the state of New York is more common than one would think. People are often shocked to know how many cases I've taken on where a woman has gotten pregnant, informed her employer and been terminated.

Do employers have to accomodate my pregnancy in NY?

I’m often asked by a woman who’s become pregnant what her rights are in the state of New York. And there’s not a simple answer to that question. It’s governed by state statutes and federal statutes, and most importantly by the employer’s guidelines as well. What an employer can’t do is treat you differently because you are pregnant. A common misconception is that if you have complications because of your pregnancy you are also, under New York State Law, temporarily disabled. So, for instance, if you have thrombosis you are not only pregnant but you are also temporarily disabled which would trigger both gender discrimination laws in the state of New York as well as anti- discrimination laws based on disability. So, my best advice to a woman who has become pregnant and believes she is suffering adverse treatment in the workplace is to seek out the advice of an attorney as soon as possible. My name is Walker Harman. I am the managing attorney of the Harman Firm. If you believe that you’ve been the victim of illegal employment discrimination, we are eager to speak to you!

Must employers in California accomodate my pregnancy?

Employers must reasonably accommodate pregnancies in California. These accommodations can range from allowing an employee to go to their doctors' visits, whether they be routine visits or visits with a specialist. They also need to accommodate any special needs in the workplace. So, whether there's a restriction to not lift over a certain number of pounds or an employee needs additional breaks to eat consistently or an employee has morning sickness and needs time to come in to work late, employers must accommodate those needs.

What's the wrong way to deal with workplace discrimination?

The number one mistake someone can make if they think they’re being discriminated against in the workplace is to, um, not immediately file a written complaint about it. Allowing it to persist even for a few days is a mistake. Uh, you should immediately go to a supervisor, or to the human resource department, or to an office manager, and put that complaint, um, about discrimination in writing and keep a copy of it. If you email it, send a copy to your home email address. Don’t assume that you’ll at some time later get a copy of it. Often times employer’s think to lose them. My name is Walker Harman.

How common is race discrimination in New York?

I find that race discrimination in New York City is far more common than one would think. New York City is a perceived progressive environment. However, it's a collision of a variety of different people from all over the world. And what people don't realize is that race discrimination is not just a white or Caucasian person discriminating against a Black or a person of color. It could be a Puerto Rican person discriminating against a person from Jamaica solely because they are from Jamaica. So I find that more and more of my race discrimination cases are not your typical case where there is a Caucasian or white person discriminating against a person of color; but it's more hybrid scenario, and that's because there are so many different people colliding in New York from all different parts of the world.

How can I prove sexual orientation discrimination?

The best way to prove that you've been a victim of sexual orientation discrimination is to file a written, formal complaint with your employer specifically detailing why it is that you believe you are the victim of sexual orientation discrimination. You should also keep a log or a journal of the instances in which you believe you've been the victim of sexual orientation discrimination. Sexual orientation discrimination, like gender discrimination, can be very subtle. It's often the scenario of taking advantage of the perceived weak employee. I found it can take very, very subtle forms over long periods of time. I recommend to employees to write everything down. Every instance. The dates, the times, exactly what happened to them so that if you do need to file a lawsuit, that you have all of that documentation available to provide to your attorney. My name is Walker Harmon.

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.
