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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. I'm Carl Person. I'm a New York lawyer and my job is to help people stay in their homes.

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.

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.

Can I defend my own mortgage foreclosure?

The question often arises whether somebody should defend a mortgage foreclosure action himself or herself, particularly when they don't have money. I say to these people this: stop paying your mortgage when you know you're going to start having trouble in the future. You're going to have enough money then to hire a lawyer. Don't do it yourself! Because it's so tricky, even for a lawyer, that you don't want to be - run the risk of losing your property. Hire a lawyer and do it quickly.

You're not going to steal from a gas station to pay your mortgage nor should you steal from your retirement or from your credit cards.

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.

What is my first line of defense against mortgage foreclosure?

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.

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 do loan kickers contribute to mortgage foreclosures?

Loan kickers contribute to mortgage foreclosures because the bank sets up a loan in such a way that a foreclosure is generally expected, and therefore, we ought to take away those things in a mortgage that contribute to the foreclosures.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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. I'm Carl Person, a New York lawyer, and a fighter to keep people in their homes.

What is a mortgage kicker?

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

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.

What should I do if I received a foreclosure notice?

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. Make sure you know when the answer is due and then call an attorney, choose an attorney to defend yourself by filing an answer, possibly with counter claims, to be able to assert the reasons why you're defending the foreclosure suit.

When is it too late to mount a foreclosure defense?

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

Are loans modifications common in New York?

In New York, a loan modification is the desire of both sides when you have a forclosure. 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.

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.

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. I'm Carl Person. I'm a New York lawyer and my job is to help people stay in their homes.

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.

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.

How long do I have to respond to a foreclosure notice in NY?

When a person is sued for foreclosure, they receive a summons and complaint, and a person has 20 days in which to answer by filing an answer in court. So, you have a 20 day period after the service of a summons and complaint. There are some exceptions that make it a little bit longer, but don't rely on exceptions. Think of 20 days. And that's not 20 business days, it's 20 days. I'm Carl Person. I'm a New York lawyer and my job is to help people stay in their homes.

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.

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.

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."

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. You don't pay during the 14 months of the foreclosure proceeding and you make the bank come to the bargaining table and hopefully get an agreement.

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.

But that is not what you really want to do.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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. 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 is workplace discrimination in New York?

Workplace discrimination in New York is governed by statute and you have been or are being discriminated against if you fall within a protected class.

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.

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.

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? Is anything bothering me? Is anything tingling? Is anything hurting? Am I in pain anywhere?" And if you feel any symptoms, you want somebody to contact an ambulance and go to a hospital and get yourself checked out. Even though you might be concerned about the cost of that ambulance ride and the cost of that hospital visit, it's more important to get your health taken care than to worry about what happens to your bike afterwards.

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.

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."

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.

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

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. I'm Mitchell Proner. If you're looking for an experienced, skilled attorney to represent you or a loved one in New York, contact me today.

What laws protect me from workplace harassment in New York?

There are no laws in New York that prevent an employee from being harassed in the state of New York. It's a common misunderstanding that many employees have, they believe that if their boss is being rude to them, is being hostile to them, is giving them more work than someone else, that that is legal. I often receive phone calls by people who believe that they have a cause of action for wrongful termination. There's no such thing as wrongful termination in New York, it's a broad term that is used to describe employment discrimination, but it does not protect someone who is just merely being harassed in the workplace. My name is Walker Harman, I'm the managing attorney of the Harman Firm. If you believe you've been the victim of illegal employment discrimination we are eager to speak with you. Please give us a call.

Why do surgical mistakes still occur in New York?

Surgical mistakes in New York often are a function of something going awry during the course of the surgery. It may be the lack of skill of the doctor; usually that’s not the case. It’s just as any of us can have an accident, make a mistake, it happens. These things happen sometimes. And there are such gross mistakes where the surgery is performed in the wrong location. But for the most part, it’s a function of life that these mistakes happen. And when people are seriously injured by that, the New York courts are designed to address those injuries. 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 I sue if I've been injured in a fire in New York?

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.

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.

I just lost my job! How can I keep my home?

If a person who has just lost his job wants to save his home, there is two things to do. Number one, tell the bank that you can't pay the mortgage the way it is and ask for a modification agreement. The bank sometimes will agree and other times not. If the bank refuses to agree to a modification, then stop paying the mortgage. Precipitate a lawsuit. Defend the lawsuit, and then you will have a better chance of reaching the modification that you want. I'm Carl Person. I'm New York lawyer, and my job is to help people stay in 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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 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.

Motorcycle accidents have always been a significant portion of the accidents in New York, of all motor vehicle accidents. Currently they're not on the rise, but they are on the rise in certain demographics. The Baby-Boomers because perhaps they are returning to motorcycling after not having ridden a motorcyle or taking up the sport for the first time. They have an increased prevalence of accidents and most times, the motorcyclist, regardles of whether more accidents or less accidents, the motorcyclist is rarely at fault for the accident in a two vehicle scenario.

Are car accidents on the rise in New York?

With increased traffic you're going to have increased motor vehicles accidents. And that certainly is a significant factor and has continued with increased motor vehicle accidents probably since motor vehicles were on the streets since horse and buggy days. Nonetheless, the increase is not statistically significant for the last five to ten years. And additionally, thankfully, motor vehicles are getting safer with airbags and safety restraint systems. So even though there may be an increase in motor vehicles accidents, there's a decrease in significant injuries. Which is lucky. I's Mitchell Proner.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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. Motorcycles were excluded from no-fault, so your medical bills will only be covered under your personal health insurance initially, and from the party at fault ultimately at the end of the claim when it's settled either with an insurance company or in front of a jury.

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.

Are lost wages covered after a motorcycle accident in NY?

After a motorcycle accident in New York, lost wages are not covered under the motorcycle's insurance policy because motorcycles were excluded from the no fault law. Consequently, lost wages will ultimately be realized by the party at fault through their insurance carrier, but that's going to be at the end of the claim, not at the onset. So, if you have lost wages after a motorcycle accident, you can either get that money for your lost wages through either your employer's disability policy, or in the alternative, if the accident happened while you were working, you are entitled to lost wages through a workman's comp claim.

How much money can I collect from a car accident in New York?

After a car accident in New York if you're expecting to get significant money, the only way you're going to get that is if you're entitled to it and you have a skilled attorney working for you and you've sustained significant injuries. If your injuries are minimal, you're not going to get much money because even if you have a skilled attorney working for you and they get a tremendous amount of money from a jury, it's going to go up on appeal and you'll never see that money because your injuries aren't that significant. But if you've had significant injuries you could get serious money if you have a serious attorney working for you. I'm Mitchell Proner.

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.

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 motorcycle accident victim?

Motorcycle accidents are different than other cases because there is an inherent bias towards motorcycles that people don't have for drivers of cars or other motor vehicles. Consequently, you want an attorney that is experienced specifically in handling motorcycle accident cases, because that attorney is going to understand two things. Number one: they are going to understand the bias against the motorcyclist. Number two: they are going to understand the different physics involved in a motorcycle accident, and can use that knowledge of the physics involved in a motorcycle accident to present your case in a light most favorable to you to get you as much money as possible as quickly as possible.

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 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.

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.

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.

Is predatory lending a growing problem?

Predatory lending is a growing problem in California, it really is. California, along with Nevada and Florida, were some of the hardest hit states in our union. Here in southern California in particular, my partner and myself often refer to it as ground zero because so many predatory loans, sub-prime type loans, were originated right here in southern California.

Can I keep my house if I'm a predatory lending victim?

Whether you can keep your house if you're a victim of predatory lending depends. We've seen people who have lost their house because they were unaware of what their rights are or were, and by the time they found out it was too late, the lenders had already foreclosed and have taken their home. 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. And one of the ways in which you can keep your house is if you hire an attorney who's skilled in this area of law, who can exercise your rights and help you keep your home. 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.

What are the psychological benefits of a debt settlement?

The feeling you get or the feeling I get when helping someone settle their unsecure debt it's hard to put into words because you have a client who's come to you, they are in a hard way, they are in financial dire straits and they can't make that next mortgage payment, buy groceries even and at the end of our program you talk to that same consumer and they have a renewed sense of confidence you know.

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.

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. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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. If you're looking for an experienced skilled attorney to represent you or a loved one in New York, contact me today.

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.

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.

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.

Should I give an accident statement to an insurance adjuster?

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.

Am I bound by an oral contract?

In most instances, the employee and the employer are not bound by oral contract, and that is a great misconception that predominantly employees have. For instance, if your boss says, "If you work till the end of the year, I guarantee you a bonus of ten thousand dollars," that is not a binding contract in the state of New York. And many employees are shocked to learn that.

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.

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.

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 car accident in NY?

The mistake the individual that's involved in a car accident makes if they've sustained injuries, is they believe that they will be treated fairly by the insurance carrier.

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. So, they don't offer you fair compensation unless a skilled attorney gets involved.

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. My name is Walker Harman. I'm the managing attorney of the Harman Firm. If you believe you've been the victim of illegal employment discrimination, we are eager to speak with you.

What is a typical employment class action lawsuit?

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

Is an insurance adjuster on my side after an accident?

The insurance adjuster is trained to get you to make admissions against your interest. So, the best thing to tell an insurance adjuster is, "I have an attorney. I'll be more than happy to give you a statement. You just have to clear it with my attorney". Then the insurance adjuster, by law, cannot deal with you directly. They have to go through your attorney and your interest will be protected. I'm Mithcell Proner.

How can I get a bigger car accident settlement?

If you believe you're not getting fair compensation offered to you after an auto accident, for the injuries you've sustained, you need to document your injuries by making sure you're in a care of a skilled medical provider, and that you have an attorney that can use that evidence to present to an insurance carrier, or to a jury, if the case untimely goes to trial, to get you the type of fair compensation you are entitled to. By getting your losses documented, you will be entitled to more money from either an insurance adjuster or a jury if you have a skilled attorney working on your behalf. I'm Michele Proner, if you are looking for an experienced, skilled attorney, to represent you, or a loved one in New York, contact me today.

Do most car accident lawsuits settle of go to trial?

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

What is 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. In other words you need to have a large group of similarly situation people. My name is Walker Harman. I am the managing attorney of the Harman Firm.

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.

One of the most common types of birth injuries is something known as Erb's Palsy, or Klumpke's Palsy and that involves injury to the brachial plexus, the nerve complex in the shoulder and the chest that sometimes is stretched during the course of the delivery and the consequence of that is that may severely affect the mobility of a particular arm of the child. That can be a permanent, lifelong condition and the child may go through life without use of a particular limb. I'm Steven North. I specialize in medical malpractice litigation.

What problems can anesthesia negligence lead to?

From what I see is in negligence, the most serious injury is a lack of oxygen to the brain. Just like with the cerebral palsy case, which is a function of lack of oxygen to the brain, brain damage is just about the most serious injury anybody can suffer. That will affect their entire being for the rest of their life. I'm Steven North. I specialize in medical malpractice litigation.

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.

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.

What is a commission clause in an employment agreement?

A commission clause in an employment agreement is going to govern how you are compensated in part and often times they can be very vague and the employer can interpret it, so you need an attorney to really help you negotiate very specific terms of all your compensation that is within your employment contract so that you're very clear on what you're entitled to at the end of the year, whether it be commission, bonus or salary.

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.

There is no bright line but you have a very brief window of time in which to claim, for instance, that you were forced to sign a contract, an employment agreement, etcetera, under duress. Um, if you felt you were forced to sign something under duress, you should contact an attorney and have that attorney assess the situation. My name is Walker Harman.

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.

What should I NOT DO regarding employment agreements?

The number one mistake someone makes when it comes to employment agreements is first not reading it themselves and secondly not having it reviewed by an attorney so that they fully understand every aspect of the agreement. I find that many employees are so excited when they first get a job that they shove aside the agreement and sign it without thinking about it, assuming that everything would be fine with their employment, and when it comes to their compensation at the end of the year, or when it comes to a situation that results in a separation of the employment. They are shocked to learn about how limited their rights are in the different respects pursuant to the agreementthat they sign five years.

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. You need to file a formal, written complaint with your company. You need to keep a copy of it. If you email it, email a copy to your personal account. Also, keep a log. If the conduct continues, if someone's harassing you on a daily basis, keep a journal of it; the dates, the times, the places. Your attorney will want that information in order to help you build your case of sexual harassment against your employer. My name is Walker Harman.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

What is employment discrimination?

Employment discrimination is when your employer has subjected you to an adverse employment action with discriminatory animous. Meaning they had a discriminatory reason why they did something to you that made your workplace worse. They could demote you. They could terminate you. They could cut your pay, not give you your bonus. Put you deliberately in a hostile work environment.

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.

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? You need to provide particulars. It’s a subtle type of discrimination and it will be more easily assessed by the company, and a potential attorney, if you provide as much detail as possible. My name is Walker Harman. I’m the managing attorney of the Harman firm. If you believe you’ve been a victim of illegal employment discrimination, we are eager to speak with you!

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 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.

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.

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.

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. Even with all the advancements that we see, the technological advancements with regard to manufacturing, manufacturers make profits on cars when they are using a 20 or 30 year old platform. Even though you have a new body on the car, and it looks like you have a new car, often times behind the skin of that vehicle you're driving a 30 year old car. Hi my name's Brian Chase.

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.
