Why do accidents happen on the Metro Link in California?

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

Can I be arrested for drug paraphernalia but no drugs in Arizona?

In Arizona, you can be arrested for having drug paraphernalia, even if you don't have the actual substance. What the police and what the state will intend to prove is that there is some amount of residue of the actual substance on the drug paraphernalia, that can be included on a pipe, that can be as little as a very small amount of marijuana in a marijuana cigarette. The state will charge a drug paraphernalia charge as a class six felony or a class one misdemeanor, both of which could carry anywhere of a sentence from six months in jail to a year in prison. Arizona takes these crimes very seriously. My name is Mike Baker of the Baker Law Firm.

What should I do if I had taken Digitech?

Why was Digitech pulled off of the drug market?

Some people were prescribed and took Digitek. This is one of the great, terrible travesties that ever happened, because the Digitek that was sold was twice the strength of the Digitek that was approved. The FDA didn't bless this drug. The FDA blessed a drug that was half this strength, and it caused massive problems: heart attack, stroke, etc. And so the Digitek cases are very, very important. Once the FDA notified the company who makes Digitek that they are putting out the wrong stuff, it took them like a year and a half to finally withdraw from the market. Can you believe that sort of conduct? My name is Tom Girardi. I'm the senior partner of Girardi/Keese. For the past 44 years, we have helped people in California who've been seriously harmed.

How much money could I receive in a Byetta lawsuit?

Sometimes people say, "How much money am I going to get if I were injured by Byetta for example?" And the answer is, "I don't know." The truthful answer is that you are going to get the money that is permitted under the law. And that's going to depend upon various things. It's going to depend upon the disability that you are left with. It's going to depend upon what happened to you because of the Byetta, and the losses that you have sustained. And you know what good lawyers do? They want to get you everything you are entitled to. You know what good lawyers do? They don't want to get you anything you are not entitled to.

What should I look for in a lawyer to help me in a Ortho Novum lawsuit?

You know there a million lawyers out there. And sometimes somebody says "what should I do, throw a dart? Uh, get the yellow pages and you know, get a guy whose name begins with 'A', or whatever?" And the answer is you have to do some research. You know the one thing that has happened to the law is that situations like this are giving people an opportunity to understand what various lawyers do. It doesn't make any difference if I'm a wonderful probate lawyer if you don't have a probate problem. And if you have an ortho novum problem, no matter how good the lawyer is on corporate analysis, that person's not going to be able to help you either. So it's the idea that people now are beginning to understand what lawyers do, to get background information on them, gives them the way to get some justice. My name is Tom Girardi.

Why don't gas stations in California regulate the hot gas problem?

California gas stations don't have pump regulators because they don't want to. They can claim that, "Oh my goodness, we can't do this because of the weights and measures," or whatever the song and dance is. And as a matter of fact is, this particular matter has been brought to the attention of some legislators.

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.

Are car accidents on the rise in California?

I wouldn't say that car accidents are on the rise. In fact, I think that there's more of a prevalence of people being more careful now. Particularly in California, they've recently passed a law that requires you to wear a headpiece when you use a phone, which I'm seeing a lot of drivers using. I understand that insurance companies are reporting that auto accidents are down because they're using a lot more driver safety programs, particularly with their newer drivers that are coming on to their programs. So, there's not an abundance of more accidents. I'm Jeff Roberts of the Roberts Law Firm, a full service, personal injury law firm in Southern California.

Does a bank have to modify my loan in California?

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

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 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.

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 do hot gas ripoffs affect our California gas taxes?

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

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

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

Who's the most common victim of a dog attack in California?

Speaking from experience I can tell you that children are most likely to be attacked by a dog. I myself was attacked by a dog when I was a child. Predominantly what happens is another child takes their family dog out to the park and doesn't realize that the dog can become agitated around children. It's a very dangerous situation, but children are the ones that are most susceptible to dog attacks, particularly because they are at the height of the dog.

What is the purpose of the hot gas class action lawsuit?

The real purpose of the "Hot Gas Class Action" is for you. I'm not kidding you on this one. You see, let's suppose someone's been cheated out of two hundred dollars a year by these gas stations, or five hundred dollars a year. Obviously, you could never go and file a lawsuit for two hundred dollars, it would cost more than that to file the case. So, the only way that this works is a class action lawsuit in which all the people who've been wronged, namely everybody who buys gas warmer than sixty-two degrees, that there is some remedy for them and that's what this case is all about. To get a remedy for them and I think we're going to do well. My name is Tom Girardi. I'm the senior partner of Girardi-Keese. For the past forty-four years we have helped people in California who have been seriously harmed. I'm very proud of the work we've done and the role that we've played.

How is it that I'm getting cheated at the gas pump due to hot gas?

You know, let me tell you how you're being cheated. If you get say, 30 miles to the gallon, when it's hot outside, you get ten gallons of gas but you don't get ten gallons of energy. And if you get 30 miles to the gallon, you're only going to get 26. On the other hand, all they would have to do is put a little device on the pump and that would then give you a full ten gallons of real gas. And then you would get 30 miles for the ten gallons. Let me tell you this -- you won't believe this. They refuse to use those here. They use them in Canada however. Because it's cold in Canada and in Canada they can give you less than ten gallons and charge you for ten gallons. How about that? My name is Tom Girardi. I'm the senior partner of Girardi Keese. For the past 44 years, we have helped people in California who have been seriously harmed. I'm very proud of the work we've done and the role that we have played.

What is the status of the hot gas lawsuit?

You know, let me tell you a little bit about the status and progress of the case. The case is moving along very well. All these defendants came in and made a motion to dismiss the case, a hundred and seventy three of them, I think, and this courageous judge said no, that people are being harmed. This case is going forward. So that, that was a massive step. And you know what, it's one of the things that makes you very proud as a lawyer. You know, you're doing some good here. If we win this case, you won't really know it, except all of a sudden, maybe you're going to get a full ten gallons, how about that? My name is Tom Girardi. I'm the Senior Partner of Girardi Keese.

Why a class action suit, can't I just sue the oil companies myself for hot gas ripoffs?

The fact of the matter is, in many cases, the only way injustice can be changed is with a class action. Let’s suppose in this particular hot gas case, that you have been cheated out of $500 a year, $1,000 a year. There’s no way you can go bring a lawsuit to get that kind of money back because the lawsuit would cost many times that. The only way you can get justice, is with lawyers – class action lawyers, who then will represent you to change this harm and to make it right. My name is Tom Girardi.

How much money can I receive in a wrongful death lawsuit from a Metro Link accident?

One question that people would ask is how much money can I get if I'm in a MetroLink crash. And the answer to that is I don't know. The truthful answer is the law is very strict on what you're entitled to receive; what things can be claimed and what things can't be claimed. If it's a death case, for example, you're entitled to the loss of earnings that that person no longer can provide because he's no longer part of the family. Or she's no longer part of the family. You're also entitled to a sum to make up for the loss of love, care, comfort and society of the person that got killed. So in a death case that would be the measure of damages. My name is Tom Girardi. I'm the senior partner of Girardi Keese. For the past 44 years we have helped people in California who've been seriously harmed.

What is the TXI chromium contamination lawsuit?

In a law firm, we've been amazed at the carelessness the major companies destroy or throw away chemicals. A lot of these chemicals are such that they can cause massive harm to the whole community. Indeed that's what happened in the Erin Brokovitch's case. One of those worst chemicals was chromium and indeed there's another situation that is taking place out in river side with the cement manufacturing plant called TXI in which they put all these chromium into the air, right on to the surrounding houses to the plant.

How much money could I receive if I was a victim of chromium contamination from TXI?

Sometimes people will come to me and they say, well, just how much money am I going to get out of this TXI case? And you know the honest, the only honest answer is, I have no idea. Depends upon a lot of things. First of all we have to show that you lived in this area for the requisite length of time that one could get cancer because of the exposure. Secondly, you have to be situated in such a spot that in fact, you were subjected to the exposure. Thirdly, the type of cancer you have must be one of those cancers which is related to chromium. Then under the law, you may be entitled to compensation for this terrible disease. My name is Tom Girardi. I'm the senior partner of Girardi Keese.

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

one of the say of all, should I be involved in this law suit or not and the answer that question it depends. First of all, if you live in this area right in decent to the plant and you have cancer, the chances are you should look in to it. Some cancers are not really caused necessarily by a chromium. Breast cancer for example, the nexuses between breast cancer and chromium is really in dispute. Of lung bullet cancer, however, are in fact precipitated by chromium. So those are the things if somebody has problem and have lived in that area for the period of time,the thing they are really looking to it is to see that under the law it is a proper thing.

Which test hurts my DUI defense the most in California?

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

I can see that 80 percent of the cases I handle involve two breeds, Rottweiler?s and pit-bulls. Twenty years ago, I never saw a Rottweiler or pit-bull case. They were usually German Shepherds. We have a much higher percentage of the more aggressive breeds of dogs and we also have more people, dogs in smaller areas, they're more agitated, there is more chances of the dogs getting upset and actually attacking somebody.

Is predatory lending a growing problem in California?

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

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

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

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.

Can I expunge a DUI conviction in California?

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

Should I refuse to take the breath test in California?

In California, if you refuse to take a breath test, a police offer can still arrest you. There are consequences for that refusal, but the benefit is they may not be able to prove what your alcohol level was. The Department of Motor Vehicles however, if you refuse to take a test, will take away your license for a longer period of time if they can prove that you chose not to give a test to determine what the alcohol in your system was. There are legal issues that go along with that case, and we would welcome the opportunity to talk to you about what happened on your case if you refused to take a breath test. I’m Virginia Landry.

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

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

Are there pregnancy leave laws in California?

There are several laws that relate to pregnancy and leave from work in California. Some of these laws are federal laws like the family and leave act. Some are State laws like the Pregnancy Disability Leave Law in the California Family Rights Act. Each of those laws entitles the woman to take protective from work. In addition to that California has something called Paid Family Leave. This does not protect your job while you take leave from work but it does provide for partial wage reimbursement when you take another form of leave. My name is Sarah Schlehr of the Schlehr Law firm, I work to protect Californian employees from discrimination and harassment from the work place.

How can lawyers help me avoid getting ripped off at the pump from hot gas?

We all see hits on lawyers who handle these class-actions. This may come as a big surprise to you, but the people making the hits are those who defrauded, by and large, the community. You and me, when we're buying goods. For example, in this hot gas case, lawyers are working basically around the clock for you to try to get these companies who are overcharging you to make them stop doing it. You know, lawyers aren't so bad, by the way. My name is Tom Girardi. I'm the senior partner of Girardi/Keese.

How much money can I receive if I was hurt on a Metro Link train?

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

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

How many people are involved in the hot gas class action lawsuit?

The people that are part of this action are really all the people who buy gas. In other words, that's what the class action is aimed to help. That group of people in all the warm states, the southern states: California, Arizona, Nevada, who purchase gas because they're the ones that are harmed. Because here, obviously, we have a lot of days where it's warmer than sixty-two degrees outside. And if we can get these devices on these, on these pumps, it's going to save everybody thousands of dollars during the period of their car's lifetime. My name is Tom Girardi.

Is there anything that can help me from being cheated at the pump by hot gas?

You know there's a device that's in existence right now that can totally cure the problem. Doesn't cost very much, per pump it costs about 800 bucks. And what that would do is to make sure that no matter what the temperature was, you would get a full 10 gallons if you were buying 10 gallons. Now then, they refuse to use it, and you won't believe this, except in Canada where it's cold. Then they can use that device, because they can only give your baby 9.7 gallons and charge you for 10, because there it's cold and the gas molecules are closer together.

What if I've been involved in a car accident with an uninsured driver in California?

If you've been involved in a car accident in Southern California, and unfortunately the other driver is not insured, then if you have what is called "uninsured motors coverage," through your own auto insurance company, they will cover not only your medical bills, they'll also cover lost income, and pain and suffering.

What is the hot gas class action lawsuit?

If you pull up to a gas station and get ten gallons of gas and it's warmer than sixty-two degrees, due to the fact that the gas in the tank expands at Chevron or Exxon or whatever, you get ten gallons, but you don't get ten gallons of energy. As a matter of fact, if it's eighty-four degrees outside and you get ten gallons of gas and you usually get thirty miles to the gallon, you're only going to get twenty-six, so that's kind of the case. However, watch this, when Exxon goes to pay the state the gas tax, the feds the gas tax, say on ten-thousand gallons, they say you know we didn't really sell ten-thousand gallons. Temperature adjusted we only sold nine-thousand-six-hundred. They pay taxes on nine-thousand-six-hundred and then they simply keep the rest of it. And the whole idea here is that we want to get all of these gas stations to put in a gauge so you get a full ten gallons. My name is Tom Girardi. I'm the senior partner of Girardi-Keese.

Why is Southern California a hot spot for predatory lending?

California's been one of the hotspots for predatory lending because it is a state with a high population.

Especially during a time when the home prices were rising in value and a lot of homeowners were tricked and deceived into taking out a loan that was not really in their best interest and something that they're only now coming to find out was a bad, predatory loan.

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.

How long will debt settlement take in California?

A debt settlement program can take anywhere from 6 months to 4 years. How long anyone is in a debt settlement program is really going to depend on how aggressive of an approach they want to take. If they want to save more money faster and put more money into their trust account, allowing attornies the ability to negotiate their debts faster then they're going to be in them for a shorter amount of time. If they don't have a lot of disposable income then it's going to take longer, but on average anywhere from 6 months to 4 years. I'm Vincent Howard, Senior and Managing Partner of Howard Nisery. We work hard every day representing the consumer from our headquarters in Orange County, California. If you need an attorney you can trust, go ahead and give us a call.

What is a rising BAC defense in California?

The easiest way for me to explain a rising blood alcohol concentration case is, let's suppose you and your friends are out at the bar. You have watched a sporting event, and you are finishing up that last drink. Or you decide, "I want to have one for the road." You finish your last drink. You get behind the wheel of the car. And within a short period of time you are stopped by a police officer. The alcohol from that last drink has not been fully absorbed into your system yet. So it has not reached its peak concentration. So you were lower when you were driving as opposed to later when the police officer tests you by either breath or blood. I'm Virginia Landry. For the last 19 years in Orange County, I have helped when bad things happen to good people. If you have been arrested for DUI, please call.

What does intoxication technically mean in California?

Intoxication. That can mean anything the police officer wants it to mean. From a court perspective, a police officer wants to show that you have either some mental problem or a physical problem in being able to answer questions or to do field sobriety tests. Your ability to answer those questions and to do the field sobriety tests may have absolutely nothing at all to do with whether you're impaired to drive your car. I'm Virginia Landry. For the last nineteen years in Orange County, I've helped when bad things happen to good people. If you've been arrested for a DUI, please call.

What are DUI enhancement charges in California?

There are certain allegations that the law calls an "enhancement". And what that means is that a judge or a prosecutor can ask for more in regards to punishment. For instance, if you're a mother or father or you're babysitting someone who's under the age of 14, they're in a protected category and your punishment can be significantly more severe. If you refused to take a test, then the punishment can be significantly more severe. If you're driving in excess of 20 miles on a surface street or 30 miles over the posted speed limit on the highway, you could be subjected to 60 additional days in custody if you're convicted of that speed enhancement. I'm Virginia Landry. For the last 19 years in Orange County I've helped when bad things happen to good people. If you've been arrested for DUI, please call.

What should I look for in a California DUI attorney?

If you are trying to decide which DUI attorney to work with, you should be sure that the person you decide to go with, has been trained on the field sobriety test, the same way that the police officers have. You should be certain that they have done other DUI allegations. You should be certain that they're not afraid to take your case to trial. That they understand the science behind driving under the influence cases. They should own their own breath testing machine. They should be familiar with how that works. They should have a laboratory that can independently re-test those blood samples for you. I'm Virgina Landry.

What if I'm on medication during a breath test in California?

If you’re taking prescribed medication, and you’ve chosen the breath test, the medication will not have an affect on your breath result, but it could be misconstrued by the police officer as being alcohol related, as opposed to medication related on how well you’re doing on field sobriety test.

In California, if you've lost a loved one, such as a spouse, a parent, or a child, in an accident caused by the negligence of somebody else, that's called a wrongful death.

What should I do if I purchased a flat-panel TV or monitor?

The question arises as what sort of person do you put under the flat screens. And the answer is right now nothing. This case is proceeding, and you are already a part of it, and we are going see, what happens;if you are successful in the case, two things are going to happen. First, well no I am not going to do any more. That’s the most important part. Secondly, you are going to be given, perhaps the opportunity to send in receipts and to get a repayment to you for the overcharges that took place when you buy a flat panel screen. My name is Tom Girardi. I am the senior part of the “Girardi Keese”. For the past 44 years we have helped the people in California who have been seriously harmed.

Can I get money back from the flat-panel monitor price fixing lawsuit?

The question arises, “If I bought one of these flat panel monitors, am I entitled to get any money back?” And the answer is, “We have to win the case for you.” If we do win the case for you, I think there’s a darn good chance you’re going to get money back. And if we do win this case, they’re not going to do it anymore. So those are the two things that we’re focused on in this case that is before a terrific judge, Sue Elston up in San Francisco.

How can US lattorneys take on large overseas corporations in the flat-panel price fixing scheme?

The question arises once again of how can United States attorneys be involved in litigation like this which is focused on the manufacturers of flat panel screens, all of which are basically in the Asian countries. All nine of them. And the way it works is that lawyers band together in which they can focus on the harm that is created, asking the judge to certify this class to stop the injustice of their fixing prices. And we have evidence that they've had some 50 some meetings; every single one of these manufacturers was involved in these meetings, in which the only purpose of the meetings was fixing prices to sell the product to the United States consumers. My name is Tom Girardi. I'm the senior partner of Girardi Keese. For the past 44 years we have helped people in California who've been seriously harmed.

Will I lose my out-of-state license for a California DUI conviction?

If you're from out of state and you get convicted in California for a driving under the influence allegation, the Department of Motor Vehicles here in California cannot take away your driver's license capability, but they can report back to your home state. If California lets your home state know that you've been convicted out here, each individual state has their own rules that they can pretend your conviction happened in their state, so you need to work with a qualified professional in your home state to make sure that there won't be any negative conviction information that affects your ability to work at home.

You have to wait until you are done with treatment. You have to wait until you find out what kind of income you lost. You have to find what the defendant is like.

What types of injuries can be covered in a dog bite or attack claim in California?

Dog bite claims have unique injuries different from many other types of accidents. In particular, scarring. And in a dog bite claim, all medical bills can be compensated. If someone looses income due to the dog bite, they will recover their lost income. Pain and suffering, but also, as I said, scarring. Scarring, particularly, on small children causes problems later on as they get older and requires surgeries and those surgeries will be compensated as well.

Do I have any recourse if I bought a flat-panel TV or monitor?

You know, here's what this flat-panel case is all about. Once again, the most important part of it is the future, to stop doing it because we want to protect those people that are going to buy flat-panel screens tomorrow and hereafter. On the other hand, there is also a request to try to make them pay back the money that they took illegally by fixing prices of these flat-panel screens. And that's the money we're very hopeful, if we're successful, that we're going to get back to you. You know what, lawyers aren't all bad men. You can imagine a case like this, you didn't even know what happened to you. You're just down there, putting it on your credit card, going forward.

What is the status of the flat-panel screen price fixing lawsuit?

I'd like to bring you up to date on what the status of this case is with respect to price-fixing of flat panel screens. Two things have gone on. One, the civil case is proceeding. The civil case is the case in which we represent the people who bought these screens. Almost more importantly, the government is proceeding. They're proceeding, and they've actually gotten two pleas of criminal conduct by two of the manufacturers, and we think there are more to come. With that sort of pressure on these people, sooner or later they're going to have to do the right thing. One, they're not going to do it anymore, and secondly, they're going to have to pay for the amount of overcharges that they have charged you, who bought one of these things over the last three years.

Is the government involved in the flat-panel screen price fixing case?

Why are lawyers involved in this? Why wouldn't the government be involved in it? Well, you know, as luck would have it, the government is involved as well. There are criminal prosecutions going on, grand jury going on, as we speak, about the flat-panel screens that are the subject of this price-fixing movement. On the other hand, the government is working for the government. The government isn't necessarily working for the people. They're interested in fines, perhaps, for the price fixing. We're involved in changing it for the people. And, hopefully, to get money back for the people who purchased these flat-panel screens. My name is Tom Girardi. I'm the Senior Partner of Girardi/Keese.

However, if you want to make sure that you're not being convicted on fault signs, or that the police officer who's in the position of authority with you has not done something inappropriate, then, you could make a determination by not challenging something that could have a very long term affect on you and your future, for an insurance, an employment, and the ability to drive.

What qualifies as pregnancy discrimination in California?

There are many things that qualify as pregnancy discrimination in California.

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

In California, if you choose to take a breath test, you blow into a tube. That tube has air that goes through it and they take, sort of like, a snap shot of the air that is blown through the tube at any given time and they convert that to some alcohol reading that'll be used against you at the DMV and in court. The breath test monitors how many little molecules of alcohol you have in this chamber. It's not very scientific. There are ways to beat those breath testing cases, but you still are required to complete either a blood or a breath test. I'm Virginia Landry.

Are pregnancy discrimination lawsuits common in California?

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

It is also beneficial in situations where a couple is married and they set up a living trust. In the event that one of them passes, you have the ability to shelter assets from future estate taxes. I'm Lisa Allred and I'm a team member of Wealth Strategies Council. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to assist you with your estate planning, trust administration, and probate needs.

What pregnancy leave laws apply in California?

In California, several different laws apply and it also may depend on the size of the employer and the length of one's employment. Under California's Pregnancy Disability Leave Law, which is the most inclusive, women can take up to four months of leave if they are disabled because of pregnancy, child birth or a related medical condition. In addition they may be entitled to bonding leave under the California Family Right's Act. My name is Sarah Schlehr of the Schlehr Law firm. I work to protect California employees from discrimination and harassment in the workplace.

What is the Paid Family Leave law in California?

Paid family leave is a law in California that provides women with up to six weeks of partial wage reimbursement when they take leave to bond with their child. Unfortunately, paid family leave does not protect a woman's job, so women need to take protected leave under a different California law. But once they take that leave, they can receive partial wage reimbursement under the paid family leave statute in California. My name is Sara Schlehr of the Schlehr Law Firm. I work to protect California employees from discrimination and harrasment in the workplace.

Should I handle my own auto accident claim in California?

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

Must employers in California accomodate my pregnancy?

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

How long of a pregnancy leave am I entitled to in California?

In California, the leave that you can obtain because of pregnancy, depends upon variety of factors. Typically, the maximum leave that you could obtain is 7 months, and that would be if you were disabled because of pregnancy, or child birth for up to 4 months. And than you are entitled to leave to bond with your child for 12 weeks. More typically, you are entitled to less leave than the 7 months, and it can be important to get appropriate information from your employer, to determine how much leave you could obtain.

Why is Southern California so hard hit by predatory lending?

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

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

The theory of an auto accident claim is to recover your losses, so your claim is worth whatever you've lost. If you have a sprained ankle, your case is worth next to nothing.

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

If you were stopped in California for the allegation of driving under the influence, you are not required by law to do standardized sobriety tests. Because they are designed for failure, it is my suggestion, that you cordially refuse to take those tests. Be straight forward with the officers. Say 'I don't think I wanna do those tests', 'Am I required to?'. Because you are not and a lot of times the police officer will still try to get you, on the side of the road, to do those tests. But because they are designed for failure, keep that in mind and you can refuse to take standardized field sobriety tests in California. I'm Virginia Landry. For the last 19 years in Orange County, I've helped when bad things happen to good people. If you've been arrested for DUI, please call.

Is there a statute of limitations on filing a pregnancy discrimination claim in California?

There is a statute of limitations for filing a pregnancy discrimination claim in California. There are actually several statutes of limitations because a woman must first file a complaint with an administrative agency, either the Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or with the State Department of Fair Employment and Housing. After filing a complaint with either of these agencies, a woman may request an immediate right to sue and after she receives that right to sue, she has one year to file a complaint in court.

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

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

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

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

Are there non jail alternative programs for drug crimes in Arizona?

In Arizona, drug crimes often will have an opportunity to be treated outside of the jail system. In fact, all crimes that involve first-time possession of drugs in Arizona will be eligible either for a drug court program, they will be eligible for a diversion program or at the very worst a supervisory probation program that will allow that person to prove themselves outside in the community so that they do not have the stigma of being a felon in this country.

In Arizona, our typical clients are young men and women between the ages of 18 and 35 who have run afoul by getting into drugs or alcohol. Unfortunately, these persons become addicted to the substance, and then they get caught up in a criminal justice system that is designed not to give them much opportunity. What our office likes to do is give these young men and women a chance, a process to go through a diversion program or through a probationary program, so that they can move forward with their life.

You do not have the right in California to call an attorney before deciding which test to take.

What are the most common types of drug crimes in Arizona?

The most common types of drug crimes are certainly possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia related to marijuana possession such as a pipe, paper, a baggie. In Arizona, paraphernalia can include the bag that contains the marijuana just as it would be a pipe or anything else. Other common types of drug crimes include possession of methamphetamine, possession of cocaine, possession of heroine and, in some cases, possession of extasy.

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

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

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.

"In California, if you own a dog and it bites somebody, you're at fault. It's called strict liability. Your dog bites somebody, you're at fault.

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

If you’re involved in accident th-, that occurred at an intersection, the city or state may be responsible for that. There are a lot of intersections that are dangerous throughout the State of California for a whole variety of reasons. Sometimes a lack of a cross walk; lack of signage meaning you should have a stop sign, four-way stop, two-way stop; lack of intersection signals; um, a lack of lighting, there are a lot of things that cities are aware of that need to be at certain intersections that are not in place. And violation often times have their own policies and procedures and design guidelines, and there’s recourse to that.

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

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

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

If you've been involved in a car accident in California, the best piece of advice I can give you is that when you open the claim initially with the insurance company with the person that hit you, give them minimal information. That's your name, the date of the accident, and briefly where it occurred. After that, hang up. This is your opportunity to go over the case with an attorney. Find out if you need an attorney. Discuss a case with an auto accident attorney, and if that case demands that you have an attorney, that person will give all the particular information to the insurance company that needs to be communicated.

What's a common mistake people make after a car accident?

A common mistake that I see people making after they’ve been involved in an auto accident in California is that they don’t get a medical exam. They don’t go to their family doctor and receive treatment. The idea that an accident - because it was a fender bender, or because it didn’t result in a broken bone - that it didn’t result in an injury is a common mistake. And I always tell people, go to a doctor, have an examination. It will help you. I’m Jeff Roberts of the Roberts Law firm, a full service personal injury law firm in Southern California.

Who pays the claim in a dog bite case?

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

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

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

Why is elder abuse becoming more common?

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

Diversion programs are unique in the fact that they allow the individual defendent to take classes, to complete drug testing, and to be educated on their particular charge.

The reputation that insurance companies have for being hardball negotiators and being basically rotten when you are injured in a car accident is well deserved because that's when their true colors come shining through.

When I was a child, I was bitten by a dog and unfortunately my parents did not hire an attorney who specialized in dog bite cases. And they did not receive the recovery that I should have received for that case.

How badly will a DUI effect the cost of my car insurance?

Unfortunately, if you have been convicted of driving under the influence in California your insurance rates will be affected. A first-time driving under the influence allegation still entitles you to insurance, and the carriers will cover you for an increased premium. If you are a second or a multiple offender, insurance may not be able to be provided because unless you win the DMV hearing, you no longer have the ability to drive in California. If you are convicted as a multiple offender, your license will be taken away anywhere from one to four years depending upon your particular case. I'm Virginia Landry.

How much money are victims of dog bite attacks awarded?

The recovery in a dog attack law suit is just like in any other lawsuit. It's the value of your claim. It's the value of your injury. It's the value of your medical expenses. The reason why dog attack claims are higher than in other kinds of accidents is because of the nature of the wound.

What's the most common cause of motorcycle accidents?

A high percentage of motorcycle accidents are cause by vehicle drivers who just don't see the motorcyclist. They're looking for cars and trucks, they're not looking for motorcycles and they will turn right in front of them, they'll drive right into them, they just don't see them. Especially elderly drivers over 65 cause a huge number of motorcycle accidents. I'm John Bisnar, the senior partner of the Bisnar Chase law firm.

How severe are typical motorcycle accident injuries?

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

What are the signs of elder abuse and neglect?

The kinds of signs to look for of nursing home neglect would be bedsores, that's the number one. Or if your elderly parent is complaining about something that is going on in the nursing home, listen to them because many times what they are telling you is correct. There is a lot of abuse, there's a lot of sexual abuse, there's a lot of neglect, there's a lot of failure to take care of them. The nursing homes don't make more money by doing a better job of taking care of the elderly. I'm John Bisnar, the senior partner of the Bisnar/Chase Law Firm.

What are the most common injuries in a car accident?

The most common kind of automobile accident injury is a whiplash because the majority of auto accidents are rear end accidents. You get a whiplash from the spine being stretched and snapped. Generally, whiplash injuries are an insult to the spine. The really bad thing about a whiplash injury is it doesn't really show up how bad it is for years after the accident.

Can I sue if the other driver has no insurance?

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

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

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

How do I fight back against predatory lending?

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

Who are the most common victims of a dog attack?

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

What should I do after a dog attack?

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

What is a wrongful death lawsuit?

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

How much will a wrongful death lawsuit cost?

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

What is an auto defect lawsuit?

With regard to the difference between an auto accident case and an auto defect case, its very important to have an experienced lawyer that does auto defect cases to figure out the difference. If you're in an auto accident case, you typically are only going to be able to recover whatever the applicable insurance policy limits are on the person that caused the accident. That could be as low as $15,000. However, if an experienced lawyer is looking at the case they may note that a defect in the vehicle actually caused the injury and then you should have an auto products liability case and recover the full amount of damages you're entitled to. Hi, my name is Brian Chase. I'm a partner with Bisnar / Chase in Newport Beach, California. Our law firm specializes in personal injury litigation, helping accident victims since 1978.

With regard to the type of damages or money a person can collect in California in an auto accident or auto defect case, things such as things as past medical bills. If you've been injured, you've been to a doctor, you have a right to recover those past medical bills. If you have future or ongoing medical treatment, going to need a surgery, you have a right to recover that. If you've missed work you have a right to recover your lost wages, both in the past and for any work you may miss into the future. Also, another type of damage or money you can seek compensation for in a personal injury lawsuit is money for pain and suffering. For you or a loved one.

Is a rollover accident caused by an auto defect?

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

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 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. My name is Damien Nassiri. I'm a pattern in the law firm Howard and Nassiri. We're based in southern California, and we help people save their homes.

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.

Can I file a complaint against debt collectors?

In California, if you feel that you have been the victim or that a debt collector has violated the fair debt collection practices act, there's two things you can do. The law provides for civil remedy. That means you can hire an attorney to prosecute the matter and pursue your rights. Or you can go the route of an administrative remedy and that is where you can make a formal complaint to the Federal Trade Commission which is the commission that regulates this area and then they can look into it.

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.

Can I breast feed my child at work?

In California, your employer must accomodate breastfeeding at work. They should try to give you a private area to either pump breast milk or breast feed your child, and this private area should not be a bathroom stall if at all possible. While that space may be used for other purposes during the regular work day, during the time that you are breastfeeding you should have a private space to do that.

What is predatory lending?

Preditory lending involves a series of unfair and deceptive acts and practices commited by lenders and mortgage brokers whereby they put borrowers in worse loans than they would have otherwise qualified for, or they put borrowers in loans that have extremely high interest rates that were not disclosed to the borrowers when they first signed up for the loan.

Can a child file a wrongful death lawsuit?

Children who’ve lost a parent in some kind of an accident cannot file a wrongful death claim. They can’t file any kind of claim because they don’t have standing in the court, because they’re not an adult. So what happens is an adult stands in for them, it’s called guardian ad litem. So typically it’s a parent, but it could be an aunt, an uncle, a grandparent. Then they can bring a wrongful death claim on behalf of the child for the loss of the support that they would have had, meaning financial support, and the loss of the support that they would have had, meaning emotional support – the love, attention, affection, personal guidance that they would have received from a parent.

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

An attorney can make a huge difference in a case when you are dealing with an adjustor. If you go to an adjustor to settle a case your self and he knows you're not an attorney and knows you can't go to trial you don't have much of a bargaining position. With an attorney who has a reputation with doing dog bite trials and getting large settlements in dog bite cases the insurance company has to be concerned because they know that type of an attorney can bring some heat and make some things happen and will probably get a much higher recovery than someone who is handling it themself.

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

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

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. I'm a partner with Bisnar / Chase in Newport Beach, California. Our lawfirm specializes in personal injury litigation, helping accident victims since 1978.

Why do insurance companies limit car accident pay-outs?

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

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

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

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

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

Why do I need a DMV hearing after an arrest?

In California if you’ve been arrested for driving under the influence, the Department of Motor Vehicles wants to take away your driver’s license privilege. No driving, at all. If you make a request within 10 days of the date of your arrest, you can challenge the Department of Motor Vehicles -- who basically is looking for was there a reason for the police officer to have detained you? Some reason for the stop? Where you lawfully arrested and are the results accurate and reliable at 0.08 percent or above? I’m Virginia Landry.

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. 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.

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'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.

Will my credit score be harmed by debt settlement?

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

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.

Does my employer have to continue my health care coverage when I'm on pregnancy leave?

During your pregnancy, your employer must continue your healthcare coverage when you are taking twelve weeks of leave under the Federal Family and Medical Leave Act or the California Family Rights Act.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

How long does it take to get a loan modification?

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

How will a loan modification help me keep my house?

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

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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 will the economic bailout help me keep my home?

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

What is your experience as a foreclosure defense attorney?

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

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

You don’t need to go through probate if you have a properly funded living trust. Probate is only necessary in the event that there’s assets held outside of your trust, which you did not place title into the name of your trust. Probate then would be necessary using what’s called a pour-over will to get those assets back into your trust. I’m Lisa Aldred and I’m a team member of Wealth Strategies Counsel.

Should I have a Domestic Asset Protection Plan?

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

Can litigation occur in probate or trust administration?

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