If the pregnant woman has had a good work history and no poor performance evaluations and then gets pregnant and gets fired, that's discrimination in my opinion and that particular individual should immediately seek the advice of an attorney. My name is Walker Harman. I'm the managing attorney of the Harman Firm. If you believe you've been the victim of illegal employment discrimination, we are eager to speak with you. Please give us a call.

What is workplace discrimination in New York?

Workplace discrimination in New York is governed by statute and you have been or are being discriminated against if you fall within a protected class. In New York, fortunately, the list is rather long. It includes gender, national origin, race, disability, sexual orientation. And within those categories, among others, there are subsets. New York law affords quite broad protection, but you must, however, fall within one of those categories in order to be discriminated against. My name is Walker Harman. I'm the managing attorney of the Harman firm. If you believe you've been the victim of illegal employment discrimination, we are eager to speak with you. Please give us a call.

When do I have to return to work after my pregnancy?

When you need to return to work after your pregnancy depends on many factors. Different leave laws have different requirements. For example, the most common leave law, the Family and Medical Leave Act, requires that you have worked for your employer for at least a year, that you've worked at least 1250 hours in that year, and that your employer has at least 50 employees working within a 75-mile radius of your job site. If your employer meets those requirements and you meet those requirements, you can take up to 12 weeks of bonding leave with your child. My name is Sarah Schlehr of the Schlehr Law Firm. I work to protect California employees from discrimination and harassment in the workplace.

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

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

How do I prove pregnancy discrimination in New York?

In order to prevail in a pregnancy discrimination lawsuit, you must show that your demotion or your determination was at least impart because you got pregnant and took maternity leave. Or just because you got pregnant. If you could show that that was just one of the reasons that your salary was cut, you were demoted to a lower position, or you were terminated from your job, that's enough to prevail in a pregnancy discrimination lawsuit.

Is pregnancy discrimination common in the workplace?

Pregnancy discrimination is common in the workplace.

Is my job guaranteed after I return from a pregnancy?

Your job is typically guaranteed when you return from a pregnancy leave. If you've taken leave that you are legally entitled to under the California Pregnancy Disability Leave Law, then your employer must return you to the same position that you had when you started the leave. If you return from a bonding leave under the California Family Rights Act, then your employer must reinstate you to an equivilant position when you return from your bonding leave.

How can I help to prevent pregnancy discrimination in the workplace?

There are a few ways to help prevent pregnancy discrimination in the workplace. One is to communicate clearly with your employer about your pregnancy. After you've informed them of your pregnancy, you want to ask what your rights are, and also insure that you're giving them notice when you need to leave for a doctors appointment or inform them about the leave that you want to take around the time of giving birth. You can also help prevent discrimination in the workplace by informing your supervisor when there is a problem, you want to let them know that immediately so that any further discrimination can be stopped and prevented.

There's absolutely age discrimination in New York, and it's illegal. It's protected by several statutes. It is one of the protected categories under the anti-discrimination statutes, and if you believe that you're a victim of age discrimination (i.e. You're over the age of 40), and you believe that you've been subjected to an adverse employment action, such as a demotion or termination, you should immediately make a formal written complaint about it to your company and contact an attorney.

What to do if I'm the victim of gender discrimination?

If you believe you’re the victim of gender discrimination, as in most instances, the first thing you should do is put your complaint in writing and file it with the Human Resource department or some other supervisor or office manager within your company. The important thing about a complaint of gender discrimination is that you be as specific as possible. Why is it that you believe that you were subject to gender discrimination? You need to provide particulars. It’s a subtle type of discrimination and it will be more easily assessed by the company, and a potential attorney, if you provide as much detail as possible.

Why does The Harman Firm handle discrimination cases?

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

Is my job guaranteed after I return from maternity leave?

It is a misconception that your job is guaranteed after you return from maternity leave.

What qualifies as pregnancy discrimination in California?

There are many things that qualify as pregnancy discrimination in California. Primarily, pregnancy discrimination occurs when a pregnant woman is treated differently because of her pregnancy in the workplace. In addition, many of the pregnancy discrimination cases in California arise because women request accommodations because of their pregnancy or request leave from work because of their pregnancy or after they've given birth.

How common is race discrimination in New York?

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

What if my pregnancy prevents me from doing my job?

If your pregnancy prevents you from doing your job, you have two remedies. One is to see if there's a reasonable accommodation in the workplace. Is there a way for you to do your job if your employer helps you in certain ways? If there is no reasonable accommodation, then in California a woman is entitled to take up to four months of leave because she's disabled because of pregnancy, child birth or a related medical condition.

How much money in gender discrimination cases?

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

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.

What if my pregnancy prevents me from doing my job?

In the state of New York if your pregnancy prevents you from doing your job and you have a doctor's certification that your pregnancy is preventing youf rom doing your job, then you should immediately inform your employer of your doctor's orders whatever they might be. Whether it be shorter work hours or time away form work. If your employer does not accomodate you, you could potentially, not in every instance, but you could potentially be the victim of disability discrimination. Because if your pregnacy has caused you to develop some sort of condition that requires bedrest or time away from work, that could be a temporary dissability.

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

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

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.

How can I prove sexual orientation discrimination?

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

Do employers have to accomodate my pregnancy in NY?

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

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. My name is Sarah Schlehr of the Schlehr Law Firm. I work to protect California employees from discrimination and harassment in the workplace.

What defines workplace sexual harassment in New York?

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

What laws protect me from workplace harassment in New York?

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

What can I do about workplace retribution?

If you are afraid of retribution in the workplace, you have to make a choice. Are you going to suffer through the sexual harrasment and potentially ruin what could be a good case against your company or are you going to take action. Let your company know. Have faith in the system and contact an attorney. And that's ultimately your choice. If you make the choice to not do anything about it, in my experience, the situation will get worse and you will suffer more. My name is Walker Harmon. I'm the managing attorney of the Harmon Firm.

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.

It is unlawful for an employer to ask about pregnancy or future family planning during a job interview. Employers cannot base their hiring decisions on whether a woman is pregnant or on whether she is intending to have a family.

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.

How much money in a workplace sexual harassment case?

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

But yes, men can be sexually harassed in the state of New York, they can be sexually harassed by women, they can be sexually harassed by men, and the most important thing is that, if you are a man, and you believe you are being sexually harassed, you need to make sure that the harasser understands that the conduct is unwanted and that you immediately thereafter let the company know.

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.

How should I tell my employer that I'm pregnant?

You should inform your employer that you're pregnant in writing. While you may tell them verbally in an initial conversation, you want some sort of documentation just in case some sort of discrimination occurs afterwards.

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.

Can I return to work later after receiving Social Security Disability?

If you're receiving Social Security disability benefits and it's your intent to return to work, you do have a nine month trial work period. If you do return to work, and your return to work lasts longer than nine months then your return is successful and you'll no longer be eligible for Social Security disability benefits. If your return to work is less than nine months, then your return to work will be deemed unsuccessful and you will continue to receive Social Security disability benefits without having to file another application.

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

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

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.

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. 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.

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

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

How does a loan modification work?

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

Do orders of protection work in Arizona?

Orders of protection are very effective in Arizona. The police, and all of the sheriff's departments have databases that keep people who have orders of protection on an online database. This database can be accessed by any police agency. If a defendant breaks that order of protection, they will be arrested, and they will be booked. They will be taken down to a jail, and they will be charged with interference with judicial proceedings. If a person feels genuine and sincere danger or harassment from another individual, an order of protection is a very effective means at protecting one's self.

What is sexual harassment in New York?

There's no one clear definition of sexual harassment in the state of New York. It can take many forms. Essentially, it is offensive, unwanted conduct based on your gender. So, it can be a man sexually harassing a man or a woman sexually harassing a woman. And it could be subtle. It just has to be because of your gender. That's why it's sexual harassment.

What should I NOT DO when being sexually harassed?

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

Will a sexual harassment case be in my employment record?

I’m often asked how a sexual harassment claim or complaint, um, could show up later in an employee’s employment record. And there’s really no, uh, simple answer to that question.

Um, most em-, employers, uh, say that they will keep claims confidential. In my experience they don’t live up to that promise.

Why is sexual harassment in college so damaging?

Sexual harassment on a college campus, particularly if the student is the victim of the harassment, can be so damaging because college is oftentimes the beginning of someone's career, and more importantly in a sense the beginning of one's adult life.

If your not certain whether the attention you're receiving from your professor is sexual harassment, you should first talk to the professor and explain that the attention you're receiving, whether it be an invitation to dinner or whether it be just merely sitting too close, is not the kind of attention you want. If the professor, for instance, doesn't stop you need to follow your schools procedures and make a formal written complaint regarding the professor's conduct.

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

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

How much money in a college sexual harassment case?

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

How expensive to file a college sexual harassment case?

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

Am I bound by an oral contract?

In most instances, the employee and the employer are not bound by oral contract, and that is a great misconception that predominantly employees have. For instance, if your boss says, "If you work till the end of the year, I guarantee you a bonus of ten thousand dollars," that is not a binding contract in the state of New York. And many employees are shocked to learn that. I would recommend that everything always be put in writing and be signed by the employee and the employer if it's concerning something as important as your compensation. My name is Walker Harman, I'm the Managing Attorney of the Harman firm. If you believe you've been the victim of illegal employment discrimination, we are eager to speak with you.

Should I get a lawyer to negotiate a severance package?

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

What is a typical employment class action lawsuit?

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

What is an employment class action lawsuit?

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

What is a commission clause in an employment agreement?

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

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

What is an arbitration clause in an employment agreement?

An arbitration clause is a clause in an employment agreement, or often these days in an employee handbook that binds an employee to arbitrate their disputes, and prohibits them forever from filing a lawsuit in court. In some instances, the employee doesn't have a choice. If it's in the employee handbook, and you're asked to countersign handbook, you have created a contractual relationship with the employer, and you're bound by arbitration. If you're negotiating your own contract, you can perhaps negotiate the arbitration clause out of the contract. It's important because it limits your ability to go after your employer and you have to arbitrate your dispute, and you cannot file a lawsuit in court, and you cannot have a jury of your peers judge the facts of your case. You're giving up that right. It's a very important right in the United States. My name is Walker Harman. I'm the managing attorney of The Harman Firm.

Should an attorney look at my employment agreement?

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

What should I NOT DO regarding employment agreements?

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

Describe employment agreements in New York.

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

What is workers' compensation?

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

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. For the last 19 years in Orange County, I've helped when bad things happen to good people. If you've been arrested for a DUI, please call.

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

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

How do I get my license back after a DUI conviction in California?

"If you've been convincted of driving under the influence of alcohol in California and it's a first conviction, to get your license reinstated, you need to enroll in a alcohol education program. You need to pay a $125.00 reissue fee to the California Department of Motor Vehicles, and have a special form proof of insurance which you get from your insurance carrier. Your automobile insurance rates will raise if you're convicted of driving under the influence. I'm Virginia Landry.

What types of injuries are covered by workers' compensation?

Worker's Compensation covers injuries or accidents that arise in the course of your employment. Many of them are very obvious. You know, I bent down and I lifted something up awkwardly, and I had an acute injury to my back or my neck. And the ones that become far more difficult and where people really don't understand their coverage are the repetitive type injuries, that - the types of injuries that happen over time, that my job requires me to lift heavy things day in and day out; and over time my body breaks down where I can't do the functions of my job. People unfortunately don't know that that is exactly what Worker's Compensation covers, that they feel it has to be some specific acute identifiable event. And that's not what the statute requires.

For the past 20 years we have been representing individuals in the greater Boston area in worker's Compensation, personal injury and Social Security disability claims.

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

The theory of an auto accident claim is to recover your losses, so your claim is worth whatever you've lost. If you have a sprained ankle, your case is worth next to nothing. If you have a brain injury and cannot work any longer and that the rest of your work career is over, then your case is worth millions of dollars. I'm John Bisnar the senior partner of the Bisnar/Chase Law Firm. We exclusively represent seriously injured accident victims from our offices in New Port Beach California.

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.

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.

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 do I recognize if my child suffered a birth injury?

Many times when parents come to us with a question about what happened to their child, they start to notice that the child isn't reaching milestones. Has an inability to roll over as a young infant. Inability to crawl or stand and maybe doesn't have balance. And they're starting to question what's wrong with the child because they don't necessarily understand that something traumatic happened during the birth process. And as soon as parents start to notice those signs, not only should they get a medical work up but they should seek out an attorney who can sort through the medical records and advise them as to whether or not something happened during the birth. I'm attorney Tom Kiley. I've been representing the seriously injured and their families in Massachusetts for over three decades.

Bankruptcy or a mortgage foreclosure defense?

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

What rights do I have against foreclosure in New York?

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

How 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.

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. They are standing there in the background saying, "You guys better correct this, Girardi, with this class action or we are going to have to do something." My name is Tom Girardi.

What constitutes self-defense in a murder case?

Self-defense is an interesting defense, particularly in Massachusetts. The bottom line of self-defense is that you are only justified in defending yourself with the same type of force as that which is being used against you. So, if somebody comes at me with a stick and they’re going to hit me, if I pick up my AK-47 and blow them away, self-defense is not going to work so well.

Are car accident lawsuits common in Massachusetts?

"Many people who haven't been in car accidents think that if that happened to them, they're just going to call their insurance agent and that their car is going to be fixed, their medical bills are going to be paid, they're going to be paid for their time out of work, and they're going to be paid for the pain and suffering of this horrible experience that they've had. That's not the case. Insurance companies, they're in business to make a profit. They make a profit by paying as little as possible on your claim. The adjusters are trained to do this. Even with an experienced attorney involved, they still resist paying full value on claims. That's why many times these cases require being taken to court to hold the insurance company accountable to ensure that they pay full value for what happened to you. I'm attorney Tom Kiley, I've been representing the seriously injured, and their families, in Massachusetts for over three decades."

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. And one of the ways in which you can keep your house is if you hire an attorney who's skilled in this area of law, who can exercise your rights and help you keep your home.

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.

Will a debt settlement program stop the harassing phone calls?

In California, if you enroll in a debt settlement program where an attorney provides you representation, it may stop the harassing calls from creditors and debt collectors.

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.

Does my debt go away in a debt settlement?

Your debt may go away in a debt settlement program. I mean at the end of the day that's the goal. Our goal - or anyone going into a debt settlement program, that program's goal is to negotiate away your unsecured debt. However, the consumer has to realize that it's up to the creditor ultimately whether or not they want to reduce or even erase the amount of debt that you owe. Most of the times they will do that because some money is better than no money. I'm Vincent Howard, senior and managing partner of Howard Nassiri.

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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.

But the whole purpose of this is to stop it from happening in the future. That's really our main focus. And, the focus is to pay back the people that have been the victims of the price fixing of the flat-panel screens. And if you bought one then you're a victim, because they all did it. How about that?

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.

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. For the past forty-four years, we have helped people in California who've been seriously harmed. I'm very proud of the work we've done and the role that we've played.

How are lawyers helping me if i am a victim of the flat-panel screen price fixing scheme?

A lot of times people don't really understand what lawyers do, and the fact of the matter is in almost all of these cases good lawyers put in thousands of hours to help the people. You don't even know we're doing it, you don't even know we're working 16 hours a day for you on the flat panel TV screen price fixing case that's going on. On the other hand, that's what we are doing. So the next time you see some ad about corporate America that says how terrible plaintiff lawyers are, think about this- there are a lot of plaintiff lawyers out there that are doing their utmost for you. And that's the truth. My name is Tom Girardi, I am the senior partner of Girardi-Keese. For the past 44 years, we have helped people in California that have been seriously harmed.

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.

What is the flat-panel TV and monitor price fixing scheme lawsuit?

you know, another case that,um, we're very proud of that I think that we're going to do some good with, um, is the price fixing case with respect to LCD flat monitors if you would both the t.v. monitors and notebook monitors. There are 9 manufaturers Korean, Tiawanese, Chinese, Japanese that manufacture all of these and what we've now found out is that what they've been doing is not competing with each other but fixing the prices of all these screens. We've disvovered they've had 57 meetings with upper management some of them ceo to ceo the primary purpose in fact to fix the prices and we're after them, man and we're going to do some good here.

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. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

What areas are affected by the TXI chromium contamination in California?

You know, the people who live in this little community in Riverside, which is a short distance from Los Angeles, were the people that are massively affected by a careless cement company, TXI, pouring chromium into the air. Chromium is an insidious carcinogen. As a matter of fact, one pound of chromium can cause as much cancer as fifty pounds of benzine, to give you some idea of how terrible this chemical is. And this little community which is adjacent to this plant has been subjected to this chromium dust, it's on the swingsets, it's outside their door, it's in the air and it's in the water.

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.

Will I lose my license due to a vehicular assault conviction?

If you're convicted in Massachusetts for a vehicular assault crime, you absolutely can lose your license. It's almost a sure bet that the registry is going to try to take your license. However, it's not a done deal. My advice is you get counsel who knows how to handle these cases. Obviously, I would expect your attorney, if they're experienced at all, was planning for this possibility in the defense of your case, and they should be defending you with the registry to help you keep your license or at least get a Cinderella license, a license that you can use in order to go to work.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Uh, you will see on the news or on radio ads, or TV ads, debt settlement companies are popping up all over the place in California. Uh, you have to be very careful and do your due diligence when looking to see, uh, what debt settlement program you want to engage in. Uh, one thing, uh, I think that would be in the consumer's best interest is to look for a debt settlement program that is attorney based. Because only an attorney can enforce your rights in a court of law. Debt settlement companies can't do that. 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. If you need an attorney you can trust, go ahead and give us a call.

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. 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.

How can a loan modification help me?

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

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

The first thing you want to do after a motorcycle accident in New York, or anywhere in the United States, is do a quick body check. From your toes to the top of your head, "Do I feel anything? Is anything bothering me? Is anything tingling? Is anything hurting? Am I in pain anywhere?" And if you feel any symptoms, you want somebody to contact an ambulance and go to a hospital and get yourself checked out. Even though you might be concerned about the cost of that ambulance ride and the cost of that hospital visit, it's more important to get your health taken care than to worry about what happens to your bike afterwards. Then, immediately after that, if you sustained injuries, contact an attorney so that attorney can get to work on safeguarding any evidence and doing what they can to make sure that you get as much money as possible as quickly as possible. I'm Mitchell Proner. If you are looking for an experienced, skilled attorney to represent you or a loved one in New York, contact me today.

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. I'm the senior partner of Girardi Keese. For the past forty four years, we have helped people in California who've been seriously harmed. I'm very proud of the work we've done and the role that we've played.

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. The fact of the matter is nine manufacterers of this stuff have been meeting in a garage some place saying 'This is what we're going to charge. 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.

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. My name is Tom Giradi. I'm the senior partner or Giradi/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 your firm helping the families affected by TXI chromium contamination?

You know, I’m very proud of our law firm to try to help families who’ve been harmed by TXI conduct. You know, TXI absolutely, positively knew what they were doing. They knew they were belching this carcinogen chromium into the air, onto the swing sets, into the water of this little community. And the fact of the matter is, many families have been very badly hurt by it. For a firm like ours, it’s great to be a part to try to create justice for these people who have suffered serious and terrible harm due to the conduct of a company that didn’t really care. 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.

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. 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 have done and the role that we have played.

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. I’m very proud of the work we’ve done and the role that we’ve played.
