It is my understanding that sidewalks in front of stores are open to the public. However, if someone is operating a business right in front of your business, and is blocking the sidewalk or simply being annoying, I think you can report it to the City or even call an officer to remove the offending...

It sounds like it would fall under both categories. Real Property issues and mortgage/finance issues almost always go together. If the drafting errors were bad enough to alter the terms of the mortgage/contract or note, then the party or parties responsible for the errors should be the ones at... View More

I don't see how the storage company can limit your time at all, unless there are too many people running around. It's your right to have time to spend in your storage unit.

Your lawyer can ask the court to allow him to withdraw from the case. Usually, there must be grounds for that request. However, most attorneys simply state in their request to be relieved from the case that there are unresolvable differences between you and your lawyer. I suggest you find... View More

I practiced intellectual property law for several years. The general rule is that if a person in the background of a movie scene is unrecognizable, they probably cannot sue for anything. However, the company's promise to send him a contract complicates matters somewhat, and could come up in... View More

If the promise to pay you was verbal, it may be difficult to get the payment. If he signed an email and sent it to you, promising to pay you back, then you should confirm his promise and the terms of the payment.

While a minor cannot legally enter a contract in California until he is 18, any contract (including a verbal contract) would be void. However, since you are now 18 they can probably request that you pay some storage fees. I would bargain with them if they give you a hassle about it. Good Luck.... View More

If you know the name of the case you can look it up on the internet in "Find Law." However, you must know the exact name and date of the case (e.g. Jones v. smith, 1990), and the case citation (e.g. 24 California 145 at page 230).

When you said you were in the "framing business," I assumed you meant house framing. I now understand that you frame works of art. I think that, because you have a disclaimer at the end of your invoices as to the length of time you must hold onto those invoices (and/or the artwork), you... View More

I suggest you sue the seller and the roofing company. And, if your realtor knew of the problem, you should sue her too. Depending on the escrow papers, you may have to have a mediation and arbitration before you can file a lawsuit. If neither party signed the clause requiring an Arbitration,... View More

Probably. But you will probably need to coordinate the timing with the Court. You also must be in a Court that allows you to compel an arbitration hearing, or have a contract that has an arbitration clause in it.. Since I don't know what documents are involved (e.g. is there a contract with... View More

I would speak to the representative of the owners and let him know that you must continue the work since you are under contract, or in the alternative the owners must provide you with a written statement that the owners are terminating your contract, and that you and your employees are not...

Call your Union contact and ask for an explanation.

You need to find out why there has been no court date set for your unlawful detainer. perhaps the party filing the UD has postponed the hearing date. If so, you can file your own claim against the plaintiff in the same Court. IT's called "defendant's claim." Again, timing is... View More

I don't understand your statement of "No Court," which I assume means there has been no Court date set. You need to go on the internet and find the nearest Court in your County. Then log in to that Court Website and look for a case number. If you received papers from the Court you... View More

The answer may depend on whether or not you have a lease. Landlords generally cannot terminate your lease without at least 60 days notice. Try pointing this out to your landlord, and ask for more time. Good Luck.

I would take them to the nearest Small Claims Court and ask for damages for $5,000. if you lose, you cannot appeal the Court's decision. If you win, the defendant (Lowe's) can appeal the decision and ask for a trial "de novo" (a new trial). Or you can file a civil lawsuit and... View More

The simple answer is that, assuming that the vote should be decided by all members of the HOA. If the response of the voting is a "no," you can always purchase separate Earthquake insurance to protect your personal property and other assets. I agree that all HOAs should have earthquake...

Assuming that you are talking about a real estate purchase contract that has a mandatory mediation/arbitration clause in it, and both parties have initialed those clauses, your attorney should represent you at those hearings. if he doesn't want to do that, you should get another attorney.

I would need more details of the accident to give you an answer at this time. I would need to know:

Where (in what City) the accident occurred?

What part of the premises of the development were you on at the time of the accident?

Was there a painted yellow line just before... View More
