Minors are considered legally incompetent for some purposes when it comes to Signing a contract. Other contracts they can be held to. And example would be when you agreed to pay two dollars for a candy bar and then eat it

mediation briefs are NOT confidential and shouldn't be, because they are to persuade the other side that they should settle because you are on top of your game. Maybe you meant a settlement conference statement instead. Even that should be disclosed. You can discuss the secret sauce with... View More

Go to the Hayward Police to report if you haven't fully done so. If you want to sue somebody, Call Rick Simons in Hayward who has won many BIG cases involving child abuse.
I have submitted a petition to add a specific ordinance to the city code. While I am gathering signatures, can the city council pass an ordinance that is different from the one I am circulating? Are they restricted from doing anything except pass the proposed ordinance in the petition.
answered on Dec 6, 2017
Yes, of course they can. If they follow the rules for hearings, readings etc. You at the same time can proceed with your "different" petition. You can tell signers what the difference is if you like.
My parents, therapist, and psychiatrist have all told the school they do not want me to meet her. She is terrible, unlicensed, and makes it a lot worse.
answered on Nov 29, 2017
No court will order you to see an unlicensed counselor. ARe you sure she's unlicensed. Normally, a school guidance counselor takes additional classes to get a certificate to become a counselor, not a license. She might have done that.
Of course, a court could order you to see... View More

Your commission is yours after you receive it, and not before. It has nothing to do with the company or any "referral" fee. Are you trying to divert or delay income to avoid this years alternative minimum tax?

The language identifying a beneficiary to a bank account or life insurance policy takes precedence over any contrary language in a will or a trust.

cross out the line about who pays--if your wife has been supporting you. Then sign. If you are supporting yourself, just sign it.

My client Member and his LLC were both sued in a CA Superior Court and I also want to appear as counsel at a mediation for the LLC and the individual LLC Member, as well.
answered on Oct 3, 2017
The LLC cannot appear other than by counsel. To appear, you must find a local sponsoring lawyer to move your admission pro haec vice in the case, and that lawyer technically remains LEAD counsel in the case, and you cannot appear without that. But a mediation is not a court proceeding, and so you... View More
answered on Sep 24, 2017
generally by mutual agreement of both sides. Don't agree to a mediator you don't like. If you are already in mediation, then the answer to your questions depends on how you got there.

Such agreements are against public policy and unlawful in California; however, don't think you can't be sued for making off with tradesecrets. such might include customer lists and other things unique to that company. Did you sign a trade secret agreement too?
Can I sue before the Class action or aside of the class action?
answered on Sep 11, 2017
Yes you can sue. Better maybe to watch the class action unfold and then if you don't agree, you can opt out and proceed with your personal suit. You will definitely be offered the option to opt out of the class action.

Your lease, or maybe even an advertisement, will tell you what you rented. Do they mention parking?
Find that and you win without a lawyer or a case. Don't find it, and you just lost your parking space from non-use.

There is no California Judicial Council form for this type of complaint. If you try to squeeze your complaint into a form you will have nothing but trouble with the judge. Don't worry! you will have plenty of REQUIRED forms to use if you pick this fight during the course of your case.
My brother sold my car and the buyer wrote a bad check out to him. He is not interested in taking her to court but I am. How do we assign this debt to me? Do we need lawyer and a judge to do this?
answered on Aug 28, 2017
1. report the bad check to the police. The DA should charge it and get the money back via restitution.
2. If that doesn't work for some reason, get a lawyer to prepare:
--an assignment of the debt.
--a bill of sale of the car to you.
--an agreement by your... View More
If there is a written agreement between landlord and tenant to vacate the rental property on the day agreed upon (in this case the date was agreed to be 75 days after signature), is it still required by law to provide them with a 60 day notice to vacate?
answered on Aug 26, 2017
No. it becomes a breach of contract. But if you raise the 60 day issue and don't move out and they can prove you had considered that issue before you signed you could be found guilty of fraud and assessed damages plus punitive damages. And yes, the landlord to be prudent should have served... View More

that section does not govern service on an attorney. it governs a deadline for a creditor to make a claim. If a party has appeared in his case you have to serve his attorney not him, since this is not one of those things requiring new personal service on a newly appearing party in a new case.
