What Oath Ceremony? Citizenship? Police force? Usually traffic citations are not considered crimes that you have to report on taking an oath regarding pending criminal actions. Usually they are infractions, unless it is a DUI or a misdemeanor. I really cannot say without knowing what kind of... View More

Congratulations. I suggest that you go to PUA.GOV to find out the answers to your question, or contact the CUIAB, or EDD to find out the answers from the horse's mouth, so to speak. Unlikely it is prospective from the date of the appellate decision. Thank you for using Justia ask a lawyer.

You have multiple legal issues. Most important is the personal injury through Mold contamination, you need a personal injury attorney for that. Then you have landlord/tenant issues. Are you living in a "tent?" as it says in your post? Or is this a house/apartment/hotel room? Is it a... View More

Contact an eviction attorney to begin eviction proceedings. There are many firms throughout CA that handle this kind of law at reasonable prices. You could start out asking them to pay or move, and follow with a 3 day notice to pay or quit.
The IRS provided some information on the 1099 including the amount and the issuer of the 1099s. One entity issued two different 1099s.

Sorry to hear that you were victimized like this. No, you cannot sue to police to get them to conduct a criminal investigation or bring charges. You can go over the detective's head to his supervisor to complain, but the police have discretion about what cases they will pursue. You need to... View More
My landlord recently passed away and his heirs seem to think that an acceptable way to encourage the tenants to move out is to stop paying the utility bills, which are included in the monthly rent payments, and the electricity got shut off today (on a Saturday) - the utility company is now telling...

answered on Jul 9, 2023
This is awful. You need to contact the utility immediately to have service restored in your own name. Deduct from rent what you must pay. Your landlord is prohibited from doing this to force you out, it is in a statute, I believe Civil Code 1941.6, or close to it. You need to retain an attorney... View More

When suing in a small claims court and a civil court, if I, the plaintiff, can prove that the defendant has committed a perjury, which party can hold the defendant responsible? Who can sue the defendant for perjury? The District Attorney? The court? Or me, the plaintiff?
answered on Jul 9, 2023
I agree with Mr. Kane, that YOU cannot recover damages when someone perjures himself in court, however, perjury is a crime and could be investigated by the District Attorney or Attorney General. IMO, it won't be. These offices are overwhelmed with cases and investigating an alleged perjury... View More

I think you should be OK as long as you don't move to WA, or reside there for more than 10 days (unless you can prove it was a short vacation). The Commerce Clause of the US Constitution (you heard of that right??? Just kidding) says that no state may pass any laws that unduly burden... View More

So the main reason why I even got pulled over was because I was parked in the parking lot in a motel and a officer came up to my vehicle to see what I was doing and why I was there and I told him that me and my wife was waiting for her to go to work and for the time for her to go to work and the...

Some LEO wait outside bars, when they see someone intoxicated come out they follow the car and pull over for DUI. Sounds similar to what happened to you. Actually the officer could have ticketed you in the parking lot. I think she waited to be sure, because, as you said, you denied her, so she... View More
