I have depos and statements admitting fault. But the main cause of action is wrong. Can I fix it. Plus the def. Is provided false statements(proof of it in their depo) and false documents. How can I get that thought to courts
A: Opposing a motion for summary judgment is a lengthy and complicated task, one that involves many, many hours of attorney labor. In order to point out disputed facts, you have to file an Opposition to Defendants Separate Statement of Undisputed Facts where you quote each fact set forth by Defendants, and then state whether that fact is Undisputed or Disputed. If it is Disputed, you have to refer to the admissible evidence that supports your position, and/or make evidentiary objections to Defendant's evidence. In addition to this, you would file a separate Opposition to Defendant's Points and Authorities in Support of the Motion for Summary Judgment. If you were hiring an attorney to prepare these pleadings, you should expect to pay many thousands of dollars.
