In that case, you might want to contact Medi-Cal or the police, and then an... View More

It is unlawful to sell a NEW car with an open recall. It is negligent, unfair, misleading and perhaps more depending on who said what and when, to sell a USED car with an open recall. In law school and "Judge" school, we learn that finding in favor of a contract being enforceable keeps... View More

You should contact a personal injury/medical malpractice attorney right away. You only have 1 year after the malpractice to file a claim/lawsuit against the doctor.

I am responsible for damage that occurred after I returned a rental car outside of business hours (yes, I had permission to return after hours), according to the California car rental agreement.

as is the case with most legal questions, there is a need to learn more.
the contract should control........did you get permission to drop off after hours?
the challenge is that retaining a lawyer may be as costly as the PD.

You can refuse to give them title to the vehicle.
BUT, as described this is not a criminal matter.
Instead, it's a civil matter, a breach of contract.

It certainly sounds like you may have a malpractice case against your former attorney for blowing the product liability
statute of limitations, but if the statute has run on the defective ladder case you will not be able to sue the manufacturer/distributor/retailer for the defect.

Hire a lawyer experienced in the subject matter of the claim. If it is a bad medical device or pharmaceutical product, hire an experienced and knowledgeable products liability attorney. If it is an auto accident, hire an auto accident lawyer. Regardless, always ask the attorney, when was the last... View More
which court is it to file a motion to consolidate a federal court case with a state county court case in CA?
are both cases after combined to be transferred to one court only?
answered on Apr 5, 2022
The consolidation motion will most likely need to be filed in federal court if the reason for federal jurisdiction still exists (e.g. diversity of citizenship of the parties) after the consolidation. Except in certain circumstances, state courts do not generally have jurisdiction over out-of-state... View More

you cousin needs to call and consult with an attorney than handles dealership fraud cases. these cases are very fact and document specific and until an attorney does a full review, it will be very difficult to give your cousin any legal advice.

YOU CAN ALWAYS SUE ANYONE FOR ANYTHING......THE ISSUE IS MORE, WILL YOU WIN AND CAN YOU AFFORD A LAWYER.
