Without more facts, there is no reason to even assume a California court would have jurisdiction over the company or this issue. Even if it did, there is no reason for California law to be applied to a contract made in Washington with a (at the time) Washington resident. All that being said, to... View More

If you are having these questions, you need a lawyer. These are procedural questions. From what you describe, you had already been defaulted, which would otherwise effectively end the case for you and subjecting you to whatever the plaintiff was asking for. You seem to have successfully got the... View More

This is directed at females and not optional. Will not filling it out not allow me to participate? I also have concerns that they will store my data on third-person parties. I'm simply asking for a professional opinion to understand the situation. Could you explain this to me?

I work, and while I work, there are two children under the age of 12 whose mother and grandmother let them have free rein over my bedroom.

Yes you can sue but it appears he may not have any non-exempt assets to satisfy any judgment you may be awarded.

After installing front bushings, the front tie rod broke while driving back to the mechanic to fix - I have to tow over but feel like they should pay for towing + all/any damage it caused. He did claim that they had more items to fix, so feel that they knew something needed to be done
