The answer is Yes, the mechanic can sell your car after doing work on it, with no contract. Under vehicle lien laws, which are found in the Civil Code § 3067-3074, allow a mechanic to sell the car either after presenting a bill or after performing work. He was supposed to send you the lien... Read more »

The status of your case is not clear. You say you had a 730 evaluation and you also say you are already divorced. You also say you and your daughter are "reunited". What do you mean "what do I do now" and what do you need help with? Did you get custody of your daughter in... Read more »

How long can a seller or his attorney delay recording a case “failure to disclose” for mediation, by asking every month discovery question to buyer for California residential purchase?
Thank you Maurice for answer.
In fact, mediation has not recorded yet. In other word, I am not... Read more »
There is no answer to your question because there are not sufficient facts. Since you are in "mediation" you are apparently outside the provisions of the California Code of Civil Procedure that requires cases to go to trial within 5 years.

I was an hourly, non-exempt employee in California. My former employer is currently settling a class action settlement on the basis of FLSA and California Labor Code violations. I received a notice calculating my weeks worked for a five-year period, but the total number of weeks seems quite low... Read more »
This is a question you need to address to the attorney representing the class. How damages are calculated can often be a negotiated term of settlement. You need to know what the negotiated term was, if any.
As a class member, you have the right to either object to the settlement or,... Read more »

You are asking a very complex question with a convoluted set of facts, on a public forum, which is not the best place for an answer. IMO- you need to have a consultation with an employment law attorney that specializes in public sector employment and whistleblower protection. It is also my... Read more »
I have been drinking Starkey water from Whole Foods for many years until I found out just last Friday on 06/19/2020 that it is very high in arsenic levels. I have developed liver illness (advanced fibrosis). I live in San Francisco of California.
I'm sorry for your issues. You do NOT want to normally be part of a class action as the remedies offered are rarely as good as the remedies you can get on your own. Your more important question since you are automatically part of the class if you fit the class description, is "How do I... Read more »

All federal cases appear on PACER once filed.
As an indigent appellant of an underlying family law case, I elected to proceed with the clerk's transcript and settled statement in lieu of reporter's transcripts (CRC 8.137). The trial court modified my proposed settled statement and certified the modified statement as an accurate... Read more »
First, I am not a California lawyer. But I would file that motion, or a similar motion, in the appellate court, which would call attention to your problem. And if you plan on filing a reply brief, then attach the trial court's modified statement in that brief, and in the reply brief... Read more »

The California Department of Public Health issued a GUIDANCE on June 18/20 stating that "People in California must wear face coverings..."
- Is a GUIDANCE the same and an Order or a Law?
- Can police enforce this guidance?
- What can you be charged with if you do not choose to wear a mask?
The new orders issued yesterday and today from the Office of the Governor now create a state-wide mandate for the use of masks in public places. This means if you are over 2 years old (because if you are under 2 you cannot read the Order) you have to wear a face mask, waiting in line to enter a... Read more »

First, you are going to be looking at potential Statute of Limitations problems if you have waited 5 years to do anything about this. A statute of limitations sets the maximum time that you can wait before bringing a lawsuit on your claim. The SOL on a written contract is 4 years and on a verbal... Read more »

I recorded a partial judgement on reserved issues that wasnt the final judgement ....what should i do?
Generally, an abstract of judgment is issued and recorded on the final judgment.
However, in certain circumstances, the clerk of the court will issue an abstract on a partial judgment. See Lucky United v. Lee (2010) 185 Cal.App.4th 125, 131, 142 (clerk issued abstract of judgment and... Read more »

There are several parts to your question:
