If I pay for a service in advance, and then cancel & ask for a refund before the service was given, can a company refuse to refund the full amount due to a "nonrefundable deposit"?
answered on Dec 4, 2020
Companies are allowed to charge non refundable deposits if they give you clear and unequivocal notice. Sometimes these notices have to be posted at the cash registers. Read your contract.

I was given a football jersey as an early Xmas / bday gift. I received and put the jersey on, that same day the gifter offered to hold onto the jersey until this Sunday. Now there’s been a completely unrelated disagreement and the gifter is claiming it to be their jersey and will not return it
answered on Dec 4, 2020
Go buy a replacement jersey, and sue the gifter for taking your personal property.

A California attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for two weeks. Most states have resources where people can search for their unclaimed funds online. Do a search for "unclaimed funds California." The search results should include official sites such as the State... View More

answered on Nov 17, 2020
Yes, this is a web site where Attorneys respond to questions and Attorneys are known for dealing with other people's poo poo, but that still does not make us plumbers or contractors. You need to ask this question of a plumber or septic tank specialist.

We live in California now but this property is in the state of New Mexico
answered on Oct 29, 2020
Might I suggest that you repost this for New Mexico under "probate" and "estate planning" so you get a response from some attorneys there. It must be done under New Mexico law since there is no will to probate here.

Signed an agreement I don’t think is valid
answered on Oct 26, 2020
You are requesting a legal opinion on a particular contract's validity. First, no one can do that without seeing the document. Second, this is not a free consultation, but depending on how big the contract or complex it is, this should not cost too much. Third, you need to take this to an... View More

You have a right to have written notice of rulings the Court makes. At a CMC the court usually sets a trial date and a date for an MSC. By waiving notice you agree that you were told at the hearing and do not need written notice. If you don't waive notice the Judge may order you to give it.... View More

Hmm, let me check my crystal ball to see what the LL is planning to do, NOPE, too cloudy. So, Maybe. Have you made any partial payments? Have you received a notice to quit? If you are behind, you need to discuss with LL and see what you can do to renew your lease.

I live in a senior citizen mobile home park for over 10 years for the last six years I've had my boat part in my driveway under the awning and now the new owners who just bought the part say I can't have a recreational vehicle. My boat is a 19 foot bayliner that I use all year long
answered on Oct 5, 2020
What a great question. Seems obvious, unless of course, you are the owners of a Mobile Home park, and you want to force your will on the occupants. So, the Vehicle Code defines "Vehicle" (of course) as: 670. A “vehicle” is a device by which any person or property may be propelled,... View More
Also if she throws away old naked pictures of herself and vhs tapes in the trash can anyone claim them?
answered on Oct 5, 2020
To answer your 2 questions directly, it depends on the ages of the people, and trash is considered abandoned. The bigger question here is why is mom allowing herself to have adult movies taken of her by her son, or is he doing this without her knowledge? Something else is going on here that needs...

Basically, can you go to community college to become a lawyer? Like do two years of community college, then transfer to a university and do two years there and then go to law school for 3 years since it'll be 7 years in total?
answered on Oct 1, 2020
Sounds like a good plan to me. Not all law schools require that you have a Bachelor degree in order to attend. I would take some courses in CC in their Paralegal/ Legal assistant program, particularly Legal research. But to your first question: "can you go to community college to become a... View More
