A good start will be hiring an AL attorney to sue for an Accounting. The SOL and Discovery will be significant issues. Collection of any Judgment may also be difficult.
Lived in LA and found a listing for someone who was looking to get out of their existing lease early (not a sublease).
An addendum was signed by all parties (the former tenant, myself, and property manager), stating that my name would be added to the lease and that the former tenant's... Read more »

It looks like the landlord is keeping the previous tenant’s security deposit as your security deposit in lieu of refunding the previous tenant’s and you depositing a new one. So you have been unjustly enriched unless you repay the previous tenant.
I was involved in a class action case where default judgements got entered against a large sum of people (about 9000). The judgement entered against me was for alleged payments which equaled to about 23K. I never received the chance to dispute my case. On November of 2022 I received a subpoena... Read more »

A “class” action means that there are a large number of plaintiffs, not defendants.
If you were named as a defendant, you were entitled to be served with notice of the lawsuit. If you were not served, you should contact an attorney to review your options.

I would have to check to make sure that your brother didn't add his wife to the deed before he passed, before giving my full legal opinion. But in the scenario you outlined, since the ownership was joint with the right of survivorship between you and your brother, once your brother passed,... Read more »

Unless you can identify the passengers who robbed you, you do not have many options apart from reporting the matter to the police (which you did). With regard to legal action against Greyhound, the actions of the bus driver (assuming them to be true) clearly fall outside the scope of his... Read more »
She wants custody of the kids who my fiance has primary custody

Your best course of action is to document, document, document. You might also benefit from having a consultation with a lawyer who is experienced in both DSS investigations and private custody cases.

Mother needs to consult a lawyer who handles real estate litigation in her area to see if she has grounds for legal action, such as a lawsuit to quiet title.
Good Afternoon,
If a case is brought for review to a State Supreme Court, if the losing party chooses to, would the losing party be able or perhaps allowed to reargue to the respective circuit appellate court?
I understand that the State Supreme Court is the highest court in that... Read more »

The statute of limitations doesn't change, but you should ask the defense counsel to agree to a change in the trial date. Defense attorneys are usually happy to delay proceedings. If not, the Court is usually pretty understanding. Just make sure you haven't passed the deadline for... Read more »

Probably because they believe facts which aren’t so. Like whether a reasonably prudent pre-trip inspection would have disclosed the defect. Or like whether you are the individual responsible for maintaining the trailer.

A document that I recently had notarized by Bank of America is being rejected by my university on the grounds that the notary hasn't signed it. While attempting to research this online, I have yet to find definitive answers.

1. The name of the county or independent city in which the document is signed
2. The date the document is signed.
3. The notarial statement – what is being notarized (i.e. a... Read more »

An Oregon criminal defense attorney could analyze this best, but your question remains open for three weeks. Until you're able to consult with a local attorney, it may be best to stay away from that store. They could create bigger headaches for you than the loss of store points. Good luck
Representing myself, judge extended my timeframe to submit summos and complaint, so it should be okay to change, right? live in CA

You are entitled to file an amended complaint once as a matter of right without seeking leave of court to do so, as long as it is before the defendant has answered or filed a demurrer. Refer to CCP 472.
