It's been almost 2 years and my name, signature etc is still used in my previous job, is that legal?

First, I would ask your employer in writing to remove your name from their shipping documents.
Second, you may be able to bring a claim for unauthorized use of your name for a commercial purposes under Civil Code 3344, which provides for $750 in statutory damages, actual damages, profits... Read more »

The DA represents a victim.
A criminal lawyer rep rests those that are alleged to have done something wrong

This is how the criminal "justice" system works. You get what you "pay" for.
FYI, Conflict Counsel in Riverside County only get paid a flat fee of $500 (unless the case goes to trial, then it's a measly $1,500). No reasonably competent criminal defense attorney... Read more »

an attorney would need more facts to assist you. contact a consumer protection attorney right away and have documents ready for the attorney to review.
With consent and necessary information provided, can someone legally attend/complete an online traffic school course for the consenting individual?
answered on Feb 24, 2022
Yes, falsely representing yourself as another individual to attend traffic school for them is a CRIME. Do not do it or have it done for you. The penalty will be much worse than the ticket, you could go to jail.

You also want to make sure you file an identity theft report with the FTC (https://www.ftc.gov/faq/consumer-protection/report-identity-theft). You also want to send written, by... Read more »
A person I was with in Las Vegas put something in my drink and “borrowed” a large sum of money. He’s since admitted he owes it to me but is not paying.
answered on Nov 19, 2021
you probably need a civil litigator.
however, the amount is to small for most lawyers to take this on a contingency.
it sounds like an hourly case and would not be worthwhile for you to do this.
if you can't collect, sue for $10k in small claims and waive the... Read more »

not likely unless you have specific proof showing your old employer gave your information to the person that stole your identity (knowing that the person will steal your identity). it's a hard burden to prove.

if the amount is under $10,000, I would suggest going to small claims court where you can get a date within months rather than many years.

As Abraham Lincoln (who was an attorney before he became president) once said, "An attorney's stock in trade is his (or her) time". If you want an attorney to find out if there is an outstanding warrant for your arrest, hire a lawyer.
Otherwise, go on the Ventura County... Read more »
