If your son has a case, it would be for malpractice. Getting an MRSA infection is not, by itself, evidence of malpractice. You should contact a medical malpractice attorney to discuss the issue. Your son's medical records will need to be obtained from every ER where he was seen, as well as the... Read more »
I briefly mentioned that I would sue them if I could if I had the money can they attack me on that. I was forced to resign
You can be sued for slander or libel if you published false statements of facts that damaged the company's reputation.
My friend was sued, paid $10,000.,got an attorney who then passed the case over to another attorney friend, who told my friend she needed to file Chapter 11 bankruptcy and ask for $35,000. retainer.

So incompetent not sober I read the law book caljic3.31.5 illegal. I got evidence proof not sober criminal history. They were all seeking advantage of me white collar crime. Ability to suspend their bar licences at the state bar of ca?
Maybe, if you have some evidence. Testimony, alone, from a meth user probably won't be very persuasive.

What is your actual question?
I bought furniture from ashleys and it was delivered damaged. Called the same day and filed a complaint. Yet they want to send a tech fo my house to bring it up to manufacturing standards. They want to fix it instead of swaping it with a new one. And they denied my request to swap for a new one . I... Read more »
The short answer is to let them know that if you do not get "what you paid for" … then you will want to post an adverse review on Yelp and to take them to small claims court to get your money back and/or to receive what you paid for.
I have a retaliatory and hour and wage case set for trial and my attorney filed without my consent a motion to be relieved can I fight it and what forms
Your question is a bit confusing. The headline says the attorney was granted the motion to be relieved. The question however suggests it is still a pending motion.
Yes you can try to oppose the motion, but there are strict deadlines for doing so. However, the only real basis you would... Read more »
This attorney. How do I know if the court reviewed my motion and declaration? How do I know if he’s going to grant or deny my motion and how long does opposing counsel have to respond.
You can never know how much attention the Court gave to your papers. If they were properly filed ad formatted, then the odds are quite high that they were fully considered. The opposition is generally due 9 court days before the hearing (start at the hearing date, don't count the hearing date,... Read more »

Yes, your family has a claim for the negligent treatment of his remains. (Christensen v. Superior Court (1991) 54 Cal.3d868, 879 [2 Cal.Rptr.2d 79, 820 P.2d 181]). Contact a PI attorney to discuss.
It's technically picking up dropped change, isn't it? (i.e. taking coins from the fountains in malls, shopping squares, or parks)
No, you don't want to do that. A court would not treat it as picking up dropped change off the ground. Whether in California or any other state, that money is not free for the taking. Your post remains open for five weeks, but a criminal defense attorney could advise you more meaningfully on the... Read more »
Filing false police report.
I've been denied my civils by the PD at least 30 times. How to fix this? They are just extorting me and flipping me the bird. I've paid over a $1200. Court fees. Had been harassed by the sheriff's. Had 11 cases going on in 2018. Took me to jail 2 or 3 x. I never... Read more »

I would write out in detail the issues you have and ask the judge if they would appoint a court-appointed lawyer for you........not in the PD's ofc.............your PD might even help you with that as I assume they want to conclude their representation.

i don't do that but some lawyers are piggish.
I am a retired claims adjuster. My friend lost his wife in an auto accident. I went with him to an attorney and while the attorney was deciding whether to take the case my friend asked me to help and write a settlement demand, which I did and he signed, which was accepted. The claim settled over a... Read more »
it very well could be but the facts will determine. this time hire an attorney to discuss this with you.
Similar or exactly the same to what?
Fight it first in criminal case
The case was switched to a new courtroom with this judge presiding the day before my court date.
Judges, who are appointed to the bench, do not need an active license to practice law because when they take the bench they are not acting as a lawyer at all, but as a judge.
It is none of your business as a party before the court who or what the judge is or may be. However, every party has... Read more »
Janjua v. Neufeld, No. 17-16558 (9th Cir. 2019)
I can’t find case law on it since it’s fairly new, but how would I cite it? Can’t find too much info on it
It depends on the court in which your case is filed, but you can find the general style rules here guides.library.lls.edu/c.php?g=497703&p=3407469. Check your court for specific citation rules.
I'm not certain that Janjua has an official Cal.Rptr. citation yet, so you might just have to... Read more »

If a law firm forged your signature, then a complaint to the State Bar is warranted. It is possible that the law firm is responsible for your damages, i.e., what you lost as a direct result of the fraud. That would include the principal, interest, and potentially emotional distress. It does not... Read more »
