I'm not sober drunk and high on drugs. They're all seeking advantage of me doing white collar crime fraud scheme. What is it called by code of law?Can I suspend their licence bar?
A lawyer involved in a 'white collar crime fraud scheme' would surely face the loss of their license with the state bar, not-to-mention criminal prosecution.

My present husband was erroneously added to an Abstract of Judgment against me from my ex husband. Now his sole and separate property which he purchased with inherited funds has a cloud on it's title. The attorney for my ex husband has continuously filed and recorded documents with no legal basis.
There are too many variables and unknowns to give you a conclusive and complete answer, but we can move towards one. An abstract of Judgment is supposed to accurately reflect the terms of the Original Judgment. Accordingly, your first task is to compare the Abstract to the Judgment. If your... Read more »
Attorney was sent all the bills to handle and include as part of settlement package. They had all the info on medical bills so that I would not have to worry about coordination. Once we settled, I thought everything had been completed and paid. 3 yrs later, I got a medical bill saying after... Read more »
You should have an accounting or breakdown of the fees, costs, and medical expenses that were paid out of the settlement. If that document claims that a medical bill was paid, but it was not, you have a claim.
If your attorney left that medical bill off the accounting, then it wasn't... Read more »
1-current gand jury is unconstitutional. FBI goes to grand jury to get a sure conviction. Fbi on same day brings case to Judge and gets warrant.

Some misconceptions:

2. The FBI does not go to the grand jury, that is the prosecutor's job.
3. Arraignment is one of the pieces of your "due process", which continues through your trial, conviction and appeal.... Read more »

Been a very difficult experience. We hired an attorney to represent my girlfriend in an alimony case. This is the worst experience I've ever encountered in terms of representation.

It is not unlawful, but it may be improper. First, you have to look at your retainer agreement. Next, you should discuss your concerns with the attorney- maybe he used a computerized billing program that automatically billed for all tasks recorded, and he is willing to remove the charge. (I would... Read more »
I paid the attorney to file an answer to a unlawful detainer and when we went to court he didn't say one word and the papers I had served says we defaulted
Sorry to hear about your situation. Unfortunately, I must tell you what you really don't want to hear- you need to go to a new attorney to review the situation with the UD and with the work of your prior attorney to see if legal malpractice was committed by him. Look for attorneys here on... Read more »
The counsel is saying the prenuptial has "holes in it." Ex wants 110K because the prenup won't stand in court due to her errors/fraudulent work. He wants alimony. The clearly addressed all this with the prenup lawyer.
You are premature in looking at a legal malpractice lawsuit. As with almost all civil litigation, you must prove damages in order to prevail. At this point, from the facts stated, you have no damages. All you have is a demand from your former spouse's attorney that your prenup will not... Read more »
You need to ask your primary attorney that question. He/she should have all the relevant information to answer that question. It's difficult to even guess at an answer based on what you have provided.
1. You are in the Calfornia forum for legal malpractice. Ask in the Oregon forum for criminal defense.
2. Tell him to stop setting things on fire. It does literally nothing to make whatever point he championing.
Hello, I live in California, I hired a personal lawyer back at the end of June 2020. I told him I didn't want the case to drag on forever and I'd be fine with the settlement originally offered, I was afraid of not getting proper medical care. The money is great but not the most important... Read more »
Your lawyer might have a claim to some of the fees. It's really hard to fully understand the situation with what you have said but there is a good chance he/she has earned some percentage of the 33 and possibly the whole amount. Sometimes it's the other side that slows things up.
As well if I worked for a law firm does my boss take some money from the 33% I earned or is it varied on different law firms
The money that an attorney receives for working on a case is taxable income. The amount that the firm receives depends on your contract with the firm. These are really pretty basic business questions and if you are working for a firm. who is representing the client? The firm or you, individually.... Read more »

Yes and no. Generally, I would expect the Judge to recuse himself/herself from the case if s/he has a close relationship with one of the attorneys or a firm on the case they are hearing such as you are describing. There are exceptions to the conflict of interest wherein the Judge has no... Read more »
This is for something I'm writing ( a work of fiction) and I'd like to have something with this situation: a lawyer who just borrowed a lot of money to become an equity partner in a law firm is sabotaged to accidentally reveal some very private client info to the wrong people. The lawyer... Read more »
The answer to this question will depend on form of the entity that is the law firm, and the organizational agreements associated therewith. A well-drafted Shareholder's Agreement or Partnership Agreement can spell out the particular circumstances under which an equity owner/partner can be... Read more »

I paid a lawyer to get divorced and he sent my forms wrong and was rejected 3 to 4 times
A successful lawsuit requires that you have been harmed. I assume that your divorce has been delayed. If that is the extent of your "harm" it would not be sufficient to justify a lawsuit, in my opinion.
Where is a legal aid to assist me with this matter. To suspend these attorneys licences bar. Is my past criminal history still evidence proof still available?
Please contact the LA County Bar Association for information on Legal Aid in Los Angeles.
