Q. Who should I name as defendant in CA small claims case

September 1, 2022

A: nAME BOTH OF THEM, AND LET THE COURT DECIDE.

Q. Hi I am being sued by Capital one, in 2020 during the pandemic my wages were reduced, and I fell behind. Can you help?

September 1, 2022

A: The restaurant industry was hurt terribly, (and unnecessarily in my opinion), by government regulations and forced closures. I suggest you visit a bankruptcy lawyer immediately, for a consultation. Most of us BK lawyers do not charge you for a consultation. I can't say at this point whether a bankruptcy case makes sense for you, or not. It is going to depend on the amount of your debt and your income. If it doesn't make sense, a lawyer can probably talk to the people who are suing you and get a new payment agreement worked out for you.

Q. Can a dealership sell a motorcycle on consignment that has an invalid, or voided, title?

June 28, 2022

A: Yep. You got scammed. I suggest you tell the dealership that they have 24 hours to refund your money or else you will file a complaint against their dealership license with the State of California. In addition to filing the complaint, you can also file against the dealer in the local small claims court.
