- Q. Do I need a lawyer for mediation in a hit and run case in California?
- A: It sounds like you have a very serious and potential high value case. You don't know the worth of the case, including how any defenses may effect that worth. You don't know what you don't know. The short answer is yes, you can go without an attorney. The question you should be asking yourself is why would you want to?
- Q. Mediation
- A: An early payment on a settlement is extremely rare. If they're going to pay, it will be anytime from 1 day early to 1 day late (as they may interpret the deadline as a mailing deadline). By the sound of your email, it's too early to sweat.
- Q. California - A financial advisor commits financial abuse, to accomplish is scheme he manipulates to remove protector
- A: James is right, but with one caveat. Every FINRA firm requires investors to sign arbitration agreements agreeing to have FINRA arbitrators decide the case. FINRA arbitration is a tricky place so make sure any attorney you talk to knows the forum.
