How long do birth injury lawsuits take?

Thomas M. Kiley and Associates, LLP

In Massachusetts, a birth injury case can take from one to perhaps three years.

How long will debt settlement take in California?

Howard | Nassiri, LLP

A debt settlement program can take anywhere from 6 months to 4 years. How long anyone is in a debt settlement program is really going to depend on how aggressive of an approach they want to take.

How long do medical malpractice lawsuits take?

Steven E. North

The time from when the client walks into the door until the proceeds of the case are distributed is ordinarily between three and four years. It's a function of the availability of the court, the number of cases in the courts, the particular county where the action was brought and the complexity of the case - the amount of time that's necessary to do discovery, to find out all the elements of the case and to try them if the case needs to be tried.

How long does it take to get a loan modification?

Howard | Nassiri, LLP

A loan modification can take anywhere from one month to six months. Typically it involves negotiations back and forth with the lender, and every lender is different just like every loan is different. So, some lenders are a little bit more willing to work with you, others are not. But usually what we do in our firm is we propose a loan modification to the lender, it involves income analysis, expense analysis, it gives a real good snapshot to the lender of what this borrower can afford. We point out to the lender what the fair market value of the property is and that usually is going to encourage the lenders to reduce the principle and the interest rate within a three to six month time frame. My name is Damien Nassiri, I'm a partner in the law firm Howard and Nassiri, we're based in Southern California, and we help people save their homes. If you've been the victim of a predatory loan or your facing foreclosure, give us a call.

How long will it take debt settlement to get me out of debt?

Howard | Nassiri, LLP

In California, once you engage in a debt settlement program, how fast you get out of debt is really going to depend on you. In some of the better programs where you're putting money into a trust account with an attorney giving them the ability to negotiate your debt away, it's going to depend on how much disposable income you're going to have and how much money you're going to have to put in that trust account. If you put more money in there, of course you're going to get out of debt a lot faster than someone who's putting less money in there. So, at the end of the day it's going to depend on the actual consumer on how fast they get out of debt. I'm Vincent Howard, senior and managing partner of Howard and Nesery.

There are some counties when you say you're ready for your trial, you can have your trial in six months. There's others where it takes 18 months.

How can I afford an attorney to help with foreclosure defense?

Carl E. Person

When people want to keep their house, they think that paying the mortgage every month as long as they can and holding on to the house that way. That's a mistake. They give away their last cent to the bank and they have nothing left with which to defend themselves. So, thinking ahead when you are going to run into a foreclosure situation, precipitate it yourself by stopping payment. Use that money to higher a lawyer. You don't pay during the 14 months of the foreclosure proceeding and you make the bank come to the bargaining table and hopefully get an agreement. I am Carl Pearson, I am a New York Lawyer, and my job is to help people stay in their homes.

Why representing dog bite cases are personal for me.

The Roberts Law Firm

When I was a child, I was bitten by a dog and unfortunately my parents did not hire an attorney who specialized in dog bite cases. And they did not receive the recovery that I should have received for that case. It's one of the reasons that when I represent people that are in dog bite cases, particularly children, I fight to recover maximum recovery for them. For their injures, for their pain cause there is a great deal of pain associated with dog bites. And for scaring, particularly if it's going to be long term scaring. I'm Jeff Roberts of the Roberts law firm, a full service, personal injury law firm in Southern California. If you've been involved in an accident, call us for a free consultation.

What is anesthesia-related medical malpractice?

Shandell, Blitz, Blitz & Ashley, LLP

During surgical procedures anesthesia is usually required, frequently it's general anesthesia, sometimes it's just a local anesthetia, an epidural or something of that nature. If the surgical procedure is long anaesthesiologists frequently change during the course of the operation, by that I mean one comes in and takes over for another. The lack of continuity frequently results in mistakes of the anesthesia. Hi my name is Alfa Blitz of SHANDELL-BLITZ BLITZ & ASHLEY. We have represented people who have suffered at the hands of physicians and medical malpractice. Let us help you.

What is the biggest mistake people make when filing a pregnancy discrimination complaint?

The Schlehr Law Firm

The main mistake that people make when filing a pregnancy discrimination complaint in the workplace is that they wait too long. You want to make your complaint as soon as you feel that there is any sort of discrimination relating to your pregnancy. And you want to make sure that you complain in writing either to your manager or to human resources. The writing does not have to be extremely formal, but it should be written, whether via email or via a letter, to your employer to make clear your complaint. My name is Sarah Schlehr of the Schlehr law firm. I work to protect California employees from discrimination and harassment in the workplace.

What is workplace discrimination in New York?

The Harman Firm, P.C.

Workplace discrimination in New York is governed by statute and you have been or are being discriminated against if you fall within a protected class. In New York, fortunately, the list is rather long. It includes gender, national origin, race, disability, sexual orientation. And within those categories, among others, there are subsets. New York law affords quite broad protection, but you must, however, fall within one of those categories in order to be discriminated against. My name is Walker Harman. I'm the managing attorney of the Harman firm. If you believe you've been the victim of illegal employment discrimination, we are eager to speak with you. Please give us a call.

Do I need a lawyer to file a dog bite claim?

Bisnar Chase LLP

In dog attack claims, you don't necessarily need an attorney to handle the claim. If it's serious an attorney will be a big help to you. If you are a fair negotiator, I mean if you know how to negotiate and you can handle dealing with an insurance company, then you could handle the claim yourself, as long as you know the value of the claim yourself (and that's the tricky part). Because a very experienced personal injury attorney, or a dog bite attorney, is gonna know what he settled his last 100 claims for and be able to identify the value of your claim versus those other claims. I'm John Bisnar, the senior partner of the Bisnar Chase law firm. We exclusively represent seriously injured accident victims from our offices at New Port Beach, California.

How much will a wrongful death lawsuit cost?

Bisnar Chase LLP

People who are considering a personal injury lawsuit or a wrongful death lawsuit really do not need to concern themselves with up front costs as long as they are dealing with one of the real personal injury law firms that have real experience, really know what they are doing. Those law firms are going to advance all the costs of the case anyway. I've never had a client that could afford the costs upfront that it takes to pursue a lawsuit. All the best law firms will advance whatever it takes, take the money out of the recovery, and if there's no recovery, they'll eat the loss. So you don't need to be concerned about "what is it going to cost me?" I'm John Bisnar, senior partner of the Bisnar Chase law firm. We exclusively represent seriously injured accident victims from our offices in Newport Beach, California.

Loan modification company or a loan modification attorney?

Howard | Nassiri, LLP

Loan modification companies a lot of times are the same mortgage brokers who put the bars, was in the bad loans in the first place. They're no longer writing mortgages so they flip over and become loan modification companies. And I've had lot of clients come to me and tell me Dave paid thousand of dollars to some loan modification company that didn't do anything to them. So that's the key difference is that, that even if they do something for you, all the modification company is ask for a new loan as long as a lawyer can demand it. If you can't get it, we'll go to court. My name is Damian Nasirri. I'm a partner in a law firm Howard Nassiri, we're based in Southern California and we help people save their homes. If you've been a victim of a predatory loan or you're facing foreclosure, give us a call.

Are brain injuries obvious after a car accident?

Proner & Proner

Obviously, when somebody sustains a fractured skull or has a craniotomy where they have to open up your head immediately after an accident, the individual knows that they had a brain injury after an accident and its no mystery to any of the health care providers. On the other hand often times there's a close head injury, without any bleeding, which may or may not present itself initially at the hospital, but ultimately can provide for long term permanent suffering and its only if a skilled attorney gets the individual the type of neuropsychological testing that they need, that these injuries are fully diagnosed and a skilled attorney can get you fair compensation for this type of injury. I'm Mitchell Proner. If you are looking for an experienced skilled attorney to represent you or a loved one in New York, contact me today.

How can I prove sexual orientation discrimination?

The Harman Firm, P.C.

The best way to prove that you've been a victim of sexual orientation discrimination is to file a written, formal complaint with your employer specifically detailing why it is that you believe you are the victim of sexual orientation discrimination. You should also keep a log or a journal of the instances in which you believe you've been the victim of sexual orientation discrimination. Sexual orientation discrimination, like gender discrimination, can be very subtle. It's often the scenario of taking advantage of the perceived weak employee. I found it can take very, very subtle forms over long periods of time. I recommend to employees to write everything down. Every instance. The dates, the times, exactly what happened to them so that if you do need to file a lawsuit, that you have all of that documentation available to provide to your attorney. My name is Walker Harmon. I'm the Managing Attorney of The Harmon Group. If you believe you've been the victim of illegal employment discrimination, we are eager to speak with you. Please give us a call.

What is your experience as a foreclosure defense attorney?

Carl E. Person

My name is Carl Pierson, and I am a Attorney in New York State. I am admitted to the Federal and State Courts in New York State, and I have various admissions elsewhere throughout the country. I'm a graduate of Harvard Law School, I graduated as the Magna Com Laudi at Long Island University, and I was the Student Council President there. My efforts for many years have been in law. I have more than forty years of litigation experience across the board in a variety of different types of matters. And I'm bringing all of that to bear on this new phenomenon, the crisis that we have in America of foreclosures. I'm trying to deal with them in the best way for the benefit of the people that are losing their homes. Because they don't have to lose their homes, there are protections. For example, New York State is not by accident the state which has the longest period of time for a foreclosure to take place. It was done deliberately in order to prevent people from being thrust out of their homes merely because the bankers are tired of having them live in their homes. So we set up obstacles, and that creates a 14 month period, roughly, for a person to be still in his home even when though he can't pay the mortgage. We've done that deliberately. In California, however, there is a non-judicial foreclosure. And they don't even go into court. When you lose your home in California, the bank puts a sign on your front lawn, they have a bus that takes people by your property, and then they sell your property. And that's a non-judicial foreclosure in Arizona, New Hampshire, California and other states. So New York is the longest state, and the best protected, the state that has the best protection for it's residents. I'm Carl Pierson, a New York lawyer, and a fighter, to keep people in their homes.
