How do debt settlement programs in California work?

Howard | Nassiri, LLP

In California, debt settling programs work one of two ways. The first way, the debt settling company gets all their money up front, negotiates something with the lender and passes it off to the consumer and says, "here you go, you're on your own." The better debt settlement companies do it this way - they have the consumer pay money into a trust account over time, and you can only do this with a law firm. Once that money accumulates and so much money is in that account, the attorney makes an offer of settlement to the creditors and when that attorney makes that offer of settlement that money is there. That program is much more successful. I'm Vincent Howard, senior and managing partner of Howard Nassiri. We work hard every day representing the consumer from our headquarters in Orange County, California. If you need attorney you can trust, go ahead and give us a call.

How does a sub-prime loan work?

Howard | Nassiri, LLP

A sub-prime loan works like this. If your credit score is less than pristine, you're going to be put in a loan with a higher interest rate, and that higher interest rate is because of the risk that the lender is taking and taking someone who has less than pristine credit and putting them and insuring them or giving them this mortgage rather. But what we've seen a lot of here in California is the homeowner that has a good credit score put in these sub-prime mortgages and loans, and that is because lenders make money when they put people in a sub-prime product. I'm Vincent Howard, Senior and Managing Partner of Howard Nassiri. We work hard everyday representing the consumer from our headquarters in Orange County, California. If you need an attorney you can trust, go ahead and give us a call.

Can I breast feed my child at work?

The Schlehr Law Firm

In California, your employer must accomodate breastfeeding at work. They should try to give you a private area to either pump breast milk or breast feed your child, and this private area should not be a bathroom stall if at all possible. While that space may be used for other purposes during the regular work day, during the time that you are breastfeeding you should have a private space to do that. My name is Sarah Schlehr of the Schlehr Law Firm. I work to protect California employees from discrimination and harassment in the workplace.

What should I do if I've been injured at work?

Kantrovitz & Associates, P.C.

If someone has an injury at work the first thing they should do is, whether they think it is a significant injury or insignificant, is they should immediately report that injury to their supervisor or their direct employer. And then secondly, if its an injury that you feel requires medical attention you should immediately go out and seek the medical care and be very descriptive with your doctor as far as exactly what happened and the parts of your body that were injured. My name is attorney Stephen Kantrovitz of Kantrovitz & Associates.

How does a loan modification work?

Carl E. Person

Loan modification works when you have the borrower and the back agreeing to making a change in the mortgage payments. The facts that are being considered are: Does the borrower have the capacity to pay at the reduced rate? Is the value of the property less so that it's no longer fair to hold the borrower to the higher value because for some reason the borrower may no longer be liable for any deficiency? Various factors need to be brought into play - they negotiate it out; reach a loan modification agreement and that way the homeowner stays in the property and usually pays a reduced monthly rate. I'm Carl Person; I'm a New York lawyer, and my job is to help people stay in their homes.

Do orders of protection work in Arizona?

The Baker Law Firm LLC

Orders of protection are very effective in Arizona. The police, and all of the sheriff's departments have databases that keep people who have orders of protection on an online database. This database can be accessed by any police agency. If a defendant breaks that order of protection, they will be arrested, and they will be booked. They will be taken down to a jail, and they will be charged with interference with judicial proceedings. If a person feels genuine and sincere danger or harassment from another individual, an order of protection is a very effective means at protecting one's self. My name is Mike Baker of the Baker Law Firm. We serve individuals and families all over the state of Arizona in criminal law matters such as drug possession, domestic violence, and assault.

When do I have to return to work after my pregnancy?

The Schlehr Law Firm

When you need to return to work after your pregnancy depends on many factors. Different leave laws have different requirements. For example, the most common leave law, the Family and Medical Leave Act, requires that you have worked for your employer for at least a year, that you've worked at least 1250 hours in that year, and that your employer has at least 50 employees working within a 75-mile radius of your job site. If your employer meets those requirements and you meet those requirements, you can take up to 12 weeks of bonding leave with your child. My name is Sarah Schlehr of the Schlehr Law Firm. I work to protect California employees from discrimination and harassment in the workplace.

Can I still see my own doctor if I've been injured at work?

Kantrovitz & Associates, P.C.

"A common misconception in worker's compensation is that an injured worker is required to treat under the direction of a doctor appointed by the insurance company. That is unequivocally untrue. That a person has a right to treat with a doctor of their choosing and have that doctor direct that care and as to when they're capable of returning to work.

Are there pregnancy leave laws in California?

The Schlehr Law Firm

There are several laws that relate to pregnancy and leave from work in California. Some of these laws are federal laws like the family and leave act. Some are State laws like the Pregnancy Disability Leave Law in the California Family Rights Act. Each of those laws entitles the woman to take protective from work. In addition to that California has something called Paid Family Leave. This does not protect your job while you take leave from work but it does provide for partial wage reimbursement when you take another form of leave. My name is Sarah Schlehr of the Schlehr Law firm, I work to protect Californian employees from discrimination and harassment from the work place.

What laws protect me from workplace harassment in New York?

The Harman Firm, P.C.

There are no laws in New York that prevent an employee from being harassed in the state of New York. It's a common misunderstanding that many employees have, they believe that if their boss is being rude to them, is being hostile to them, is giving them more work than someone else, that that is legal. I often receive phone calls by people who believe that they have a cause of action for wrongful termination. There's no such thing as wrongful termination in New York, it's a broad term that is used to describe employment discrimination, but it does not protect someone who is just merely being harassed in the workplace. 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.

It is the employers obligation to provide women with information about the amount of leave and the types of leave they are entitled to take.

Can I return to work later after receiving Social Security Disability?

Kantrovitz & Associates, P.C.

If you're receiving Social Security disability benefits and it's your intent to return to work, you do have a nine month trial work period. If you do return to work, and your return to work lasts longer than nine months then your return is successful and you'll no longer be eligible for Social Security disability benefits. If your return to work is less than nine months, then your return to work will be deemed unsuccessful and you will continue to receive Social Security disability benefits without having to file another application.

What is workers' compensation?

Kantrovitz & Associates, P.C.

If somebody in Massachusetts has an injury while they're at work and they are unable to earn their wages and/or require medical care, they're going to be covered for their lost wages and their medical treatment. The question or the issue of fault is irrelevant. We don't ask the question of "Was it John's fault when he fell down a flight of stairs at work, or lifted the box at work," that's not the question. The question is whether or not they were an employee, whether or not they were hurt while they were working and whether or not they are disabled from performing the functions of their job and/or require medical care, period.

What is the breath test and how does it work in California?

The Law Offices of Virginia L Landry, Inc.

In California, if you choose to take a breath test, you blow into a tube. That tube has air that goes through it and they take, sort of like, a snap shot of the air that is blown through the tube at any given time and they convert that to some alcohol reading that'll be used against you at the DMV and in court. The breath test monitors how many little molecules of alcohol you have in this chamber. It's not very scientific. There are ways to beat those breath testing cases, but you still are required to complete either a blood or a breath test. I'm Virginia Landry. For the last 19 years in Orange County, I've helped when bad things happen to good people. If you've been arrested for a DUI, please call.

Why do I need a lawyer to file a workers' compensation claim?

Kantrovitz & Associates, P.C.

The biggest problems that you face in a worker’s compensation case are principally dealing with issues of what they call extent of disability. Initially when someone first gets hurt at work, it’s pretty straightforward – they can’t do the functions of their job. And then if they have an injury that turns out to be more significant, that doesn’t allow them to go back and do their previous line of employment, the question then shifts to can they do any type of a job in the greater open labor market. And what I always like to say is that, without proper representation, that insurance companies and insurance company lawyers will assume anything that they want to assume. My name is attorney Stephen Kantrovitz of Kantrovitz and Associates. For the past twenty years, we’ve been representing individuals in the Greater Boston area in worker’s compensation, personal injury, and social security disability claims.

What types of injuries are covered by workers' compensation?

Kantrovitz & Associates, P.C.

Worker's Compensation covers injuries or accidents that arise in the course of your employment. Many of them are very obvious. You know, I bent down and I lifted something up awkwardly, and I had an acute injury to my back or my neck. And the ones that become far more difficult and where people really don't understand their coverage are the repetitive type injuries, that - the types of injuries that happen over time, that my job requires me to lift heavy things day in and day out; and over time my body breaks down where I can't do the functions of my job. People unfortunately don't know that that is exactly what Worker's Compensation covers, that they feel it has to be some specific acute identifiable event. And that's not what the statute requires. My name is attorney Stephen (sp?) Kantrovitz of Kantrovitz & Associates. For the past 20 years we have been representing individuals in the greater Boston area in worker's Compensation, personal injury and Social Security disability claims.

To recover money, do I need to sue after an auto accident?

Bisnar Chase LLP

Most people that have been injured in an automobile accident do not technically sue. If they are injured, they make a claim and there is a difference between a claim and a lawsuit. A claim is you present a claim to the insurance company and you work out a hopefully fair settlement. If you don't work out a fair settlement, if you don't get the money that you believe you are entitled to, that's when you go to a lawsuit. And lawsuits on personal injury accidents on auto accidents in California have been declining every year for the last ten to fifteen years.

Must employers in California accomodate my pregnancy?

Employers must reasonably accommodate pregnancies in California.

They also need to accommodate any special needs in the workplace. So, whether there's a restriction to not lift over a certain number of pounds or an employee needs additional breaks to eat consistently or an employee has morning sickness and needs time to come in to work late, employers must accommodate those needs.

If you're from out of state and you get convicted in California for a driving under the influence allegation, the Department of Motor Vehicles here in California cannot take away your driver's license capability, but they can report back to your home state. If California lets your home state know that you've been convicted out here, each individual state has their own rules that they can pretend your conviction happened in their state, so you need to work with a qualified professional in your home state to make sure that there won't be any negative conviction information that affects your ability to work at home. I'm Virginia Landry. For the last 19 years in Orange County, I've helped when bad things happen to good people. If you've been arrested for DUI, please call.

How do I find a lawyer if I'm the victim of a Metro Link accident?

Girardi & Keese Lawyers

Maybe one would ask, if I got hurt in a Metrolink crash, who should I call upon? What lawyer can help me? You know, that’s a real good question. The medical community has done a much better job at guiding people to the right person because of the medical problem you may have. If your little child is sick, you know you need to go to a pediatrician. If you break your leg, you need to go to an orthopedic surgeon. On the other hand for lawyers all it says is: lawyer. You know - lawyer one flight up. And the only way really I think you can get a handle on this is to do some investigation yourself. Services like Legal Faces do an awful lot to give you a handle on the lawyers that are out there, the type of work they do, and how they are successful. My name is Tom Girardi. I’m the senior partner of Girardi Keese. For the past forty-four years we’ve helped people in California who’ve been seriously harmed. I am very proud of the work that we have done and the role that we have played.

How do I recognize if my child suffered a birth injury?

Thomas M. Kiley and Associates, LLP

Many times when parents come to us with a question about what happened to their child, they start to notice that the child isn't reaching milestones. Has an inability to roll over as a young infant. Inability to crawl or stand and maybe doesn't have balance. And they're starting to question what's wrong with the child because they don't necessarily understand that something traumatic happened during the birth process. And as soon as parents start to notice those signs, not only should they get a medical work up but they should seek out an attorney who can sort through the medical records and advise them as to whether or not something happened during the birth. I'm attorney Tom Kiley. I've been representing the seriously injured and their families in Massachusetts for over three decades.

Bankruptcy or a mortgage foreclosure defense?

Carl E. Person

The issue arises whether people should just file for bankruptcy or deal with a foreclosure action. My feeling is that if you have two options, don't use both of them at one time. I think there's an orderly progression. I think, on one hand, fight the foreclosure and if that doesn't work, then deal with bankruptcy. But I view the foreclosure proceeding as the first thing to do and I urge people to plan ahead and kick off the foreclosure by stopping payment when you know that you won't be able to pay any longer.

What rights do I have against foreclosure in New York?

Carl E. Person

A mortgage foreclosure proceeding involves rights on the part of the borrower and that is to defend the action with whatever defenses that borrower may have. An unusual defense that I see now, and I don't know if it will work, but it should at least be tried, and that is that the bank, contrary to the expectations of the borrower, quite often has sold the mortgage to a pool and has broken it up so that there is nobody in charge, there's no one that owns the mortgage, and therefore when the borrower runs into trouble they can't call a local bank as in "It's A Wonderful Life" and say I'm in trouble will you give me a break. That is contrary to the expectations of the borrower. I'm Carl Person, a New York lawyer and a fighter to keep people in their homes.

How can lawyers help me avoid getting ripped off at the pump from hot gas?

Girardi & Keese Lawyers

We all see hits on lawyers who handle these class-actions. This may come as a big surprise to you, but the people making the hits are those who defrauded, by and large, the community. You and me, when we're buying goods.

What is being done to remedy gas ripoffs from hot gas?

Girardi & Keese Lawyers

Right now there are several class actions in which the people who live in the hot states, the southern states, California, Arizona, Nevada, Florida, are all part of a class that is before the court and the court has combined all of those cases of the 28 hot states together. And the idea would be that therefore there'll be one trial with everybody represented in the hot states to try and stop this massive injustice. My name is Tom Gerardi.

Why don't gas stations in California regulate the hot gas problem?

Girardi & Keese Lawyers

California gas stations don't have pump regulators because they don't want to. They can claim that, "Oh my goodness, we can't do this because of the weights and measures," or whatever the song and dance is. And as a matter of fact is, this particular matter has been brought to the attention of some legislators. They are standing there in the background saying, "You guys better correct this, Girardi, with this class action or we are going to have to do something." My name is Tom Girardi.
