When is it okay not to pay a mortgage in New York?

It is okay not to pay a mortgage in New York when you don't have any money. What else are you going to do? You're not going to steal from a gas station to pay your mortgage nor should you steal from your retirement or from your credit cards. If you can't make the payment, stop paying and then invite a foreclosure action, defend the foreclosure action and then reach a modification agreement to end the lawsuit. I'm Carl Person, I'm a New York lawyer and my job is to help people stay in their homes.

Why do insurance companies limit car accident pay-outs?

Insurance companies limit payouts because that's where their profit is. You got to remember that when you pay your auto insurance premium only two or three percent of that dollar that you pay in premium goes to profit. However, every dollar saved on your claim is a dollar of profit. So therefore, it's 33 times more profitable for the insurance company to save a dollar on your claim than it is to get a dollar in premium payments. They are in the business to make money. They are in the truth, justice, fairness in American way business. They are for-profit business, and they will make their profit wherever they can.

When you've been involved in an accident and you're going to be making a claim for your injuries against the driver that caused it, trust me. You're not in good hands with that insurance company.

Are lost wages covered after a motorcycle accident in NY?

After a motorcycle accident in New York, lost wages are not covered under the motorcycle's insurance policy because motorcycles were excluded from the no fault law. Consequently, lost wages will ultimately be realized by the party at fault through their insurance carrier, but that's going to be at the end of the claim, not at the onset. So, if you have lost wages after a motorcycle accident, you can either get that money for your lost wages through either your employer's disability policy, or in the alternative, if the accident happened while you were working, you are entitled to lost wages through a workman's comp claim.

How do hot gas ripoffs affect our California gas taxes?

When you pay the gas tax, you pay a certain portion for the state on every gallon, certain portion to the feds on every gallon. However, when the Chevrons of the world and Shell and everybody else, they're all the same, when they go pay the state and they go pay the feds, say on ten thousand gallons, they say, "You know we really didn't sell ten thousand. We're gonna temperature adjust it. We only sold 9,400." Then you know what they do with that tax money? They keep it. They keep the differential. I know you don't believe me, but I promise you that's the case. This is not a situation where a lawyer is saying, "This is what happened" and the oil company is saying, "Oh no, this is what happened", the fact of the matter is, they've agreed that that's exactly what they do. My name is Tom Giradi. I'm the senior partner or Giradi/Keese. For the past forty four years, we have helped people in California who have been seriously harmed.

Do banks in New York like to do loan modifications?

They want to have the properties that are not paying them money to start paying them money once again. And when people can’t pay them money the only way they can do it is to pay less per month, then the bank is willing to reach an agreement called a modification agreement so that that will take place, yes.

How does false advertising contribute to mortgage foreclosures?

False advertising contributes to mortgage foreclosures in various ways. One of them is that people who should not be owning a home are encouraged to borrow the money to buy the home. And you wonder is there a group of people who shouldn't own a home? Well, if a person that buys a home doesn't have the money to properly care for the home and can't pay the taxes for the home and can't pay the mortgage payment, that person really shouldn't be buying it and it will, when that property is vacant, its going to hurt the rest of the community as well.

How is a sub-prime mortgage different from a regular mortgage?

A sub-prime mortgage is given to individuals who don't qualify with their employment record, their income, their earnings to be qualified for the prime rate. So, in many cases the small business person has no earnings, they somehow live, they don't necessarily pay taxes, and when they try to qualify for a mortgage, the bank laughs because you have no income. So the sub-prime was set up basically for those people that couldn't prove that they could pay a mortgage but many other people who don't have any earnings, don't have any income were also included, and that was a mistake. I'm Carl Person. I'm a New York lawyer and my job is to help people stay in their homes.

When is the right time to initiate a mortgage defense?

The bank determines when the foreclosure preceding begins, but the borrower has an opportunity of deciding for himself or herself when he or she wants the bank to begin this. And the way its done is that a borrower realizes that six months from now, I don't have any money. I'm not going to be able to pay the foreclosure or pay the mortgage in six months. So why spend all of your money between now and six months and give the bank everything you have. Stop paying! Right now! Stop paying. Precipitate a foreclosure right now and you will have fourteen months of not having to pay the mortgage and you can then force the bank, if you have appropriate circumstances, you can force the bank into reaching a modification agreement which right now, today, they won't give you! That's why you're here talking with me, because the bank won't give you a modification. Let's force them to do it by bringing them into court, force them to sue you, you defend and then you can have the relief you are seeking. I'm Carl Person.

Why do auto insurance companies try so hard to limit payouts?

Insurance companies in Massachusetts, that insure automobiles, are in business to make a profit. The profit they make on the premiums is very small, but every dollar they save on your claim is profit. So they have a built in incentive to pay as little as possible on your claim.

Can I sue if the other driver has no insurance?

You also have to consider the ability to pay of the person who caused the accident. If the person who causes your auto accident has no insurance, has no assets, no matter how big your injury is, your claim is worth nothing. If they've got a fifteen thousand dollar policy, and you have a big injury, then probably your claim is going to be worth fifteen thousand dollars. If someone has a million dollar policy, and you have a claim that's worth twenty-five thousand dollars, your claim is worth twenty-five thousand dollars. So the value of an auto accident injury claim is based upon what you lost, how big your injury is, and the ability of the wrongdoer to pay.

Can I modify my commercial property mortage in NY?

If a person owning commercial property has a mortgage, it's almost the same thing as a tenant in a commercial property going up to the landlord and saying "Look we're having tough times now. I can't pay $80000 a month, I can pay $65000 a month and stay here otherwise I'm just going to have to vacate or go into bankruptcy". So the landlord would say "Okay fine. Let's modify the lease". The same thing is true about a mortgage, that an owner can reach a modification with respect to commercial property when you explain the facts, and the lender is willing you could have a modification. There's nothing prohibiting it, it has to be done by agreement. I'm Carl Person. I'm a New York lawyer and my job is to help people stay in their homes.

Does the bank want to take my home in New York?

The bank wants to take your home in order to sell the home and pay off the mortgage and then it's no longer on the books as a non-performing loan. Years ago, maybe a year or two ago, a bank would relish the opportunity of taking over the property, buying it in at a foreclosure sale, and then selling it to someone else and having a new mortgage on it, but now there are too many houses coming into foreclosure and the banks don't want that inventory. They don't want the property to be non-performing, they want to reach an agreement if they can and have the property continue to pay the bank money. That's their objective now.

How much money in a workplace sexual harassment case?

That's your loss to pay either while working at the job, meaning they failed to pay you as much as you were entitled to or after you were terminated and that's the money that you lost while you weren't working. The second is emotional injuries, pain and suffering, and that will greatly depend on, of course, how much you suffered and whether you sought psychologial or psychiatric treatment for that suffering. And there are also other types of damages that you can seek as well, such as, in certain limited cases, punitive damages and also attorney's fees. My name is Walker Harmon.

How much money in gender discrimination cases?

Damages in gender discrimination cases are assessed in much the same way damages are assessed in race discrimination cases or age discrimination cases. You get your lost pay, so if you're demoted and you prove that you've been discriminated against because of your gender, you get the difference between what you should have been paid and the pay you were demoted to. You're terminated and you prove that you've discriminated against because of your gender, you get a stream of lost income going into the future, not indefinitely but up until you get a job, for a reasonable period of time. You're also entitled to emotional injuries and other types of injuries such as, perhaps, in certain instances punitive damages and attorney's fees. My name is Walker Harman.

Tom Kiley: If you're in a car accident and you have minor injuries, you can represent yourself against the insurance company, but the deck is stacked against you. Insurance adjusters are trained to pay as little as possible on claims. And although you may be bright and be a good negotiator; you don't have a point of reference with respect to the value of your claim. That's why you need an experienced attorny.

The number one mistake that I see in victims of motorcycle accidents that try to handle it themselves is talking to the adjustor from the insurance company, believing the adjustor is their friend or is going to help them, giving them statements without the advice of counsel and many times making big mistakes that prevent them from getting a full recovery. The insurance adjustor is not your friend. He's trained to act like your friend. His objective is to pay you as little money as possible. I'm attorney Tom Kiley. I've been representing the seriously injured and their families in Massachusetts for over three decades.

Is there a defense against the field sobriety test in California?

There are things that you can do in defense of those standardized field sobriety tests. The police officer is going to give you a verbal demonstration, and in that verbal demonstration, you have to pay attention to what the parts are. If the police officer doesn't give you the instructions correctly, that is an ultimate defense in trial about whether or not they were properly given by the police officer. In addition to that, if the physical demonstration that the police officer gave you was not according to the standardized test requirements, you can also beat those cases. I'm Virginia Landry.

How do I get my license back after a DUI conviction in California?

"If you've been convincted of driving under the influence of alcohol in California and it's a first conviction, to get your license reinstated, you need to enroll in a alcohol education program. You need to pay a $125.00 reissue fee to the California Department of Motor Vehicles, and have a special form proof of insurance which you get from your insurance carrier.

Are loans modifications common in New York?

In New York, a loan modification is the desire of both sides when you have a forclosure. If you have a forclosure action both sides would really like to see modification if the modification is acceptable, and that will make the property pay for itself once again where the bank will get a monthly payment and the borrower will remain in possession. That's the desire that's the hope for all of these procedings. I'm Carl Person, a New York lawyer, and a fighter to keep people in their homes.

I just lost my job! How can I keep my home?

If a person who has just lost his job wants to save his home, there is two things to do. Number one, tell the bank that you can't pay the mortgage the way it is and ask for a modification agreement. The bank sometimes will agree and other times not. If the bank refuses to agree to a modification, then stop paying the mortgage. Precipitate a lawsuit. Defend the lawsuit, and then you will have a better chance of reaching the modification that you want. I'm Carl Person. I'm New York lawyer, and my job is to help people stay in their homes.

How can I lower my mortgage payment in New York?

In New York a person can lower his mortgage payment by having a good case to present to the bank that, "I have been sick. I have lost the income." In one case a person's house got a broken back; and as a result it was a structural defect in the house and it caused the house to have half its value. I said, "Negotiate with the bank based upon the new value, and that'll cut your payments in half. You'll only pay half as much and only owe half as much." Facts: The bank wants to listen to facts.

Do banks in New York want to lower my interest rate?

Banks would like to make properties pay when they have a mortgage outstanding. And in many cases, the banks will have to lower the interest rate in order to make the mortgage payment affordable by the person living in the home. So that the banks may not like it, but they do recognize that the way of keeping toxic mortgages off their books is to bring them back to life by making the mortgages affordable. In that way they do lower interest rates and that is done in a modification agreement. I’m Carl Person, a New York lawyer and a fighter to keep people in their homes.

What is a loan modification?

In New York, as in other states, a loan modification is where the bank and the borrower reach an agreement, which generally reduces the monthly payment that the borrower has to make. In some cases, they throw that unpaid amount at the far end, so that the length of the mortgage is more it's greater length in order to pay back the money that isn't being paid today, but all that is subject to negotiation.

How does a loan modification work?

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.

Bankruptcy or a mortgage foreclosure defense?

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. I'm Carl Person, a New York lawyer and a fighter to keep people in their homes.

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

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.

Should I stop paying my mortgage if I'm near foreclosure?

If you're running out of money and the question is should you stop paying your mortgage, the answer is see an attorney, describe what's happening, and the attorney should consider whether you should stop paying it and precipitate a foreclosure so that you can save the money that you do have for the next fourteen months and be able to pay an attorney to defend yourself, so that yes a person could do this and should at least see an attorney to decide whether or not it's appropriate.

What is my 2nd line of defense against mortgage foreclosure?

The second line of defense in a mortgage foreclosure situation is to retain an attorney to file an answer, and do so within 20 days after the summons and complaint have been served. This is critical. It is easy to defend a foreclosure action if you do the defense in a timely basis. It is exceedingly costly and difficult if you have allowed the defense to go by the boards. Don't do it. Defend the action, hire the attorney, pay the money, and you will be sitting a lot better than if you let it go until later and then try to resurrect your situation.

Are sub-prime mortgages eligible for a loan modification?

Subprime mortgages are the ones that basically are being forclosed, and they, yes they are as eligible if not more eligible because in many cases the borrower really did qualify for a lower rate and they gave them a higher rate in order to pay a mortgage broker who looked around for the bank that would give the mortgage broker the most money and the bank then tacked it on and charged a higher rate than the bank should have.

Do most car accident lawsuits settle of go to trial?

Well I think there's a paradox there. If you've got a skilled attorney that knows how to try a case, your case is more likely to settle. If you don't have a skilled attorney who doesn't know how to try a case, either the carrier is not going to pay you full value on the claim or its got to be tried and at that point that attorney might refer the case to another attorney who does try cases so that's a good thing to ask your attorney at the outset is "do you actually try cases?"

What is the hot gas class action lawsuit?

If you pull up to a gas station and get ten gallons of gas and it's warmer than sixty-two degrees, due to the fact that the gas in the tank expands at Chevron or Exxon or whatever, you get ten gallons, but you don't get ten gallons of energy. As a matter of fact, if it's eighty-four degrees outside and you get ten gallons of gas and you usually get thirty miles to the gallon, you're only going to get twenty-six, so that's kind of the case. However, watch this, when Exxon goes to pay the state the gas tax, the feds the gas tax, say on ten-thousand gallons, they say you know we didn't really sell ten-thousand gallons. Temperature adjusted we only sold nine-thousand-six-hundred. They pay taxes on nine-thousand-six-hundred and then they simply keep the rest of it. And the whole idea here is that we want to get all of these gas stations to put in a gauge so you get a full ten gallons. My name is Tom Girardi. I'm the senior partner of Girardi-Keese.

The cost in a medical malpractice lawsuit is incurred by the attorneys. The attorneys in New York will pay the disbursements that are associated with prosecuting the case. If there's no recovery, the attorneys are allowed to absorb those expenses and not pass them on to a client. If there is a recovery, then those out-of-pocket disbursements are paid back to the lawyer. The range of disbursements in a malpractice case can be as low as five or six thousand dollars, and it can go above a hundred thousand dollars, if there's a lawsuit involved and a trial involved.

Are car accident lawsuits common in Massachusetts?

"Many people who haven't been in car accidents think that if that happened to them, they're just going to call their insurance agent and that their car is going to be fixed, their medical bills are going to be paid, they're going to be paid for their time out of work, and they're going to be paid for the pain and suffering of this horrible experience that they've had. That's not the case. Insurance companies, they're in business to make a profit. They make a profit by paying as little as possible on your claim. The adjusters are trained to do this. Even with an experienced attorney involved, they still resist paying full value on claims. That's why many times these cases require being taken to court to hold the insurance company accountable to ensure that they pay full value for what happened to you.

How do debt settlement programs in California work?

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.

Who best qualifies for a loan modification?

The person who best qualifies for a loan modification agreement in New York is somebody that is asking for a very slight change and who is capable of paying everything that they promise in the new agreement to pay. But that is not what people want who are facing a huge increase in the monthly payment. They want a huge decrease in the monthly payment. Somewhere between a small amount and a huge amount of decrease is where the negotiations lie. The bank may only be willing to reduce it by $750 a month and the borrower may want a $1,500 reduction per month, so if they can't reach an agreement then court will be the one, once the bank goes into court and you file an answer defending the foreclosure action, the bank is more apt to accept the more onerous agreement.

Can I prevent a foreclosure from happening to me in NY?

Whether a borrower can actually stop a fore closer forever depends on the facts so that I can't say across the board that a borrower that defends a fore closer is going to win. The victory in many cases is the delay that the borrower needs to be to get his or her own act together and be able to force the bank to accept less money and that is something that at a lower rate of interest the borrower would be able to do and that would bring the property back to performing. The bank wants the property to perform, the borrower wants to remain in the property, the borrower wants to pay a reasonable amount, and this is what a fore closer action and an adequate defense can achieve for all the parties. I'm Carl Person, a New York lawyer, and a fighter to keep people in their homes.

What is the status of the flat-panel screen price fixing lawsuit?

I'd like to bring you up to date on what the status of this case is with respect to price-fixing of flat panel screens. Two things have gone on. One, the civil case is proceeding. The civil case is the case in which we represent the people who bought these screens. Almost more importantly, the government is proceeding. They're proceeding, and they've actually gotten two pleas of criminal conduct by two of the manufacturers, and we think there are more to come. With that sort of pressure on these people, sooner or later they're going to have to do the right thing. One, they're not going to do it anymore, and secondly, they're going to have to pay for the amount of overcharges that they have charged you, who bought one of these things over the last three years. My name is Tom Girardi. I'm the senior partner of Girardi/Keese. For the past 44 years, we have helped people in California who have been seriously harmed. I'm very proud of the work we've done and the role that we have played.

How is debt divided in Arizona?

In Arizona, debt is divided as a community. All debt acquired during the marriage is split equally. However, in many cases one party has racked up significant amounts of debt and there is contention as to whether or not the party who did not rack up the debt should then have to pay for that person's misuse of credit. The courts will hear individuals and in trial to determine if someone has wasted community assets on things that should not have been purchased. If there is a debt problem in your dissolution of marriage, please contact an experienced attorney so that we can assist you on determining whether or not a party has unlawfully secreted assets from the marriage and had too much debt unlawfully. My name is Mike Baker of The Baker Law Firm. We serve individuals and families all over Arizona in family law matters, including divorce, child custody, child support, and parenting time matters.

What's the #1 misconception people have about dog bite injuries?

The number one misconception in the state of Massachusetts involving dog bite attacks is who's going to pay the claim, who's going to compensate you for your injuries and often times there is no insurance coverage available. Either the specific owner did not involve the insurance company or fill out the documents on their insurance application involving the dog or notifying the insurance company that they owned the dog; that may allow the insurance company to deny the claim. At the end of the day you may be left pursuing the owner of the dog personally to compensate you for your injuries. My name's Kevin McCullough with the law offices of Mazow and McCullough. If you've been injured you need legal assistance, you have questions you deserve answers to those questions and you deserve the best. Call our offices.

Should an attorney look at my employment agreement?

I believe that it is always important to hire an attorney or have an attorney review your agreement. Do you need to pay an attorney to review your agreement? Not necessarily so. But it would be my recommendation that you find an attorney, whether it be a friend or a family member, to review the language that you don't understand and have it explained to you. If you can't find someone it's worth it to spend a few hundred dollars and have an attorney review that agreement for you so that you understand it its entirety. Because many, many employees and former employees come to me and are shocked at what they had signed years and years ago and had no idea what they had signed and in fact - and in many cases hadn't even read it much less had it reviewed by an attorney. My name is Walker Harmon. I am the managing attorney of The Harmon Firm. If you believe you have been the victim of illegal employment discrimination, we are eager to speak with you.

What is a typical employment class action lawsuit?

In the employment context, a typical class-action lawsuit would be one where the employer has failed to, and in some cases deliberately, knowingly failed to pay employees, hourly employees, overtime and time-and-a-half and also violated other rights that are available under New York statue such as your right to, for instance, take a lunch break. If your employer has done that to you and to a group of similarly situated people, say all dispatchers in a company...all phone dispatchers...or all people who clean in the building and work for the same company. If that employer has violated any of those rights that I have described, that would be a typical class-action lawsuit. My name is Walker Harman. I'm the Managing Attorney of the Harman Firm. If you believe you have been the victim of illegal employment discrimination, we are eager to speak with you. Please give us a call.

What's it like to help someone stay in their home?

Feels great to help someone modify their loan because it means they are going to be able to keep the loan. It also has a bigger impact on the economy. If we can get all of these non-preforming loans to preform through loan modifications, I really, truly believe that would be as much of a help, if not more of a help, than the current bail out. Because that is the problem right now in California and across the nation, as we have all these people that are in default because they simply can't afford to pay the mortgage after it increases. After the interest rate goes up and they are good people, they are hard working people and they want to make a loan payment. It's just that the predatory loan has made it as such that they can no longer make that increased payment. My name is Damian Nassiri, I'm a partner in the law firm Howard/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 you're facing foreclosure, give us a call.

How can a loan modification help me?

In New York a loan modification could work like this: Let’s say that we have a homeowner that’s paying $4,000 a month, after having paid $2,500 a month for two years. Suddenly the, the monthly payment goes up to $4,000 because of the kicking in of the variable rate. At the same time, this borrower has had a reduction in income, so he can’t pay the $4,000. You then talk with the bank, either directly or through an agent, and see if you can’t reach a modification agreement that will prolong the, the payment period and reduce the present monthly payment. This can be done, and the bank wants people to call when they’re in trouble and see if there can be an arrangement like that. I’m Carl Person, a New York lawyer, and a fighter to keep people in their homes.

Do I have any recourse if I bought a flat-panel TV or monitor?

You know, here's what this flat-panel case is all about. Once again, the most important part of it is the future, to stop doing it because we want to protect those people that are going to buy flat-panel screens tomorrow and hereafter. On the other hand, there is also a request to try to make them pay back the money that they took illegally by fixing prices of these flat-panel screens. And that's the money we're very hopeful, if we're successful, that we're going to get back to you. You know what, lawyers aren't all bad men. You can imagine a case like this, you didn't even know what happened to you. You're just down there, putting it on your credit card, going forward. The fact of the matter is nine manufacterers of this stuff have been meeting in a garage some place saying 'This is what we're going to charge. How about that?' My name is Tom Girardi. I'm the Senior Partner of Girardi / Keese. For the past 44 years, we have helped people in California who have been seriously harmed. I'm very proud of the work we've done and the role that we've played.

How much alimony is awarded in Arizona?

In Arizona, what's been commonly referred to as 'alimony' is now turns as spousal maintenance or spousal support. Oftentimes spousal support is a contentious issue because oftentimes men who have been working in the workforce for many years are reluctant to pay their wife or significant spouse some maintenance. The only way to determine how much spousal maintenance and or spousal support should be paid to this spouse receiving the spousal maintenance is to determine what the incurred complete financial picture is of both persons who are getting the divorce.Obviously, if a person needs to receive spousal maintenance because that's the only way they can get back on their feet, spousal maintenance will be ordered by the court.

What is your experience as a foreclosure defense attorney?

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.

Why do accidents happen on the Metro Link in California?

Metrolink continues to crash because they don’t have safeguards. The fact of the matter is, there all sorts of things they could do. They know that the people in the, in the cabin of the train were suppose to yell out whenever they come across a red signal. Their all supposed to yell it out, red block, so everybody is aware. Um, they don’t do that. They’re, they’re working their crossword puzzle or on their cell phones instead. Now then, to have this sort of irresponsibility, where you have all these people on your train is insanity. The fact of the matter is, what is the Union Pacific freight train doing on the same track at the time the commuter Metrolink is headed on the same track. This is nuts. And, there’s sensors out there that could divert that, that wouldn’t let a train pass when there’s a possibility of harm. But they’ve decided it’s much cheaper, I guess, uh, to pay all the people who’ve gotten hurt, maimed, and killed than it is to do the right thing to make sure this won’t happen again. My name is Tom Girardi. I’m the senior partner of Girardi Keese. For the past 44 years we have helped people in California who have been seriously harmed. I’m very proud of the work we’ve done and the role that we’ve played.
