Will a sexual harassment case be in my employment record?

The Harman Firm, P.C.

I’m often asked how a sexual harassment claim or complaint, um, could show up later in an employee’s employment record. And there’s really no, uh, simple answer to that question. Um, it depends on whether there was a lawsuit filed, in which case, um, often times, um, that claim of harassment, will be kept confidential. Um, most em-, employers, uh, say that they will keep claims confidential. In my experience they don’t live up to that promise. So, walk through your particular situation with an attorney and express your concerns, and have the attorney guide you through the process of keeping, um, your particular claim, um, as confidential as possible. 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.

Can I expunge a DUI conviction in California?

The Law Offices of Virginia L Landry, Inc.

After you have successfully completed all of the probationary terms, in California you can request the judge to set aside that conviction as though it never happened. That's what we call an expungement. It's discretionary with the judge but as long as there as been no further criminal court cases, you have a high probability of having your conviction expunged. You still have to disclose that in an employment application depending among on how or what your work is. If you've been convicted and its been expunged, you can answer a question on an employment application that you've never been convicted of a crime. I'm Virgina Landry. For the last 19 years in Orange County, I've helped when bad things happen to good people. If you have been arrested for DUI, please call.

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

Carl E. Person

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.
