What's the first step in a debt settlement program?

Howard | Nassiri, LLP

In California, your first move in deciding you want to enter into a debt settlement program is to contact someone you trust and feel comfortable with. Once you’ve done that, usually what they’re going to instruct you to do is to stop making payments on your credit cards. And remember, this may adversely affect your credit scores. But you have to look at it this way. If you’re already reaching out to someone needing that help, your credit score’s probably being impacted already by not making payments at all or making slow payments altogether. After that you’re going to do a financial assessment to see if debt settlement is right for you. And then you’re going to start making payments into a trust account that is designed to hold your money and use that money to settle your unsecured debt. 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 an attorney you can trust, go ahead and give us a call.

What should I do first after a motorcycle accident in New York?

Proner & Proner

The first thing you want to do after a motorcycle accident in New York, or anywhere in the United States, is do a quick body check. From your toes to the top of your head, "Do I feel anything? Is anything bothering me? Is anything tingling? Is anything hurting? Am I in pain anywhere?" And if you feel any symptoms, you want somebody to contact an ambulance and go to a hospital and get yourself checked out. Even though you might be concerned about the cost of that ambulance ride and the cost of that hospital visit, it's more important to get your health taken care than to worry about what happens to your bike afterwards. Then, immediately after that, if you sustained injuries, contact an attorney so that attorney can get to work on safeguarding any evidence and doing what they can to make sure that you get as much money as possible as quickly as possible. 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.

Carl E. Person

When a person feels like there is going to be a crisis coming up because of sickness or loss of job, loss of income, and therefore they won't be able to continue paying their mortgage, they should think ahead of time, maybe even six months in advance, see an attorney and talk with the attorney and see whether it is not appropriate now to stop paying the mortgage and save that money- fourteen months worth of mortgage payments. Use that to defend the action and then to obtain from the bank a modification agreement once they are in foreclosure. I am Carl Person.

First step you should take if you feel that you have been a victim of the predatory loan in California is that you should contact an attorney, a good attorney who is experienced in truth and lending matters, predatory lending matters will be able to give you free consultation, sit down talk with you and figure out if there is something that we can do.

What do I do if a debt collector has violated the law?

Howard | Nassiri, LLP

In California, if you believe a debt collector has cross the line or violated the law, what you first must do is document the wrongdoing. So many times I have clients that come in and they tell me in general that a debt collector has crossed the line, but what I specifically need to know, or what an attorney needs to know is what exactly were the bad acts? For example, a common violation is phone calls- harassing phone calls by the debt collectors after the given time periods. Or they've said harassing or abusive things to that consumer. You need to document that, get the time, date, who you spoke with and what was said, and give that over to your attorney and that's the first step in prosecuting one of these claims. I'm Vincent Howard, senior and managing partner for Howard Nassiri. We word hard every day representing the consumer from our headquarters in Orange County, CA.

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's the #1 mistake people make after a car accident?

The Roberts Law Firm

When people come to me and they tell me they have been involved in a car accident the first thing I ask them is what have you discussed with anyone else about the accident and most troublesome thing that they can tell me is that they've talked to the insurance company for the person that caused their accident and then even worse they tell me that they've given a statement under oath and recorded to that insurance company and I always tell them that insurance company is not looking out for their best interest and so often that recording or that statement will be used against them down the road.

Are there non jail alternative programs for drug crimes in Arizona?

The Baker Law Firm LLC

In Arizona, drug crimes often will have an opportunity to be treated outside of the jail system. In fact, all crimes that involve first-time possession of drugs in Arizona will be eligible either for a drug court program, they will be eligible for a diversion program or at the very worst a supervisory probation program that will allow that person to prove themselves outside in the community so that they do not have the stigma of being a felon in this country.

Are there happy endings in Domestic Violence cases in Arizona?

The Baker Law Firm LLC

Fortunately in Arizona, many jurisdictions for first time domestic violence situations will offer a diversion program for offenders, which would include many, many weeks of education for domestic violence offenders, including anger management, alcohol education, etc. It is very important, however, to understand that these matters will not sound the death knell for families. They can often be worked through and often times the charges will be dismissed. My name is Mike Baker of the Baker Law Firm.

How long do restraining orders last in Massachusetts?

Altman & Altman, LLP

In Massachusetts, restraining orders are allowed after what's called a 209A hearing. The 209A hearing is really two tiered. First, the complainant comes by themselves, asks the judge for a temporary order - temporary restraining order - keeping the other party away because they're in fear. That's allowed for usually about a week. Then, the defense comes in and there's the second tier. If the defendant loses then, the restraining order that's allowed lasts for about a year. I'm Sam Goldberg, lead Counsel for criminal defense matters in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I have 25 years of experience.

Is there a statute of limitations on filing a pregnancy discrimination claim in California?

The Schlehr Law Firm

There is a statute of limitations for filing a pregnancy discrimination claim in California. There are actually several statutes of limitations because a woman must first file a complaint with an administrative agency, either the Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or with the State Department of Fair Employment and Housing. After filing a complaint with either of these agencies, a woman may request an immediate right to sue and after she receives that right to sue, she has one year to file a complaint in court. My name is Sarah Schlehr of the Schlehr Law Firm. I work to protect California employees from discrimination and harassment in the workplace.

Law Offices of James Sokolove, LLC

If someone is injured and sustains catastrophic injury as a result of a defective product, and they are searching for an attorney to handle a product liability lawsuit, they should look for the same types of things that they should look for in any personal injury attorney, which first of all is experience in that particular field and the law firm having the wherewithal, the funding and the finance to take this case all the way through. Because its going to be very expensive for the law firm to take this case from discovery through trial, so you want to go to a firm that has had trial experience and has the capital and the experience to bring these cases forward.

What should I do after a dog attack?

Bisnar Chase LLP

The procedure after a dog attack is, of course, first getting medical attention. That's foremost. But as far as a dog bite claim, what's important is identifying the dog and then identifying the owner. Taking pictures of the wounds is huge, because a picture tells a thousand words, and a wound doesn't look so bad six months after it's been healed up, but it looks really bad right in the beginning. And an insurance adjuster or a jury is never going to understand how bad the bite was unless you have early photographs. I'm John Bisnar, the senior partner of the Bisnar/Chase Law Firm.

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 can a lawyer help me keep my home in New York?

Carl E. Person

In New York a lawyer can help a borrower who's running into trouble with a home, with a mortgage. And first of all the lawyer should consider whether it's appropriate to stop paying the mortgage right now because of this financial trouble. And then invite a foreclosure. The bank, upon nonpayment, will sue. And then the lawyer should defend, within 20 days after the service of the summons and complaint. In doing so the bank will then say, oh my god there're defending the foreclosure, how unique. Most people don't defend. And the bank will then be more readily agreeable to a modification after the suit is brought when they weren't willing to do the same thing before the suit was brought. I'm Carl Pierceson. I'm a New York lawyer and my job is to help people stay in their homes.

What's the secret to getting a big auto accident settlement?

The Roberts Law Firm

The way that insurance companies value, out of the accident cases is they look at the damage to the vehicles, and then they look at the damage to the person, and then they look at the quality of the attorney that you represent in the person. You take these three things together and that’s going to either result in a, mediocre solemn or its going to get you a good solemn. The more property damage, the more the insurance company is going to believes you have been hurt. The more the medical bills that you have, the more that represents the type of injuries you had. And the better your attorney, the harder they are going to work, to get to you a great solemn. I am Jeff Roberts, of the Roberts Law Firm.

How long will I go to jail for a sex crime conviction?

Altman & Altman, LLP

If you are convicted of a sex crime in Massachusetts, how much time you end up serving, if any, depends on a few things. First and foremost, the circumstances of the case. Was there a weapon involved? Was it rape? Was it indecent assault and battery? How old was the victim? What is the relationship between the victim and the defendant? Those types of things. It's also going to depend upon your defense, frankly, because whatever you have brought to your defense, and played out during the case and presented to the judge, the judge is going to take all those things into account when determining sentencing. I'm Sam Goldberg, Lead Counsel for criminal defense matters at Altman & Altman in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I have 25 years of experience. If you're in trouble and you need someone in your court who cares and will fight for you, give me a call.

How does a hate crime accusation raise the stakes in an assault case?

Altman & Altman, LLP

In Massachusetts we are very concerned about hate crimes. People are extremely sensitive to those hate crimes be it the hatred based on gender, race, sexual orientation, what have you. As a result those cases are going to first of all get more publicity and second of all be treated more harshly in the courts. It's going to be tougher. Even if in a regular assault case, for example, you might be able to get it - the case dismissed or work out a plea bargain where there is no jail, well if it's a hate crime, particularly because of the public exposure a prosecutor is going to be very reluctant -- as is the judge -- to give any kind of leniency. I am Sam Goldberg, lead counsel for criminal defense matters at Altman & Altman in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I have 25 years of experience. If you are in trouble and you need someone in your corner who cares and will fight for you, give me a call.

How much money in a college sexual harassment case?

The Harman Firm, P.C.

The compensation in a college sexual harrassent case is more difficult to assess. It depends often on the emotional injuries that the particular student, for instance, has suffered. So it would depend on how bad, for instance, the sexual harrasment was. Was there forced sexual activity? That would be a case where there might be higher emotional injuries and therefore higher damages. So it's really difficult to assess that. And I would recommend to anyone that believes they're being sexual harrased on a college campus seek the advice of an attorney so that they can help you assess whether you have a case, in the first instance and also what kind of damages could could evolve out of that case. My name is Walker Harmon. I'm the managing attorney of the Harmon Firm. If you believe you've been the victim of illegal employment discrimination, we are eager to speak with you.

Are motorcycle accidents on the rise in New York?

Motorcycle accidents have always been a significant portion of the accidents in New York, of all motor vehicle accidents. Currently they're not on the rise, but they are on the rise in certain demographics.

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 should I do if I'm being sexually harassed?

The Harman Firm, P.C.

If you believe you're being sexually harassed, the most important thing to do is to let the person who you believe is sexually harassing you know that the conduct is unwanted. Because someone cannot be held accountable for, um, conduct that they're not aware of that is, um, disapproving to another person. You've got to let them know you don't like it. The second thing is you've got to let the employer know because if you're going to hold them liable for their employee's conduct, say your boss, you've got to let the company know. So you need to go to HR, you need to file a report, you need to put it in writing, and you need to keep a copy of it. [Um] It's difficult in the first instance to know whether you're being sexually harassed but if you feel you are, let the person know you don't like it, let the company know that the person is doing something that you don't like. My name is Walker Harmon. I'm the managing attorney of the Harmon Firm. If you believe you've been the victim of illegal employment discrimination, we are eager to speak with you.

What's most difficult about being a foreclosure attorney?

Carl E. Person

The difficult thing about my practice is that I represent people in distress, and distress is an economic situation. They have less money. They have less faith. They have...they're scared they are going to lose everything they have, and they come to me and they want me to help them. I can't help everyone that is in that dire circumstance. The best thing they can do is come to a lawyer--me or some other lawyer when they first have a foreclosure action against them. Then we can help them inexpensively and do a much better job than when they come belatedly. Or, they should get in there early and advise them to stop paying their mortgage so that they don't waste their money, and that they can precipitate a foreclosure and a modification more readily by doing it quickly, by stopping payment. That is what people need to know, and they don't know this. Instead, they talk with the bank, and the foreclosure is taking place. The foreclosure is going to happen. The faceless person at the bank does not call up the law firm and stop the foreclosure. They think it happens that way. I don't see it happening that way at all. So, the foreclosure is racing along, and then it's in default. And then they come to me saying that, "Oh my God, I'm gonna lose the property." What these people need to know in advance is that they don't have to lose a property that way, and it is not expensive to defend a foreclosure action if you do it timely. I'm Karl Pierson, a New York lawyer and a fighter to keep people in their homes.
