What rights do I have against foreclosure in New York?

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 an attorney help in my divorce in Arizona?

In Arizona, the importance of a divorce attorney is as follows: If both parties are able to agree as to their differences in the divorce, perhaps an attorney is not necessary. But if a party goes out and hires an attorney, my advice is that it is imperative that the other party hire an attorney so their rights are protected. Because if they do not hire an attorney, the things that the other attorney will do, in terms of how to settle the case, the actual knowledge that they have of the divorce statutes will inevitably have a negative effect on the other party. And therefore, the role of a divorce attorney is very important in protecting someone's rights, especially when the other party is represented by council. 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 is the Arizona divorce process?

In Arizona, the divorce process goes as follows. A petitioner would file a complaint with the Superior Court of Arizona. After filing that complaint, they would serve the respondent, or the other spouse, at which time that person would have 20 days to file a response to the petition for dissolution of marriage. If the person does not file a response, the parties can be divorced in 60 days pursuant to a default decree. If, however, the person files a response, the case will follow a normal trajectory in the Superior Court which could include a settlement conference, arbitration or in some cases, although not many, trial.

In Arizona, debt is divided as a community. All debt acquired during the marriage is split equally.

What does legal separation mean in Arizona?

In Arizona, the difference between legal separation and dissolution of marriage is quite simply that as a dissolution of marriage the persons are restored to the status of single persons.

One of the benefits of a legal separation is that the health insurance remains constant for both parties as they are not going to be divorced and not the status of single persons.

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.

Who gets the dog in a divorce in Arizona?

In Arizona, property that is acquired during a marriage, including the dog usually is divided by agreement of the parties. But of course there are always the cases in which agreements are impossible. But the last thing that a judge wants to do is intervene on how to divide tangible property from the dog, to the lamp, to the book ends. So what the court will order the parties to do is to make a list, an inventory if you will, and make a decision on what’s most important to each party. And they will hand one party the list and they will check off an item, such as the dog. And then they will hand the other party the list and they will check off the couch. This is how property would be divided if parties cannot be adults and come to an agreement. My name is Mike Baker of the Baker Law Firm.

Who gets to keep the house in Arizona?

In Arizona, how the house is disposed of is very complicated in many cases.

Can I keep my house if I'm a predatory lending victim?

Whether you can keep your house if you're a victim of predatory lending depends. We've seen people who have lost their house because they were unaware of what their rights are or were, and by the time they found out it was too late, the lenders had already foreclosed and have taken their home. There's a possibility you can keep your house, but that's going to depend on whether you have adequate representation and whether someone is representing your interests, because the lender certainly aren't, they're representing their interest. And one of the ways in which you can keep your house is if you hire an attorney who's skilled in this area of law, who can exercise your rights and help you keep your home.

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.

How can I help to prevent pregnancy discrimination in the workplace?

There are a few ways to help prevent pregnancy discrimination in the workplace. One is to communicate clearly with your employer about your pregnancy. After you've informed them of your pregnancy, you want to ask what your rights are, and also insure that you're giving them notice when you need to leave for a doctors appointment or inform them about the leave that you want to take around the time of giving birth. You can also help prevent discrimination in the workplace by informing your supervisor when there is a problem, you want to let them know that immediately so that any further discrimination can be stopped and prevented. My name is Sara Schlehr of the Schlehr law firm. I work to protect California employees from discrimination and harassment in the workplace.

Can I file a complaint against debt collectors?

In California, if you feel that you have been the victim or that a debt collector has violated the fair debt collection practices act, there's two things you can do. The law provides for civil remedy. That means you can hire an attorney to prosecute the matter and pursue your rights. Or you can go the route of an administrative remedy and that is where you can make a formal complaint to the Federal Trade Commission which is the commission that regulates this area and then they can look into it. I'm Vincent Howard. Senior and managing partner of Howard Nesery. We work hard everyday representing the consumer from our headquarters in Orange County California.

Are there pregnancy leave laws in California?

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.

What should I NOT DO regarding employment agreements?

The number one mistake someone makes when it comes to employment agreements is first not reading it themselves and secondly not having it reviewed by an attorney so that they fully understand every aspect of the agreement. I find that many employees are so excited when they first get a job that they shove aside the agreement and sign it without thinking about it, assuming that everything would be fine with their employment, and when it comes to their compensation at the end of the year, or when it comes to a situation that results in a separation of the employment. They are shocked to learn about how limited their rights are in the different respects pursuant to the agreementthat they sign five years.

Will my credit score be harmed by debt settlement?

In California, your credit may be harmed by a debt settlement. Most programs are designed to instruct the consumer to stop paying their credit card debt, which is usually the type of debt you’re dealing with, with these programs. When that happens, creditors are allowed to continue to charge you interest, uh, late fees may accrue, and in some of the more extreme situations, uh, you may be the victim of a lawsuit. Uh, so, your credit may be adversely affected. But, it is best that when you are looking around for debt settlement programs you try and find one that has adequate legal representation. Because only a lawyer can make sure your rights are looked out for. I’m Vincent Howard, senior and managing partner of Howard and 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.

Are debt settlements common in California?

Given our current economic crisis and situation, debt settlement is becoming more and more common in California. Uh, you will see on the news or on radio ads, or TV ads, debt settlement companies are popping up all over the place in California. Uh, you have to be very careful and do your due diligence when looking to see, uh, what debt settlement program you want to engage in. Uh, one thing, uh, I think that would be in the consumer's best interest is to look for a debt settlement program that is attorney based.

Do employers have to accomodate my pregnancy in NY?

I’m often asked by a woman who’s become pregnant what her rights are in the state of New York. And there’s not a simple answer to that question. It’s governed by state statutes and federal statutes, and most importantly by the employer’s guidelines as well. What an employer can’t do is treat you differently because you are pregnant. A common misconception is that if you have complications because of your pregnancy you are also, under New York State Law, temporarily disabled. So, for instance, if you have thrombosis you are not only pregnant but you are also temporarily disabled which would trigger both gender discrimination laws in the state of New York as well as anti- discrimination laws based on disability. So, my best advice to a woman who has become pregnant and believes she is suffering adverse treatment in the workplace is to seek out the advice of an attorney as soon as possible. My name is Walker Harman. I am the managing attorney of the Harman Firm. If you believe that you’ve been the victim of illegal employment discrimination, we are eager to speak to you! Please give us a call.
