Told by whom? I doubt very much that a competent attorney who practices in this area will require that you have some sort of "physician's report" before taking the case. I completely agree with "adjusterjack."

Hearings and trials and status conferences can be postponed. Your son's lawyer can seek a postponement if he/she, in consultation with your son, believes it appropriate to do so. I don't understand. You posted this at 3:40 p.m. yesterday. I assume that's 3:40 p.m. in my time zone (PDT)...

Agree. California Labor Code section 201(a) provides that, "If an employer discharges an employee, the wages earned and unpaid at the time of discharge are due and payable immediately." There is a 72-hour exception where an employer "lays off a group of employees by reason of the termination...

Sure. A lawyer who has read the HOA rules and the lease can clarify. Rather obviously, no one here has read these documents. That said, it's obvious that you're not a homeowner or a tenant. That doesn't answer the question. Is your student's grandmother's house within the community...

Please explain exactly what this means. The lack of a will does not mean there is no executor or administrator. The court will appoint an administrator if someone seeks to probate the estate. "Purchased"? As in you've already bought it? This seems to contradict your prior statement that...

I don't know. You told us that you "have a contract." You've read the contract; we haven't. Tell us what it says.

I didn't carefully read that entire long diatribe, but I take it the issue is this: You have dental insurance. However, none of the dentists near you accept your insurance (or, perhaps more accurately, none of the dentists who provide a particular service you need will accept the insurance)...

Sure. It's called divorce. It's the 21st century. The husband doesn't just get to decide everything and the wife has no say. If you can't mutually agree, then the status quo prevails or you seek a divorce.

I confess that I didn't read though the entirety of your two VERY long posts (which I suspect are much longer than need be given that your only question requires very little background info). No.

Post hoc ergo propter hoc. A case of what? If you think you can sue Metro Transit and recover damages because someone broke the rule and the bus driver failed to enforce the rule and you thereafter had a migraine, forget it. You can certainly complain to Metro Transit, but the bus drivers...

I assume you mean that (as far as you know) he had no children other than you. If the estate is "still in probate," what does it mean that your aunt "handed over the estate to her daughter"? Your name is fake? His name is fake? Both? What about your birth certificate? Gross value or net...

Nope. You don't get compensated for time spent working on a lawsuit.

Aside from what's already been said (all of which I agree with), how is calling in sick because of a sunburn any different than calling in because of a migraine or stomach flu or bladder infection, etc., etc.?

Has this lease already been signed by both parties, or is this a lease in the process of being negotiated? Section 13.1 means that, if ownership of the building changes, you agree to be the tenant of the new owner. Section 13.2 means that, in addition to your lease being subordinate to any...

I'm not sure what you're asking. It sounds like you are concerned about termination. Rather obviously, whether any termination that might occur is or isn't "wrongful" will depend on the relevant facts. I don't understand the question. Assuming both parties signed the contract, what are the...

Depends on what you ask for. Under the circumstances described, and assume your license is already in the name "Garcia," you could get "Castillo," "Garcia-Castillo" or "Garcia Castillo." You could contact anyone you want. Why are you investigating this person? Obviously, if you believe...

First of all, a defendant on trial for a crime is never "found innocent." The defendant will either be found guilty or not guilty. Not guilty is not the same thing as innocent. In any event, the answer to your question is yes...

Even if you have a contract that provides for recovery of attorneys' fees by the prevailing party, a non-lawyer who incurred no fees has no such entitlement. Not really a good point in this situation. The bank sued to enforce a loan agreement. Unless it's the most rinky-dink bank in the...

Not in any legal sense. Yes. Well...that's not juvenile and silly at all. You can call anyone you like. The general rule is that a camera may legally be installed anywhere on one's own property (subject to the caveats that Tax_Counsel mentioned).

Supposedly? Is this a real situation or just a hypothetical? In any event, Y's hiring of an attorney was a choice. Except in the circumstances, there's no right to recover fees from X.
