You're certainly free to reach out to the police, but I doubt anything will happen, and there is no need to "document" or value in "documenting" what happened. Note that California has no law regarding "blackmail." Conduct that would generally be considered blackmail falls under section 518 of...

You wrote that this happened at 6pm, so I assume that's after they got home from school but before you got home from work. Right? What time and how do they get home from school? What time do you get home from work? Why does she feel this way? What exactly does that mean? What law would...

An offer to pay 100% of the debt in 3-4 months is a MUCH better deal for the creditor than continuing with a lawsuit that may take a minimum of six months. If you're reasonably certain that it's coming your way, don't hesitate to make the offer.

I'll say it once again: Although the court may require that the parties engage in alternative dispute resolution, the court does not care about any settlement discussions. You will never have need to present documentation to the court to prove that you tried to settle. Again: settlement...

The court does not care about any settlement discussions. The clock on your responsive pleading is always ticking. If you want an extension of your time to respond, it's up to you to ask for it and (if applicable under your state's court rules) to notify the court that you and the plaintiff's...

Here you go.

If you want to settle, that's between you and the plaintiff's attorney. If you want to file a responsive pleading, you do that with the court. If you make a settlement proposal, be mindful of your deadline to file a responsive pleading. The plaintiff's attorney may be willing to give you an...

How much was your investment? If the LLC never sent you the payment, how do you know it issued payment? Did you simply meant that, sometime later in 2017, you received a notification that your investment would be returned, but you never received payment? In time for what? And again, if you...

Making an offer to settle would not impact your ability to file BK.

Does the former girlfriend have any ownership interest in the house? Did your father have a will? If so, what does the will say about what is supposed to happen with the house, and what does it say about the former girlfriend? Please confirm that the surrogate's court has appointed you to...

Why would you think anyone would possibly care about that - or even know about it? Regardless, again, if you're not comfortable hiring a former high school classmate as your attorney, hire someone else.

This is beyond vague (and your follow up post didn't help clarify things). Also, you didn't ask a question. What does "a family matter" mean? Are you contemplating divorce? Something else? Are you saying that you went to high school with the attorney who might represent you? If that...

OK, but choose your battles. If you have enough neighbors who feel the same way, perhaps you can all share the cost of an attorney to review the situation, advise you, and take appropriate action.

I join in "adjusterjack's" question. Particularly if the pipes run "under [your] home," I don't really see how this could be possible. What the heck is a "water master"? And who are "they"? Huh? So...you're claiming that unlicensed "farmhands" "forced pressurized irrigation pipes through...

One additional thing I noticed is that, in paragraph 32, it says that the covenants are "for the benefit of any and all persons who now may own, or who may hereafter own, property in the . . . Subdivision, and such persons are specifically given the right to enforce these provisions. . . ." It...

I think what you mean is the following: You live in a development that is subject to restrictive covenants, which provide for fees for maintenance of common areas, and the "maintenance committee" recently raised the fees. Is that right? I clicked the link and saw a $240 annual green space...

In order to acquire ownership of a copyright owned by this defunct corporation, you'll need to ascertain what happened to the corporation's assets when it became defunct. As I mentioned previously, if a proper dissolution occurred, then the copyrights should have been transferred from the...

What do you mean by "intellectual assets"? Did you mean intellectual property (e.g., copyrights, trademarks and/or patents)? If so, the answer varies depending on the type of asset. Was the company a corporation? An LLC? Something else? Do you have any information about the dissolution of...

Along with the italics.

What do you mean that you're "the executor . . . of . . . [an] annuity"? I don't understand what you're asking. Did you receive the annuity as a result of a settlement in connection with the death 12 years ago (e.g., as part of a settlement of a wrongful death action)? Typically, all you do...
