Legal Answers
- Q. What is the quickest way to disqualify a judge
- A: If you feel you are being treated unfairly by a judge, you may file a motion to disqualify the judge per Code of Civil Procedure section 170.6. Follow the instructions in the code section and ensure the motion is served and filed timely.
- Q. I was rear ended by police and gang task force can I sue for my damaged vehicle?
- A: The property damage claim should be handled by the police insurance (perhaps they're self-insured through the city/county or state). Contact the department who hit you and pursue a claim through them.
- Q. How can I find a lawyer to represent me on contingency on a case where I was defrauded?
- A: Hello. In order for an attorney to consider whether to take your case on a contingency basis, they will need significant details about the case, your position and the other side's actions, including dates and specific misrepresentations made that form the basis of the fraud claim.
