The only thing worse than getting beat up, is getting beat up by the one who is supposed to protect you. You are not alone. When you are let down by the person in whom you placed your utmost Trust, you need a very special kind of representation. I have Decades of experience aggressively dealing with attorneys from all areas of practice.

Free Consultation
I do not charge to get to know each other, and to familiarize myself with your case, in order to decide whether I can benefit you. However, I do not give free legal advice, nor will I provide you, free of charge, with your roadmap to the best result. - Credit Cards Accepted

Contingent Fees
I accept contingent fees if I am certain I can obtain and collect on a judgment. In some cases I accept a hybrid contingency. For example, I would accept one half my usual retainer; I would accept a fee at one half my hourly rate, and a contingency fee of one half my usual percentage.

- Q. Filing Proof of Service past the 60 day deadline in LA County, how to proceed?
- A: In California State Courts, it is not a serious problem at all. In Federal Court it is a little more problematical, but it is certainly not fatal. Assuming you are in State Court, just go ahead and file your POS, and proceed with your case. At first the State Court will ignore your tardiness. At some point the Court will send you an Order to Show Cause, as to why you should not pay sanctions, or have your case dismissed. If before the hearing, you file your POS, in many cases the Court will take its OSC off calendar. At worst they will listen to your reasons and give you an extension, and/ or charge you a sanction. If you have no reasons, and/or you don't deal with it, it is likely your case will be dismissed.
- Q. do we have to have answer a interrogatory and admission is there a form we can file to refude to answer till court date
- A: The flippant, snarky, and downright rude (apologies) answer is, "Yes, it is called a 'Request for dismissal of your case,' or if you are the Defendant, it is called 'Withdrawal of Answer to Complaint.' If you want to litigate your case, and go to trial, then you must participate in the litigation. Responding to discovery is a major part of that process. Both sides have the right to ask the other, What are the facts supporting your position? If you refuse to respond to proper items of discovery, your case will be dismissed, or if you are the Defendant, you will be defaulted, and Judgment will be entered against you.
- Q. An Attorney falsified his billing to cover up trust documents in my favor. Where should I file a complaint?
- A: I agree with Mr. Selik's answer, as far as it goes. However, your question is far to sparce and lacking in detail and context, to provide a meaningful answer. I am available for a free consultation, over the weekend, at 714 265-7766.
