Speaker 2 (00:29):
The followings up pre recorded program.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Oh, there is a lawsuit that when I saw this,
I'm going, okay, I've got to talk about this. There
is a former student of the City of Hartford, Connecticut.
Her name is Alicia Ortiz, and she is suing the
city and the local board of education. According to her lawsuit,
(00:52):
she graduated, and she graduated with honors. And what happens
she said, she was removed from a special education curriculum.
She has some developmental disabilities and she was only tested
for development disabilities on her.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Last day of school.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
And what she said that what happened as a result
of that is significant unmet educational needs.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
And what is her law school?
Speaker 1 (01:20):
She graduated high school, and she is illiterate, She does
not know how to read, she does not know how
to write, and graduated high school and claims it was
due to the negligence and lack of proper support for
her developmental disabilities, and she graduated with honors within that
(01:42):
entire program.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
It's quite a lawsuit, to say the least.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
She claims she was denied necessary testing for dick alexia
and it was well, let me put it this way,
the Connecticut lawmakers, Republican ones, are demanding answers from the
state war of Education, and they're going crazy. How does
someone graduate while being illiterate? And what are these systemic failures?
(02:10):
Now the city of Hartford are facing a lawsuit from.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Someone else too.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Who contends that she graduated without being taught how to
read or write.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
It's kind of crazy that this happened.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
I don't know how you do this, How someone can
graduate high school without learning to read and write. Now,
I will tell you that I come from a law
La unified school district where I went to school, and
today because of all kinds of reasons, because there are
so many, so many members of society that come from
(02:45):
so many ethnicities and minorities. I think they speak like
ninety languages. It's a lot tougher today to graduate people,
and the level of learning is way way down, simply
because the school district is impossible to govern.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
They're just too.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Many students who have English as a second language, and
it's just it's just hard. But coming out of high
school and not knowing how to read or write and graduating,
I mean, yeah, now that's.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Gonna be a tough one. All right, Time for phone calls.
Let's do it. Phone calls. Uh, Roger, Hello, Roger, Yes, Hi.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Yes, I'm calling in regards to.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Aviation easement.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Yeah, I'd like to know what an aviation easement is
to begin with.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Well, Amazon, FedEx and Ups has just moved into March
Air Force Base and I live in that that area,
and Aaron's like very loud planes going over my house
early morning, late nights, the whole night yards.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Okay, that's a beef. That's a legitimate beef. So you
want to know what to do.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
You want to know what to do about it? Well,
there's those things. As an aviation easeman. You don't have
an easement, however, you own your property right up until
the stratosphere.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
That's the law up it goes right there.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Can you stop someone from overflying your airspace that you own?
Speaker 2 (04:24):
No?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
I mean yeah, theoretically you could, but the answers know.
And so what you do is you have local laws.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
You have laws.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
That, for example, make the place an inhabitable too loud
they after at night, after ten o'clock, you got a
bunch of local laws.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Now, is anything gonna happen about it? Of course not.
Now who's gonna who's gonna prosecute?
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Yea, what the local DA is going to arrest someone
in Amazon for overflying your land?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
By the way, that's not you don't have an issue.
Believe me.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
There have been lawsuit after lawsuit of people houses in
the flight path. I had a house that was not
in the flypath, that was in the Sano Valley that
was near Hollywood Burbank Airport, and they didn't overfly my property.
And then they started to overfly my property and people
went nuts. So when happening, thank goodness, planes got quieter,
(05:22):
and after ten o'clock they couldn't do it. Before seven,
they couldn't do it. But you know, there isn't much
you can do about it. There isn't much. Yeah, I mean,
I'll tell you what I know. This may be illegal, okay,
but there are people arms dealers out there that you
can actually buy an anti aircraft weapon you know that
(05:45):
really Yeah, stinger missile for example, you buy them, they
actually sell them. Not easy to get them in the country,
but you know, you shoot down one of these. Let
me tell you they're going to pay attention big time.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
And you can buy them. By the way, crazy is
that is not in the United States so much? All right? Mike, Hello, Mike, welcome.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
Hi Bill. Mom is ninety years old. For kids, two
are responsible, two are not responsible. In her will, as
you divide the estate between the four equally. However, the
book of the estate is in iras and investment accounts,
and in that case, the two responsible kids are named
as the beneficiary. So what takes precedence? Is there a
(06:29):
situation where the non responsible could challenge the will?
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Well, they're going to challenge the will. I mean that's
a given. Does Mom have a ton of money's.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
A couple of million dollars?
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Oh yeah, they'll challenge the will.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Now, when you have an account that there is a beneficiary, boom,
the money is taken out immediately. So what's left in
the will is not those documents. For what I understand
that the beneficiaries of bet a fishery, unless she changes
(07:01):
the beneficiary, the the beneficiaries of that money on those accounts.
They get the money. So the two non responsive kids,
I am assuming get no money.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
Correct, They get you know, personal effects and things like that,
but no more.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Yeah, but they get no money. So it's the two
I'm assuming you're one of the ones that is responsible
and takes sure of your mom.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Okay, here's what you do.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
My understanding of this is that the two of you
get all the money.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
They don't.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
But I suggest you take them out to dinner and
rub it in their faces and say, you guys are schmucks.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
We have all the money. That's that's something I would do.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
And of course it's not only is it prevailing legally,
but it's also rubbing in someone's.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Face, kicking them when they're down.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
See that just sort of adds to the joy of
doing that. Now, if you live in chronic pain, or
you happen to know someone who does trauma which often
causes pain, let me suggest you listen to the Pain
Game podcasts. Guests have lived with deltwe or have treated
those living in pain. And the host, Lindsay Soprano, deals
(08:12):
with chronic pain twenty four to seven and she does
it he heroically and believe me, I know Lindsay really closely.
Every episode ends with a message of hope. You'll quickly
understand the show and it's truly giving pain purpose. I
know that's counterintuitive, that's what it does. And listen to
the show to wherever you listen to podcasts, because if
you're in pain or chronic pain, or you know someone,
(08:35):
this is well worth listening to. It's the Pain Game podcast,
The Pain Game Podcast. This is Handle on the Law,
Handle Law, Marginal Legalood Advice.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
I got that right, Susann. Interesting call Hi, Susan, Hi Bill.
Speaker 6 (08:57):
Yeah, a former California and like you, Yes, I'm calling
with a very It's a sad call. It's about my
sister has developed Parkinson's and there's definite cognitive decline. She
lived in a let's see, it was a twenty eight
unit condo.
Speaker 7 (09:19):
Rose.
Speaker 6 (09:20):
She owned it, Yeah, she owned it, and she wouldn't
let anyone in for a long long time. And finally
push came to shove and she let us in and
it was a shock to see the condition of the condo.
I mean, I have seen hoarding shows and hoarding pictures,
but this was over the top. So after and she's
(09:42):
been there for thirty five years, and so what happened
eventually is we got in there. My daughter's been helping me,
and we actually had to hire a crew that three
people to help us clean that place out, with a
furniture and all the stuff just all over the place.
Everything was broken inside. She didn't get it repaired. It
(10:05):
was too embarrassed to have anyone inside. So we and
then the HOA got word of from an adjoining neighbor
on one side that he had bedbug infestation coming into
his unit. He has a family with small children. He
(10:27):
thought to maybe the boys brought it in. Now they
found out it was coming from my sister's unit. Now,
when we were in there working, we didn't see any
signs of bed bugs around, but I mean there was
all kinds of other stuff. They could have very well
been there and just hidden. So now the ho Way
is going after my sister and she has just sold
(10:50):
the condo.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
But for what.
Speaker 6 (10:54):
For the infestation that they said spread through the complex
because of the people there. We're cleaning it. We're going
down the common walkway.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Okay, let me let me ask you.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
So how many units are they arguing that she infested
with bed bugs?
Speaker 6 (11:10):
I think it turned out to be about eight okay
to adjoining and.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Then n C h o A that is going after her,
not the not the individual owners of the property.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
The h o A is going after her. Do I
have that right? Yes?
Speaker 6 (11:28):
Well, the the owner next door that had the bed
bugs already had them sprayed. He's on the board and
he alerted the board.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
All right, I got it. So what's uh? And when
you say going after her, uh, tell.
Speaker 6 (11:40):
Me what they're doing financially?
Speaker 1 (11:43):
The obviously what are they What are they? What are
they doing filed the lawsuit stop the sale?
Speaker 6 (11:51):
Well they are, they're withholding something from the sale. They're
charging her like over.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Two Wait a minute, what do you mean withholding people
that buy, they don't buy from the HOA, whoever bought
the property. The money goes directly to your relative, your mom,
if I have it right, or your sister, No, it's
my sister, Okay, goes directly to your sister and doesn't
go to the HOA.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
How does the HOA said, we get the money?
Speaker 6 (12:19):
Well, they they are claiming this.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
I understand.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
How are they claiming? How are they claiming? Have they
filed a lawsuit?
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Have they put in a claim in escrow?
Speaker 6 (12:32):
They may have done it with escrow. I'm not sure.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
You can claim all day long that you owe money
out of escrow. I mean I could have gone in
and said I owe money and written to escrow and.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Put a claim in there.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
They're not going to give it to me, and they're
not going to give it to a neighbor without a lawsuit.
And then even then there is you answer or she
answers her estate answer, she's still alive?
Speaker 7 (12:54):
Oh yes she is.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Okay, got it?
Speaker 1 (12:56):
So she answers or someone answers on her behalf. Because
the HOA, he doesn't have any power here.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
It's the individual. It's the individual homeowners.
Speaker 6 (13:05):
That's what I'm that's what we're wondering.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Yeah, you know what, Fine, you just tell the the
ESTRO company isn't going to hand them any money just
because they make a claim. Now they can throw something
all a list pendance to stop the sale, but that's
all they can do.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
And man based on this. Yeah, they're in a world
of hurt. So at this point, don't worry about it.
You tell the Escro.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Company saying, hey, give me the money, okay, because it's
the wrong people. The HUA doesn't have right to do
that because an individual owner gets bedbugs.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
Yes.
Speaker 6 (13:41):
And also what they did is they chose the guy
to come in and exterminate everything, and he was very expensive.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
You know what is not their call.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
It is not their call unless they argue that it
is somehow dangerous for the neighbors. And I would like
to see that. You need a lot more information to
tell me on that. But you know you just can't
make a claim. I want money, and if you can, man,
I'm jumping in it.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Oh yes I am. Hey I want some money too.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
So let me tell you if you're a business about NetSuite,
the less your business spends on delivering your product or service,
the more money you have, the more margin you have,
the more money you keep. And look at the prices
of everything more expensive these days. I'm going to buy
a dozen eggs today, I can't even imagine what it's
going to cost. Costs have gone up on materials, employees, distribution, borrowing, well,
(14:35):
how about reducing those costs. How about reducing headaches with
netsuitet bi Oracle. NetSuite is the number one cloud financial system,
bringing accounting, financial management inventory. If you do that and HR,
which all of us do, into one platform, so you
reduce it costs. Because NetSuite lives in the cloud, obviously
no hardware required, can be accessed from anywhere your phone
(14:57):
when you're on vacation. You cut the cost of containing
multiple systems because you have one unified system one. And
you certainly improve efficiency by bringing all of the processes
into one platform, which slashes manual tasks, errors are done.

six forty.
Speaker 2 (15:36):

Handle on the Law Marginal Legal ad Advice.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Here's my icon. What's going on with it?
Speaker 1 (15:46):
It's sometimes you put the icon on and it's just
too quick, and I'm used to too quick.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Christy, Hi, Christy, welcome, Hi.
Speaker 9 (15:56):
Thank you for taking my call. My question today, Bill is,
I have a nineteen year old stepdaughter that lives with us.
She has stolen from my husband and I. Last weekend,
she and my husband got in a physical confrontation, which
she started. She put her hands on him first. How
(16:17):
do I go about evicting her? I am fine with
giving her ample time, I said, I told my husband
maybe one year, like a year for today.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Oh, you don't want to give a year. You want
to a victor.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
I mean you can tell her to leave and you
give her what you can give her a year's notice,
which means she doesn't have to move out for a year.
Why don't you give her a sixty day notice, which
you can do under.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Law and the painting. Yeah, yeah, it's California.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
I think it's sixty days, but other states, she just
it's like one week month.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Yeah, he's just a victor. Oh yeah, yeah, you have
to give her a notice. Oh yes, yes, yes, you
have to give her a notice writing you.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Yeah, well you can go on the go on the
internet and just go notice to a vict and there
are you have to meet certain criteria in California, but
it's really easy, peasy.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
All you do is follow the template.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Yeah, and the fact that they got into an altercation
doesn't mean anything unless she calls the police, or unless
he calls the police, which I wouldn't suggest, because it's
a man against the woman.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
This poor woman has been beat up. So if she's
not going there, you leave it alone. I'm sorry.
Speaker 9 (17:31):
Does it make a difference that he and I are
just renters and we don't own the property?
Speaker 6 (17:35):
No?
Speaker 1 (17:35):
It really, Well, she's just living with you, correcting with us.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
She's right, so she's okay, So she's not all right.
Here's the problem with that. And she you have a
lease with the landlord.
Speaker 9 (17:49):
Yeah, I actually rent from my parents.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Okay, but you're paying rent. Have your parents a victor?
Give her a sixty day because that's their call.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
They own the property.
Speaker 9 (17:59):
Okay, that's I actually can't. As being the renter, we can't.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Actually, no, no, because she's not a tenant from you.
She's the tendency is with her in the landlord.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Even though she's having a mom and dad do it.
That's easy, you know. I'm assuming mom and dad will
do it.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Go figure Chris or Cyrus, Hi, Cyrus, Welcome Bill.
Speaker 10 (18:22):
I'm thinking of publishing some love letters I received decades ago.
They are sort of poignant because they're mixed with the
life threatening health problems of the sender. Am I entitled
to do that? Is there an invasion of privacy?
Speaker 5 (18:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Well, I mean there's something. Yeah, there's an invasion. But
let's talk about whether you are entitled.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Probably not. But now what you know, it's like, who cares?
Is a sender dead died?
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Oh yeah, that's very helpful publishing dead senders letters.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Who is going to argue.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
The estate of the center. There's probably no estate left.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
When did.
Speaker 10 (19:08):
In the nineteen sixties early sixties?
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Oh yeah, you got there's no problem. There's no problem.
You're fine. So how old are you? Cyrus?
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Are these letters to you?
Speaker 10 (19:17):
These letters are to me as a college student. Her
mother died, she has a brother and a sister.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Yeah, don't worry about it now, you're fine. You're fine.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
I wouldn't sweat it. Now, just go ahead and do it.
You know, whatever invasion I mean, he's going to argue
from the sixties. Let's get practical for a minute. The
estates and your likeness making money, it's all crap. I mean,
if you're a big star, it's not if you own
the estate of Elvis Presley and you use his likeness
or his letters without permission from the estate.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Yeah, that's a difference.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
But you know, dead mother who died well, of course,
dead people do die in the sixties.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Who the hell knows, you know?
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Oh god, I got a lot of this.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Okay, Greg, Hello, Greg, Welcome.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
Good morning Bill. It's a pleasure to talk to you.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Yes it is.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
Yes, there's a property in Las Vegas. It's owned by
a married man as his soul and separate property. He
has dimension. Now his wife is completely fine and understands everything.
The title company is saying that she needs to go
into court and get a guardianship for him. The property
again is in Nevada, but they live in California.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Yeah, you and you go into you go into Nevada
and get the guardianship there.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
It's actually easier.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
In Nevada than it is in California. So yeah, it's
simple easyps go in.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
She has dementia.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
That's a relative who is asking for it. Obviously there
has to be a motion, there has to be a
legal request for conservatorship, and the judge either you bring
in a doctor's diagnosis on an affidavi. But yes, she
has dementia, or even enough people saying yeah, she unfortunately
does not understand what's going on, or she thinks she's
(21:08):
on the planet Mars.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Which, by the way, there are a lot of religions.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
I think that where people understand perfectly well and they
believe that, so go figure on that one. Aliens have
come down in the backyard, or just clearly not understanding
and zoning out. My mother, for example, died at ninety eight,
and by the time she was ninety three, she had
no idea who anybody is. I could have gone into
(21:33):
I could have gone to court, gotten the Conservative ship
in two seconds. But the good news is I was
already a signature on all of her accounts, her bank accounts,
so I just cleaned out the money before she left
or before she.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Left Earth, so I didn't have to worry about.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
A Conservatives ship because she was broke almost instantly after
I cleaned out the account. There is there's the answer,
Huh what are we doing for time? Oh we're good, Hey, Claire, welcome.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
What can I do for you? Claire?
Speaker 11 (22:07):
Hi? Bill, I'm in a lawsuit that I don't want
to be in, and I called for one reason, the
attorney I called, but she's suing for another So I
finally told her I want it settled or dropped.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Okay, I don't understand. Hold on, hold on, you're doing
the suing or you are the defendant.
Speaker 11 (22:31):
No, I'm doing the suing.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Oh that's easy and so okay, So what's your question.
Speaker 11 (22:37):
Well, she told me, not very nicely, that there would
be repercussions if I dropped the suit.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Yeah, I mean, what does she tell you? What repercussions?
Speaker 11 (22:50):
No, it was such a nasty woman.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Yeah, there are no repercussions. If you want to continue
on with the suit, you just get another.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Warrior, and then the new lawyer takes care of me.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
If you want to drop the suit, you tell the
attorney I want to drop the suit. The attorney has
to do it. The attorney can't go forward if you
say no. And the repercussions are she's going to charge
you hourly for the work she has done.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
And what kind of case is this?
Speaker 11 (23:16):
I was in an automobile act.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Okay, yeah, all right, so it's time. And how badly
were you banged up?
Speaker 9 (23:24):
Well, it caused the accident unfortunately.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Oh, then insure insurance. It's your insurance company. That's defending
you if you have insurance.
Speaker 7 (23:32):
No, no, that's true.
Speaker 11 (23:35):
Now I sudden too somebody, but then a woman ran
into me.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
All right, if you're okay, you don't want to sue
the woman and you simply want to defend as against
the first woman who is that you are suing, you
can drop that case and the insurance company has to
defend you on the second case.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
That's it. Does it percussions all you want? Just turn
it over to your insurance company. That's it. They'll handle it.
Speaker 11 (24:04):
Well, well they won't because I'm the one that filed
his suit against the woman that hit me.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
No, but you're talking about the second woman you're talking
about you want to drop against the woman that hit you,
and now you have a case with the that you
hit And now you have a case of a woman
that hit you.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Who are you suing?
Speaker 1 (24:23):
There are two people here who how many people are
you suing?
Speaker 11 (24:28):
Just the woman that hit me?
Speaker 2 (24:30):
You're suing her?
Speaker 1 (24:31):
And a lawyer took that. How badly were you banged?
How badly were you banged up?
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Claire?
Speaker 7 (24:38):
Well, I still have shoulder problems.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
But okay, have you been treating? Are you going to
a Cairo practor are you going to a doctor? Are
you treating for that?
Speaker 7 (24:46):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Why do you want to drop the case? Why do
you want to drop the case? Claire?
Speaker 7 (24:51):
Well, I just don't want to do it.
Speaker 11 (24:54):
I'm eighty nine years old.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
All right, then just tell your attorney to drop it.
And she's going to turn around this to an eighty
nine year old woman.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Probably not.
Speaker 11 (25:04):
They said if I dropped it after it's been filed,
that there will be percussion.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
You can drop it any time you want. Write in
an email to this woman you want the case drop
to your lawyer. The case gets dropped, okay, Or the
lawyer says, I don't want to drop it because it's
a good case and I don't want anybody to go
after me. So I'm going to do a substitution of attorney.
(25:32):
You become the lawyer and figure out what you want
to do. And that's and you're now representing yourself.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
You're not the lawyer.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
You're representing yourself, which you can, and then you can
drop the case on your own or hire another lawyer
to go forward with the case. But there are lawyers
out there who just handle it all for you. That's
what I would do at this point I get a
second opinion. You can go to thea you can go
to my website Handle on the law dot com.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
They have personal.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Injury lawyers who are just excellent and don't want to
steal a case. We'll just give you good advice, much
better than I could give you.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
So go to handle on a law dot com.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
But the bottom line is you have every right to
drop a case whenever you want. And a lawyer saying, well,
there are repercussions, okay, other than hourly eighty nine years old.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Yeah, that's that's gonna be a tough one. That really is.
And I don't know what the retainer says either.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Does a retainer say if you drop the case, then
I am titled to hourly that I've done on the case,
and I'm willing to bet there wasn't much, not much.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
This is Handle on the Law. Welcome back, Handle on
the Law, Louise, Hello Louise.
Speaker 12 (26:40):
Good morning, mister handle. Yes, sir, I bought a red
I bought a remanufactured engine in October and since it's
been giving me issues.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Okay, I tried.
Speaker 12 (26:51):
I tried calling the company and they stopped receiving my
phone calls. They don't get text.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Alright me Okay, Louise, I got it. I got it.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
You can't get satisfaction. So here we go, Louis on
the law. Luis, I have a manufactured engine that just
doesn't doing what it's supposed to do and I paid money.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
What advice would you give me? The advice that I.
Speaker 12 (27:17):
Would give you is you got to get yourself a lawyer.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
No, how much did you spend?
Speaker 9 (27:22):
Okay?
Speaker 5 (27:23):
Four thousand, six hundred.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Okay, how about this? Do you have to know what
the small claims limits are in California?
Speaker 12 (27:31):
Unfortunately, the engine that I bought was in Florida.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
How do you buy an engine in Florida? Did you
truck it to California?
Speaker 12 (27:42):
And that's not the best part. The best part is
they made the engine in Texas.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Yeah, okay, you can sue in small claims court where
the contract took place or where you live.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
The problem is serving them in.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Texas or Florida, and that may be a problem. Yeah
all right, So let me give you the advice that
may give you the best legal advice.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Don't buy an engine from out of state.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Okay, so you can try small claims court and see
if you have jurisdiction.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Getting a lawyer for four thousand dollars is crazy.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
You're gonna go through four thousand dollars in legal fees
in about thirty minutes, right, yeah, So see what you
can do with small claims. Court depends on the jurisdiction
whether you can file or not. Sometimes you can, and
then the trial takes place and it's done by Affidavid.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
It's done.
Speaker 6 (28:33):
You know.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Everybody makes our case with just a statement of letter
to the court.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Ooh, really interesting stuff. Hey Eddie or Edie?
Speaker 7 (28:42):
Hello Edie?
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Yeah, yeah, what can I do for die?
Speaker 4 (28:47):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (28:47):
I was one.
Speaker 7 (28:48):
Have you ever heard of being arrested for telephonic harassment?
Speaker 5 (28:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Of course, really yeah you can. You can harass someone
by telephone, of course you can.
Speaker 7 (29:00):
But I didn't harass. I sent a pastor truth. I'm
a writer.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Okay. Now that doesn't mean you asked.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
The question you asked is can you be arrested for
telephonic harassment?
Speaker 2 (29:10):
And the answer is yes.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
So now the question becomes, you sent a pastor a what?
Speaker 7 (29:17):
I sent him? Truth?
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Because I don't care about the truth. What did you
what did you send him?
Speaker 7 (29:24):
Well, like I said, I'm a writer and he somebody
had put on a community page. Why don't churches help
the homeless?
Speaker 3 (29:32):
More?
Speaker 5 (29:33):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (29:33):
What what did you eighty? What did you write him?
Speaker 7 (29:38):
I texted some of the posts from the community page.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Okay, and that's it. How many times did you do that?
Speaker 12 (29:47):
No?
Speaker 7 (29:47):
I I send him the post. I tried calling him.
It's a long story. I tried talking to you.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
You don't have time for a long story. You don't
have time for a long story.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
You tried calling him? How many times he you try
calling him?
Speaker 7 (30:03):
That's all right?
Speaker 1 (30:05):
So he tried calling him once? And when you said
you sent him a letter or an email? How many
times did you do that?
Speaker 7 (30:12):
I text him? I shouted the post?
Speaker 2 (30:15):
How many times? How many times?
Speaker 10 (30:19):
What?
Speaker 2 (30:20):
And they arrested you?
Speaker 1 (30:22):
They arrested you with one text and one phone call.
Speaker 7 (30:29):
I was texting the truth, he's how many times?
Speaker 1 (30:33):
How many times were you texting him? Thank you so
much for your phone call. I like these phone calls
a lot, because you know, I've got to call him down.
I got to go and take my limit dough because
I can't stand this kind of stupidity. I really can't, man,
just can't. Okay, how many times? Well, I said that
(30:54):
the truth, Well, how many times? Oh, the truth? How
many times? Well, I send him an email how many times?
Because that is the harassment issue, not whether it's the
truth or not. That doesn't matter. Now, bad breath absolutely
no fun. No matter what you eat, well, in my case,
(31:14):
garlic and onions, it can cause bad breath. And of
course I'm talking about Zelman's mintya mouthmens, and I have
been saying or telling you about it for months. And
for those of you that have bought Zelman's mintya mouthmens,
you know exactly what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
Boy do they work. For those of you that have not,
you have horrible breath.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
You breathe on someone, they start reeling and almost keel over.
So what you can do is swallow or bite into
these little capsules that are coated.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
With a mint pop two or three in your mouth.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
You suck them in part until that's done, and then
you swallow or bite into them and it goes to
work in your gut where it really starts. That's where
bad breath can start and stay there. And no other
mint does that at all. That's Helman's minty Mouthmans. Of course,
I've been using them well as long as they've been around.
So here is the offer until the end of the month,
(32:09):
and that is if you buy a three pack, you
will get an automatic fifteen percent discount. Automatic fifteen percent.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
The followings up pre recorded program.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Oh, there is a lawsuit that when I saw this,
I'm going, okay, I've got to talk about this. There
is a former student of the City of Hartford, Connecticut.
Her name is Alicia Ortiz, and she is suing the
city and the local board of education. According to her lawsuit,
(00:52):
she graduated, and she graduated with honors. And what happens
she said, she was removed from a special education curriculum.
She has some developmental disabilities and she was only tested
for development disabilities on her.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Last day of school.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
And what she said that what happened as a result
of that is significant unmet educational needs.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
And what is her law school?
Speaker 1 (01:20):
She graduated high school, and she is illiterate, She does
not know how to read, she does not know how
to write, and graduated high school and claims it was
due to the negligence and lack of proper support for
her developmental disabilities, and she graduated with honors within that
(01:42):
entire program.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
It's quite a lawsuit, to say the least.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
She claims she was denied necessary testing for dick alexia
and it was well, let me put it this way,
the Connecticut lawmakers, Republican ones, are demanding answers from the
state war of Education, and they're going crazy. How does
someone graduate while being illiterate? And what are these systemic failures?
(02:10):
Now the city of Hartford are facing a lawsuit from.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Someone else too.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Who contends that she graduated without being taught how to
read or write.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
It's kind of crazy that this happened.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
I don't know how you do this, How someone can
graduate high school without learning to read and write. Now,
I will tell you that I come from a law
La unified school district where I went to school, and
today because of all kinds of reasons, because there are
so many, so many members of society that come from
(02:45):
so many ethnicities and minorities. I think they speak like
ninety languages. It's a lot tougher today to graduate people,
and the level of learning is way way down, simply
because the school district is impossible to govern.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
They're just too.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Many students who have English as a second language, and
it's just it's just hard. But coming out of high
school and not knowing how to read or write and graduating,
I mean, yeah, now that's.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Gonna be a tough one. All right, Time for phone calls.
Let's do it. Phone calls. Uh, Roger, Hello, Roger, Yes, Hi.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Yes, I'm calling in regards to.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Aviation easement.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Yeah, I'd like to know what an aviation easement is
to begin with.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Well, Amazon, FedEx and Ups has just moved into March
Air Force Base and I live in that that area,
and Aaron's like very loud planes going over my house
early morning, late nights, the whole night yards.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Okay, that's a beef. That's a legitimate beef. So you
want to know what to do.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
You want to know what to do about it? Well,
there's those things. As an aviation easeman. You don't have
an easement, however, you own your property right up until
the stratosphere.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
That's the law up it goes right there.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Can you stop someone from overflying your airspace that you own?
Speaker 2 (04:24):
No?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
I mean yeah, theoretically you could, but the answers know.
And so what you do is you have local laws.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
You have laws.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
That, for example, make the place an inhabitable too loud
they after at night, after ten o'clock, you got a
bunch of local laws.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Now, is anything gonna happen about it? Of course not.
Now who's gonna who's gonna prosecute?
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Yea, what the local DA is going to arrest someone
in Amazon for overflying your land?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
By the way, that's not you don't have an issue.
Believe me.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
There have been lawsuit after lawsuit of people houses in
the flight path. I had a house that was not
in the flypath, that was in the Sano Valley that
was near Hollywood Burbank Airport, and they didn't overfly my property.
And then they started to overfly my property and people
went nuts. So when happening, thank goodness, planes got quieter,
(05:22):
and after ten o'clock they couldn't do it. Before seven,
they couldn't do it. But you know, there isn't much
you can do about it. There isn't much. Yeah, I mean,
I'll tell you what I know. This may be illegal, okay,
but there are people arms dealers out there that you
can actually buy an anti aircraft weapon you know that
(05:45):
really Yeah, stinger missile for example, you buy them, they
actually sell them. Not easy to get them in the country,
but you know, you shoot down one of these. Let
me tell you they're going to pay attention big time.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
And you can buy them. By the way, crazy is
that is not in the United States so much? All right? Mike, Hello, Mike, welcome.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
Hi Bill. Mom is ninety years old. For kids, two
are responsible, two are not responsible. In her will, as
you divide the estate between the four equally. However, the
book of the estate is in iras and investment accounts,
and in that case, the two responsible kids are named
as the beneficiary. So what takes precedence? Is there a
(06:29):
situation where the non responsible could challenge the will?
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Well, they're going to challenge the will. I mean that's
a given. Does Mom have a ton of money's.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
A couple of million dollars?
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Oh yeah, they'll challenge the will.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Now, when you have an account that there is a beneficiary, boom,
the money is taken out immediately. So what's left in
the will is not those documents. For what I understand
that the beneficiaries of bet a fishery, unless she changes
(07:01):
the beneficiary, the the beneficiaries of that money on those accounts.
They get the money. So the two non responsive kids,
I am assuming get no money.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
Correct, They get you know, personal effects and things like that,
but no more.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Yeah, but they get no money. So it's the two
I'm assuming you're one of the ones that is responsible
and takes sure of your mom.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Okay, here's what you do.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
My understanding of this is that the two of you
get all the money.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
They don't.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
But I suggest you take them out to dinner and
rub it in their faces and say, you guys are schmucks.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
We have all the money. That's that's something I would do.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
And of course it's not only is it prevailing legally,
but it's also rubbing in someone's.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Face, kicking them when they're down.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
See that just sort of adds to the joy of
doing that. Now, if you live in chronic pain, or
you happen to know someone who does trauma which often
causes pain, let me suggest you listen to the Pain
Game podcasts. Guests have lived with deltwe or have treated
those living in pain. And the host, Lindsay Soprano, deals
(08:12):
with chronic pain twenty four to seven and she does
it he heroically and believe me, I know Lindsay really closely.
Every episode ends with a message of hope. You'll quickly
understand the show and it's truly giving pain purpose. I
know that's counterintuitive, that's what it does. And listen to
the show to wherever you listen to podcasts, because if
you're in pain or chronic pain, or you know someone,
(08:35):
this is well worth listening to. It's the Pain Game podcast,
The Pain Game Podcast. This is Handle on the Law,
Handle Law, Marginal Legalood Advice.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
I got that right, Susann. Interesting call Hi, Susan, Hi Bill.
Speaker 6 (08:57):
Yeah, a former California and like you, Yes, I'm calling
with a very It's a sad call. It's about my
sister has developed Parkinson's and there's definite cognitive decline. She
lived in a let's see, it was a twenty eight
unit condo.
Speaker 7 (09:19):
Rose.
Speaker 6 (09:20):
She owned it, Yeah, she owned it, and she wouldn't
let anyone in for a long long time. And finally
push came to shove and she let us in and
it was a shock to see the condition of the condo.
I mean, I have seen hoarding shows and hoarding pictures,
but this was over the top. So after and she's
(09:42):
been there for thirty five years, and so what happened
eventually is we got in there. My daughter's been helping me,
and we actually had to hire a crew that three
people to help us clean that place out, with a
furniture and all the stuff just all over the place.
Everything was broken inside. She didn't get it repaired. It
(10:05):
was too embarrassed to have anyone inside. So we and
then the HOA got word of from an adjoining neighbor
on one side that he had bedbug infestation coming into
his unit. He has a family with small children. He
(10:27):
thought to maybe the boys brought it in. Now they
found out it was coming from my sister's unit. Now,
when we were in there working, we didn't see any
signs of bed bugs around, but I mean there was
all kinds of other stuff. They could have very well
been there and just hidden. So now the ho Way
is going after my sister and she has just sold
(10:50):
the condo.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
But for what.
Speaker 6 (10:54):
For the infestation that they said spread through the complex
because of the people there. We're cleaning it. We're going
down the common walkway.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Okay, let me let me ask you.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
So how many units are they arguing that she infested
with bed bugs?
Speaker 6 (11:10):
I think it turned out to be about eight okay
to adjoining and.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Then n C h o A that is going after her,
not the not the individual owners of the property.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
The h o A is going after her. Do I
have that right? Yes?
Speaker 6 (11:28):
Well, the the owner next door that had the bed
bugs already had them sprayed. He's on the board and
he alerted the board.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
All right, I got it. So what's uh? And when
you say going after her, uh, tell.
Speaker 6 (11:40):
Me what they're doing financially?
Speaker 1 (11:43):
The obviously what are they What are they? What are
they doing filed the lawsuit stop the sale?
Speaker 6 (11:51):
Well they are, they're withholding something from the sale. They're
charging her like over.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Two Wait a minute, what do you mean withholding people
that buy, they don't buy from the HOA, whoever bought
the property. The money goes directly to your relative, your mom,
if I have it right, or your sister, No, it's
my sister, Okay, goes directly to your sister and doesn't
go to the HOA.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
How does the HOA said, we get the money?
Speaker 6 (12:19):
Well, they they are claiming this.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
I understand.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
How are they claiming? How are they claiming? Have they
filed a lawsuit?
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Have they put in a claim in escrow?
Speaker 6 (12:32):
They may have done it with escrow. I'm not sure.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
You can claim all day long that you owe money
out of escrow. I mean I could have gone in
and said I owe money and written to escrow and.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Put a claim in there.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
They're not going to give it to me, and they're
not going to give it to a neighbor without a lawsuit.
And then even then there is you answer or she
answers her estate answer, she's still alive?
Speaker 7 (12:54):
Oh yes she is.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Okay, got it?
Speaker 1 (12:56):
So she answers or someone answers on her behalf. Because
the HOA, he doesn't have any power here.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
It's the individual. It's the individual homeowners.
Speaker 6 (13:05):
That's what I'm that's what we're wondering.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Yeah, you know what, Fine, you just tell the the
ESTRO company isn't going to hand them any money just
because they make a claim. Now they can throw something
all a list pendance to stop the sale, but that's
all they can do.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
And man based on this. Yeah, they're in a world
of hurt. So at this point, don't worry about it.
You tell the Escro.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Company saying, hey, give me the money, okay, because it's
the wrong people. The HUA doesn't have right to do
that because an individual owner gets bedbugs.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
Yes.
Speaker 6 (13:41):
And also what they did is they chose the guy
to come in and exterminate everything, and he was very expensive.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
You know what is not their call.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
It is not their call unless they argue that it
is somehow dangerous for the neighbors. And I would like
to see that. You need a lot more information to
tell me on that. But you know you just can't
make a claim. I want money, and if you can, man,
I'm jumping in it.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Oh yes I am. Hey I want some money too.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
So let me tell you if you're a business about NetSuite,
the less your business spends on delivering your product or service,
the more money you have, the more margin you have,
the more money you keep. And look at the prices
of everything more expensive these days. I'm going to buy
a dozen eggs today, I can't even imagine what it's
going to cost. Costs have gone up on materials, employees, distribution, borrowing, well,

This is Handle on the Law.
Speaker 8 (15:30):
You're listening to bill handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
And welcome back.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Handle on the Law Marginal Legal ad Advice.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Here's my icon. What's going on with it?
Speaker 1 (15:46):
It's sometimes you put the icon on and it's just
too quick, and I'm used to too quick.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Christy, Hi, Christy, welcome, Hi.
Speaker 9 (15:56):
Thank you for taking my call. My question today, Bill is,
I have a nineteen year old stepdaughter that lives with us.
She has stolen from my husband and I. Last weekend,
she and my husband got in a physical confrontation, which
she started. She put her hands on him first. How
(16:17):
do I go about evicting her? I am fine with
giving her ample time, I said, I told my husband
maybe one year, like a year for today.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Oh, you don't want to give a year. You want
to a victor.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
I mean you can tell her to leave and you
give her what you can give her a year's notice,
which means she doesn't have to move out for a year.
Why don't you give her a sixty day notice, which
you can do under.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Law and the painting. Yeah, yeah, it's California.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
I think it's sixty days, but other states, she just
it's like one week month.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Yeah, he's just a victor. Oh yeah, yeah, you have
to give her a notice. Oh yes, yes, yes, you
have to give her a notice writing you.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Yeah, well you can go on the go on the
internet and just go notice to a vict and there
are you have to meet certain criteria in California, but
it's really easy, peasy.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
All you do is follow the template.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Yeah, and the fact that they got into an altercation
doesn't mean anything unless she calls the police, or unless
he calls the police, which I wouldn't suggest, because it's
a man against the woman.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
This poor woman has been beat up. So if she's
not going there, you leave it alone. I'm sorry.
Speaker 9 (17:31):
Does it make a difference that he and I are
just renters and we don't own the property?
Speaker 6 (17:35):
No?
Speaker 1 (17:35):
It really, Well, she's just living with you, correcting with us.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
She's right, so she's okay, So she's not all right.
Here's the problem with that. And she you have a
lease with the landlord.
Speaker 9 (17:49):
Yeah, I actually rent from my parents.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Okay, but you're paying rent. Have your parents a victor?
Give her a sixty day because that's their call.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
They own the property.
Speaker 9 (17:59):
Okay, that's I actually can't. As being the renter, we can't.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Actually, no, no, because she's not a tenant from you.
She's the tendency is with her in the landlord.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Even though she's having a mom and dad do it.
That's easy, you know. I'm assuming mom and dad will
do it.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Go figure Chris or Cyrus, Hi, Cyrus, Welcome Bill.
Speaker 10 (18:22):
I'm thinking of publishing some love letters I received decades ago.
They are sort of poignant because they're mixed with the
life threatening health problems of the sender. Am I entitled
to do that? Is there an invasion of privacy?
Speaker 5 (18:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Well, I mean there's something. Yeah, there's an invasion. But
let's talk about whether you are entitled.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Probably not. But now what you know, it's like, who cares?
Is a sender dead died?
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Oh yeah, that's very helpful publishing dead senders letters.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Who is going to argue.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
The estate of the center. There's probably no estate left.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
When did.
Speaker 10 (19:08):
In the nineteen sixties early sixties?
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Oh yeah, you got there's no problem. There's no problem.
You're fine. So how old are you? Cyrus?
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Are these letters to you?
Speaker 10 (19:17):
These letters are to me as a college student. Her
mother died, she has a brother and a sister.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Yeah, don't worry about it now, you're fine. You're fine.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
I wouldn't sweat it. Now, just go ahead and do it.
You know, whatever invasion I mean, he's going to argue
from the sixties. Let's get practical for a minute. The
estates and your likeness making money, it's all crap. I mean,
if you're a big star, it's not if you own
the estate of Elvis Presley and you use his likeness
or his letters without permission from the estate.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Yeah, that's a difference.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
But you know, dead mother who died well, of course,
dead people do die in the sixties.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Who the hell knows, you know?
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Oh god, I got a lot of this.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Okay, Greg, Hello, Greg, Welcome.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
Good morning Bill. It's a pleasure to talk to you.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Yes it is.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
Yes, there's a property in Las Vegas. It's owned by
a married man as his soul and separate property. He
has dimension. Now his wife is completely fine and understands everything.
The title company is saying that she needs to go
into court and get a guardianship for him. The property
again is in Nevada, but they live in California.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Yeah, you and you go into you go into Nevada
and get the guardianship there.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
It's actually easier.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
In Nevada than it is in California. So yeah, it's
simple easyps go in.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
She has dementia.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
That's a relative who is asking for it. Obviously there
has to be a motion, there has to be a
legal request for conservatorship, and the judge either you bring
in a doctor's diagnosis on an affidavi. But yes, she
has dementia, or even enough people saying yeah, she unfortunately
does not understand what's going on, or she thinks she's
(21:08):
on the planet Mars.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Which, by the way, there are a lot of religions.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
I think that where people understand perfectly well and they
believe that, so go figure on that one. Aliens have
come down in the backyard, or just clearly not understanding
and zoning out. My mother, for example, died at ninety eight,
and by the time she was ninety three, she had
no idea who anybody is. I could have gone into
(21:33):
I could have gone to court, gotten the Conservative ship
in two seconds. But the good news is I was
already a signature on all of her accounts, her bank accounts,
so I just cleaned out the money before she left
or before she.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Left Earth, so I didn't have to worry about.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
A Conservatives ship because she was broke almost instantly after
I cleaned out the account. There is there's the answer,
Huh what are we doing for time? Oh we're good, Hey, Claire, welcome.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
What can I do for you? Claire?
Speaker 11 (22:07):
Hi? Bill, I'm in a lawsuit that I don't want
to be in, and I called for one reason, the
attorney I called, but she's suing for another So I
finally told her I want it settled or dropped.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Okay, I don't understand. Hold on, hold on, you're doing
the suing or you are the defendant.
Speaker 11 (22:31):
No, I'm doing the suing.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Oh that's easy and so okay, So what's your question.
Speaker 11 (22:37):
Well, she told me, not very nicely, that there would
be repercussions if I dropped the suit.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Yeah, I mean, what does she tell you? What repercussions?
Speaker 11 (22:50):
No, it was such a nasty woman.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Yeah, there are no repercussions. If you want to continue
on with the suit, you just get another.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Warrior, and then the new lawyer takes care of me.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
If you want to drop the suit, you tell the
attorney I want to drop the suit. The attorney has
to do it. The attorney can't go forward if you
say no. And the repercussions are she's going to charge
you hourly for the work she has done.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
And what kind of case is this?
Speaker 11 (23:16):
I was in an automobile act.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Okay, yeah, all right, so it's time. And how badly
were you banged up?
Speaker 9 (23:24):
Well, it caused the accident unfortunately.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Oh, then insure insurance. It's your insurance company. That's defending
you if you have insurance.
Speaker 7 (23:32):
No, no, that's true.
Speaker 11 (23:35):
Now I sudden too somebody, but then a woman ran
into me.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
All right, if you're okay, you don't want to sue
the woman and you simply want to defend as against
the first woman who is that you are suing, you
can drop that case and the insurance company has to
defend you on the second case.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
That's it. Does it percussions all you want? Just turn
it over to your insurance company. That's it. They'll handle it.
Speaker 11 (24:04):
Well, well they won't because I'm the one that filed
his suit against the woman that hit me.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
No, but you're talking about the second woman you're talking
about you want to drop against the woman that hit you,
and now you have a case with the that you
hit And now you have a case of a woman
that hit you.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Who are you suing?
Speaker 1 (24:23):
There are two people here who how many people are
you suing?
Speaker 11 (24:28):
Just the woman that hit me?
Speaker 2 (24:30):
You're suing her?
Speaker 1 (24:31):
And a lawyer took that. How badly were you banged?
How badly were you banged up?
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Claire?
Speaker 7 (24:38):
Well, I still have shoulder problems.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
But okay, have you been treating? Are you going to
a Cairo practor are you going to a doctor? Are
you treating for that?
Speaker 7 (24:46):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Why do you want to drop the case? Why do
you want to drop the case? Claire?
Speaker 7 (24:51):
Well, I just don't want to do it.
Speaker 11 (24:54):
I'm eighty nine years old.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
All right, then just tell your attorney to drop it.
And she's going to turn around this to an eighty
nine year old woman.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Probably not.
Speaker 11 (25:04):
They said if I dropped it after it's been filed,
that there will be percussion.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
You can drop it any time you want. Write in
an email to this woman you want the case drop
to your lawyer. The case gets dropped, okay, Or the
lawyer says, I don't want to drop it because it's
a good case and I don't want anybody to go
after me. So I'm going to do a substitution of attorney.
(25:32):
You become the lawyer and figure out what you want
to do. And that's and you're now representing yourself.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
You're not the lawyer.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
You're representing yourself, which you can, and then you can
drop the case on your own or hire another lawyer
to go forward with the case. But there are lawyers
out there who just handle it all for you. That's
what I would do at this point I get a
second opinion. You can go to thea you can go
to my website Handle on the law dot com.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
They have personal.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Injury lawyers who are just excellent and don't want to
steal a case. We'll just give you good advice, much
better than I could give you.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
So go to handle on a law dot com.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
But the bottom line is you have every right to
drop a case whenever you want. And a lawyer saying, well,
there are repercussions, okay, other than hourly eighty nine years old.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Yeah, that's that's gonna be a tough one. That really is.
And I don't know what the retainer says either.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Does a retainer say if you drop the case, then
I am titled to hourly that I've done on the case,
and I'm willing to bet there wasn't much, not much.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
This is Handle on the Law. Welcome back, Handle on
the Law, Louise, Hello Louise.
Speaker 12 (26:40):
Good morning, mister handle. Yes, sir, I bought a red
I bought a remanufactured engine in October and since it's
been giving me issues.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Okay, I tried.
Speaker 12 (26:51):
I tried calling the company and they stopped receiving my
phone calls. They don't get text.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Alright me Okay, Louise, I got it. I got it.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
You can't get satisfaction. So here we go, Louis on
the law. Luis, I have a manufactured engine that just
doesn't doing what it's supposed to do and I paid money.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
What advice would you give me? The advice that I.
Speaker 12 (27:17):
Would give you is you got to get yourself a lawyer.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
No, how much did you spend?
Speaker 9 (27:22):
Okay?
Speaker 5 (27:23):
Four thousand, six hundred.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Okay, how about this? Do you have to know what
the small claims limits are in California?
Speaker 12 (27:31):
Unfortunately, the engine that I bought was in Florida.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
How do you buy an engine in Florida? Did you
truck it to California?
Speaker 12 (27:42):
And that's not the best part. The best part is
they made the engine in Texas.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Yeah, okay, you can sue in small claims court where
the contract took place or where you live.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
The problem is serving them in.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Texas or Florida, and that may be a problem. Yeah
all right, So let me give you the advice that
may give you the best legal advice.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Don't buy an engine from out of state.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Okay, so you can try small claims court and see
if you have jurisdiction.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Getting a lawyer for four thousand dollars is crazy.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
You're gonna go through four thousand dollars in legal fees
in about thirty minutes, right, yeah, So see what you
can do with small claims. Court depends on the jurisdiction
whether you can file or not. Sometimes you can, and
then the trial takes place and it's done by Affidavid.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
It's done.
Speaker 6 (28:33):
You know.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Everybody makes our case with just a statement of letter
to the court.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Ooh, really interesting stuff. Hey Eddie or Edie?
Speaker 7 (28:42):
Hello Edie?
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Yeah, yeah, what can I do for die?
Speaker 4 (28:47):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (28:47):
I was one.
Speaker 7 (28:48):
Have you ever heard of being arrested for telephonic harassment?
Speaker 5 (28:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Of course, really yeah you can. You can harass someone
by telephone, of course you can.
Speaker 7 (29:00):
But I didn't harass. I sent a pastor truth. I'm
a writer.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Okay. Now that doesn't mean you asked.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
The question you asked is can you be arrested for
telephonic harassment?
Speaker 2 (29:10):
And the answer is yes.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
So now the question becomes, you sent a pastor a what?
Speaker 7 (29:17):
I sent him? Truth?
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Because I don't care about the truth. What did you
what did you send him?
Speaker 7 (29:24):
Well, like I said, I'm a writer and he somebody
had put on a community page. Why don't churches help
the homeless?
Speaker 3 (29:32):
More?
Speaker 5 (29:33):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (29:33):
What what did you eighty? What did you write him?
Speaker 7 (29:38):
I texted some of the posts from the community page.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Okay, and that's it. How many times did you do that?
Speaker 12 (29:47):
No?
Speaker 7 (29:47):
I I send him the post. I tried calling him.
It's a long story. I tried talking to you.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
You don't have time for a long story. You don't
have time for a long story.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
You tried calling him? How many times he you try
calling him?
Speaker 7 (30:03):
That's all right?
Speaker 1 (30:05):
So he tried calling him once? And when you said
you sent him a letter or an email? How many
times did you do that?
Speaker 7 (30:12):
I text him? I shouted the post?
Speaker 2 (30:15):
How many times? How many times?
Speaker 10 (30:19):
What?
Speaker 2 (30:20):
And they arrested you?
Speaker 1 (30:22):
They arrested you with one text and one phone call.
Speaker 7 (30:29):
I was texting the truth, he's how many times?
Speaker 1 (30:33):
How many times were you texting him? Thank you so
much for your phone call. I like these phone calls
a lot, because you know, I've got to call him down.
I got to go and take my limit dough because
I can't stand this kind of stupidity. I really can't, man,
just can't. Okay, how many times? Well, I said that
(30:54):
the truth, Well, how many times? Oh, the truth? How
many times? Well, I send him an email how many times?
Because that is the harassment issue, not whether it's the
truth or not. That doesn't matter. Now, bad breath absolutely
no fun. No matter what you eat, well, in my case,
(31:14):
garlic and onions, it can cause bad breath. And of
course I'm talking about Zelman's mintya mouthmens, and I have
been saying or telling you about it for months. And
for those of you that have bought Zelman's mintya mouthmens,
you know exactly what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
Boy do they work. For those of you that have not,
you have horrible breath.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
You breathe on someone, they start reeling and almost keel over.
So what you can do is swallow or bite into
these little capsules that are coated.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
With a mint pop two or three in your mouth.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
You suck them in part until that's done, and then
you swallow or bite into them and it goes to
work in your gut where it really starts. That's where
bad breath can start and stay there. And no other
mint does that at all. That's Helman's minty Mouthmans. Of course,
I've been using them well as long as they've been around.
So here is the offer until the end of the month,
(32:09):
and that is if you buy a three pack, you
will get an automatic fifteen percent discount. Automatic fifteen percent.
Don't even have to put a code or anything else.
