Speaker 2 (00:23):
But right now we start.
Speaker 1 (00:26):

do answer.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
So one eight.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Hundred five two zero one five three four. This is
Handle on the law, marginal legal advice where I tell
you have absolutely no case, over and over again unless
you have a case, and that destroys my day. And
if you need an attorney, that is pretty good stuff.
(01:41):
That'll be pretty upfront with you. If you need an attorney,
I will tell you, yeah, this is above your pay scale,
it's above my pay scale, and you need a specialist
to deal with that. And there are several areas a
lot where it's just that simple. All right, now, Oh,
this is such a great case. Usually when I talk
(02:02):
in the opening monologue about cases that come down, cases
that have been decided by the courts, are the appeals courts,
even the Supreme Court cases, and they tend to get
a little serious. Sometimes they're interesting. Usually they're interesting, but
sometimes God gives me his joy, gives me joy, And
(02:29):
this is when it's good to be a legal talk
show host. These don't come down the pipe very often.
When they do, they are absolutely delicious. So I'm going
to share this one with you because this is the
best I've had in a very long time. All Right,
There is this guy by the name of Caalise Karen Crowder,
thirty eight years old, was arrested at a Walmart that
(02:53):
I have gone to. It's in Burbank, and my studio
is in Burbank, and it's in the San Fernando Valley
where I live for most of my life, and so
I know this place very very well.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
I know this Walmart very very well.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Now, he has been arrested multiple times, and what he
does is he sniffs women's butts while in public. This
is what he's been arrested for several times. So police
responded to a nearby North sim Iraq and the same
(03:33):
shopping center for the report of a suspicious.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Man loitering in the women's department.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Okay, officers arrive and they're told that the suspect have
already left the department store. But while they're looking for him,
they find him at the Walmart across the parking lot.
And what the officers did was use the store security
camera the system to follow the man as he moved
around various departments and then observed him following a female
(04:05):
customer into the women's department. Observed him crouching down behind
the women engaged in quote leude behavior by inappropriately sniffing
her buttocks. So he is a butt sniffer, A serial
butt sniffer, and he has been arrested. And for those
(04:25):
of you, first of all, to think there's something wrong here,
there's another side to this. Please, let's give him some
kind of defense. What is his defense? All he was
doing was saying hello to these women like your pet
dog says hello to other dogs.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
There's nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Now.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Will he be convicted? Probably?
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Yeah, but you know, I mean, yeah, there are sex crimes,
and there are sex crimes, and I'm sure gonna get
email saying handlecup. How can you defend a butt snif effort? Well,
you know what, don't knock it. Until you tried it,
you know it ain't bad. Okay, how's that?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Huh? Am I get in trouble for that one?
Speaker 3 (05:12):
No?
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I don't think so. Okay, let's do it. Phone calls, Steve.
Let's start with you, Hello, Steve.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Hello Bill.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
Yes, I've got a small claims issue or I had
got the living trust, you know, paid the attorney, got
everything in order, but then they appointed my sister as
the I guess the word is executor or trustee trustee?
It would be trustee, yeah, trustee, And she's supposed to
distribute all the funds after both parents have passed away.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Okay, now let me ask her who Wait, who appointed
your sister?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
I'm assuming that's in the trust.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
Correct, my parents did that?
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Okay, got it? Okay, so she's the trustee of your
parents trust. Fair enough, moving on.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
So she after I sent her a letter, there was
a amount left after they both passed away. It was
fifty two thousand and so I even contacted three attorneys.
Two of them didn't return my call, and the one
that I finally talked to was that the Since I'm
(06:20):
retired and only have a Social Security income, I went
to the low income Attorney Helpers and of course they said, yeah,
we can handle your case, but it will be three
hundred and fifty dollars an hour. So I decided it
would probably be best to just go for small claims
(06:41):
because I was trying to get attorneys that would take
it on a contingency contingency and of course they're not
interested unless it's a big auto accident.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Right well, or any big or any big case in
which it looks like it's a dead bang winner and
it looks like there is a pocket and in this
case probably not, so they're not gonna make enough money
and they don't know. If they do get a judgment,
they're gonna collect the money, and that's why they said.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
No to you.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
So anyway, she was officially served on June the sixteenth,
and then after you file all the properly served paperwork
with the court, they issue a court date and they
want you to again serve her with the court date,
which you can do by certified mail, which I did do,
and so far she has refused to or I shouldn't
(07:34):
say refused, but she just hasn't gone down to the
post office to pick that up. So of course she
don't know what the court date is. And I'm wondering
if I can ask the is it too early to
ask the judge to issue a bench for it?
Speaker 6 (07:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Yeah, it's way tour.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
There's no bench warn't there, Because at this point you
can't even prove that she picked up the certified mail, correct,
I mean certified me And there's no address for her.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Is that what you are saying?
Speaker 7 (08:01):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (08:01):
No, she, like I said, we served her in person.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Then why why would you do certified mail to a
PO box or a or a post office.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
No, we're directly to her address.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Okay, and she just uh, and didn't they drop it off?
Or do you need a signature for it? Okay, So
here is what I would do. And now she's gonna
argue she never got it, who mailed the who mailed
the service?
Speaker 4 (08:33):
I did?
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Okay, I think you show up in court that day. Uh,
and you explained to the judge here's what I did.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
And she got served and she refuses to pick up
certified mail and then asked the judge may say, nope,
you got to do it, do you.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
You have to serve her, you have to prove it,
and so you may have to you may have to
hire process server.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Although the certified mail business, you know, usually you have
a date and you serve. So I don't quite know
how this works. So I'm a little confused here. But
if there is a doubt, you have a process server,
do it and put it in her hand. But I
don't know. Twice I have a process server, once for
the lawsuit and the other one for the date.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
So that one. Another thing.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
The other thing is I did hire two process servers.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
And they couldn't find her the second time around.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
Well, initially they couldn't find her, and then, like I said,
I've had one of my friends who went up to
where she lives off her father's No.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
No, I understand that was the first time.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
That was the first time around, right, correct, Yeah, you
got proper service. I'm talking about the second time around,
when you're giving her a when you're giving her the date,
which that part. I don't understand about small claims because
usually you have a date and here it is, and
you show up or you don't.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Anyway, I don't know why the court made I don't either.
I don't get that. But I don't get that.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
But show up in court that day and explain to
the judge, and the judge may do one of several things.
You do your testimony, you get a default judgment, or
they now you've got a server.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
But either way you've got to do it.
Speaker 8 (10:12):
You have.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
I would show up and definitely explain to the judge.
I just don't get that.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
I really don't get how you have to serve twice
including the date. I mean, I've never experienced that. This
is handle on the law, heyf I handle here. It
is a Saturday morning. Eight hundred five two zero one
five three four is the number two call. That's eight
hundred one eight zero excuse me, eight hundred and five
(10:40):

Speaker 4 (11:22):
Well, he's going to be between him and my son,
you know.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Okay, that's okay. What do you do? You rewrite your trust?
That's all. It doesn't matter where he lives.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Does he have to have any PaperWorks?
Speaker 2 (11:34):

Speaker 4 (11:34):
He has nothing.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
No, he hasn't.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Well, you know, if if his name is Adolph, I
would change it. But short of but short of that, no,
you don't have to do anything. All you do except
change your trust. You have to amend the trust. And
how much money are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Yeah? Rob, hold on, how much money you talking about Robert.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Maybe I would know it's two hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Okay, And did you write the trust or lawyer right
to trust?
Speaker 4 (12:01):
Well, the lawyer's writing it, but I haven't signed the chips.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Okay, Yeah, you can sign if your if your brother
is a beneficiary, you're gonna be fine.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Don't worry about that at all.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
He doesn't have to be there, he doesn't find he
doesn't have any paperwork to sign.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Hello, well, welcome, hellol.
Speaker 9 (12:24):
Yes, I was a year ago on the fifth of July,
I was hit by three cars coming home from work.
Highway patrol deemed none of the accidents of things my fault.
Speaker 6 (12:40):
I was not at fault.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
So how do you get hit with three How do
you get hit with three cars?
Speaker 9 (12:46):
Well, the first call ran into the back of me
on the freeway and I spun out of control and
I regained control.
Speaker 6 (12:55):
I stopped and on this Okay, we.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Got all right.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
So it was okay, it was an accident that one
followed the other followed the other. One incident follow the other. Okay,
you got to hit my three cars. You are not
at fault. The highway patrols say you were not at fault. Okay,
where do we go from here?
Speaker 4 (13:11):
All right?
Speaker 9 (13:11):
So, uh, I atturned a I retained a law group
and it's been over a year and the first two
are willing to they've already said that they have you know,
this is what we are insurance of the drivers have
and they said this is what we can pay. The
(13:33):
third car is still they're still negotiating. Yeah, okay car
because right, uh so my question is you know, how
long should it take?
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Oh? It depends how bad? Okay, al how how badly
were you injured? That's the big issue here.
Speaker 9 (13:53):
I had head contusion, two broken ribs.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Okay, all right, you stop stop right there, stop right there.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
You have some serious injuries.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
And now we're talking about a complicated personal injury case
with three defendants and a lot of injury. So this
is not going to roll over very quickly because what's
going to happen is what insurance company is going to say,
we only had twenty percent of the fault and those
(14:25):
other guys had eighty and they toronto go no, no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Our guy wasn't really at fault that much.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
In other words, they'll be infighting between the three insurance
companies that's for starters, and then your attorney is arguing
with all three and getting as much money as possible.
So how long can it take?
Speaker 2 (14:44):
I don't know. A year is not completely off off
chart here.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
So what you get to do is you get to
call them and you get to say, Hey, what the
hell is going on? Tell me, give me where we
are in the case. I want to know letters, I
want to see the whole case. It's your case, and
then you can call me back and I'll tell you
you know, yeah, they're doing okay or they're slowing up,
(15:11):
and you want to call him and really harass them.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
But that's what you do.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
But a year and a case like that is not
off base, It really isn't. It can take sometimes these
things take two three years?
Speaker 2 (15:24):
All right? Ted? Hello? Ted?
Speaker 8 (15:28):
Hi Bill? Quick question. I have a family member late
sixties who a couple months ago got what they called
a misdemeanor DUI into custody, released later, and first time ever.
Nobody in my family has the experience with this. I
don't think he's ever had so much as a speeding ticket.
(15:48):
So my question is he's got to court date, Should
he get a lawyer? What does he need?
Speaker 4 (15:53):
To do.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Yeah, I'll tell you what I depends on what he
wants to do the DUI. Let's start with, I'm assuming
he took a breathalyzer test.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Correct, Yes, Okay, do you have any idea what he
blew on that one?
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Considering that legally, I'm sorry, he.
Speaker 8 (16:15):
Must have been over that or they wouldn't have taken
him into custody.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Well, actually they sometimes do. But you're right, So it
depends how over that he was. If, for example, he's
at a point one to oh or a point one
two and he's way over the point oh eight, there's
really no place for him to go now spending Well,
if it was you know, I mean, he could constantly
(16:40):
he could say the breathalyzer was off and attack that.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
But it's it's tough.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
He's probably gonna get exactly the same punishment as if
he hired an attorney.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Uh, it's not a big deal.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
What I would do if I were him, I'd show
up court date and turned to the city attorney and
say and just ask. I would ask the attorney now
and do I Well, you can't do that because the
attorney will say no, he should call up a couple
of DUI attorneys. But here's the problem. DUI attorneys make
(17:15):
their living on DUIs and how many of them would say, no,
you don't need me. That's what the problem. Now my
PI attorneys on handle on the law dot com, that's
what they say when they're not needed.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
But that's few and far between.
Speaker 9 (17:33):
So you know.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
He's going to get the same punishment as if he
hired an attorney.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
I don't know what you know.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Here's what I do is hire or look at a
few DUI attorneys that you see advertise because they do
a lot of them, and say what can you do
for me? How do I get out of this? Or
what are you going to be able to offer? And
call a few more and see what they have to say.
(18:02):
I personally would just walk in and say, yeah, I
did it, especially if you know they if you blow
a point one or above, so that that is, he's
probably gonna get the same thing, license suspended for thirty days,
he has to go to DUI school or whatever. I mean,
he's gonna pay a big time. It'll be several hundred
(18:23):
dollars maybe one thousand dollars plus insurance going up and
tell him not to drink and drive. I mean, that's
the easiest way. How long how long was he in
jail before they released him?
Speaker 8 (18:34):
I believe it was ten hours if I understand correctly.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Okay, so that's not enough to turn him gay, Okay,
got it.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
This is Handle on the Law.
Speaker 10 (18:47):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
L Hello, Al, you're up. Welcome.
Speaker 6 (19:17):
Can I see someone if they annoyingly give me herpes?
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Ooh, yes you can. Those cases have actually gone up.
Here is the problem, all right? If you're before just
the judge a bench trial, there's a really good chance
the judge has her pies and said, do.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
You know what? I've got it and I can still
live with it. Al, you're gone.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Now.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Let's say you go in front of a jury. Half
the guys and the other half of the women.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Also have herpes? And how much money are they going
to give you?
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Now?
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Unless you can show the court, uh that you have
you know.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
A ship an open shanker with super rating wounds and
it's really disgusting and it uh and that's a little
embarrassing when you pull your pants down and you show
your sponse to the jury. The point is, uh, yes
you can. Uh and actually those cases have been pretty good.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
The the answer is yes. And who is the someone
that you would be suing? I don't want the name,
but tell me, uh, the relationship and the real the
real question is how much money do they have?
Speaker 7 (20:33):
That's well, I know how much money is there?
Speaker 1 (20:36):
That's the point I'm asking. Oh, it's it may very
well be enough. Hold on, it may very well well
be enough that the lawsuit goes and an attorney might
pick it up who probably also is her piece. Uh
So who is it that you're suing? And don't give
me a name, just tell me the relationship?
Speaker 5 (20:52):
Is my partner?
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Oh, your partner partner? And how long have you been
and involved with your partner partner?
Speaker 7 (21:00):
It's like three years?
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Three years? Wow?
Speaker 1 (21:03):
And so your partner is stooping someone else? Clearly right? No, well,
how do how does she is it? By the way,
is a male or female partner al male or female partner?
Speaker 5 (21:16):
It's a female okay, female partner.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Okay, you've been stopping her for three years and now
herpies has come up. Although it can be dormant, Yeah,
it can be dormant and come up.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
And so the question is, uh, you know, reproving that
she has it. Now, does she have money? That's also
a big issue.
Speaker 6 (21:39):
There might be some money, yeah, tied up and other things.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
But yeah, okay, you know the answer is lawsuits have
been filed and they have one and money has changed hands.
So you know, I'm gonna let you do call check
in with handle on the law dot com and talk
to one of the lawyers.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Now, are they going to take the case. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
If there is something there, and this is it's personal injury,
they say no, there's not enough money there. They're very
honest about this sort of stuff, and they may say
there's something there, but there's a there there in congratulations
with your herpes.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
So now let's talk about Now I'm going to play
doctor handle. Let's look at the symptoms. Open sores on
your schwans.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
Yeah, teasing a breakout, very deep, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
I'm discussing. Yeah, I know, I know, disgusting stains on
your underwear. All of that. No, I know it's horrible. Okay, Steve, Hello.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Steve, how you doing handle?
Speaker 7 (22:43):
It's nice to talk with you. I will. I was
doing a credit card application with my own bank and
they approved me. They said I have like an eight hundred,
very nice, But they said I have to pay a
car insurance bill Brady Bucks. And I said, I didn't
get any car insurance. They said, yeah, you did. It's
(23:04):
by that company that sounds like.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Okay, don't you tell me? Yeah, you don't have to
tell me.
Speaker 11 (23:10):
Okay, right, okay, go ahead taking my credit and they
want me to pay eighty dollars. My own bank says,
I got to pay the eighty before I get a
credit card from them. Okay, it's harming me. They do
class action against that company.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
No, no, you don't go class action. No no, no,
this isn't class action.
Speaker 7 (23:29):
They're doing to everybody.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
They're doing I'm sorry they're doing well, how do you
know they're doing How do you know they're doing.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
It to everybody?
Speaker 7 (23:36):
Because there's no there's no negative for them.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
How do you know they're doing it to everybody? How
do you know they're doing it to everybody?
Speaker 7 (23:46):
Sense?
Speaker 4 (23:46):
Bill?
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Come on the common sense doesn't know. Common sense doesn't fly. No, No,
it's how do you know they're doing that? Record everybody?
I mean, you've got to come up. The lawyer who
is going to take a class action is going to
research it and find out does this in fact affect everybody?
And have they been doing this? And have they been
(24:07):
with holding credit on a credit card unless you pay
an insurance bill and none of that makes sense. That's
very weird, especially since you say you don't owe eighty dollars.
And what I don't get it is this an insurance
company that you've dealt with and they say you you're
short eighty dollars.
Speaker 12 (24:27):
No, I was getting a quote on the internet. Faoe
oh man, oh okay, got it? You were getting okay,
got it? All right, you have to dispute that, clearly,
you have to dispute that.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
And saying I never there is no contract between me
and the insurance company. I would call the insurance company
and go up the food chain and talk to some
vice president in charge of BS credit card charges whatever,
and say, hey, guys, I was only.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Getting a quote. I never agree.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
I don't have a relationship with you, and I am
being hurt they've affected that they have danger credit?
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Is that correct? Yes?
Speaker 7 (25:09):
They have?
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Uh, and it's gone from where to where? Just questionable?
Just questioning here.
Speaker 7 (25:17):
Well, I'm at the point now do I go to
small claims court?
Speaker 2 (25:21):
No, Hang on a minute, I'm asking you. I'm asking
you a question.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Your your credit score has gone from where to where?
Speaker 7 (25:30):
Eight hundred to lower? I don't know what it's down.
I don't know what it is now technically, but I
went from perfection to not okay, perfection?
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Yeah, yeah, No, you don't go to you don't go
to small claims court because what are you going to
go to small claims court for?
Speaker 2 (25:44):
The judge isn't going to order?
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Understand, I understand, but it's it's not the jurisdiction of
small claims.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
The small claims judge isn't going to do anything. Okay.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
There are cases out there in which people have been
wrongly dinged on their credit and there.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Is a whole world to that.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
So you get to do a little research and just
put in the search words because there may be something there. Also,
you just may want to go to another credit a
credit card company and just you know, if you're visa,
then go to MasterCard. Then go to whatever and apply
there and if you if you're at eight hundred, let's
(26:24):
say you were over eight hundred and now you're at
seven fifty seven sixty, you should still get the same
credit card. So I don't get that anyway, you have
to make that phone call. That's strange. That really, that
is a strange one.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Oh okay, TJ, Hi, TJ welcome, OYJ. Yes, So.
Speaker 6 (26:51):
Property recently and through the.
Speaker 13 (26:56):
Scro process. Uh, last day of clothing, there's a retaining
wall on my property and the neighbors said, yep, that
we put a retaining wall on your property. It's been
within a year to keep long varies from three feet
two feet inside my property. Next week I have a
(27:16):
survey to come out to clearly mark my property line.
I'm just looking to see get some advice and what
routes I have recourse and for the property itself.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Yeah, you got a couple You've got a couple of things.
Permit one Yeah, okay, you can call the city.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Okay, you can call the city, and the city you'll
come out and say tear down the wall. Tell straight
out if they didn't have a permit, it needs to
be permitted it's just tear down the damn wall. The
other thing is, uh, they have encroached on your property
and uh built on your property, and now you have
some damages going on.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
You know, this is time for.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
A either a construction or a real estate lawyer, because
there may be some pretty serious damage here in terms
of monetary damage.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
And I don't know what that's worth.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
I mean a two hundred foot retaining wall on your property,
I mean without a permit.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
When do they build it within a year?
Speaker 13 (28:15):
Yeah, it appears to be within a year according to
Okay images and specifically ask them. But twenty twenty four,
the wall was not.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Yeah, it's yeah, there's something there. Yeah, that's there. You go, Yeah,
you get a lawyer on that one and find out
where where you are, probably a construction lawyer or as
I said, a real state lawyer, and just get to
do research. Yeah. No, often I tell you go do
research because I don't have lawyers on my list, and
I usually don't refer to lawyers because I don't know
(28:42):
how good they are. And obviously, you know, the pipart
is easy because I got handle on the law dot

hundred five two zero one five three four. Welcome back.
Handle on the law marginal legal advice where I tell
you you have no case.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Neil, Hello, Neil.
Speaker 6 (30:53):
Hello, yeah kay. My dad died in twenty twenty one.
My mom died one year later in twenty twenty two.
My sisters the power of attorney. I got a home
fried in this let's just say a New England state
where they're judge and the attorneys. My mom's attorney knew
(31:15):
each other, so they took me my name off the
signature card. She claimed ownership of the banking.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Okay, hold on, who is they Wait a second, Neil,
who is they took your name off the signature card?
Speaker 6 (31:30):
The two power of attorneys sisters joint powered attorney.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Okay, they let me ask you was this a trust
you're talking about.
Speaker 6 (31:39):
No, it's just just my mom's estate.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
Okay, So there's no trust, there's no will, nothing.
Speaker 6 (31:49):
There is a will. They didn't introduce the will. It
was under guardianship. They so they seek out guardianship they.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Talked about and the will will do you know what
the will said? Where the money is left to? Who
the money is left to?
Speaker 6 (32:07):
There's there was a will they did. They drew up
together in twenty thirteen, modified in seventeen. They had my
mom re sign a will three months before she died.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
Who is they? Who is they? Once again we're talking they.
Speaker 6 (32:25):
The two power of attorneys. It was okay, to.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
The power of attorneys, which you I mean that when
someone dies that really doesn't have a whole lot of validity.
So your name is taken off the power of attorney
or taken off the the bank card is what you're saying.
Speaker 6 (32:43):
The bank card? Yes, okay, on there as one of
the three children as a beneficiary, transfer on debt.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Okay, and all of a sudden, your name is gone
right yes, wow, okay, So what happened? You're in front
of a judge now, okay, now, and what is the judge?
Speaker 6 (33:01):
The judge said that she understood she owned the checking account,
but under New York State Rule six seventy five, she
owned the checking account, but he claimed she didn't understand,
but she claimed ownership of the checking account. They sold
(33:23):
the house stole all right, Hold.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
On a minute. I don't care about that at this point.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
I'm just confused about there's a card now that a
bank account that shows beneficiaries upon death, and the beneficiaries
were the three of.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
You, if I if I, if I'm reading this right?
Speaker 6 (33:42):
Nope, there was two of us were beneficiaries. The other
one was on the card. And I found.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
A as what on the card? As what I'm not
understanding this, Neil, as a part ownership.
Speaker 6 (33:57):
She was on there with my parents.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
As an okay, as an ownership, part ownership. Okay, I'm
very confused here, and I certainly don't know New York law.
All right, So it ended up happening, you ended up
getting stiffed, and then there was your name on it,
and somehow that disappeared your name. So someone fraudulently took
your name off, is what you're saying.
Speaker 6 (34:17):
Ye, yes, And they ended the account with the sale
of the house. The funds of the house.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Okay, they funded the account, so no one took any
money out at that point.
Speaker 6 (34:30):
Yes they did. They gifted themselves two hundred and fifty
almost three hundred grand.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Okay, all right, who listed the house?
Speaker 6 (34:40):
My sister. But they had my mom sign a piece
of paper saying what the attorney that they just to
sell the house. You know, they acted for her, but
she was out of state.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
So but okay, but she dies and there's no will
and there was no probate. Is just she went ahead
and did it?
Speaker 1 (35:01):
None of this, Neil, Neil, I got to tell you,
none of this makes sense to me. I mean, I
don't know where to go with that, because you're setting up.
They took my name off and they sold and there
was no probate and there was no beneficiary, and I
was a beneficiary and I was fraudulently taken off and
the judge okay, nice, nice call, Scott, Hello Scott, good morning.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
I was parked at the post office in Ramona nine
two oh sixty five, about over a year ago, and
I was reading my mail. My car was in park,
the parking break was on. I was sitting still. Another
individual backed into me. There was damaged into my front bumper,
and I experienced neck pain and back pain. I went
(35:46):
to seven weeks of physical therapy, and I'm all done.
Now what should I do?
Speaker 2 (35:51):
Okay? Were you in a parking spot? I was okay.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
And so you're in a parking place and you're facing
out towards the lane, correct you back into the parking space. Okay,
And then you got okay. Has the driver of the
other car taken responsibility?
Speaker 3 (36:12):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (36:13):
Okay, excellent. What do you do now? Well?
Speaker 1 (36:16):
Physical therapy seven weeks?
Speaker 2 (36:20):
Yeah, that's enough. That's enough to get a lawyer.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
The problem is one thousand dollars in damages, which today
one thousand dollars in damages is like a scratch on
the bumper. So there is an issue there. It's the
fight is going to be over the physical therapy. Liability
is not going to be an issue. So the fight
is going to be over the amount of medical the
(36:45):
medical help you got, because the insurance company on the
other side is going to say, yeah, okay, liability not
a problem. We'll pay for the we'll pay for the bumper.
We're not going to pay X thousands of dollars. It's
soft issue. Uh, it's you subjectively saying I have pain,
and the problem is not a broken bone, it's not
(37:07):
a contusion, it's not you know, laceration that they have
to sew up.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
It's nothing objective. It's all subjective.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
But that's enough, I think to get a personal injury lawyer.
I would certainly look at one to see if there's
anything there. It's not going to be huge, but a
PI lawyer is going to get you a lot more
than you're going to get now.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
You talk to the insurance company, They're.
Speaker 1 (37:30):
They're going to offer you maybe medical bills, that's it. Maybe,
or they might offer you a portion of medical bills.
And the problem is you didn't go to a personal
injury lawyer at the beginning, who then has relationships with
physical therapists where if money doesn't come in, they they
will reduce the amount of money they take. But at
(37:53):
this point, you still want to talk to a personal
injury lawyer.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
Go to handle on theolat dot com. This is what
these do.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
They do PI and they're very good and they'll tell
you whether or not you have something there. Just yeah,
go to the website handle on the law dot com.
That's the easiest thing you can do. At this point.
All right, now, let's talk about Zelman's minty mouth Zelmons
that I've been telling you about this for a long time.
These little capsules that are coated with a right nice
(38:22):
strong mint, and you suck on the mint part and
when that's.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
Gone, you swallow her bite into the capsules.
Speaker 1 (38:27):
And what happens, Well, the food is in your gut
when you eat, and that bad breath comes from there too,
actually probably more.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
And no mint in the world takes care of that. Okay,
So this morning what happened.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
I woke up morning breath, had my coffee, morning breath,
had a garlic babel bagel. Morning breath, coffee and garlic bagel.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
Hey, let me.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
So one eight.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Hundred five two zero one five three four. This is
Handle on the law, marginal legal advice where I tell
you have absolutely no case, over and over again unless
you have a case, and that destroys my day. And
if you need an attorney, that is pretty good stuff.
(01:41):
That'll be pretty upfront with you. If you need an attorney,
I will tell you, yeah, this is above your pay scale,
it's above my pay scale, and you need a specialist
to deal with that. And there are several areas a
lot where it's just that simple. All right, now, Oh,
this is such a great case. Usually when I talk
(02:02):
in the opening monologue about cases that come down, cases
that have been decided by the courts, are the appeals courts,
even the Supreme Court cases, and they tend to get
a little serious. Sometimes they're interesting. Usually they're interesting, but
sometimes God gives me his joy, gives me joy, And
(02:29):
this is when it's good to be a legal talk
show host. These don't come down the pipe very often.
When they do, they are absolutely delicious. So I'm going
to share this one with you because this is the
best I've had in a very long time. All Right,
There is this guy by the name of Caalise Karen Crowder,
thirty eight years old, was arrested at a Walmart that
(02:53):
I have gone to. It's in Burbank, and my studio
is in Burbank, and it's in the San Fernando Valley
where I live for most of my life, and so
I know this place very very well.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
I know this Walmart very very well.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Now, he has been arrested multiple times, and what he
does is he sniffs women's butts while in public. This
is what he's been arrested for several times. So police
responded to a nearby North sim Iraq and the same
(03:33):
shopping center for the report of a suspicious.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Man loitering in the women's department.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Okay, officers arrive and they're told that the suspect have
already left the department store. But while they're looking for him,
they find him at the Walmart across the parking lot.
And what the officers did was use the store security
camera the system to follow the man as he moved
around various departments and then observed him following a female
(04:05):
customer into the women's department. Observed him crouching down behind
the women engaged in quote leude behavior by inappropriately sniffing
her buttocks. So he is a butt sniffer, A serial
butt sniffer, and he has been arrested. And for those
(04:25):
of you, first of all, to think there's something wrong here,
there's another side to this. Please, let's give him some
kind of defense. What is his defense? All he was
doing was saying hello to these women like your pet
dog says hello to other dogs.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
There's nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Now.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Will he be convicted? Probably?
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Yeah, but you know, I mean, yeah, there are sex crimes,
and there are sex crimes, and I'm sure gonna get
email saying handlecup. How can you defend a butt snif effort? Well,
you know what, don't knock it. Until you tried it,
you know it ain't bad. Okay, how's that?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Huh? Am I get in trouble for that one?
Speaker 3 (05:12):
No?
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I don't think so. Okay, let's do it. Phone calls, Steve.
Let's start with you, Hello, Steve.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Hello Bill.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
Yes, I've got a small claims issue or I had
got the living trust, you know, paid the attorney, got
everything in order, but then they appointed my sister as
the I guess the word is executor or trustee trustee?
It would be trustee, yeah, trustee, And she's supposed to
distribute all the funds after both parents have passed away.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Okay, now let me ask her who Wait, who appointed
your sister?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
I'm assuming that's in the trust.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
Correct, my parents did that?
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Okay, got it? Okay, so she's the trustee of your
parents trust. Fair enough, moving on.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
So she after I sent her a letter, there was
a amount left after they both passed away. It was
fifty two thousand and so I even contacted three attorneys.
Two of them didn't return my call, and the one
that I finally talked to was that the Since I'm
(06:20):
retired and only have a Social Security income, I went
to the low income Attorney Helpers and of course they said, yeah,
we can handle your case, but it will be three
hundred and fifty dollars an hour. So I decided it
would probably be best to just go for small claims
(06:41):
because I was trying to get attorneys that would take
it on a contingency contingency and of course they're not
interested unless it's a big auto accident.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Right well, or any big or any big case in
which it looks like it's a dead bang winner and
it looks like there is a pocket and in this
case probably not, so they're not gonna make enough money
and they don't know. If they do get a judgment,
they're gonna collect the money, and that's why they said.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
No to you.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
So anyway, she was officially served on June the sixteenth,
and then after you file all the properly served paperwork
with the court, they issue a court date and they
want you to again serve her with the court date,
which you can do by certified mail, which I did do,
and so far she has refused to or I shouldn't
(07:34):
say refused, but she just hasn't gone down to the
post office to pick that up. So of course she
don't know what the court date is. And I'm wondering
if I can ask the is it too early to
ask the judge to issue a bench for it?
Speaker 6 (07:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Yeah, it's way tour.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
There's no bench warn't there, Because at this point you
can't even prove that she picked up the certified mail, correct,
I mean certified me And there's no address for her.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Is that what you are saying?
Speaker 7 (08:01):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (08:01):
No, she, like I said, we served her in person.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Then why why would you do certified mail to a
PO box or a or a post office.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
No, we're directly to her address.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Okay, and she just uh, and didn't they drop it off?
Or do you need a signature for it? Okay, So
here is what I would do. And now she's gonna
argue she never got it, who mailed the who mailed
the service?
Speaker 4 (08:33):
I did?
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Okay, I think you show up in court that day. Uh,
and you explained to the judge here's what I did.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
And she got served and she refuses to pick up
certified mail and then asked the judge may say, nope,
you got to do it, do you.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
You have to serve her, you have to prove it,
and so you may have to you may have to
hire process server.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Although the certified mail business, you know, usually you have
a date and you serve. So I don't quite know
how this works. So I'm a little confused here. But
if there is a doubt, you have a process server,
do it and put it in her hand. But I
don't know. Twice I have a process server, once for
the lawsuit and the other one for the date.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
So that one. Another thing.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
The other thing is I did hire two process servers.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
And they couldn't find her the second time around.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
Well, initially they couldn't find her, and then, like I said,
I've had one of my friends who went up to
where she lives off her father's No.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
No, I understand that was the first time.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
That was the first time around, right, correct, Yeah, you
got proper service. I'm talking about the second time around,
when you're giving her a when you're giving her the date,
which that part. I don't understand about small claims because
usually you have a date and here it is, and
you show up or you don't.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Anyway, I don't know why the court made I don't either.
I don't get that. But I don't get that.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
But show up in court that day and explain to
the judge, and the judge may do one of several things.
You do your testimony, you get a default judgment, or
they now you've got a server.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
But either way you've got to do it.
Speaker 8 (10:12):
You have.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
I would show up and definitely explain to the judge.
I just don't get that.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
I really don't get how you have to serve twice
including the date. I mean, I've never experienced that. This
is handle on the law, heyf I handle here. It
is a Saturday morning. Eight hundred five two zero one
five three four is the number two call. That's eight
hundred one eight zero excuse me, eight hundred and five
(10:40):

doesn't have any paperwork to sign.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Hello, well, welcome, hellol.
Speaker 9 (12:24):
Yes, I was a year ago on the fifth of July,
I was hit by three cars coming home from work.
Highway patrol deemed none of the accidents of things my fault.
Speaker 6 (12:40):
I was not at fault.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
So how do you get hit with three How do
you get hit with three cars?
Speaker 9 (12:46):
Well, the first call ran into the back of me
on the freeway and I spun out of control and
I regained control.
Speaker 6 (12:55):
I stopped and on this Okay, we.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Got all right.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
So it was okay, it was an accident that one
followed the other followed the other. One incident follow the other. Okay,
you got to hit my three cars. You are not
at fault. The highway patrols say you were not at fault. Okay,
where do we go from here?
Speaker 4 (13:11):
All right?
Speaker 9 (13:11):
So, uh, I atturned a I retained a law group
and it's been over a year and the first two
are willing to they've already said that they have you know,
this is what we are insurance of the drivers have
and they said this is what we can pay. The
(13:33):
third car is still they're still negotiating. Yeah, okay car
because right, uh so my question is you know, how
long should it take?
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Oh? It depends how bad? Okay, al how how badly
were you injured? That's the big issue here.
Speaker 9 (13:53):
I had head contusion, two broken ribs.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Okay, all right, you stop stop right there, stop right there.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
You have some serious injuries.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
And now we're talking about a complicated personal injury case
with three defendants and a lot of injury. So this
is not going to roll over very quickly because what's
going to happen is what insurance company is going to say,
we only had twenty percent of the fault and those
(14:25):
other guys had eighty and they toronto go no, no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Our guy wasn't really at fault that much.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
In other words, they'll be infighting between the three insurance
companies that's for starters, and then your attorney is arguing
with all three and getting as much money as possible.
So how long can it take?
Speaker 2 (14:44):
I don't know. A year is not completely off off
chart here.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
So what you get to do is you get to
call them and you get to say, Hey, what the
hell is going on? Tell me, give me where we
are in the case. I want to know letters, I
want to see the whole case. It's your case, and
then you can call me back and I'll tell you
you know, yeah, they're doing okay or they're slowing up,
(15:11):
and you want to call him and really harass them.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
But that's what you do.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
But a year and a case like that is not
off base, It really isn't. It can take sometimes these
things take two three years?
Speaker 2 (15:24):
All right? Ted? Hello? Ted?
Speaker 8 (15:28):
Hi Bill? Quick question. I have a family member late
sixties who a couple months ago got what they called
a misdemeanor DUI into custody, released later, and first time ever.
Nobody in my family has the experience with this. I
don't think he's ever had so much as a speeding ticket.
(15:48):
So my question is he's got to court date, Should
he get a lawyer? What does he need?
Speaker 4 (15:53):
To do.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Yeah, I'll tell you what I depends on what he
wants to do the DUI. Let's start with, I'm assuming
he took a breathalyzer test.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Correct, Yes, Okay, do you have any idea what he
blew on that one?
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Considering that legally, I'm sorry, he.
Speaker 8 (16:15):
Must have been over that or they wouldn't have taken
him into custody.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Well, actually they sometimes do. But you're right, So it
depends how over that he was. If, for example, he's
at a point one to oh or a point one
two and he's way over the point oh eight, there's
really no place for him to go now spending Well,
if it was you know, I mean, he could constantly
(16:40):
he could say the breathalyzer was off and attack that.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
But it's it's tough.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
He's probably gonna get exactly the same punishment as if
he hired an attorney.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Uh, it's not a big deal.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
What I would do if I were him, I'd show
up court date and turned to the city attorney and
say and just ask. I would ask the attorney now
and do I Well, you can't do that because the
attorney will say no, he should call up a couple
of DUI attorneys. But here's the problem. DUI attorneys make
(17:15):
their living on DUIs and how many of them would say, no,
you don't need me. That's what the problem. Now my
PI attorneys on handle on the law dot com, that's
what they say when they're not needed.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
But that's few and far between.
Speaker 9 (17:33):
So you know.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
He's going to get the same punishment as if he
hired an attorney.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
I don't know what you know.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Here's what I do is hire or look at a
few DUI attorneys that you see advertise because they do
a lot of them, and say what can you do
for me? How do I get out of this? Or
what are you going to be able to offer? And
call a few more and see what they have to say.
(18:02):
I personally would just walk in and say, yeah, I
did it, especially if you know they if you blow
a point one or above, so that that is, he's
probably gonna get the same thing, license suspended for thirty days,
he has to go to DUI school or whatever. I mean,
he's gonna pay a big time. It'll be several hundred
(18:23):
dollars maybe one thousand dollars plus insurance going up and
tell him not to drink and drive. I mean, that's
the easiest way. How long how long was he in
jail before they released him?
Speaker 8 (18:34):
I believe it was ten hours if I understand correctly.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Okay, so that's not enough to turn him gay, Okay,
got it.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
This is Handle on the Law.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
Ooh, yes you can. Those cases have actually gone up.
Here is the problem, all right? If you're before just
the judge a bench trial, there's a really good chance
the judge has her pies and said, do.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
You know what? I've got it and I can still
live with it. Al, you're gone.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Now.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Let's say you go in front of a jury. Half
the guys and the other half of the women.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Also have herpes? And how much money are they going
to give you?
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Now?
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Unless you can show the court, uh that you have
you know.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
A ship an open shanker with super rating wounds and
it's really disgusting and it uh and that's a little
embarrassing when you pull your pants down and you show
your sponse to the jury. The point is, uh, yes
you can. Uh and actually those cases have been pretty good.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
The the answer is yes. And who is the someone
that you would be suing? I don't want the name,
but tell me, uh, the relationship and the real the
real question is how much money do they have?
Speaker 7 (20:33):
That's well, I know how much money is there?
Speaker 1 (20:36):
That's the point I'm asking. Oh, it's it may very
well be enough. Hold on, it may very well well
be enough that the lawsuit goes and an attorney might
pick it up who probably also is her piece. Uh
So who is it that you're suing? And don't give
me a name, just tell me the relationship?
Speaker 5 (20:52):
Is my partner?
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Oh, your partner partner? And how long have you been
and involved with your partner partner?
Speaker 7 (21:00):
It's like three years?
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Three years? Wow?
Speaker 1 (21:03):
And so your partner is stooping someone else? Clearly right? No, well,
how do how does she is it? By the way,
is a male or female partner al male or female partner?
Speaker 5 (21:16):
It's a female okay, female partner.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Okay, you've been stopping her for three years and now
herpies has come up. Although it can be dormant, Yeah,
it can be dormant and come up.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
And so the question is, uh, you know, reproving that
she has it. Now, does she have money? That's also
a big issue.
Speaker 6 (21:39):
There might be some money, yeah, tied up and other things.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
But yeah, okay, you know the answer is lawsuits have
been filed and they have one and money has changed hands.
So you know, I'm gonna let you do call check
in with handle on the law dot com and talk
to one of the lawyers.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Now, are they going to take the case. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
If there is something there, and this is it's personal injury,
they say no, there's not enough money there. They're very
honest about this sort of stuff, and they may say
there's something there, but there's a there there in congratulations
with your herpes.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
So now let's talk about Now I'm going to play
doctor handle. Let's look at the symptoms. Open sores on
your schwans.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
Yeah, teasing a breakout, very deep, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
I'm discussing. Yeah, I know, I know, disgusting stains on
your underwear. All of that. No, I know it's horrible. Okay, Steve, Hello.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Steve, how you doing handle?
Speaker 7 (22:43):
It's nice to talk with you. I will. I was
doing a credit card application with my own bank and
they approved me. They said I have like an eight hundred,
very nice, But they said I have to pay a
car insurance bill Brady Bucks. And I said, I didn't
get any car insurance. They said, yeah, you did. It's
(23:04):
by that company that sounds like.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Okay, don't you tell me? Yeah, you don't have to
tell me.
Speaker 11 (23:10):
Okay, right, okay, go ahead taking my credit and they
want me to pay eighty dollars. My own bank says,
I got to pay the eighty before I get a
credit card from them. Okay, it's harming me. They do
class action against that company.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
No, no, you don't go class action. No no, no,
this isn't class action.
Speaker 7 (23:29):
They're doing to everybody.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
They're doing I'm sorry they're doing well, how do you
know they're doing How do you know they're doing.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
It to everybody?
Speaker 7 (23:36):
Because there's no there's no negative for them.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
How do you know they're doing it to everybody? How
do you know they're doing it to everybody?
Speaker 7 (23:46):
Sense?
Speaker 4 (23:46):
Bill?
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Come on the common sense doesn't know. Common sense doesn't fly. No, No,
it's how do you know they're doing that? Record everybody?
I mean, you've got to come up. The lawyer who
is going to take a class action is going to
research it and find out does this in fact affect everybody?
And have they been doing this? And have they been
(24:07):
with holding credit on a credit card unless you pay
an insurance bill and none of that makes sense. That's
very weird, especially since you say you don't owe eighty dollars.
And what I don't get it is this an insurance
company that you've dealt with and they say you you're
short eighty dollars.
Speaker 12 (24:27):
No, I was getting a quote on the internet. Faoe
oh man, oh okay, got it? You were getting okay,
got it? All right, you have to dispute that, clearly,
you have to dispute that.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
And saying I never there is no contract between me
and the insurance company. I would call the insurance company
and go up the food chain and talk to some
vice president in charge of BS credit card charges whatever,
and say, hey, guys, I was only.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Getting a quote. I never agree.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
I don't have a relationship with you, and I am
being hurt they've affected that they have danger credit?
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Is that correct? Yes?
Speaker 7 (25:09):
They have?
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Uh, and it's gone from where to where? Just questionable?
Just questioning here.
Speaker 7 (25:17):
Well, I'm at the point now do I go to
small claims court?
Speaker 2 (25:21):
No, Hang on a minute, I'm asking you. I'm asking
you a question.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Your your credit score has gone from where to where?
Speaker 7 (25:30):
Eight hundred to lower? I don't know what it's down.
I don't know what it is now technically, but I
went from perfection to not okay, perfection?
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Yeah, yeah, No, you don't go to you don't go
to small claims court because what are you going to
go to small claims court for?
Speaker 2 (25:44):
The judge isn't going to order?
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Understand, I understand, but it's it's not the jurisdiction of
small claims.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
The small claims judge isn't going to do anything. Okay.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
There are cases out there in which people have been
wrongly dinged on their credit and there.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Is a whole world to that.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
So you get to do a little research and just
put in the search words because there may be something there. Also,
you just may want to go to another credit a
credit card company and just you know, if you're visa,
then go to MasterCard. Then go to whatever and apply
there and if you if you're at eight hundred, let's
(26:24):
say you were over eight hundred and now you're at
seven fifty seven sixty, you should still get the same
credit card. So I don't get that anyway, you have
to make that phone call. That's strange. That really, that
is a strange one.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Oh okay, TJ, Hi, TJ welcome, OYJ. Yes, So.
Speaker 6 (26:51):
Property recently and through the.
Speaker 13 (26:56):
Scro process. Uh, last day of clothing, there's a retaining
wall on my property and the neighbors said, yep, that
we put a retaining wall on your property. It's been
within a year to keep long varies from three feet
two feet inside my property. Next week I have a
(27:16):
survey to come out to clearly mark my property line.
I'm just looking to see get some advice and what
routes I have recourse and for the property itself.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Yeah, you got a couple You've got a couple of things.
Permit one Yeah, okay, you can call the city.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Okay, you can call the city, and the city you'll
come out and say tear down the wall. Tell straight
out if they didn't have a permit, it needs to
be permitted it's just tear down the damn wall. The
other thing is, uh, they have encroached on your property
and uh built on your property, and now you have
some damages going on.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
You know, this is time for.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
A either a construction or a real estate lawyer, because
there may be some pretty serious damage here in terms
of monetary damage.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
And I don't know what that's worth.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
I mean a two hundred foot retaining wall on your property,
I mean without a permit.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
When do they build it within a year?
Speaker 13 (28:15):
Yeah, it appears to be within a year according to
Okay images and specifically ask them. But twenty twenty four,
the wall was not.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Yeah, it's yeah, there's something there. Yeah, that's there. You go, Yeah,
you get a lawyer on that one and find out
where where you are, probably a construction lawyer or as
I said, a real state lawyer, and just get to
do research. Yeah. No, often I tell you go do
research because I don't have lawyers on my list, and
I usually don't refer to lawyers because I don't know
(28:42):
how good they are. And obviously, you know, the pipart
is easy because I got handle on the law dot

Speaker 2 (30:49):
Neil, Hello, Neil.
Speaker 6 (30:53):
Hello, yeah kay. My dad died in twenty twenty one.
My mom died one year later in twenty twenty two.
My sisters the power of attorney. I got a home
fried in this let's just say a New England state
where they're judge and the attorneys. My mom's attorney knew
(31:15):
each other, so they took me my name off the
signature card. She claimed ownership of the banking.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Okay, hold on, who is they Wait a second, Neil,
who is they took your name off the signature card?
Speaker 6 (31:30):
The two power of attorneys sisters joint powered attorney.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Okay, they let me ask you was this a trust
you're talking about.
Speaker 6 (31:39):
No, it's just just my mom's estate.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
Okay, So there's no trust, there's no will, nothing.
Speaker 6 (31:49):
There is a will. They didn't introduce the will. It
was under guardianship. They so they seek out guardianship they.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Talked about and the will will do you know what
the will said? Where the money is left to? Who
the money is left to?
Speaker 6 (32:07):
There's there was a will they did. They drew up
together in twenty thirteen, modified in seventeen. They had my
mom re sign a will three months before she died.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
Who is they? Who is they? Once again we're talking they.
Speaker 6 (32:25):
The two power of attorneys. It was okay, to.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
The power of attorneys, which you I mean that when
someone dies that really doesn't have a whole lot of validity.
So your name is taken off the power of attorney
or taken off the the bank card is what you're saying.
Speaker 6 (32:43):
The bank card? Yes, okay, on there as one of
the three children as a beneficiary, transfer on debt.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Okay, and all of a sudden, your name is gone
right yes, wow, okay, So what happened? You're in front
of a judge now, okay, now, and what is the judge?
Speaker 6 (33:01):
The judge said that she understood she owned the checking account,
but under New York State Rule six seventy five, she
owned the checking account, but he claimed she didn't understand,
but she claimed ownership of the checking account. They sold
(33:23):
the house stole all right, Hold.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
On a minute. I don't care about that at this point.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
I'm just confused about there's a card now that a
bank account that shows beneficiaries upon death, and the beneficiaries
were the three of.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
You, if I if I, if I'm reading this right?
Speaker 6 (33:42):
Nope, there was two of us were beneficiaries. The other
one was on the card. And I found.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
A as what on the card? As what I'm not
understanding this, Neil, as a part ownership.
Speaker 6 (33:57):
She was on there with my parents.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
As an okay, as an ownership, part ownership. Okay, I'm
very confused here, and I certainly don't know New York law.
All right, So it ended up happening, you ended up
getting stiffed, and then there was your name on it,
and somehow that disappeared your name. So someone fraudulently took
your name off, is what you're saying.
Speaker 6 (34:17):
Ye, yes, And they ended the account with the sale
of the house. The funds of the house.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Okay, they funded the account, so no one took any
money out at that point.
Speaker 6 (34:30):
Yes they did. They gifted themselves two hundred and fifty
almost three hundred grand.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Okay, all right, who listed the house?
Speaker 6 (34:40):
My sister. But they had my mom sign a piece
of paper saying what the attorney that they just to
sell the house. You know, they acted for her, but
she was out of state.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
So but okay, but she dies and there's no will
and there was no probate. Is just she went ahead
and did it?
Speaker 1 (35:01):
None of this, Neil, Neil, I got to tell you,
none of this makes sense to me. I mean, I
don't know where to go with that, because you're setting up.
They took my name off and they sold and there
was no probate and there was no beneficiary, and I
was a beneficiary and I was fraudulently taken off and
the judge okay, nice, nice call, Scott, Hello Scott, good morning.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
I was parked at the post office in Ramona nine
two oh sixty five, about over a year ago, and
I was reading my mail. My car was in park,
the parking break was on. I was sitting still. Another
individual backed into me. There was damaged into my front bumper,
and I experienced neck pain and back pain. I went
(35:46):
to seven weeks of physical therapy, and I'm all done.
Now what should I do?
Speaker 2 (35:51):
Okay? Were you in a parking spot? I was okay.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
And so you're in a parking place and you're facing
out towards the lane, correct you back into the parking space. Okay,
And then you got okay. Has the driver of the
other car taken responsibility?
Speaker 3 (36:12):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (36:13):
Okay, excellent. What do you do now? Well?
Speaker 1 (36:16):
Physical therapy seven weeks?
Speaker 2 (36:20):
Yeah, that's enough. That's enough to get a lawyer.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
The problem is one thousand dollars in damages, which today
one thousand dollars in damages is like a scratch on
the bumper. So there is an issue there. It's the
fight is going to be over the physical therapy. Liability
is not going to be an issue. So the fight
is going to be over the amount of medical the
(36:45):
medical help you got, because the insurance company on the
other side is going to say, yeah, okay, liability not
a problem. We'll pay for the we'll pay for the bumper.
We're not going to pay X thousands of dollars. It's
soft issue. Uh, it's you subjectively saying I have pain,
and the problem is not a broken bone, it's not
(37:07):
a contusion, it's not you know, laceration that they have
to sew up.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
It's nothing objective. It's all subjective.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
But that's enough, I think to get a personal injury lawyer.
I would certainly look at one to see if there's
anything there. It's not going to be huge, but a
PI lawyer is going to get you a lot more
than you're going to get now.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
You talk to the insurance company, They're.
Speaker 1 (37:30):
They're going to offer you maybe medical bills, that's it. Maybe,
or they might offer you a portion of medical bills.
And the problem is you didn't go to a personal
injury lawyer at the beginning, who then has relationships with
physical therapists where if money doesn't come in, they they
will reduce the amount of money they take. But at
(37:53):
this point, you still want to talk to a personal
injury lawyer.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
Go to handle on theolat dot com. This is what
these do.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
They do PI and they're very good and they'll tell
you whether or not you have something there. Just yeah,
go to the website handle on the law dot com.
That's the easiest thing you can do. At this point.
All right, now, let's talk about Zelman's minty mouth Zelmons
that I've been telling you about this for a long time.
These little capsules that are coated with a right nice
(38:22):
strong mint, and you suck on the mint part and
when that's.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
Gone, you swallow her bite into the capsules.
Speaker 1 (38:27):
And what happens, Well, the food is in your gut
when you eat, and that bad breath comes from there too,
actually probably more.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
And no mint in the world takes care of that. Okay,
So this morning what happened.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
I woke up morning breath, had my coffee, morning breath,
had a garlic babel bagel. Morning breath, coffee and garlic bagel.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
