Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listenings kmp I AM six forty. The bill handles
show on demand on the iHeartRadio f This is handle
on the law marginal legal advice, where I tell you
have absolutely no case. New York has a mayor Zoron Mamdami,
(00:21):
who is considers himself was elected and believes he is
a democratic socialist.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Now is he a real socialist?
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Now, not particularly, but pretty left wing, I mean, pretty progressive.
And he is also a Muslim. And one of the
things that he is is a big fan of the Palestinians,
as you would expect, and not a big fan of Israel.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
As you would expect.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
And so today it's getting easier and easier politically to
be anti Israel considering what's going on in the Mid
East and Gaza. So there are some legs there, but
you can a little bit too far, and Mamdani Mandani
has gone a little bit too far. Benjamin Natanyahu, who
(01:07):
is the Prime Minister of Israel, is considered an enemy
for many Muslims, considered a also not so much a dictator,
but considered a war criminal actually for the bombing that
happened in Gaza. And there's some argument I want to
go into both sides, because they both sides have a case.
(01:28):
But the point is that Benjamin Netanyah, who is hated
particularly by those who are of Arabis scent or a
Muslim or pro the pro Palestinian cause. And he's right
there at the top of the list. So he is
the mayor, and he said that he will arrest Prime
(01:50):
Minister Benjamin net Nyahu when Yahu comes to New York
City to address the UN And you wonder, wait a minute,
there is he's going to arrest him. Now, there is
a warrant out there internationally for netanya who's and by
the way, very difficult. People don't get aheads of state,
(02:12):
don't get arrested. But the point is you've got a
city mayor, and he has said when Netanyaho, if Netanyah
who comes to New York City, which you will, he said, quote,
my administration has reviewed every avenue available under applicable law
to determine whether New York City could execute the International
(02:32):
Criminal Court's arrest warrant.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
If Netagna who came here.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Now, Oh, and the federal government, however, does have jurisdiction,
and I call on them to join the ICC and
execute this warrant. Notice what he said, I call on
them to join the ICC because of there's a couple
of countries in the world that don't belong to the
International Criminal Court, the United States being one of them.
(03:00):
The US is not part of that treaty. So this
is what Mandami is asking, is that the US, who
does not recognize the court, recognize the warrant to arrest
someone on the basis of some jurisdiction that doesn't apply,
(03:22):
that doesn't exist. And then he came back and said, yeah, okay,
maybe I don't have the right to arrest him, but
I sure want to a political move. I love these politicians,
you know, why don't you do something serious as opposed
to this babbel. And it's not just him, it's Mayor's
like crazy. Here in Los Angeles, we have a mayor
(03:43):
Karen Bass, who does basically the same thing, talks about
things he has no jurisdiction but talking about or no
business talking about. And you have congress people, and you
have senators, and you have state senators and county supervisors.
I mean, you know, it's just it's a weird time.
That is Okay, let's go ahead and take some phone calls.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Phil, You've been around for a bit. What can I
do for you? Phil?
Speaker 4 (04:06):
I got some really bad news year in March. Yes,
I hit a woman, Oh bad her? Well, well, what happened.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
Was just now.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
I got a letter from my insurance And first off,
it says, okay, she's asking she's got a listen here,
she has a lawyer, and she's asking six hundred and
five thousand dollars okay. And she says original pain and
(04:42):
suffering and forty four Yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Know they go through.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
I'm surprised she's not asking for six million. Guy, that's
what people do. I mean, that doesn't mean a whole lot.
But okay, So she's asking for a pile of money
from you, and your insurance company is telling you this.
Speaker 6 (04:56):
Okay, okay, let me tell you.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
It says the insurance company says, your bodily injury coverage
is limited to fifty thousand okay a person, Yeah, and
one hundred thousand per occurrence for bodily injury.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
What's that mean exactly?
Speaker 3 (05:12):
That means that all they're going to pay is fifty
thousand dollars out if it's your fault and you've injured
someone they're saying, we're covering you for fifty grand. That's it.
After that, it's up to you. That's what that means.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
Oh god, no, But.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Don't worry about it.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Let me tell you, unless she is horrifically injured, in
the vast majority of cases, her lawyer and her will
settle for the fifty thousand dollars. Because if she then
goes after you, first of all, they have to do
an asset search. How much money do you have? What
do you have put away? Are you working? How much
do you earn? Let's look at your finances because that's
(05:49):
where all this is. Do you have a couple of
hundred thousand dollars? Do you have a couple hundred thousand
dollars hanging around?
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Okay, well then you know it's time for you are
going to have to get a lawyer because you're going
to get sued. I mean, he's not going to the
insurance company's going to write out a check for fifty
thousand dollars. Okay, there you go, And now what Now
you've got a you've been you're getting sued, and there
is a case and you have no insurance other than
(06:16):
the fifty thousand dollars that's already been paid. So now
there becomes a court battle and you get an attorney
and you fight it.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Okay, they said, the insurance comp so we will do
our best to settle the case.
Speaker 6 (06:27):
Exactly what you're going to.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Do, yea, that's what they're going to do. They're going
to settle or try to settle. And as they said,
unless you have a good chunk of money that's easily
ascertainable that they can get hold of, they'll probably settle. Now, realistically,
does she have six hundred thousand dollars worth of damage?
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Worth of injury?
Speaker 6 (06:47):
How banged she? Oh?
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Okay, I'm asking a question. What do you think?
Speaker 4 (06:51):
No, she's up to seven?
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Yeah, I don't care what she says. No, No, I don't
care how badly was she injured? I mean, she's going
to ask for ten million dollars for a soft tissue injury,
right if she has a stubtarge. She doesn't asked for
a million dollars. How do you have any idea how
injured she was?
Speaker 4 (07:08):
It's is initial pain and suffering resional compensation.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Yeah, I don't care how injured.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Let me ask you what surgeries do you happen to
know how injured she was, surgeries, broken bones, amputations, organs being.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
Just going by the hour what they've spent on her.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Hey, that doesn't matter either. That doesn't matter. Any broken bones,
any surgery. Do you have any idea?
Speaker 4 (07:33):
No, they don't mention anything.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Okay, Well, it all's predicated on how badly injured she is.
The fact that she's asking all of this means nothing.
You can ask for the moon and her lawyer is
going to ask for a million dollars, ten million dollars,
one hundred million dollars.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
I mean, there are soft tissue injuries where people have
a rear ender and oh my neck, oh good, and
you go to a chiropractor and oh man, it's really
not helping, and and I want a million dollars. Happens
all the time. So you know, you have to let
it play out. You have to let it play out.
It's that simple.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
So my insurance company will let me know.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Oh yeah, yeah, your insurance come to let you know
all of it, all of it.
Speaker 6 (08:15):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Now, oh talking about well what a segue into talking
about handle on the law dot com. Because people get sued,
You get sued you have been injured, for example, in
a car accident and not your fault. Okay, So with
that being said, what do you do now? All you
can do is get money, nothing else. So you want
(08:38):
to get the most you can get based on your injuries.
So there you go, not at fault. You've been injured
car accidents, slip and fall and so what do you.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Do, Well, you hire a lawyer.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
You don't pay for the lawyer because the lawyer only
takes a percentage of what the case is settled for.
But you need a good lawyer. And this is why
handle on the Law dot Com came into being. Handle
on the Law dot com is I created it because
there are a lot of lawyers out there advertising like crazy.
You're aware of it. Some are good, some are excellent,
some not so good. So how do you know? Well,
(09:10):
here we go Handle on the Law dot com. Lawyers
who are vetted lawyers. If there's a problem, I make
the phone call, and lawyers who know exactly what they're
doing called eight eight eight eight eight eight eight six
six eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight six
six eight Handle on the law dot com. This is
Handle on the Law.
Speaker 7 (09:30):
You're listening to Bill handle on Demand from KF. I
am six forty.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Welcome back, more handle on the law, marginal legal advice.
Uh okay, hey Susan, let's try you.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
What can I do for you?
Speaker 8 (09:49):
Hi, Bill, thanks for taking my call. Sure, I am.
I had I had a pair of beautiful designer glasses
and I wanted the lenses replaced because I have a
new prescription. And it took me quite a while to
find someone that would be able to do that. And
so I took my glasses in and talked to the doctor.
(10:14):
He said, I could do this. I have to send
them to the last and the order to the lab.
It'll take about seven to ten days. And when they
come back, well i'll do this. I'll put them, take
them in my little lab in the back, and i'll
show them down depend into your glasses. So I said, okay, fine,
I paid him. Ten days happened, no glasses. I called, Oh,
(10:37):
well the latt had some problems. Okay, well we'll get them.
We'll get them probably in a couple of days. Well
that went on and on and on, and every time
it was we had to resubmit the order, and so
I finally I finally called him and I said, you know,
it's been twenty five days, and I decided that I
(10:59):
want to cancel the order and I want my money back.
And the answer was, okay, come in and bring in
your credit card and we'll do it. So I said, well,
I can't come in the next next fifteen minutes because
you're going to be closed and I can't get there
in time. So it came the next day. I walk
in and she says, oh, guess what. Your lensis came
(11:21):
in yesterday, but the machine that the doctor needs to
use is broken and we need to get a new part.
Well today, it's been one week.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Okay, my classes got it. So what's your question?
Speaker 8 (11:36):
My question is, is there is there any possibility that
I can do something to get my money back?
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Sure, you say, you say I want my money back.
Do they have your Do they have your frames?
Speaker 8 (11:48):
My frame? He has my frames now and he has
the lenses.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Okay, So you so what you do is used to
a small claims court for the lenses and the frame
all the money you paid them, and you also ask
for your frames back.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
That's all you go. You call him up.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
I don't want my frames back unless they plan on
holding your frames and they're going to extort you. It's
real simple. You say, hey, you're not doing what you
promised to do, and it's not my problem that your
machine is broken. I'm going to take it to another place.
Speaker 9 (12:21):
Now.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
If he's the only doctor who can do this, if
he's the only autometriss, then you have to just suck
it up and live with it and just call him
every day or you or you don't get glasses back.
Speaker 8 (12:33):
I mean, what are you Well, yeah, okay, so he's
the only one that will be able to do this,
she said, okay, well.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Okay, then you either do it with him and you
call him every single day and harass him and go, hey,
I can't see I'm falling down.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
I'm you know, I can't drive.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Look what you're doing to me, and just go on
and on and on and say, either you finish it
up or give me my glasses back, and you're just
not going to be able to do it. I mean,
he's got you between a rock and a hard place.
Not that he's extorting you, it's that there's nobody else there.
And so it's so the ballgames in his court, or
(13:13):
the balls in the court is in this ballgame so yeah,
that's the problem. He's the only one. So there's the answer. Okay, Jerry,
you're a pillow. Jerry, welcome to handle all the law.
Speaker 6 (13:24):
Yes, I was working as a data analyst up in Rono, Virginia,
back in twenty nineteen. I started working there that in
October thirty, first Halloween night. Well, in the afternoon, I
drank a what do they call that coke zero? Can
(13:50):
of coke zero, And as the afternoon progress, I started feeling,
we can get in this pain in my chest and
then they got really bad that I couldn't concentrate. So
I told my boss I was leaving to go to
the urgent care. I got down there and they took
(14:14):
my blood pressure and they told me that you're about
to have a heart attack. You had to get back
to the hospital now.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
So they worked me over by ambulanced the hospital and
they started pumping me with that nicroglycerin pills to keep
my blood pressure down.
Speaker 6 (14:38):
And that's skyrocket all the way up.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
The all tell me what happened.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
I don't need a whole medical background on this, Okay.
So you're at the hospital and tell people, so what
happened to you?
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Okay?
Speaker 10 (14:49):
You.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Obviously you didn't die. No good, that's a help.
Speaker 6 (14:55):
So the next day the doctor said, hearts and good condition.
We don't know why you didn't have a heart attack,
but your heart is in perfect condition. That's very important
because a year later I get rushed to where I
was working at and at the hospital, and they got
(15:19):
me back up my feet a couple of days later.
I didn't think too much of it. Well, I got
rushed back again. I saw having the fluid built up
my lungs, and the next day the er doctor came
in told me, hey, when you were here last week,
(15:42):
they misdiagnosed you.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Okay, get to the.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Bottom line here. I don't want to know what you
had for dinner. I don't know what time you went
to the bathroom. Okay, so they misdiagnosed you. You didn't
have a heart attack. You thought you did. H and
so you went three times to the r in the
hospital and drink cozine zero disgusting.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
You should also they took me off alquist.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
I don't care. I don't care. That's what the doctor does.
So what happened? What happened? What's your question?
Speaker 6 (16:10):
So I developed this brain fog and became very weak,
all right, and they fired me because I wasn't keeping
up with.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
The Okay, got it? All right, see where I'm going,
Yeah I do. And it took you ten minutes to
get there. Yeah, I got it.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
So you're fired, you don't have a job, and there
you go, and you're arguing to medical malpractice.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
It happened October of What did you wat?
Speaker 6 (16:35):
I can't file. I can't well, I knew I had
a problem back then.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
But I don't care. Why did you wait? Why did
you wait seven years? That's a good question, That is
the question. Yeah, well, let me tell you something. Yeah,
that's it. Yeah, that's it, Thank you all.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
The other question is this happened in twenty in twenty nineteen,
and okay, it's been a pleasure talking to you. All right,
call me again seven years from now if you have
a problem. I'll be more than happy to answer any
phone calls. Now, let me talk to you if you've
been injured in an accident. No, no, let me know.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
This's do the other way. Let me do the other one,
and I'll tell you about incognate.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
If you think that you have privacy online for some
crazy reason, you believe you have privacy, man, that just
doesn't exist, not even close your home, address, where you work,
where you bake, what you buy, where you buy it,
court records, accident history, DMV information, credit score, I mean
all of it. You are up there for the world
to see. And let me tell you, it gets even
(17:38):
worse than that because data brokers know that you're up
there and they collect that information. Hundreds of data brokers
do that and then they sell it to anyone who
wants to buy it, your information, even the bad guys.
You think you have privacy right, let me tell you
about Incognate. This is a company that actually comes and
invites back. What they do for you is they contact
(17:59):
hundreds of these data brokers and legally demand your information
be deleted. And that has to be that's the law.
And when new brokers pop up and Cogniti deals with them.
Two and now I'm a huge fan. Why because while
I'm a customer in before the show, every show, I
log onto my Incognitia account and there they are right
there for me to see. Hundreds of removal requests have
(18:19):
been completed, hundreds more are in progress and are scheduled.
I can check every day in Cogni get sixty percent

Speaker 7 (18:39):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Welcome back more Handle on the lot boy, those marshmallows.
You're good.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Handle on the Law. Okay, Lucy, let's go to you. Hello, Lucy, welcome, Hi.
Speaker 10 (18:56):
Bill, Thank you sure. So I have a question. So
about six months ago I got a restrain in order
against my neighbor for threatening me. Was all awarded. Everything
was good. About a month ago, his wife and I
got into a disagreement and I called the police and
she called the police, and next day I know she
(19:18):
tried to get a tro against me. It wasn't awarded,
and then she long story short, my husband got a
tro against her. So now because he has one against her,
I was in court with him trying and I found
out my name was on one. So I had no
idea she was trying to get one against me until then.
So there was no service for me for four weeks
(19:41):
and then they attempted to serve me. I haven't been
served at all, and she has an attorney. And my
question is, well, first of all, there's no merrit to
her case against me. Do I need to get an attorney?
Speaker 2 (19:52):
I know?
Speaker 3 (19:52):
And by the way, what is the restraining order to
ask that you stay away from her within fifty yards
one hundred yard?
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Or do you have any idea what she's asking for?
Speaker 10 (20:03):
Yeah, because I saw it. I went to court and okay,
I haven't been sorry, but I saw it. She's saying
that I harassed her and I need to stay away
from her.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Okay, I don't care about why. But what is she
asking for? What is she asking for away from.
Speaker 10 (20:17):
Her restraining order for me to stay away from her?
Speaker 2 (20:20):
And why would you not want to stay away from her?
Speaker 10 (20:22):
I do want to stay away from her. But what
she's saying is I harassed her.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
It doesn't matter. I don't care. I don't care what
she says.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
She can say you're out there, you know, killing your
pet dogs, It doesn't matter, or killing her pet dogs.
You have a restraining order against her? Stay away? She
has restraining against yeah, okay, you have one against the husband,
she has one against you. Everybody has restraining orders against
everyone else. And what's the bottom line. The restraining order says,
(20:49):
don't get near each other. And it doesn't matter who's filed.
It doesn't matter what has merrit, what doesn't have merit.
The bottom line is why would you need an attorney?
What are you going to fight?
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Are you going to say her straining order is no good?
Stay away from her?
Speaker 6 (21:04):
Good?
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (21:05):
Well Bill, okay, I've stayed away from her.
Speaker 6 (21:09):
Then you'll find I have a clearance.
Speaker 10 (21:10):
I don't want this on my record.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
I don't want a record.
Speaker 10 (21:12):
No, excuse me?
Speaker 2 (21:13):
What record? What record? What do you think is going
to happen?
Speaker 10 (21:16):
I have a security clearance?
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Then you okay.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Now you have to find out wherever you're working is
a restraining order? Uh? Does it affect your security clearance?
I don't know. And if it does affect your seclear
security clearance, then you have to go to court.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Then you have to have it removed.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
But if it doesn't, I don't care if my neighbor
has a security you know, I don't care if my
neighbor has a restraining order against me. I don't want
to touch my neighbor anyway. I don't want to get
near my name, don't.
Speaker 10 (21:46):
Yeah, I don't want to get near. But if she
has one, is my question?
Speaker 3 (21:50):
No, unless unless your security clearance is at risk by
having a security by having a restraining order against you.
I don't know the answer to that. I have no idea.
Is that a federal clearance?
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Is it? Are you a secret FBI agent? Okay?
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Then you have to find out from your employer if
I have a restraining order against me.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Here's the question that you would ask.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
If I have a restraining order against me and it
is fraudulent or it is it's not good, it's based
on information that's not true, will it affect my security clearance?
And if the answer is no, people file restraining orders
all day long to stay away from her, then leave
it alone. Now, if it does and your job is
(22:37):
in jeopardy, oh boy, then you have to Then you
have to hire a lawyer to get rid of it.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
There's no question, unfortunately.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
And then you fire her. You assue her for the
same thing, you know, arguing your your legal fees. Okay,
that's what you do, by the way, real quickly, what
do you do for a living?
Speaker 10 (22:56):
I work for the government.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Well, that's usually too. What do you do for I
tell you? Oh, okay, let's get general about it.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Okay, to the point where you can tell me you
work for the federal government and your security?
Speaker 6 (23:13):
Are you in?
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Could you be a spy? For example?
Speaker 10 (23:17):
Would you No? I would tell you anyway.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Okay, all right, Well what is your position? Can I
ask that administrative? Okay?
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Okay, Well it's enough. You know I'm not going to
go any place with you. I got it anyway, Lucy,
good luck, enjoy yourself, hate your neighbor, all right, Michael, Hello, Michael, welcome.
Speaker 11 (23:38):
Yeah, Hi Bill. Well, I'm in benich Arizona. I'm a renter,
right and I get inspected by my landlord multiple times
a year, about three or four. I've been here for
six years. I have a pet. It's not been declared
to the landlord, but during the inspections for about three
four years, they have never mentioned anything about it. The
(24:00):
pet's been invisible sight. You see where I'm going with this.
All of a sudden, now they want to include the
pet in as a penalty or a nondeclared pat And
you want to charge me a pee? Do I have
any stands?
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Okay, hang on a minute. Undeclared pet?
Speaker 3 (24:16):
So you didn't tell me you had to pet when
you did have a pet you moved in with your
I assume it's a cat, right, or it's a dog
or what is it a cow?
Speaker 8 (24:23):
A cat?
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Okay, so now you have a cat. You didn't tell
me how a cat. Are they allowed to charge you
extra for having a pet?
Speaker 2 (24:32):
They are.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
I don't know what the lease says, but certainly they're
allowed to do that. And landlords all over the place
charge extra money bringing in a cat and probably increase
the cleaning fees at the end of the lease. So
can they charge you? Yeah, they probably can. They probably can.
How much do they want to charge you, Michael? Five
(24:55):
dred bucks and they just keep the five hundred dollars.
It's not a deposit as against.
Speaker 11 (25:01):
Right, Okay, buddy, how much do you pay the pet deposit?
Speaker 6 (25:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Oh okay, if they're only willing to do that, how much?
How much do you like your pet? This cat? How
close are you your cat?
Speaker 11 (25:10):
Oh? Yeah, she does her job, no critters around the house.
She's she's very very Okay.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
So if I tell you to kill the cat or
give it away, that's not going to work. Okay, fair enough, Yeah, negotiate, negotiate,
I mean, can they do that? Probably? What happens to
you say, no, are they are going to evict you?
So now it's the question of yeah, it does this.
The cat does this job. He keeps ther critters away.
So just say, hey, tell you what you saw the cat.
You knew it was here. Uh, and you didn't charge,
(25:41):
so let's split it. I'll pay you two fifty. Just
get practical with it, that's all, and you're gonna be fine.
Speaker 10 (25:49):
All right, all right.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
You got to see, sometimes the law is you just
have to sort of ignore the law and what people
can do and can't do, and just get practical about it.
You know, let's just sit down and work this out.
And that is usually usually that works like ninety percent
of the time. Now, what happens if you are in
a car accident and you're rear ended or you're t boned,
(26:13):
and you're injured and it's not your fault, what do
you do, Well, you've got a case, is what you do.
And so you generally want to get a lawyer, almost always,
especially if you've been injured. So why is that, Well,
because you're dealing with an insurance company on the other side,
and these people are experts and not paying you don't
negotiate with you all day long, but you don't have
(26:34):
much ammunition because you're out of your wheelhouse.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
So let me suggest hiring a lawyer.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
And you've heard and seen ads for personal injury lawyers
all over the place.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
How do you know which ones are good? Who do
you trust? Well?
Speaker 3 (26:45):
This is why I created handle on the Law dot com.
These are lawyers that are part of handle on the
Law dot Com who obviously help people represent people. No
money upfront, by the way, you don't pay. They take
a percentage of what the settlement is. They are vetted.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
If there's a problem, I make the phone call.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
You can call eight eight eight eight eight eight eight
six six eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight
six six eight Handle on the Law dot com. This
is Handle on the Law.
Speaker 7 (27:13):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KF I
am six forty.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Janis. What can I do for you?
Speaker 10 (27:23):
I'm handle Yes about yes.
Speaker 9 (27:26):
About seven years ago my family met with an attorney
in the state of Texas. We have in a state
that my grandmother and my great grandmother left us, and
we hired this attorney. It's about two tracks. I guess
it's about six hundred acres. UH there's a couple of ureachs.
(27:47):
I think one of them's working, and a couple of
them is in active. Okay, so this attorney hasn't done anything.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Okay, what did you hire the attorney? What did you
hire the attorney for?
Speaker 8 (27:59):
Two?
Speaker 9 (28:00):
Open up the family estate?
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Okay? Why? And I don't know what that means? Open
up the family estate.
Speaker 9 (28:07):
Well, everything had to go into ten chiblings.
Speaker 10 (28:11):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
So you're talking about distributing the money, the assets, the property.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Is that correct?
Speaker 6 (28:16):
That's correct?
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Okay, And so the attorney didn't do it. So what's
happening with the property now?
Speaker 10 (28:21):
Well, the property is still there.
Speaker 9 (28:25):
We've reached out in the state well, in the state
of Ohio. My sister took the contract I mean yeah,
the contract from our old attorney, and he looked over
it and he saw in there in the contract that
my family had signed in the state of Texas, and
he said that he has power of attorneys over a
(28:46):
whole generation.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
This little okay hang on this one is yeah, this
one's a little bit too complicated because you're talking about
the attorney holding power of attorney, power of attorney as
the attorney has the attorney shown you the document that
he has power of attorney you can sign off, and
what has he done with his power of attorney? Okay,
(29:11):
all right, and so you have to find out, you know,
time it's this is probably too complicated at this point
to deal with this is okay, So and we don't
have time for this, and I don't have patience for
this because I'm already bored with it. Yes, exactly, excellent,
So we're on the same page. You have to you
have to get another lawyer. You've got to get another
lawyer to jump in on this because it sounds pretty complicated,
(29:31):
and it sounds and you're talking about mineral rights and
oil rights, and oil is through the roof the value
of oil right now. So whatever money is there, there's
a lot more than there was a month ago. So
you've got to get another attorney to jump in on it.
There's there's no way around it, unfortunately.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
Let me talk to you about privacy that you need
some help with also, because you have no privacy, I
mean zero, especially online.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
You think your life is private.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Everything about you is online, your home address, where you work,
where you bank, what you buy, where you buy it.
Court wreckers, accident history, your DMV information, your credit score.
I mean, I could go on forever. It's all out there.
It's easy to find. And it gets even worse than that,
because not only is it out there and easy to find,
it is collected by hundreds of data brokers and then
(30:23):
they sell it to anybody who wants it, even the
bad guys. And there goes your privacy and there it
comes in your vulnerability. Incognit is a company that comes
into play and basically protects you. What Incognate does is
contact hundreds of these data brokers and legally demand your
information be deleted.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
And that's what happens. That's what Incognate does.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
And I'm a customer obviously, and before the show, every show,
I log onto my incognitive account and I see it
right there. Hundreds of removal requests have been completed, hundreds
more are in progress and scheduled, and it's all there,
and you can log on five times a day if
you want. That's in Cognate sixty percent off when you

Speaker 1 (31:21):
You've been listening to the Bill Handle Show. Catch my
show Monday through Friday, six am to nine am, and
anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app
You're listenings kmp I AM six forty. The bill handles
show on demand on the iHeartRadio f This is handle
on the law marginal legal advice, where I tell you
have absolutely no case. New York has a mayor Zoron Mamdami,
(00:21):
who is considers himself was elected and believes he is
a democratic socialist.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Now is he a real socialist?
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Now, not particularly, but pretty left wing, I mean, pretty progressive.
And he is also a Muslim. And one of the
things that he is is a big fan of the Palestinians,
as you would expect, and not a big fan of Israel.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
As you would expect.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
And so today it's getting easier and easier politically to
be anti Israel considering what's going on in the Mid
East and Gaza. So there are some legs there, but
you can a little bit too far, and Mamdani Mandani
has gone a little bit too far. Benjamin Natanyahu, who
(01:07):
is the Prime Minister of Israel, is considered an enemy
for many Muslims, considered a also not so much a dictator,
but considered a war criminal actually for the bombing that
happened in Gaza. And there's some argument I want to
go into both sides, because they both sides have a case.
(01:28):
But the point is that Benjamin Netanyah, who is hated
particularly by those who are of Arabis scent or a
Muslim or pro the pro Palestinian cause. And he's right
there at the top of the list. So he is
the mayor, and he said that he will arrest Prime
(01:50):
Minister Benjamin net Nyahu when Yahu comes to New York
City to address the UN And you wonder, wait a minute,
there is he's going to arrest him. Now, there is
a warrant out there internationally for netanya who's and by
the way, very difficult. People don't get aheads of state,
(02:12):
don't get arrested. But the point is you've got a
city mayor, and he has said when Netanyaho, if Netanyah
who comes to New York City, which you will, he said, quote,
my administration has reviewed every avenue available under applicable law
to determine whether New York City could execute the International
(02:32):
Criminal Court's arrest warrant.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
If Netagna who came here.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Now, Oh, and the federal government, however, does have jurisdiction,
and I call on them to join the ICC and
execute this warrant. Notice what he said, I call on
them to join the ICC because of there's a couple
of countries in the world that don't belong to the
International Criminal Court, the United States being one of them.
(03:00):
The US is not part of that treaty. So this
is what Mandami is asking, is that the US, who
does not recognize the court, recognize the warrant to arrest
someone on the basis of some jurisdiction that doesn't apply,
(03:22):
that doesn't exist. And then he came back and said, yeah, okay,
maybe I don't have the right to arrest him, but
I sure want to a political move. I love these politicians,
you know, why don't you do something serious as opposed
to this babbel. And it's not just him, it's Mayor's
like crazy. Here in Los Angeles, we have a mayor
(03:43):
Karen Bass, who does basically the same thing, talks about
things he has no jurisdiction but talking about or no
business talking about. And you have congress people, and you
have senators, and you have state senators and county supervisors.
I mean, you know, it's just it's a weird time.
That is Okay, let's go ahead and take some phone calls.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Phil, You've been around for a bit. What can I
do for you? Phil?
Speaker 4 (04:06):
I got some really bad news year in March. Yes,
I hit a woman, Oh bad her? Well, well, what happened.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
Was just now.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
I got a letter from my insurance And first off,
it says, okay, she's asking she's got a listen here,
she has a lawyer, and she's asking six hundred and
five thousand dollars okay. And she says original pain and
(04:42):
suffering and forty four Yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Know they go through.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
I'm surprised she's not asking for six million. Guy, that's
what people do. I mean, that doesn't mean a whole lot.
But okay, So she's asking for a pile of money
from you, and your insurance company is telling you this.
Speaker 6 (04:56):
Okay, okay, let me tell you.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
It says the insurance company says, your bodily injury coverage
is limited to fifty thousand okay a person, Yeah, and
one hundred thousand per occurrence for bodily injury.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
What's that mean exactly?
Speaker 3 (05:12):
That means that all they're going to pay is fifty
thousand dollars out if it's your fault and you've injured
someone they're saying, we're covering you for fifty grand. That's it.
After that, it's up to you. That's what that means.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
Oh god, no, But.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Don't worry about it.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Let me tell you, unless she is horrifically injured, in
the vast majority of cases, her lawyer and her will
settle for the fifty thousand dollars. Because if she then
goes after you, first of all, they have to do
an asset search. How much money do you have? What
do you have put away? Are you working? How much
do you earn? Let's look at your finances because that's
(05:49):
where all this is. Do you have a couple of
hundred thousand dollars? Do you have a couple hundred thousand
dollars hanging around?
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Okay, well then you know it's time for you are
going to have to get a lawyer because you're going
to get sued. I mean, he's not going to the
insurance company's going to write out a check for fifty
thousand dollars. Okay, there you go, And now what Now
you've got a you've been you're getting sued, and there
is a case and you have no insurance other than
(06:16):
the fifty thousand dollars that's already been paid. So now
there becomes a court battle and you get an attorney
and you fight it.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Okay, they said, the insurance comp so we will do
our best to settle the case.
Speaker 6 (06:27):
Exactly what you're going to.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Do, yea, that's what they're going to do. They're going
to settle or try to settle. And as they said,
unless you have a good chunk of money that's easily
ascertainable that they can get hold of, they'll probably settle. Now, realistically,
does she have six hundred thousand dollars worth of damage?
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Worth of injury?
Speaker 6 (06:47):
How banged she? Oh?
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Okay, I'm asking a question. What do you think?
Speaker 4 (06:51):
No, she's up to seven?
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Yeah, I don't care what she says. No, No, I don't
care how badly was she injured? I mean, she's going
to ask for ten million dollars for a soft tissue injury,
right if she has a stubtarge. She doesn't asked for
a million dollars. How do you have any idea how
injured she was?
Speaker 4 (07:08):
It's is initial pain and suffering resional compensation.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Yeah, I don't care how injured.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Let me ask you what surgeries do you happen to
know how injured she was, surgeries, broken bones, amputations, organs being.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
Just going by the hour what they've spent on her.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Hey, that doesn't matter either. That doesn't matter. Any broken bones,
any surgery. Do you have any idea?
Speaker 4 (07:33):
No, they don't mention anything.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Okay, Well, it all's predicated on how badly injured she is.
The fact that she's asking all of this means nothing.
You can ask for the moon and her lawyer is
going to ask for a million dollars, ten million dollars,
one hundred million dollars.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
I mean, there are soft tissue injuries where people have
a rear ender and oh my neck, oh good, and
you go to a chiropractor and oh man, it's really
not helping, and and I want a million dollars. Happens
all the time. So you know, you have to let
it play out. You have to let it play out.
It's that simple.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
So my insurance company will let me know.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Oh yeah, yeah, your insurance come to let you know
all of it, all of it.
Speaker 6 (08:15):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Now, oh talking about well what a segue into talking
about handle on the law dot com. Because people get sued,
You get sued you have been injured, for example, in
a car accident and not your fault. Okay, So with
that being said, what do you do now? All you
can do is get money, nothing else. So you want
(08:38):
to get the most you can get based on your injuries.
So there you go, not at fault. You've been injured
car accidents, slip and fall and so what do you.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Do, Well, you hire a lawyer.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
You don't pay for the lawyer because the lawyer only
takes a percentage of what the case is settled for.
But you need a good lawyer. And this is why
handle on the Law dot Com came into being. Handle
on the Law dot com is I created it because
there are a lot of lawyers out there advertising like crazy.
You're aware of it. Some are good, some are excellent,
some not so good. So how do you know? Well,
(09:10):
here we go Handle on the Law dot com. Lawyers
who are vetted lawyers. If there's a problem, I make
the phone call, and lawyers who know exactly what they're
doing called eight eight eight eight eight eight eight six
six eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight six
six eight Handle on the law dot com. This is
Handle on the Law.
Speaker 7 (09:30):
You're listening to Bill handle on Demand from KF. I
am six forty.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Welcome back, more handle on the law, marginal legal advice.
Uh okay, hey Susan, let's try you.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
What can I do for you?
Speaker 8 (09:49):
Hi, Bill, thanks for taking my call. Sure, I am.
I had I had a pair of beautiful designer glasses
and I wanted the lenses replaced because I have a
new prescription. And it took me quite a while to
find someone that would be able to do that. And
so I took my glasses in and talked to the doctor.
(10:14):
He said, I could do this. I have to send
them to the last and the order to the lab.
It'll take about seven to ten days. And when they
come back, well i'll do this. I'll put them, take
them in my little lab in the back, and i'll
show them down depend into your glasses. So I said, okay, fine,
I paid him. Ten days happened, no glasses. I called, Oh,
(10:37):
well the latt had some problems. Okay, well we'll get them.
We'll get them probably in a couple of days. Well
that went on and on and on, and every time
it was we had to resubmit the order, and so
I finally I finally called him and I said, you know,
it's been twenty five days, and I decided that I
(10:59):
want to cancel the order and I want my money back.
And the answer was, okay, come in and bring in
your credit card and we'll do it. So I said, well,
I can't come in the next next fifteen minutes because
you're going to be closed and I can't get there
in time. So it came the next day. I walk
in and she says, oh, guess what. Your lensis came
(11:21):
in yesterday, but the machine that the doctor needs to
use is broken and we need to get a new part.
Well today, it's been one week.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Okay, my classes got it. So what's your question?
Speaker 8 (11:36):
My question is, is there is there any possibility that
I can do something to get my money back?
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Sure, you say, you say I want my money back.
Do they have your Do they have your frames?
Speaker 8 (11:48):
My frame? He has my frames now and he has
the lenses.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Okay, So you so what you do is used to
a small claims court for the lenses and the frame
all the money you paid them, and you also ask
for your frames back.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
That's all you go. You call him up.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
I don't want my frames back unless they plan on
holding your frames and they're going to extort you. It's
real simple. You say, hey, you're not doing what you
promised to do, and it's not my problem that your
machine is broken. I'm going to take it to another place.
Speaker 9 (12:21):
Now.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
If he's the only doctor who can do this, if
he's the only autometriss, then you have to just suck
it up and live with it and just call him
every day or you or you don't get glasses back.
Speaker 8 (12:33):
I mean, what are you Well, yeah, okay, so he's
the only one that will be able to do this,
she said, okay, well.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Okay, then you either do it with him and you
call him every single day and harass him and go, hey,
I can't see I'm falling down.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
I'm you know, I can't drive.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Look what you're doing to me, and just go on
and on and on and say, either you finish it
up or give me my glasses back, and you're just
not going to be able to do it. I mean,
he's got you between a rock and a hard place.
Not that he's extorting you, it's that there's nobody else there.
And so it's so the ballgames in his court, or
(13:13):
the balls in the court is in this ballgame so yeah,
that's the problem. He's the only one. So there's the answer. Okay, Jerry,
you're a pillow. Jerry, welcome to handle all the law.
Speaker 6 (13:24):
Yes, I was working as a data analyst up in Rono, Virginia,
back in twenty nineteen. I started working there that in
October thirty, first Halloween night. Well, in the afternoon, I
drank a what do they call that coke zero? Can
(13:50):
of coke zero, And as the afternoon progress, I started feeling,
we can get in this pain in my chest and
then they got really bad that I couldn't concentrate. So
I told my boss I was leaving to go to
the urgent care. I got down there and they took
(14:14):
my blood pressure and they told me that you're about
to have a heart attack. You had to get back
to the hospital now.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
So they worked me over by ambulanced the hospital and
they started pumping me with that nicroglycerin pills to keep
my blood pressure down.
Speaker 6 (14:38):
And that's skyrocket all the way up.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
The all tell me what happened.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
I don't need a whole medical background on this, Okay.
So you're at the hospital and tell people, so what
happened to you?
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Okay?
Speaker 10 (14:49):
You.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Obviously you didn't die. No good, that's a help.
Speaker 6 (14:55):
So the next day the doctor said, hearts and good condition.
We don't know why you didn't have a heart attack,
but your heart is in perfect condition. That's very important
because a year later I get rushed to where I
was working at and at the hospital, and they got
(15:19):
me back up my feet a couple of days later.
I didn't think too much of it. Well, I got
rushed back again. I saw having the fluid built up
my lungs, and the next day the er doctor came
in told me, hey, when you were here last week,
(15:42):
they misdiagnosed you.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Okay, get to the.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Bottom line here. I don't want to know what you
had for dinner. I don't know what time you went
to the bathroom. Okay, so they misdiagnosed you. You didn't
have a heart attack. You thought you did. H and
so you went three times to the r in the
hospital and drink cozine zero disgusting.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
You should also they took me off alquist.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
I don't care. I don't care. That's what the doctor does.
So what happened? What happened? What's your question?
Speaker 6 (16:10):
So I developed this brain fog and became very weak,
all right, and they fired me because I wasn't keeping
up with.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
The Okay, got it? All right, see where I'm going,
Yeah I do. And it took you ten minutes to
get there. Yeah, I got it.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
So you're fired, you don't have a job, and there
you go, and you're arguing to medical malpractice.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
It happened October of What did you wat?
Speaker 6 (16:35):
I can't file. I can't well, I knew I had
a problem back then.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
But I don't care. Why did you wait? Why did
you wait seven years? That's a good question, That is
the question. Yeah, well, let me tell you something. Yeah,
that's it. Yeah, that's it, Thank you all.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
The other question is this happened in twenty in twenty nineteen,

phone calls. Now, let me talk to you if you've
been injured in an accident. No, no, let me know.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
This's do the other way. Let me do the other one,
and I'll tell you about incognate.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
If you think that you have privacy online for some
crazy reason, you believe you have privacy, man, that just
doesn't exist, not even close your home, address, where you work,
where you bake, what you buy, where you buy it,
court records, accident history, DMV information, credit score, I mean
all of it. You are up there for the world
to see. And let me tell you, it gets even
(17:38):
worse than that because data brokers know that you're up
there and they collect that information. Hundreds of data brokers
do that and then they sell it to anyone who
wants to buy it, your information, even the bad guys.
You think you have privacy right, let me tell you
about Incognate. This is a company that actually comes and
invites back. What they do for you is they contact
(17:59):
hundreds of these data brokers and legally demand your information
be deleted. And that has to be that's the law.
And when new brokers pop up and Cogniti deals with them.
Two and now I'm a huge fan. Why because while
I'm a customer in before the show, every show, I
log onto my Incognitia account and there they are right
there for me to see. Hundreds of removal requests have
(18:19):
been completed, hundreds more are in progress and are scheduled.
I can check every day in Cogni get sixty percent
off when you use my name handle I n cog

Speaker 7 (18:39):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Welcome back more Handle on the lot boy, those marshmallows.
You're good.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Handle on the Law. Okay, Lucy, let's go to you. Hello, Lucy, welcome, Hi.
Speaker 10 (18:56):
Bill, Thank you sure. So I have a question. So
about six months ago I got a restrain in order
against my neighbor for threatening me. Was all awarded. Everything
was good. About a month ago, his wife and I
got into a disagreement and I called the police and
she called the police, and next day I know she
(19:18):
tried to get a tro against me. It wasn't awarded,
and then she long story short, my husband got a
tro against her. So now because he has one against her,
I was in court with him trying and I found
out my name was on one. So I had no
idea she was trying to get one against me until then.
So there was no service for me for four weeks
(19:41):
and then they attempted to serve me. I haven't been
served at all, and she has an attorney. And my
question is, well, first of all, there's no merrit to
her case against me. Do I need to get an attorney?
Speaker 2 (19:52):
I know?
Speaker 3 (19:52):
And by the way, what is the restraining order to
ask that you stay away from her within fifty yards
one hundred yard?
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Or do you have any idea what she's asking for?
Speaker 10 (20:03):
Yeah, because I saw it. I went to court and okay,
I haven't been sorry, but I saw it. She's saying
that I harassed her and I need to stay away
from her.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Okay, I don't care about why. But what is she
asking for? What is she asking for away from.
Speaker 10 (20:17):
Her restraining order for me to stay away from her?
Speaker 2 (20:20):
And why would you not want to stay away from her?
Speaker 10 (20:22):
I do want to stay away from her. But what
she's saying is I harassed her.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
It doesn't matter. I don't care. I don't care what
she says.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
She can say you're out there, you know, killing your
pet dogs, It doesn't matter, or killing her pet dogs.
You have a restraining order against her? Stay away? She
has restraining against yeah, okay, you have one against the husband,
she has one against you. Everybody has restraining orders against
everyone else. And what's the bottom line. The restraining order says,
(20:49):
don't get near each other. And it doesn't matter who's filed.
It doesn't matter what has merrit, what doesn't have merit.
The bottom line is why would you need an attorney?
What are you going to fight?
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Are you going to say her straining order is no good?
Stay away from her?
Speaker 6 (21:04):
Good?
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (21:05):
Well Bill, okay, I've stayed away from her.
Speaker 6 (21:09):
Then you'll find I have a clearance.
Speaker 10 (21:10):
I don't want this on my record.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
I don't want a record.
Speaker 10 (21:12):
No, excuse me?
Speaker 2 (21:13):
What record? What record? What do you think is going
to happen?
Speaker 10 (21:16):
I have a security clearance?
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Then you okay.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Now you have to find out wherever you're working is
a restraining order? Uh? Does it affect your security clearance?
I don't know. And if it does affect your seclear
security clearance, then you have to go to court.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Then you have to have it removed.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
But if it doesn't, I don't care if my neighbor
has a security you know, I don't care if my
neighbor has a restraining order against me. I don't want
to touch my neighbor anyway. I don't want to get
near my name, don't.
Speaker 10 (21:46):
Yeah, I don't want to get near. But if she
has one, is my question?
Speaker 3 (21:50):
No, unless unless your security clearance is at risk by
having a security by having a restraining order against you.
I don't know the answer to that. I have no idea.
Is that a federal clearance?
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Is it? Are you a secret FBI agent? Okay?
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Then you have to find out from your employer if
I have a restraining order against me.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Here's the question that you would ask.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
If I have a restraining order against me and it
is fraudulent or it is it's not good, it's based
on information that's not true, will it affect my security clearance?
And if the answer is no, people file restraining orders
all day long to stay away from her, then leave
it alone. Now, if it does and your job is
(22:37):
in jeopardy, oh boy, then you have to Then you
have to hire a lawyer to get rid of it.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
There's no question, unfortunately.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
And then you fire her. You assue her for the
same thing, you know, arguing your your legal fees. Okay,
that's what you do, by the way, real quickly, what
do you do for a living?
Speaker 10 (22:56):
I work for the government.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Well, that's usually too. What do you do for I
tell you? Oh, okay, let's get general about it.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Okay, to the point where you can tell me you
work for the federal government and your security?
Speaker 6 (23:13):
Are you in?
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Could you be a spy? For example?
Speaker 10 (23:17):
Would you No? I would tell you anyway.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Okay, all right, Well what is your position? Can I
ask that administrative? Okay?
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Okay, Well it's enough. You know I'm not going to
go any place with you. I got it anyway, Lucy,
good luck, enjoy yourself, hate your neighbor, all right, Michael, Hello, Michael, welcome.
Speaker 11 (23:38):
Yeah, Hi Bill. Well, I'm in benich Arizona. I'm a renter,
right and I get inspected by my landlord multiple times
a year, about three or four. I've been here for
six years. I have a pet. It's not been declared
to the landlord, but during the inspections for about three
four years, they have never mentioned anything about it. The
(24:00):
pet's been invisible sight. You see where I'm going with this.
All of a sudden, now they want to include the
pet in as a penalty or a nondeclared pat And
you want to charge me a pee? Do I have
any stands?
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Okay, hang on a minute. Undeclared pet?
Speaker 3 (24:16):
So you didn't tell me you had to pet when
you did have a pet you moved in with your
I assume it's a cat, right, or it's a dog
or what is it a cow?
Speaker 8 (24:23):
A cat?
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Okay, so now you have a cat. You didn't tell
me how a cat. Are they allowed to charge you
extra for having a pet?
Speaker 2 (24:32):
They are.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
I don't know what the lease says, but certainly they're
allowed to do that. And landlords all over the place
charge extra money bringing in a cat and probably increase
the cleaning fees at the end of the lease. So
can they charge you? Yeah, they probably can. They probably can.
How much do they want to charge you, Michael? Five
(24:55):
dred bucks and they just keep the five hundred dollars.
It's not a deposit as against.
Speaker 11 (25:01):
Right, Okay, buddy, how much do you pay the pet deposit?
Speaker 6 (25:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Oh okay, if they're only willing to do that, how much?
How much do you like your pet? This cat? How
close are you your cat?
Speaker 11 (25:10):
Oh? Yeah, she does her job, no critters around the house.
She's she's very very Okay.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
So if I tell you to kill the cat or
give it away, that's not going to work. Okay, fair enough, Yeah, negotiate, negotiate,
I mean, can they do that? Probably? What happens to
you say, no, are they are going to evict you?
So now it's the question of yeah, it does this.
The cat does this job. He keeps ther critters away.
So just say, hey, tell you what you saw the cat.
You knew it was here. Uh, and you didn't charge,
(25:41):
so let's split it. I'll pay you two fifty. Just
get practical with it, that's all, and you're gonna be fine.
Speaker 10 (25:49):
All right, all right.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
You got to see, sometimes the law is you just
have to sort of ignore the law and what people
can do and can't do, and just get practical about it.
You know, let's just sit down and work this out.
And that is usually usually that works like ninety percent
of the time. Now, what happens if you are in
a car accident and you're rear ended or you're t boned,
(26:13):
and you're injured and it's not your fault, what do
you do, Well, you've got a case, is what you do.
And so you generally want to get a lawyer, almost always,
especially if you've been injured. So why is that, Well,
because you're dealing with an insurance company on the other side,
and these people are experts and not paying you don't
negotiate with you all day long, but you don't have
(26:34):
much ammunition because you're out of your wheelhouse.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
So let me suggest hiring a lawyer.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
And you've heard and seen ads for personal injury lawyers
all over the place.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
How do you know which ones are good? Who do
you trust? Well?
Speaker 3 (26:45):
This is why I created handle on the Law dot com.
These are lawyers that are part of handle on the
Law dot Com who obviously help people represent people. No
money upfront, by the way, you don't pay. They take

is Handle on the Law.
Speaker 7 (27:13):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KF I
am six forty.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Janis. What can I do for you?
Speaker 10 (27:23):
I'm handle Yes about yes.
Speaker 9 (27:26):
About seven years ago my family met with an attorney
in the state of Texas. We have in a state
that my grandmother and my great grandmother left us, and
we hired this attorney. It's about two tracks. I guess
it's about six hundred acres. UH there's a couple of ureachs.
(27:47):
I think one of them's working, and a couple of
them is in active. Okay, so this attorney hasn't done anything.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Okay, what did you hire the attorney? What did you
hire the attorney for?
Speaker 8 (27:59):
Two?
Speaker 9 (28:00):
Open up the family estate?
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Okay? Why? And I don't know what that means? Open
up the family estate.
Speaker 9 (28:07):
Well, everything had to go into ten chiblings.
Speaker 10 (28:11):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
So you're talking about distributing the money, the assets, the property.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Is that correct?
Speaker 6 (28:16):
That's correct?
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Okay, And so the attorney didn't do it. So what's
happening with the property now?
Speaker 10 (28:21):
Well, the property is still there.
Speaker 9 (28:25):
We've reached out in the state well, in the state
of Ohio. My sister took the contract I mean yeah,
the contract from our old attorney, and he looked over
it and he saw in there in the contract that
my family had signed in the state of Texas, and
he said that he has power of attorneys over a
(28:46):
whole generation.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
This little okay hang on this one is yeah, this
one's a little bit too complicated because you're talking about
the attorney holding power of attorney, power of attorney as
the attorney has the attorney shown you the document that
he has power of attorney you can sign off, and
what has he done with his power of attorney? Okay,
(29:11):
all right, and so you have to find out, you know,
time it's this is probably too complicated at this point
to deal with this is okay, So and we don't
have time for this, and I don't have patience for
this because I'm already bored with it. Yes, exactly, excellent,
So we're on the same page. You have to you
have to get another lawyer. You've got to get another
lawyer to jump in on this because it sounds pretty complicated,
(29:31):
and it sounds and you're talking about mineral rights and
oil rights, and oil is through the roof the value
of oil right now. So whatever money is there, there's
a lot more than there was a month ago. So
you've got to get another attorney to jump in on it.
There's there's no way around it, unfortunately.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
Let me talk to you about privacy that you need
some help with also, because you have no privacy, I
mean zero, especially online.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
You think your life is private.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Everything about you is online, your home address, where you work,
where you bank, what you buy, where you buy it.
Court wreckers, accident history, your DMV information, your credit score.
I mean, I could go on forever. It's all out there.
It's easy to find. And it gets even worse than that,
because not only is it out there and easy to find,
it is collected by hundreds of data brokers and then
(30:23):
they sell it to anybody who wants it, even the
bad guys. And there goes your privacy and there it
comes in your vulnerability. Incognit is a company that comes
into play and basically protects you. What Incognate does is
contact hundreds of these data brokers and legally demand your
information be deleted.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
And that's what happens. That's what Incognate does.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
And I'm a customer obviously, and before the show, every show,
I log onto my incognitive account and I see it
right there. Hundreds of removal requests have been completed, hundreds
more are in progress and scheduled, and it's all there,
