Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listenings kp 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. Now when you read a post
on social media. By now, everybody knows that celebrities and
(00:24):
people influencers get paid get paid. If we're being told
a certain brand of shampoo is terrific and wonderful, a
good chance that that person is getting paid to say that.
It's sort of a given. And the more influential, the
bigger the star power, the more money that they get.
(00:45):
And as a matter of fact, I mean there are
people out there that get you can get one hundred
thousand dollars per post. I mean, it's really scary stuff
for sure. So let me tell you what Sacramento just
did and it passed the law, and what it said
is if you go and you post something political and
(01:05):
you are paid for it, you absolutely must disclose that. Now,
do you disclose when you are paid to talk about
a restaurant? You should, But I don't think the law
says that you must disclose that. But when it comes
to politics, oh you bet you Why? Because politics are
(01:25):
far more important than you buying one brand of shampoo
or another, because that doesn't affect me. You know, whatever
product you buy, I couldn't care less doesn't affect me
in the least. Moving the political needle, oh yeah, that
affects me big time because we are all affected by politics.
(01:46):
So what you're going to see in California, we're one
of two states along with Texas. Interestingly enough, that have
passed these policies requiring content creators to say if they
have been paid by a political campaign, and beyond that,
California is considering it hasn't done so yet, cracking down
(02:08):
by finding people who don't if someone has been paid
and does not say, by the way, I'm paid for
this campaign, that campaign, even a political action committee. I
think that you may get away with. But celebrities major
influencers are going to have to disclose. And campaigns have
(02:30):
long worked with the celebrities and major influencers to win
over voters. Usually you think of political political statements as gee,
that's just the way I think, because the politics are
crazy today, as you know, my god, they're crazy, and
so you think people are just giving their opinion and
ripping into what the Biden administration is doing, or what
(02:51):
was doing, what the Trump administration is doing, what a
congress person has said done taking a position on now,
and good for them, because I want to know, I
really do want to know, because do I pay attention
to influencers? Well I don't. I mean I don't pay
attention to anybody on the internet, but a lot of
people do, and I mean big time. Okay, let's go
(03:15):
ahead and take some phone calls. Let's start with will
be doing the icon over here, Luis or Lewis welcome, Hi, Bill, Yes, sir, morning, Yes, sirs, Bill.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
I have a.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Question for you.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Okay. I have a friend, okay who works as an
independent contractor. He was not paid for a job by
another independent contractor.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
He went to the labor board.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
He got a judgment against a person who did not
pay him, but that person has not paid him in
a year and a half even so can he do
a civil.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Because it's he's already yeah, he can. But he's already
got a judgment by the labor board, which actually is
far stronger than a civil judgment. So he has all
the ammunition he needs to go collect. So all he
has to do now is collect. And that's no joke
collecting what is? Well, let me give you the legal
(04:19):
premise here. There is a very long line of cases
dealing with that, and all of them boiled down to
your friend isn't going to see a dime because if
it turns out that he has evaded so far, although
I don't know if your friend's tried to collect, has
your friend tried to collect on it? Or just saying oh,
can I assume himivilly? Which which way are they going
on this?
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Lewis No, he has not the guy he got the
judgment from the labor board. Okay, and and and the
guy has not paid it down.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Okay, it's not Okay, it's not. It's not a judgment.
It is an order from the labor board ordering him
to pay much much stronger than a civil judgment. And
so he simply has to collect on that. And you
get to see the rules. You can garnish wages. If
he has a business, you can get the business up
much better. Office if he's working for someone where he
(05:11):
is an employee, because then you can go to the
employer and slap the order down and the employer must
take money out of his paycheck. But then again, he's
an independent contractor and not working for anybody. So how
much is how much is the amount that's owed?
Speaker 4 (05:29):
Do you know twenty thousand dollars?
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Well, first of all small claims, only twelve thousand, five hundred,
so he would have to give.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
Up the rest.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
So you don't him. Well, there already is a lean
against him, and now it's a question and going against
his business. It's it's tough. It is tough. What he
should do is go online and say, just ask the question,
how I'll never collect against judgments? How it is impossible
(05:57):
to collect. How you're never going to be a dime?
That's what I would. Yeah, I know it's so depressing,
isn't it. That's just the way it works. Hey, I'll
tell you how you can get paid if you're in
a car accident and you've been injured or slip and
fall and you've been injured and it's not your fault,
it's going to be an insurance company that's going to
(06:17):
talk to you and you are going to get paid. Now,
it's only about money. There's not much else you can do.
And so how do you collect the most amount of money?
Are you going to talk to the insurance company we're
talking about the other side. Are you going to talk
to the insurance company yourself? These guys are experts in
not paying you. That's what they do for a living.
So how do you help yourself and get the max
(06:38):
that you need or more importantly, you deserve. Well, it's
a lawyer. I mean that's the bottom line. Now, you
don't pay for the lawyer. Not in the case of
personal injury. They simply take a percentage of what it's collected,
a percentage of what is settled for. And if there's
no money picked up, then there's no money at all.
So you're not out of dime. And so where do
(06:58):
you go? Well, let me suggest handle on the Law
dot Com. I created handle on the Law dot com
to make sure you get the right lawyer. A lot
of advertisers lawyer out there, a lot of lawyer's advertise
out there. I mean, just listen to the show, look
at a billboard on the freeway. So handle on the
Law dot Com provides these lawyers who are vetted. And
if there's a problem, I make the phone call. So
call a D eight eight a D eight eight eight
(07:20):
sixty six eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight
sixty six eight. If you have been injured and it's
not your fault, it's handle on the Law dot com.
This is handle on the Law.
Speaker 7 (07:32):
You're listening to Bill handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Welcome back. More legal advice. This is handle on the
Law marginal legal advice or I tell you you have
absolutely no case. All right, diego, yo, diego? What can
I do for you? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Bill, So I'm calling for our friend. He pulled over
to the side of the road to you his phone,
did the responsible thing. While he was using his phone,
a woman hit him, broke his femur.
Speaker 6 (08:07):
Hmm.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
He didn't even see it coming. She hit him, broke
his femur. He nearly died. He had to learn how
to walk. Took him a year. And now she's in hiding.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Okay, uh and they can't find her. Well, I'm assuming
it was a hit and run. So the police were called? Correct,
and yeah.
Speaker 6 (08:24):
The police came. Okay, she got out of the car,
she was fine.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Okay. Did they get a driver's license or sorry? Did
they get a license plate? Was able to get that?
Speaker 6 (08:33):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Okay, good, So they're tracking her down all right, So
there's a worn out for her arrest. Okay, that's for starters.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Now there's not bill, there's not there's not a worn
out for her arrest.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Okay. That's interesting if they know who she is and
they're not out to get her. I mean, this is
a felony, major injury. You're talking about a hit and
run with major boy. That's kind of that's kind of rough.
But it doesn't change anything, by the way, in terms
of him. Now we're talking about he may want to
have her put in jail just for the joys of
(09:03):
putting her in jail for what she did to him.
Now let's talk about money in reality, all all, your
friend's gonna get his money, I mean, put it in
here in jail, doesn't put any money in his pocket
and get.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
He hasn't got a penny obviously, because he tried to
track down her bank account some way and then they sold.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Okay, so he knows who she is. Oh yeah, he's okay,
Oh yeah, So there's a warm out. They'll pick her up.
They'll pick her up at some point. They always do
because there will be a traffic violation out there. But
that's beside the point. Okay. So it looks like she
doesn't have a dime. So now comes the big question.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
The thing is, she found out that she did have
a really good job and she did take out a
good chunk of money.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Okay, so she's she's impossible to find. And uh, now
we go to your insurance. He goes to his insurance company.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
He didn't have insurance.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
But he didn't have insurance. Okay, so now what I
want him to do? Okay, this this is the answer.
You can go on the internet and look up the
acronym s l O Okay, because that is exactly where
he sits. And this is a very good lesson on
(10:16):
why doesn't he have insurance? Do we know why? He
doesn't have to.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Save a few bucks here and there to get back
to that's it. But I know what you're saying though,
Yeah that's insured.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Yeah you've got to have you you have to have insurance.
That's all there is to it. And you know, I
have a healthy policy. So I have a policy enough
where if people knew if I had a kindergartener, for example,
and I knew where I if I knew where I lived,
I would have my kindergarten walk in front of the
car every single time. You know to a crosswalk and
(10:49):
there'll be some serious money there.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
See.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
That's that happens all the time. I tell you over
and over again. Buy insurance because and part of insurance,
not just liability and insurance which is thirty sixty thirty
thousand minimum sixty thousand dollars for any group of cases.
Let's say you're hitting three people in a car. Well,
it's sixty thousand dollars split among all of them. But
(11:14):
if you don't have insurance, you're not going to get
a dime. You have to assume the other side doesn't
have insurance. You have to make that assumption. Frank, Hello, Frank, welcome.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
Yes, Hello, Yes, I'm here. Okay. So I signed a
flat seat agreement with the lawyer for Dnastic by case
of that, all right, I never paid I never paid
the fee. Yeah, twelve twelve hours after I signed, I
decided I did not want to use him. It was okay,
(11:45):
change my mind. Okay. So later on that evening he
sent me a bill for four thousand dollars. Aha, seeing that.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Okay, they say, you signed, you signed, you signed a
retainer agreement and he owes you four thousand dollars. Where
you owe him four thousand, because that was the what
the I guess down payment is the closest thing you
would call it. It's money goes into his trust account
as against hourly that he pays unless it's a flat fee.
Speaker 6 (12:10):
But it was a flash fee agreement.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Wait, well, here's what you do, Okay, I don't think
you owe the money, Frank, I don't think you owe
the money. You tell him, no, thank you, I am
not paying you not you did what did you do
in twelve hours? And he is going to have to
justify four thousand dollars worth of work in twelve hours.
He'll never be able to justify that. So what you do?
(12:38):
You simply tell him to go pound sand legal term
pound sand and if he sues you, you've got a
hell of defense. And if he sues you, you take
him to the state bar. I mean instantly. Yeah, absolutely,
he can't do that. You can't build someone for no
time spent. He's got to return the money. Now. He
might be able to say I looked at the file
(12:59):
or I started a file and you I can charge
you for an hour maybe, but no, no, he can't
do it. Yeah, don't, Nor are you going to Nor
are you going to you're gonna tell him go count stand.
You can also say screw off. You can also say
you're not going to see a dime. You're also going
(13:20):
to say you cheap, lousy, duplicitus bastard. You can say
a bunch of stuff, but I wouldn't pay him at all.
And then if he goes after you, oh big time.
I think you go after him. Hey, let me tell
you a little something about your online privacy. What online privacy?
It doesn't exist. Everything about you, I mean everything is
available online. Your home address, where you work, where you bank,
(13:41):
what you buy, where you buy it, cord wreck records,
accident history, Uh, don't forget DMV information, credit score, social media.
I mean gonna spend an hour going on that. It's
all out there and it's not hard to find at all.
And data brokers collect that information and then sell that
information to anyone who wants to buy it, and there
(14:03):
goes your privacy. More importantly, look how vulnerable you are
because somebody, even bad guys, have all of your information.
And this is where in Cogni comes into play. What
incognity does is fight hundreds of these data brokers files
against hundred of these data brokers by informing them they
have to delete your information. That's the law. That's what
(14:25):
Incognity does. And every time before I go on the show,
I looked at Mie Cogne, I look at my Incognita account.
There they are hundreds of removal requests have been completed,
hundreds more are in progress and scheduled. That's in cogny,
So sixty percent off. When you use my name handle

Speaker 7 (14:55):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six four.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Welcome back. More Handle on the law, marginal legal advice.
Big al Oh, I love that. Two questions, where'd you
get that nickname? And actually are you big al?
Speaker 6 (15:13):
Hello?
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Yes, I'm here. Hello, oh boy? Oh no, all right,
I'm gonna put al on hold. I thought that was
fairly funny, but I just it wasn't all right. If Nikki,
if you're screening, figure something out with Big l Oh. Yes, Lisa, Hi, Lisa, welcome,
you're up? Hi there? Yes, how are you okay? I'm fine.
(15:36):
Matter of fact, I'm really miserable and life is horrible
and I'm very close to committing suicide. How are you
all right? Let's move on, all right, Lisa?
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Okay, So here's my question. I was renting a piece
of land that I bought and put my own manufactured
house on. I rented that house out to somebody who
went behind my back to the land owner and struck
a rent deal to where the landowner told me to
get my house off her property, which I did, but
during that time, she signed the lease with my tenants,
(16:09):
leasing the ground to her before I even vacated the property.
So I had to evict my tenant in order to
get my house off the property because she wouldn't get
out of it.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Okay, I'm a little confused. You owned the land or
the land? Well, I guess the landlord someone else owned
the land, correct, right?
Speaker 6 (16:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Okay, so now you have I rented it and you
rented it. Now you have manufactured housing, okay, got it?
Basically a trailer the double wide, triple wide, single wide,
no idea and so okay, So now a renter comes
in and rents directly from the landlord, while you have
(16:46):
a tenancy. So there were two. I'm sorry, they know.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
The renter came in and rented from me. She rented
my house from me, and I kill was renting the ground.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Okay, fair enough. Now I'm no longer confused, and so
what is your question?
Speaker 5 (17:04):
So my question is I had to evict my tenant
with and her adult grandson.
Speaker 6 (17:10):
Okay, and she went.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
She was claiming that the landlord had signed my landlord
of the property had signed a lease with her to
rent the ground.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Did you have a lease? Did you have a lease
with the landlord it was a month to month yes, okay,
but okay, all right, So did he give you note?
Did the landlord give you notice to get out of there?
Speaker 6 (17:33):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Okay, sixty day notice? Yes, okay. So with that there
you are. Did you move within sixty days?
Speaker 5 (17:40):
Well? I attempted to, but the tenant that that went
and supposedly signed the lease behind my back with her
refused to get out of my house. So I had
to evict her. So it took longer because she was
strung it out.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Okay, what did I'm surprised because if you didn't have
a lease and the landlord gave you sixty days and
then she went and rented the property. That's legitimate. How
did you get the how did you get the tenant out?
Speaker 6 (18:07):
I had to evictor I enter on what basis that
I had a lease.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
With I had you had a agreement with the Yeah,
but you said you had. You had a month a month,
which means that the landlord can say this is over
in sixty days, goodbye, You're done, chow baby, and is
free to rent to anybody he or she wants, as
long as the rental begins the day after you move out,
or begins day sixty one. So now you have, you
(18:35):
have evicted the tenant. Okay, that's good for you. I
don't know how you did that or somehow it happened.
You skirted the law, which is good. And so what
happened as a result of that? What happened after that?
Speaker 5 (18:47):
Well, I attempted to a victor, and she drug it
through court for.
Speaker 6 (18:51):
Months and months and months.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
I couldn't get my house off the property because she
wouldn't get out of it.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
So even though, all right, so's your question.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
I understand she stopped you from she stopped you from
removing your property. Okay, removing a trailer. She stopped it.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
Okay, Yes, Now do I have grounds to go and
sue her in small claim school?
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Of course you do, of course you do. She wouldn't
let rent, Yeah, yeah, of course you do, because she
even notwithstanding, it's not so much for the rent, it's
for the damages that she wouldn't let you have your
trailer until this was said and done. So your damages
are the amount of time you couldn't get your trailer
out of there, so you had to live someplace. So
I would argue that the damages where you lived. And
(19:35):
that's basically it, because everything else is legal, Everything else
is legal, other than the tenant who has a legitimate tendency,
because if the tenancy started on day sixty one, you're done,
you're finished. Landlord met the met all the terms of
the law. Now, her stopping you from moving the trailer
(19:56):
manufactured housing what they call it, now, I love that.
But those are the damages. So what did it cost you?
What it? What did it cost you?
Speaker 5 (20:05):
I mean I sold, I ended, I was selling the house, okay, okay.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
So you couldn't sell all right, So you couldn't sell it, okay,
So and I.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
Had to continue paying rent to the landlord until I
fully evicted her and got my nose off.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
No, no, no, you had no, you didn't have to
evict her, not you. So whatever you paid in rent,
I would argue that you get that back from the landlord. Yeah,
it's kind of a mess there, you know, it's no fun.
But you have to look at the eviction laws for sure.
All right, now, let's try a big Al again. Hello,
big Al, are you there?
Speaker 8 (20:37):
Yes, I'm here.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Okay, what can I do for you, big Al?
Speaker 3 (20:41):
I have to do a deposition next week, okay, and
I just want to know what a deposition is.
Speaker 9 (20:49):
Okay I have to do.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Okay, fair enough. Well, first of all, you have to
show up. That's for starters. The deposition is the lawyer
is going to the other side usually is going to
sit you down. You're going to be a witness, and uh,
whichever side calls you, you're a witness for one side
or the other, not that you take sides, but simply
to say what happened.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
The deposition is the lawyer asking you, big Al, what happened?
What did you see? What did you do? Uh? What
happened under what circumstances? That's what the deposition is about
you do it under the penalty of perjury, which means
you can't lie and you have to use your full
legal name, not big al. How'd you get your name?
Big l By the way, are you really big?
Speaker 6 (21:31):
No?
Speaker 5 (21:32):
Not really big?
Speaker 8 (21:33):
I just was when I was in the army.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Oh, okay, got it? All right, that's fair, that's fair.
Thank you for your service, by the way. Uh, that
is appreciated. So you get to show up now, who's
calling you for the deposition?
Speaker 8 (21:48):
The uh? My lawyer called me yesterday and said that
that they're scheduling the deposition because I was involved in
an auto accident.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Okay, so you your fault? Are you a party?
Speaker 6 (22:06):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Your witness? Basically? Okay, all right, So here's what you do.
You simply, you know, you put your hand up in
the air and they go, do you swear to tell
the truth and under the penalty of perjury if you lie,
you know, we're going to put you in prison or
you're yeah. They they go throughout this crap, which is
all crap. But you got to tell the truth and
that's it. You can bring a lawyer or not. I
(22:29):
don't know if i'd bring a lawyer. I wouldn't. I
wouldn't pay for a lawyer unless the defense is calling
you as as a witness, then you know I'd argue, hey,
you got to pay me. Or you say I'm not
going to help you. You don't threaten not to help
I'm saying, you say to the defense, I not My
testimony is not going to help you. Do you understand
(22:51):
I'm going to be no help to you at all.
A matter of fact, I'm going to hurt your case
and then you'll get out of it. But let's it.
Just tell the truth and you'll sit there and you'll
be bored out of your mind and you'll be asked
where do you live, where you've worked, you know how
many times you went to school? I mean, just all
that crap for hours. But it's just bottom line, you
have no there's no liability. You're not going to get
(23:12):
into trouble. You're just going to be there as a witness.
That's what a deposition is. And what they do with
that positions is they try to get all the facts
together so when they go to trial, everything is laid
out so they don't have to do that kind of
they don't have to do that kind of investigation. Now,
if you've been insured in an accident, let me share
(23:34):
something with you. You are and it's not your fault,
then slip and fall, a car accident, whatever, you're going
to probably need a lawyer. Matter of fact, you are
going to leader a lawyer because all you have is
money here to talk about, nothing more, nothing less, And
so you want to get the max amount of money
you're due, you deserve, and that's very tough to do
on your own. So I'm going to suggest handle on
the law dot com. Lawyers who are vetted. I make
(23:56):
the phone call if there's a problem that doesn't happen
anyplace else, and you know you're getting a good lawyer

all the time. All right, so I'll put Denise on
hold for a moment, and Ricky, Ricky, what can I
do for you A bill? Yes, yes, sir.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
I don't know how far into the minuci you want
me to get on this, but basically, about a year
and a half ago, I was driving from I live
in Maine, but I played trombone down in New Orleans
and I was coming back to Maine post Marti Gras,
and I looked like Marti Gras warmed over.
Speaker 9 (25:26):
I don't know if you've ever been down there, but
I am.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
I am in yes, yeah, yes, so we have what
happened to you, Yes, we don't have to What happened
to you on the drive back?
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Well, I mean that's kind of part of the story.
I was having a lot of car trouble.
Speaker 9 (25:41):
On the way down, and I stopped in a small
town in Georgia out of desperation and.
Speaker 6 (25:49):
Lifted up my hood.
Speaker 9 (25:50):
Couldn't tell what was wrong. I went into the a
MP there. There was nobody there except for the owner.
He said something smart to me. I said something smart back,
but I asked him where he's uh, whereas you.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Know, automotive section was. They didn't really have what I wanted.
I went back out to the coach.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Okay, we have to make that. We're running out of time.
We have to make this a little bit quick.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
The guy called the cops me okay, and he said
that I smelled like beer. Okay, we can't. And so
what I want to know, because, uh, basically all hell
fell down after that?
Speaker 1 (26:33):
All right, were you arrested? Were you arrested?
Speaker 3 (26:36):
Of course I was arrested.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Okay, And and I'm assuming they dropped the charges. Correct, No?
Oh so all right, so you have a court date?
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Well not as of yet, I haven't been a ragined.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Oh yeah, so I'll have a court date. Okay. So
now you've been arraigned. You were busted I'm assuming for
what harassing him? Uh? In public? What were you charged with?
Speaker 3 (27:01):
I was charged with a DUI, which blows.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Okay, I got it. Listen, listen. I mean it's a
good story. We're going to put you on hold because
you have dumped and jumped into minutia. So let me
do this. I'll pick you up at the end of
the hour or after we come back, I'll come back
to you. I will come back to you. Okay, So
don't worry about that or worry about that either way. Okay,
(27:25):
Before we bail out of here and finish the hour,
a quick word about your privacy online, the kind that
you don't have. If you think you have privacy, you
are crazy. Your home address, where you work, where you bank,
what you buy, where you buy it. All of that
is available online. Your DMV information, your credit score, it's
all out there online and it's not hard to get.
And data brokers collect all of this information and sell
(27:48):
it to anybody who wants to buy it, even the
bad guys. And so there you are with your information
out there, and a data broker has it and has
sold it. So this is where in Cogni comes into
play and fights back. What in Cogni does is contact
hundreds of these data brokers and believe me, there are
hundreds out there and legally demand your information be deleted
and they have to do that. And just to give
(28:10):
you an idea, I'm a customer of Incognate and every
day when I do this show, hundreds of removal of
cress have been completed. I'd log on hundreds more are
in progress. So I'm going to suggesting Cogni to bring
back your data, protect yourself. Get sixty percent off when
you use my name handle it's h A N D
e L sixty percent off. Go to incogny I N
(28:33):
c O g n I I n coog ni dot
com slash handle in cogny dot com slash handle, this
is handle on the law. 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
(28:53):
iHeartRadio app
You're listenings kp 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. Now when you read a post
on social media. By now, everybody knows that celebrities and
(00:24):
people influencers get paid get paid. If we're being told
a certain brand of shampoo is terrific and wonderful, a
good chance that that person is getting paid to say that.
It's sort of a given. And the more influential, the
bigger the star power, the more money that they get.
(00:45):
And as a matter of fact, I mean there are
people out there that get you can get one hundred
thousand dollars per post. I mean, it's really scary stuff
for sure. So let me tell you what Sacramento just
did and it passed the law, and what it said
is if you go and you post something political and
(01:05):
you are paid for it, you absolutely must disclose that. Now,
do you disclose when you are paid to talk about
a restaurant? You should, But I don't think the law
says that you must disclose that. But when it comes
to politics, oh you bet you Why? Because politics are
(01:25):
far more important than you buying one brand of shampoo
or another, because that doesn't affect me. You know, whatever
product you buy, I couldn't care less doesn't affect me
in the least. Moving the political needle, oh yeah, that
affects me big time because we are all affected by politics.
(01:46):
So what you're going to see in California, we're one
of two states along with Texas. Interestingly enough, that have
passed these policies requiring content creators to say if they
have been paid by a political campaign, and beyond that,
California is considering it hasn't done so yet, cracking down
(02:08):
by finding people who don't if someone has been paid
and does not say, by the way, I'm paid for
this campaign, that campaign, even a political action committee. I
think that you may get away with. But celebrities major
influencers are going to have to disclose. And campaigns have
(02:30):
long worked with the celebrities and major influencers to win
over voters. Usually you think of political political statements as gee,
that's just the way I think, because the politics are
crazy today, as you know, my god, they're crazy, and
so you think people are just giving their opinion and
ripping into what the Biden administration is doing, or what
(02:51):
was doing, what the Trump administration is doing, what a
congress person has said done taking a position on now,
and good for them, because I want to know, I
really do want to know, because do I pay attention
to influencers? Well I don't. I mean I don't pay
attention to anybody on the internet, but a lot of
people do, and I mean big time. Okay, let's go
(03:15):
ahead and take some phone calls. Let's start with will
be doing the icon over here, Luis or Lewis welcome, Hi, Bill, Yes, sir, morning, Yes, sirs, Bill.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
I have a.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Question for you.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Okay. I have a friend, okay who works as an
independent contractor. He was not paid for a job by
another independent contractor.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
He went to the labor board.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
He got a judgment against a person who did not
pay him, but that person has not paid him in
a year and a half even so can he do
a civil.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Because it's he's already yeah, he can. But he's already
got a judgment by the labor board, which actually is
far stronger than a civil judgment. So he has all
the ammunition he needs to go collect. So all he
has to do now is collect. And that's no joke
collecting what is? Well, let me give you the legal
(04:19):
premise here. There is a very long line of cases
dealing with that, and all of them boiled down to
your friend isn't going to see a dime because if
it turns out that he has evaded so far, although
I don't know if your friend's tried to collect, has
your friend tried to collect on it? Or just saying oh,
can I assume himivilly? Which which way are they going
on this?
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Lewis No, he has not the guy he got the
judgment from the labor board. Okay, and and and the
guy has not paid it down.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Okay, it's not Okay, it's not. It's not a judgment.
It is an order from the labor board ordering him
to pay much much stronger than a civil judgment. And
so he simply has to collect on that. And you
get to see the rules. You can garnish wages. If
he has a business, you can get the business up
much better. Office if he's working for someone where he
(05:11):
is an employee, because then you can go to the
employer and slap the order down and the employer must
take money out of his paycheck. But then again, he's
an independent contractor and not working for anybody. So how
much is how much is the amount that's owed?
Speaker 4 (05:29):
Do you know twenty thousand dollars?
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Well, first of all small claims, only twelve thousand, five hundred,
so he would have to give.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
Up the rest.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
So you don't him. Well, there already is a lean
against him, and now it's a question and going against
his business. It's it's tough. It is tough. What he
should do is go online and say, just ask the question,
how I'll never collect against judgments? How it is impossible
(05:57):
to collect. How you're never going to be a dime?
That's what I would. Yeah, I know it's so depressing,
isn't it. That's just the way it works. Hey, I'll
tell you how you can get paid if you're in
a car accident and you've been injured or slip and
fall and you've been injured and it's not your fault,
it's going to be an insurance company that's going to
(06:17):
talk to you and you are going to get paid. Now,
it's only about money. There's not much else you can do.
And so how do you collect the most amount of money?
Are you going to talk to the insurance company we're
talking about the other side. Are you going to talk
to the insurance company yourself? These guys are experts in
not paying you. That's what they do for a living.
So how do you help yourself and get the max
(06:38):
that you need or more importantly, you deserve. Well, it's
a lawyer. I mean that's the bottom line. Now, you
don't pay for the lawyer. Not in the case of
personal injury. They simply take a percentage of what it's collected,
a percentage of what is settled for. And if there's
no money picked up, then there's no money at all.
So you're not out of dime. And so where do
(06:58):
you go? Well, let me suggest handle on the Law
dot Com. I created handle on the Law dot com
to make sure you get the right lawyer. A lot
of advertisers lawyer out there, a lot of lawyer's advertise
out there. I mean, just listen to the show, look
at a billboard on the freeway. So handle on the
Law dot Com provides these lawyers who are vetted. And
if there's a problem, I make the phone call. So
call a D eight eight a D eight eight eight
(07:20):
sixty six eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight
sixty six eight. If you have been injured and it's
not your fault, it's handle on the Law dot com.
This is handle on the Law.
Speaker 7 (07:32):
You're listening to Bill handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Welcome back. More legal advice. This is handle on the
Law marginal legal advice or I tell you you have
absolutely no case. All right, diego, yo, diego? What can
I do for you? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Bill, So I'm calling for our friend. He pulled over
to the side of the road to you his phone,
did the responsible thing. While he was using his phone,
a woman hit him, broke his femur.
Speaker 6 (08:07):
Hmm.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
He didn't even see it coming. She hit him, broke
his femur. He nearly died. He had to learn how
to walk. Took him a year. And now she's in hiding.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Okay, uh and they can't find her. Well, I'm assuming
it was a hit and run. So the police were called? Correct,
and yeah.
Speaker 6 (08:24):
The police came. Okay, she got out of the car,
she was fine.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Okay. Did they get a driver's license or sorry? Did
they get a license plate? Was able to get that?
Speaker 6 (08:33):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Okay, good, So they're tracking her down all right, So
there's a worn out for her arrest. Okay, that's for starters.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Now there's not bill, there's not there's not a worn
out for her arrest.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Okay. That's interesting if they know who she is and
they're not out to get her. I mean, this is
a felony, major injury. You're talking about a hit and
run with major boy. That's kind of that's kind of rough.
But it doesn't change anything, by the way, in terms
of him. Now we're talking about he may want to
have her put in jail just for the joys of
(09:03):
putting her in jail for what she did to him.
Now let's talk about money in reality, all all, your
friend's gonna get his money, I mean, put it in
here in jail, doesn't put any money in his pocket
and get.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
He hasn't got a penny obviously, because he tried to
track down her bank account some way and then they sold.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Okay, so he knows who she is. Oh yeah, he's okay,
Oh yeah, So there's a warm out. They'll pick her up.
They'll pick her up at some point. They always do
because there will be a traffic violation out there. But
that's beside the point. Okay. So it looks like she
doesn't have a dime. So now comes the big question.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
The thing is, she found out that she did have
a really good job and she did take out a
good chunk of money.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Okay, so she's she's impossible to find. And uh, now
we go to your insurance. He goes to his insurance company.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
He didn't have insurance.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
But he didn't have insurance. Okay, so now what I
want him to do? Okay, this this is the answer.
You can go on the internet and look up the
acronym s l O Okay, because that is exactly where
he sits. And this is a very good lesson on
(10:16):
why doesn't he have insurance? Do we know why? He
doesn't have to.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Save a few bucks here and there to get back
to that's it. But I know what you're saying though,
Yeah that's insured.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Yeah you've got to have you you have to have insurance.
That's all there is to it. And you know, I
have a healthy policy. So I have a policy enough
where if people knew if I had a kindergartener, for example,
and I knew where I if I knew where I lived,
I would have my kindergarten walk in front of the
car every single time. You know to a crosswalk and
(10:49):
there'll be some serious money there.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
See.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
That's that happens all the time. I tell you over
and over again. Buy insurance because and part of insurance,
not just liability and insurance which is thirty sixty thirty
thousand minimum sixty thousand dollars for any group of cases.
Let's say you're hitting three people in a car. Well,
it's sixty thousand dollars split among all of them. But
(11:14):
if you don't have insurance, you're not going to get
a dime. You have to assume the other side doesn't
have insurance. You have to make that assumption. Frank, Hello, Frank, welcome.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
Yes, Hello, Yes, I'm here. Okay. So I signed a
flat seat agreement with the lawyer for Dnastic by case
of that, all right, I never paid I never paid
the fee. Yeah, twelve twelve hours after I signed, I
decided I did not want to use him. It was okay,
(11:45):
change my mind. Okay. So later on that evening he
sent me a bill for four thousand dollars. Aha, seeing that.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Okay, they say, you signed, you signed, you signed a
retainer agreement and he owes you four thousand dollars. Where
you owe him four thousand, because that was the what
the I guess down payment is the closest thing you
would call it. It's money goes into his trust account
as against hourly that he pays unless it's a flat fee.
Speaker 6 (12:10):
But it was a flash fee agreement.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Wait, well, here's what you do, Okay, I don't think
you owe the money, Frank, I don't think you owe
the money. You tell him, no, thank you, I am
not paying you not you did what did you do
in twelve hours? And he is going to have to
justify four thousand dollars worth of work in twelve hours.
He'll never be able to justify that. So what you do?
(12:38):
You simply tell him to go pound sand legal term
pound sand and if he sues you, you've got a
hell of defense. And if he sues you, you take
him to the state bar. I mean instantly. Yeah, absolutely,
he can't do that. You can't build someone for no
time spent. He's got to return the money. Now. He
might be able to say I looked at the file
(12:59):
or I started a file and you I can charge
you for an hour maybe, but no, no, he can't
do it. Yeah, don't, Nor are you going to Nor
are you going to you're gonna tell him go count stand.
You can also say screw off. You can also say
you're not going to see a dime. You're also going
(13:20):
to say you cheap, lousy, duplicitus bastard. You can say
a bunch of stuff, but I wouldn't pay him at all.
And then if he goes after you, oh big time.
I think you go after him. Hey, let me tell
you a little something about your online privacy. What online privacy?
It doesn't exist. Everything about you, I mean everything is
available online. Your home address, where you work, where you bank,
(13:41):
what you buy, where you buy it, cord wreck records,
accident history, Uh, don't forget DMV information, credit score, social media.
I mean gonna spend an hour going on that. It's
all out there and it's not hard to find at all.
And data brokers collect that information and then sell that
information to anyone who wants to buy it, and there
(14:03):
goes your privacy. More importantly, look how vulnerable you are
because somebody, even bad guys, have all of your information.
And this is where in Cogni comes into play. What
incognity does is fight hundreds of these data brokers files
against hundred of these data brokers by informing them they
have to delete your information. That's the law. That's what
(14:25):
Incognity does. And every time before I go on the show,
I looked at Mie Cogne, I look at my Incognita account.
There they are hundreds of removal requests have been completed,
hundreds more are in progress and scheduled. That's in cogny,

Speaker 7 (14:55):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six four.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Welcome back. More Handle on the law, marginal legal advice.
Big al Oh, I love that. Two questions, where'd you
get that nickname? And actually are you big al?
Speaker 6 (15:13):
Hello?
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Yes, I'm here. Hello, oh boy? Oh no, all right,
I'm gonna put al on hold. I thought that was
fairly funny, but I just it wasn't all right. If Nikki,
if you're screening, figure something out with Big l Oh. Yes, Lisa, Hi, Lisa, welcome,
you're up? Hi there? Yes, how are you okay? I'm fine.
(15:36):
Matter of fact, I'm really miserable and life is horrible
and I'm very close to committing suicide. How are you
all right? Let's move on, all right, Lisa?
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Okay, So here's my question. I was renting a piece
of land that I bought and put my own manufactured
house on. I rented that house out to somebody who
went behind my back to the land owner and struck
a rent deal to where the landowner told me to
get my house off her property, which I did, but
during that time, she signed the lease with my tenants,
(16:09):
leasing the ground to her before I even vacated the property.
So I had to evict my tenant in order to
get my house off the property because she wouldn't get
out of it.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Okay, I'm a little confused. You owned the land or
the land? Well, I guess the landlord someone else owned
the land, correct, right?
Speaker 6 (16:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Okay, so now you have I rented it and you
rented it. Now you have manufactured housing, okay, got it?
Basically a trailer the double wide, triple wide, single wide,
no idea and so okay, So now a renter comes
in and rents directly from the landlord, while you have
(16:46):
a tenancy. So there were two. I'm sorry, they know.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
The renter came in and rented from me. She rented
my house from me, and I kill was renting the ground.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Okay, fair enough. Now I'm no longer confused, and so
what is your question?
Speaker 5 (17:04):
So my question is I had to evict my tenant
with and her adult grandson.
Speaker 6 (17:10):
Okay, and she went.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
She was claiming that the landlord had signed my landlord
of the property had signed a lease with her to
rent the ground.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Did you have a lease? Did you have a lease
with the landlord it was a month to month yes, okay,
but okay, all right, So did he give you note?
Did the landlord give you notice to get out of there?
Speaker 6 (17:33):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Okay, sixty day notice? Yes, okay. So with that there
you are. Did you move within sixty days?
Speaker 5 (17:40):
Well? I attempted to, but the tenant that that went
and supposedly signed the lease behind my back with her
refused to get out of my house. So I had
to evict her. So it took longer because she was
strung it out.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Okay, what did I'm surprised because if you didn't have
a lease and the landlord gave you sixty days and
then she went and rented the property. That's legitimate. How
did you get the how did you get the tenant out?
Speaker 6 (18:07):
I had to evictor I enter on what basis that
I had a lease.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
With I had you had a agreement with the Yeah,
but you said you had. You had a month a month,
which means that the landlord can say this is over
in sixty days, goodbye, You're done, chow baby, and is
free to rent to anybody he or she wants, as
long as the rental begins the day after you move out,
or begins day sixty one. So now you have, you
(18:35):
have evicted the tenant. Okay, that's good for you. I
don't know how you did that or somehow it happened.
You skirted the law, which is good. And so what
happened as a result of that? What happened after that?
Speaker 5 (18:47):
Well, I attempted to a victor, and she drug it
through court for.
Speaker 6 (18:51):
Months and months and months.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
I couldn't get my house off the property because she
wouldn't get out of it.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
So even though, all right, so's your question.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
I understand she stopped you from she stopped you from
removing your property. Okay, removing a trailer. She stopped it.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
Okay, Yes, Now do I have grounds to go and
sue her in small claim school?
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Of course you do, of course you do. She wouldn't
let rent, Yeah, yeah, of course you do, because she
even notwithstanding, it's not so much for the rent, it's
for the damages that she wouldn't let you have your
trailer until this was said and done. So your damages
are the amount of time you couldn't get your trailer
out of there, so you had to live someplace. So
I would argue that the damages where you lived. And
(19:35):
that's basically it, because everything else is legal, Everything else
is legal, other than the tenant who has a legitimate tendency,
because if the tenancy started on day sixty one, you're done,
you're finished. Landlord met the met all the terms of
the law. Now, her stopping you from moving the trailer
(19:56):
manufactured housing what they call it, now, I love that.
But those are the damages. So what did it cost you?
What it? What did it cost you?
Speaker 5 (20:05):
I mean I sold, I ended, I was selling the house, okay, okay.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
So you couldn't sell all right, So you couldn't sell it, okay,
So and I.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
Had to continue paying rent to the landlord until I
fully evicted her and got my nose off.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
No, no, no, you had no, you didn't have to
evict her, not you. So whatever you paid in rent,
I would argue that you get that back from the landlord. Yeah,
it's kind of a mess there, you know, it's no fun.
But you have to look at the eviction laws for sure.
All right, now, let's try a big Al again. Hello,
big Al, are you there?
Speaker 8 (20:37):
Yes, I'm here.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Okay, what can I do for you, big Al?
Speaker 3 (20:41):
I have to do a deposition next week, okay, and
I just want to know what a deposition is.
Speaker 9 (20:49):
Okay I have to do.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Okay, fair enough. Well, first of all, you have to
show up. That's for starters. The deposition is the lawyer
is going to the other side usually is going to
sit you down. You're going to be a witness, and uh,
whichever side calls you, you're a witness for one side
or the other, not that you take sides, but simply
to say what happened.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
The deposition is the lawyer asking you, big Al, what happened?
What did you see? What did you do? Uh? What
happened under what circumstances? That's what the deposition is about
you do it under the penalty of perjury, which means
you can't lie and you have to use your full
legal name, not big al. How'd you get your name?
Big l By the way, are you really big?
Speaker 6 (21:31):
No?
Speaker 5 (21:32):
Not really big?
Speaker 8 (21:33):
I just was when I was in the army.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Oh, okay, got it? All right, that's fair, that's fair.
Thank you for your service, by the way. Uh, that
is appreciated. So you get to show up now, who's
calling you for the deposition?
Speaker 8 (21:48):
The uh? My lawyer called me yesterday and said that
that they're scheduling the deposition because I was involved in
an auto accident.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Okay, so you your fault? Are you a party?
Speaker 6 (22:06):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Your witness? Basically? Okay, all right, So here's what you do.
You simply, you know, you put your hand up in
the air and they go, do you swear to tell
the truth and under the penalty of perjury if you lie,
you know, we're going to put you in prison or
you're yeah. They they go throughout this crap, which is
all crap. But you got to tell the truth and
that's it. You can bring a lawyer or not. I
(22:29):
don't know if i'd bring a lawyer. I wouldn't. I
wouldn't pay for a lawyer unless the defense is calling
you as as a witness, then you know I'd argue, hey,
you got to pay me. Or you say I'm not
going to help you. You don't threaten not to help
I'm saying, you say to the defense, I not My
testimony is not going to help you. Do you understand
(22:51):
I'm going to be no help to you at all.
A matter of fact, I'm going to hurt your case
and then you'll get out of it. But let's it.
Just tell the truth and you'll sit there and you'll
be bored out of your mind and you'll be asked
where do you live, where you've worked, you know how
many times you went to school? I mean, just all
that crap for hours. But it's just bottom line, you
have no there's no liability. You're not going to get
(23:12):
into trouble. You're just going to be there as a witness.
That's what a deposition is. And what they do with
that positions is they try to get all the facts
together so when they go to trial, everything is laid
out so they don't have to do that kind of
they don't have to do that kind of investigation. Now,
if you've been insured in an accident, let me share
(23:34):
something with you. You are and it's not your fault,
then slip and fall, a car accident, whatever, you're going
to probably need a lawyer. Matter of fact, you are
going to leader a lawyer because all you have is
money here to talk about, nothing more, nothing less, And
so you want to get the max amount of money
you're due, you deserve, and that's very tough to do
on your own. So I'm going to suggest handle on
the law dot com. Lawyers who are vetted. I make
(23:56):
the phone call if there's a problem that doesn't happen
anyplace else, and you know you're getting a good lawyer
to represent you, and there's no money up front, by
the way, that doesn't exist you only you take. The
lawyer takes a percentage of what you get on the
back end called a day eight a da ate eight

Speaker 3 (25:03):
I don't know how far into the minuci you want
me to get on this, but basically, about a year
and a half ago, I was driving from I live
in Maine, but I played trombone down in New Orleans
and I was coming back to Maine post Marti Gras,
and I looked like Marti Gras warmed over.
Speaker 9 (25:26):
I don't know if you've ever been down there, but
I am.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
I am in yes, yeah, yes, so we have what
happened to you, Yes, we don't have to What happened
to you on the drive back?
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Well, I mean that's kind of part of the story.
I was having a lot of car trouble.
Speaker 9 (25:41):
On the way down, and I stopped in a small
town in Georgia out of desperation and.
Speaker 6 (25:49):
Lifted up my hood.
Speaker 9 (25:50):
Couldn't tell what was wrong. I went into the a
MP there. There was nobody there except for the owner.
He said something smart to me. I said something smart back,
but I asked him where he's uh, whereas you.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Know, automotive section was. They didn't really have what I wanted.
I went back out to the coach.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Okay, we have to make that. We're running out of time.
We have to make this a little bit quick.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
The guy called the cops me okay, and he said
that I smelled like beer. Okay, we can't. And so
what I want to know, because, uh, basically all hell
fell down after that?
Speaker 1 (26:33):
All right, were you arrested? Were you arrested?
Speaker 3 (26:36):
Of course I was arrested.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Okay, And and I'm assuming they dropped the charges. Correct, No?
Oh so all right, so you have a court date?
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Well not as of yet, I haven't been a ragined.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Oh yeah, so I'll have a court date. Okay. So
now you've been arraigned. You were busted I'm assuming for
what harassing him? Uh? In public? What were you charged with?
Speaker 3 (27:01):
I was charged with a DUI, which blows.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Okay, I got it. Listen, listen. I mean it's a
good story. We're going to put you on hold because
you have dumped and jumped into minutia. So let me
do this. I'll pick you up at the end of
the hour or after we come back, I'll come back
to you. I will come back to you. Okay, So
don't worry about that or worry about that either way. Okay,
(27:25):
Before we bail out of here and finish the hour,
a quick word about your privacy online, the kind that
you don't have. If you think you have privacy, you
are crazy. Your home address, where you work, where you bank,
what you buy, where you buy it. All of that
is available online. Your DMV information, your credit score, it's
all out there online and it's not hard to get.
And data brokers collect all of this information and sell
(27:48):
it to anybody who wants to buy it, even the
bad guys. And so there you are with your information
out there, and a data broker has it and has
sold it. So this is where in Cogni comes into
play and fights back. What in Cogni does is contact
hundreds of these data brokers and believe me, there are
hundreds out there and legally demand your information be deleted
and they have to do that. And just to give
(28:10):
you an idea, I'm a customer of Incognate and every
day when I do this show, hundreds of removal of
cress have been completed. I'd log on hundreds more are
in progress. So I'm going to suggesting Cogni to bring
back your data, protect yourself. Get sixty percent off when
you use my name handle it's h A N D
e L sixty percent off. Go to incogny I N
