Speaker 1 (00:00):
Your list Saints KF I AM six forty The bill
handles show on demand on the iheartradiop.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
I AM six forty bill handled here. It is a
Saturday morning, two more hours to go. If you have
a legal question eight hundred five two zero one five
three four eight hundred five two zero one five three
four top of the hour. Inevitably, lines are open. Sometimes
we're full, and today has been pretty full. So if

(00:29):
you want to jump in, lines are open. Eight hundred
five to two zero one five three four. This is
handle on the law, marginal legal advice where I tell
you you have absolutely no case. Now, when it comes
to broadcasting, there is a rule. We're talking about television broadcasting,
even radio. There is a rule called the equal time rule,

(00:51):
where for example, if I were to put on a
candidate that has a position running for office, then under
the equal time rule, I have to put on the
opposing candidate or at least offer it. And that's still
in place. But everybody's ignored that for years and years. Well,
all of a sudden it's come back and it's now

(01:11):
ruled or come back with its ugly head. And this
has to do with the Trump administration and ABC ABC
has a television show called The View. In the View
is I think five women who sit around and talk,
very highly rated, very successful, and it's about as anti
Trump as you're going to get. And what the what's

(01:33):
happening now is the FCC is saying, we want equal time.
You have an hour of anti Trump, we want an
hour of pro Trump, and ABC is saying no, because
the equal time rule doesn't apply to us. Well, the

(01:53):
network is fighting a Trump administration accusation and trying to
do the and trying to in trying to use the
equal time rule. The ABC is saying it's a violation
of free speech. And so that's the fight that's going

(02:14):
to be fought now.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
The SCC.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
About two decades ago ruled that under these circumstances, the
equal time rule doesn't exist, does not apply, and so
The View, the morning show that combines entertainment and political interviews,
is a bona fide news program. Therefore equal time doesn't

(02:44):
have to be adhere to. I have to because I'm
not a news program. So the fight is going on.
ABC says, no, we don't qualify, we're exempt. The Trump
administration is yep, yep, you do a play and we.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
Want equal time. And of course this is going to
go to court.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Inevitably, it's going to go to court, and no matter
which way the FCC, if the FCC prevails, I am
assuming there will be a legal fight, although the court's
let administrative agencies, which the FCC is generally prevail. Okay,
let's go ahead and take a.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
Phone call or two. Mike. Hello, Mike, it's your turn.
What can I do for you? Yes?

Speaker 4 (03:29):
Yeah, quick question. So back in twenty twenty, I took
out a online personal loan for about anywhere between me.
It was either twelve hundred dollars or two thousand dollars,
but I never paid it back. And here we are
twenty twenty six and somebody from AI Legal Partners.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Keeps it it doesn't matter what the company, you don't
have to give me. You don't have to give me
the name of the company. So some company has emailed you, correct.

Speaker 4 (04:02):
And reach out to me and threatening to garnish my waging.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
Okay, just tell them, Okay, they can't garnish your threats.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
Yeah, they can't garnish your wages until there's a judgment,
all right, Uh So I wouldn't worry about it.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
This night, my last.

Speaker 4 (04:20):
A mediation department reached out to me and told me
that they're trying to contact me to resolve this before
they start garnishing, which is and ignored their phone. Cause
do I just keep ignoring it?

Speaker 3 (04:34):
Well, no, it depends on whether you want to have
fun or not.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
What I do is, if I were in that situation,
I would call them up and say, okay, I'll see
you in court.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
Oh, by the way, Uh, there's a statute of.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
Limitations issue here, And if you file a lawsuit knowing
that the statute of limitations has run, you are liable.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
But you can also ignore it. It doesn't matter you
ignore it until.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
The file limitations four years in California, when's the last
time you made a payment on this?

Speaker 3 (05:05):
When's the last time you made a payment?

Speaker 4 (05:06):
I never did?

Speaker 2 (05:07):
Okay, So you took out the loan in twenty twenty.
The statute of limitation ended in twenty twenty four.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
Boom.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
At that point, their ability to sue you is over
and all they can do to collect the money is nothing. Now,
I'll tell you what they can do is ding your credit.
That's no fun, right, that's no funn.

Speaker 4 (05:29):
And that they can do after seven years of contact
that it goes off.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
It doesn't matter. Yeah, I don't know. It's even not
after no contact.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
They can to miss on when they ding your credit
and I think that stays there after seven years or
I don't think there's a law that says it's just
a policy what they do.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
Maybe there's a law, But that's the risk.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
Is your credit, your credit being hit noted as an
unpaid debt. That's that's it. That's the only liability you're
looking at. As far as they say guard you know
they're going to garnish your wages. That's a croc. That
is a straight threat that has no ability for them
to do that. They're lying about that unless they get

(06:11):
a judgment. And they can't get a judgment, and they
know they can't get a judgment.

Speaker 4 (06:17):
Now, okay recently, well like two and a half years ago,
I moved, So they don't have an.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
Adject It doesn't matter.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
None of that matters, None of that matters, all right.
The statute of limitations has run. Yeah, uh sue hi,
sue hi.

Speaker 3 (06:40):
Bill, Yes, ma'am, I'm coming.

Speaker 5 (06:42):
Yeah, I'm calling from my ninety year old neighbor. She
wanted me to call you in CIFCHIF case. She was
experiencing horizontal and vertical lines and one.

Speaker 6 (06:50):
Of her eyes.

Speaker 5 (06:52):
Went to her eye doctor and they put novacaine in her
eye and they give her a shot. The pressure went
up about seventy percent and she started experiencing pain around
the eye and went back. Now she's blind in that eye.

Speaker 3 (07:08):
Ooh okay.

Speaker 5 (07:10):
And she said, call Bill and asked them.

Speaker 7 (07:12):
If I have a case.

Speaker 3 (07:13):
Yeah, I think she does. I think she does. Yeah.
I mean the only defense.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
If I'm the defense attorney, I would argue, how old
is she? Ninety years old?

Speaker 7 (07:23):
You know what?

Speaker 3 (07:23):
Ninety Yeah, she's seen enough. You know, she doesn't need
all her eyeballs. That's not much of a defense. That's
more of a joke than anything else. Yeah, it sounds
like a malpractice case. It does sound like a all
practice case.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
So it is time to talk to a medical malpractice attorney.
Or you can go to handle on the law dot com.
They don't do medical malpractice, but they know people who
do because tied in. Yeah, so you'll call them up.
You'll talk to a lawyer. Explain that you talk to me.
Two things happen. Number One, they start laughing, that's the

(07:56):
big one. And number two, they will give you the
names of attorneys in referral. That is, they are a
legitimate lawyers who really do know what they're doing. Now
talking about handle on the law dot Com as a
referral handle on the law dot Com. They have lawyers
that do personal injury law. And if you've been injured

(08:19):
and let's say a car accident, we got one of
those this morning, a rear ender, and it's not your fault. Clearly,
a rear ender is not your fault. By the way,
you don't know who is at fault or not. Even
if an insurance company says you are at fault, not
necessarily that's an insurance company's recommendation or their decision. That
doesn't mean legally the insured is not at fault. Which

(08:42):
is why if you've been injured car accidents, slip and fall,
let's say, it's worth a phone call to handle on
the law dot Com. Call eight eight eight eight eight
eight eight six six eight eight eight eight eight eight
eight eight six six eight or visit handle on the
law dot Com. Handle on the law dot Com. This
is handle on the law kfi AM six forty handle

(09:07):
here eight hundred five two zero, one, five three four,
Welcome back. It is handle on the law, marginal legal
ad vice. Oh, oh, this one, I get a lot.
No one wants to hear the answer.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
Hello, Marilyn.

Speaker 8 (09:24):
Hi know, yes, ma'am, Yes, I just want have one question. Yes,
Oh do I collect judgment from the court.

Speaker 3 (09:34):
Ah, it's a good question.

Speaker 5 (09:36):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
And there are a bunch of ways you can collect
judgment from the court. First of all, if you assume
and I based on your question, I think you know.
The answer is that a court does not enforce its
own judgment. It's up to you.

Speaker 3 (09:49):
You get a judgment. How big is your judgment?

Speaker 2 (09:51):
Marylyn Flus Okay, five thousand dollars. So now, if the
defendant is working you you can garnish the wages. What
you do is you file the wage, You file the
order with the marshals, and the marshals will go out,
and or you file the order with the employer and

(10:12):
the employer has to give x percentage to you of
the judgment. If the defendant has any assets, you can
go after assets, bank accounts, et cetera. And it's now,
does the defendant work, get is employed and gets regular wages?

Speaker 3 (10:29):
Works for a company.

Speaker 8 (10:30):
Yeah, okay, you on and off?

Speaker 2 (10:34):
Well, see, on and off doesn't help. So it's not
a full employment. It's probably gig employment.

Speaker 3 (10:39):
Right, Okay, that's the problem because there's nothing to garnish
because a gig employee is basically a ten ninety nine,
a contractor, if you will, So the company has nothing
to do with it.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
So now you have to go after the individual, and
you have the garnishment issue. You look for assets and
it is ann and you certainly aren't going to go
to a collection agency. Maybe, but they're not going to
do nothing more than what you're going to do.

Speaker 3 (11:08):
Do you know who can you reach the defendant?

Speaker 8 (11:12):
No, that's the problem has been going you know, like
live here, live there.

Speaker 3 (11:17):
Oh, yeah, that's a problem. That's a problem.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
Now you have someone who is basically a professional flake
and you're probably not going to get the money yet,
get the money anyway.

Speaker 3 (11:29):
Kathy, Hi, Kathy, you're up. Welcome, Thank you.

Speaker 9 (11:35):
Ten days ago, I received a text from a stranger
to confirm my identity. Before I answered, I researched the
telephone number on the internet and it is a legit
mineral rights company in Texas. I texted him fact that
it was me. He informed me that my grandfather had
a brother that died childless, and his company is contacting

(11:57):
all the distant relatives that possibly have oiled rights on
a property and sexes. He's pressuring me to sign over
my interests be forty oh.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
God, okay, come on, come on.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
He's pressuring you to sign over your interests based on
a phone call, based on maybe it may be a
legitimate company.

Speaker 3 (12:18):
And this is what they do.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
They pressure people into signing over their mental rights.

Speaker 3 (12:24):
Of course, you don't sign it, of course not.

Speaker 2 (12:27):
What you do is contact the company that is giving
you mineral rights. What you do is you do a
title search, find out who the company is. You contact them,
and you say, okay, I'm one of the owners. Now
it happens, and depending on how it's set up, the
mineral rights are given to basically the closest relative. It's

(12:51):
part of the as part of the estate, and so
depending on did they tell you how much the mineral
rights are?

Speaker 9 (13:01):
No, my question is do I take the offer or no?

Speaker 3 (13:05):
Of course not?

Speaker 2 (13:06):
Of course, Well you can, yeah, you can take the
offer and say yeah, okay, uh send it to me.
Uh Now if they ask for any information, so security number,
your nope. If they say prove who you are a nope,
you don't do that. And so you you want to
see if it's legitimate. And when you say it's a

(13:26):
legitimate company, what does that mean?

Speaker 8 (13:30):
It came back clean?

Speaker 9 (13:31):
It was you know, he was who he said he was.
It's the name of the company that weren't scams the nation.
It's a national company.

Speaker 3 (13:38):
Okay, But that doesn't mean that their policy is to
call people and say turn over your mental rights that
you don't want to do, not until no, you don't
want to do it at all. You I will which
organization do I? You know?

Speaker 7 (13:55):
I do?

Speaker 2 (13:55):
I do want to refer you to some organization, Uh,
you know, I don't know which one is, frankly, And
you get to do a little research. Maybe it's the
National Organization of People who should receive mental rights but
are not.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
Maybe that's where you go. That's where I would go.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
Of course I wouldn't find anything at all, all right, Mike, Hella, Mike,
you're up.

Speaker 8 (14:20):
Hey, Bill.

Speaker 10 (14:21):
My daughter was rear ended, her car was totaled, she
had pain for three four five days and it's since subsided.
Is she entitled anything more than just a replacement of
her car.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
Yeah, probably not a lot, not a lot. But yeah,
she's entitled. The more I think pain, it's called pain
and suffering, and yeah, I mean it's you know, she
hurt for a few days, and so you know, I
don't know a couple of thousand dollars, one thousand dollars.

Speaker 3 (14:53):
I have no idea. Is the insurance company offering any money?

Speaker 7 (14:59):
Not as so yet.

Speaker 10 (15:00):
She hasn't contacted a lawyer. She's reluctant to contact a lawyer.
Why why yet, I Bill, I couldn't tell.

Speaker 11 (15:11):
You, okay, well she doesn't want to do Then to
ask if she's okay, Well she can ask for five
thousand sure, and they're going to say no. Now what happens, yeah, okay,
then they're going to say absolutely not.

Speaker 3 (15:25):
So where do you go with this? Scott? Hello, Scott,
you've been waiting a bit.

Speaker 7 (15:30):
Welcome, Hi, Hi, thank you. Yes. In twenty twenty three,
one of the big banks, I opened a business checking
a business savings and a credit card, a corporation sea
corporation for profit. This is in twenty three. A month ago,

(15:52):
I received an invitation to open a credit line with
this bank. When I went in and applied and wanted
to open the credit line. They said, somebody internally in
the bank for whatever reason, switched the corporation to an
S corporation and nonprofit and said everything's going to be

(16:14):
have to be closed. I said, well, why not change it?
You had no authority. This person had no authority to
do it. There's no signature, there's no notification that I authorize.

Speaker 3 (16:26):
I get it. I'll get it.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
Okay, So you want them to not change it? By
the way, I think nonprofit is not an S corporation.
So they're saying that you should open up a new
account and change everything over.

Speaker 7 (16:39):
Yes, And I said, I'm not going to do it
without being compensated.

Speaker 3 (16:42):
It's a lot of fair enough, all right, So what's
your question?

Speaker 7 (16:47):
My question to you is, I've been back and forth
with the executive office. They sent me a fifty dollar
check which I haven't cashed. Do I have any legal Of.

Speaker 3 (16:58):
Course you do.

Speaker 2 (16:59):
You can say, listen, you can say I want to
be compensated and I want half a million dollars for it.
You can say whatever you want. They're gonna say no,
or what they did say, here's fifty bucks.

Speaker 3 (17:10):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (17:11):
I mean, so you want to change it. I mean,
are you really going to fight with them in terms
of I'm not changing it? And they're gonna go, okay,
we're gonna want to do it, and they're gonna say
and you're gonna say, I'm not changing it.

Speaker 3 (17:23):
So you go to another bank. That's all you know.
Why wouldn't you change it? What's the big deal about
changing it? I would you know?

Speaker 2 (17:31):
Or you can turn around, hire a lawyer and sue
them for compensation. Of course, no lawyer will take it
unless you're willing to pay six seven hundred dollars an
hour for a lawyer to get compensation because you've been
screwed to the tune of fifty thousand or one hundred
thousand dollars or twenty five thousand dollars or whatever. You say, uh,

(17:53):
and they're gonna say no, all right, too bad. That's
the way banks work, especially big national banks, are going
to tell you, you.

Speaker 3 (18:00):
Know, just switch accounts.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
Why wouldn't you if you like the bank and you
want to do the credit big deal? All you're talking
about is switching accounts within the bank. It's three forms
they're going to ask you to sign. They're not asking
you to refile your corporation. They're not asking you to do.

Speaker 3 (18:17):
Any of that.

Speaker 2 (18:18):
Just do it, sign the forms. Okay, it's just yeah.
You know if people do that, well, yeah, they shouldn't
have done it. That's right, they shouldn't have here's fifty bucks.
Now I want to talk about something that is a
problem for you, and that is your privacy or lack
of your privacy that simply doesn't exist. No, that's done.
And if you think you have privacy, you are dreaming.

(18:41):
So let me tell you what happens. Data brokers get
everything about you, your home address, where you work, where
you bank, what you buy where. It's all available out there,
court records, accident history, DMV records. That list goes on,
and because your information is out there to get, it's
collected by hundreds of data brokers and then get sold

(19:04):
to anyone who wants to buy it, including bad guys.
And there goes your data and there goes your vulnerability.
So this company called in Cogni comes into play and
fights back for you. What they do is they contact
hundreds of these data brokers and legally demand your information
to be deleted. And it has to be deleted, and

(19:26):
the hours you would take. Can you imagine the amount
of time it would take for you to contact all
those data brokers? Yeah, it's impossible data but in Cognate
does exactly that. And every time I do the show,
I log onto my Incognita account and hundreds of removals
I have been completed, hundreds more are in progress and
schedule there it is, and in Cogni well has held

(19:48):
hundreds of thousands of people. So get sixty percent off
when you use my name handle go to in Cognii,
ncog ni, in Cogni dot com slash handle in Cogni
dot com slash handle. This is handle on the law.

Speaker 10 (20:04):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty KFI handle.

Speaker 3 (20:12):
Here.

Speaker 2 (20:12):
It is a Saturday morning, and we have another hour
and a half before Rich Dumuro shows up with a
tech show. And then this afternoon from two to five,
it's Neil Savedra, my buddy who's with me Monday through Friday.

Speaker 3 (20:26):
On the morning show.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
It's the Fork Report, where all things food are being
discussed because Neil is a real foodie. That's this afternoon
two to five right here on KFI. Now, oh, the
numbers we actually have a couple of lines open. We've
been pretty good in terms of lines being full today,
but we do have lines that have opened up. The
number is eight hundred five two zero one five three

(20:50):
four eight hundred five two zero one five three four
and welcome back. Handle on the law marginal legal advice. Dawn,
it's your.

Speaker 7 (21:02):
Turn, Hey, Bill, my fiance's son got hurt pretty bad
at work. It's been three years. It will be three
years in October. The first thing I did was called
one of the local hero attorneys and he referred us
to a pretty good workman's comp attorney. The workmen's comp
case is still open. The local PI attorney bailed after
about two years. What is the limitations on hiring another

(21:25):
PI attorney?

Speaker 2 (21:26):
There's no limitations. It's the statute of limitations you're worried about.
And when did the accident happen?

Speaker 7 (21:34):
October? It will be three years in October.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
Okay, so you've got three years in which to file
the personal injury claim. Now, I'm assuming if it was
a good workers comp attorney that that statute is two years.
But I'm assuming the filing already took place, because I
can't imagine a work comp attorney blowing out of the statue.

Speaker 3 (21:53):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, on workers comp. Okay, good, good, good,
all right.

Speaker 2 (21:58):
So that being said, the accident happened at work.

Speaker 7 (22:04):
Yes, here was a cable guy standing on the side
of his truck. This kid came down on the street,
didn't hit his brakes, the speed limb of the fifty
five and hit him.

Speaker 2 (22:13):
Okay, got it. So the case, the yeah, the pa
PI cases is against the kid and the owner of
the vehicle.

Speaker 3 (22:19):
So when you talk.

Speaker 7 (22:20):
About right and the end of the company he was working.

Speaker 2 (22:24):
For, Yeah, okay, that's even better because now you have
a deep pocket there and you say he was banged
up pretty good.

Speaker 3 (22:30):
What does that mean?

Speaker 7 (22:33):
Broke us back in a couple of places?

Speaker 2 (22:35):
Okay, that's it. Stop stop stop, stop right there. You
know you can stop right there. I do not know
why a personal injury lawyer would not keep that case
unless there is no insurance. Either the company has gone bankrupt,
it maybe have no assets. Usually companies have insurance the vast,

(22:58):
vast majority. So I have no idea based on what
you say, based on the damages, based that a company
was involved. Now, if it's a kid driving his own car,
you know, and doesn't have insurance.

Speaker 3 (23:09):
That case is over.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
I mean, there's no place to go, even though the
liability is one hundred percent. And this this just looks
like where you're going to collect the money. And so
that that sounds like a decent PI case to me.
So lawyer bailed. See what the lawyers on my website
will tell you. Just go to handle on the law

(23:31):
dot com, give him a buzz or look on the internet,
and you'll get a phone number and you'll be able
to get right through, especially during the show they they're around.
Because yeah, that's that's what I would do. It's really easy.
The Oh I'm sorry, I hung up on him. See
that's what happens. Mister patient's here. Yeah, I just don't

(23:54):
have any Ted, Hello, Ted.

Speaker 6 (24:00):
A little bill? Can you hear me?

Speaker 3 (24:01):
I can Bill.

Speaker 6 (24:03):
I was a stockholder in a bank in Wyoming. The
bank merged with another bank and we were given distribution checks.
I received my first check, no problem. Now it's been
three months and everybody was entitled to a second check,
and I'm getting the run around from the law firm

(24:24):
that handled the merger. They said my check was mailed.
They said they reissued a check every time I called
the law firm in Colorado. They say, we have a
meeting about it. We have to reissue a check. I
feel like I'm getting the run around.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
Yeah you probably are. Yeah, you probably are. It sure
sounds that way.

Speaker 3 (24:44):
So big? How big is the check?

Speaker 6 (24:48):
The check? It's eight thousand dollars?

Speaker 3 (24:51):
All right?

Speaker 2 (24:52):
Reasonable money? That's reasonable. Okay, So you got to and
the firm is in Texas, right.

Speaker 6 (24:58):
No, no, I'm in Texas. I want to check mail
to Texas. The firm is in Colorado, and.

Speaker 3 (25:03):
Then okay, so all right, firm is based out of Colorado. Okay.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
One of the things you can do is sue in
Colorado in small claims court, although it's kind of a
pain to do that because you have to vile file
lawsuit in Colorado, and I don't know how small claims work.
You have to actually show up. Can you do it
via video? I have no idea, And maybe it's the
way a particular judge wants to deal with it, but
you just got to keep on. Here's what I would do,

(25:27):
because you are getting the run around. There's no question
about it. You are entitled to the check. But let's
get practical here. You do have a case, Are you
going to do anything about it? Or are you going
to keep harassing them every day and sending emails every day?

(25:49):
And at some point you say, okay, I'm gonna it's
a law firm. If it's the law firm that's dealing
with it, then you report that law firm to the
state bar. They're every state has a has a division
the state bar does receiving complaints and they investigate them.
In the state of California, for example, it's not Colorado. Obviously,

(26:11):
in the state of California, every complaint to the state
bar is investigated. They open up a file and now
they're going to ask Now you have a state bar
investigator is going to ask the law firm what is
going on.

Speaker 3 (26:28):
What you want to do is you've.

Speaker 2 (26:30):
Probably done it all by phone calls, right as opposed
to emails.

Speaker 6 (26:34):
I've been keeping an email record just like oh.

Speaker 3 (26:37):
Good, good, good, good good.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
Now, and and you send and you send whatever investigative
arm of the state bar that that exists that is
investigating the case. And you say, you make a complaint
whatever form, and they'll send you a complaint it's available,
or tell you online where to go. And you then
simply complain and add those emails to the complaint.

Speaker 3 (27:04):
You attach that.

Speaker 2 (27:05):
That is what you do after calling and calling and calling,
or you do that now although three months you know,
sometimes you know they're going to say we've tried. Uh
And that's the investigator is going to say, yeah, you know,
that's long enough, depending on who does it.

Speaker 3 (27:22):
But that's what I would do as a matter of fact.

Speaker 6 (27:23):
I I file immediately, Okay, okay, yeah, and my claim
is with the law firm, not necessarily the banks that merge.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
You file against both. Now the bank, who are going
to complain to the bank, to the fd i C. Yeah,
you can do that. So you complain, you have a
complaint form of the fdi C. They're not going to
do anything, but you might. You might as well put
that on the record. And it's the law firm. Now,
the law firm is going to argue, we can we
can only advise, so we can't issue the check. We

(27:52):
can't force the bank to issue the check. But the
fact that they're jerking you around, see what here's what
they're going to say is there the company is telling
us that they're issuing in the check, and what can
they do? So you pretty well, you still go after
the law firm just to give them some grief and

(28:13):
then hopefully they put pressure on the company that's the
issue or the bank that's issuing the check. Yeah, it's
one of those things where it's really not fine. You
get caught up in banks, particularly in mergers. Things fall
through the cracks all the time, and the old squeaky
wheel rule comes into place.

Speaker 3 (28:33):
Now.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
A problem that I have had that I want to
share with you that you may or probably will have,
and that's putting a loved one. In this case was
my mom into an assisted living facility. I had no
idea where to go, so I put her into one
near my house and that didn't work out at all.
So I had to put her in another location and
that one barely worked out. So that was a double nightmare.

(28:56):
I didn't know where to go. So let me ask you,
do you know where to go? So if you're putting
your senior loved one into an assisted living facility, probably not.
So you have to research it, you have to search,
you have to evaluate, you have to decide, and that
takes an enormous amount of time. Well SLC Placement does
that for you. They do the research. Uh, they find
the place that works for you, and there's no charge

(29:20):
for that service. And this is serious stuff because you're
looking at spending six to nine thousand dollars a month
to keep your loved one in one of those facilities.

Speaker 3 (29:29):
So it was on me.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
It was a nightmare two times. So I'm going to
suggest you contact SLC Placement. They're going to find the
right home for your loved one. As I said, no
cost to you. Call eight eight eight two three three

Uh Marine Hello, Marine, Yes, Hello, yes, ma'am.

Speaker 7 (30:28):
All right.

Speaker 8 (30:28):
I have an adult son who had a kind of
a freak accident playing disc golf through a frisbee really
hard backtop to everybody heard it, and he's an excruciating pain.
So you know I'm going home, goe an is it?
And then he started becoming numbs from the waist down.
Got scared, called his insurance because he's he's unemployed at

(30:50):
the time and worried about cost of medical They tell him, hey,
you know, this sounds like a medical emergency. You need
to get in safe. He sounds like hata aquina. They
recommended a specific hospital that's covered by his insurance and
that is a final specialist. We went. I stayed with

(31:13):
him the entire time, never saw a doctor. They did
do an MRI and he was having issues with ball
and bladder and while he was in the bathroom I
kind of went up to the nurses station and said, hey,
when are we going to see a doctor? This is
starting to get really concerning. And she says, oh, well,
you know they're going to do the MRI. They'll have results.

(31:36):
So about twelve thirty at night, we get the head
nurse comes in says, well, you know, the doctor reviewed
the MRI says you don't have all the symptoms. Just
go on home and follow up tomorrow. Make an appointment.
He calls the next day, it's closed for good Friday.
He goes through the weekend. He's getting really really worried.

(32:00):
On Monday, they say they can't see him for two months.
I said, this was baloney.

Speaker 2 (32:04):
You need Yeah, it is because that is a very
serious issue. My ex wife had that issue. She was
in surgery almost immediately. I mean it is, no, yeah,
that's no small deal.

Speaker 3 (32:18):
Hey, I have a question.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
You're talking me, you're talking about hold on, you're talking
about a hospital that has a trauma center that's closed
on Good Friday.

Speaker 8 (32:26):
No, no, no, the hospital is open. We were there
for nine and a half hours. Okay, room never got
examined by a doctor.

Speaker 3 (32:34):
Okay, I understand, Okay, I got it. So what's your question?

Speaker 8 (32:39):
Okay, So question is he ends up going into a
different hospital, has the emergency surgery. They're telling them. You know,
that's really unfortunate. You've gone it's usually twenty four to
forty eight hour window. They did it just skeet to
me where they removed a sizeable amount.

Speaker 3 (32:57):
No, I understand, there was a lot of a lot
of medical issues that occurred. So what again, what's your What's.

Speaker 8 (33:02):
Your question is, yes, he's luck with permanent Okay.

Speaker 3 (33:06):
Got it.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
Okay, it's based on what you say, it sounds like
there was malpractice there. It sounds like that it was
such a serious back injury that you can become paralyzed
very easily.

Speaker 3 (33:18):
From I mean, this is really serious stuff.

Speaker 2 (33:22):
So based on what you said, you instantly need a
medical malpractice attorney.

Speaker 3 (33:26):
I mean instantly, because.

Speaker 2 (33:29):
You know it's a It sounds like unfortunately, it's a
terrific case. If I'm a lawyer, I'm going, oh, yeah,
this is good. The only thing that could be better
is him losing.

Speaker 8 (33:42):
And they said that and they didn't take it.

Speaker 2 (33:44):
All right, so you got another one, which is kind
of surprising why they didn't take it. So just because
one lawyer doesn't take it, another one does. Because this
is a complicated case, Uh, it's probably going to go
to trial, and if it settles, it's going to.

Speaker 3 (33:59):
Be a long time. There are a lot of expenses.

Speaker 2 (34:01):
Medical experts have to be brought in, and the law
firm pace for those medical experts. It takes a long
time to develop it. It's expensive, and it could be
that the firm you went to just isn't prepared to
do a case like that.

Speaker 3 (34:18):
Happens all the time.

Speaker 2 (34:20):
So I'm going to go to the website, go to
handle on the law dot com Again, it only does
personal injury, but it knows all the medical malpractice people
out there, and it seems like you're going to need
a top a top notch medical mal attorney because, as
I've said, this is a case that's not going to
roll over. This is the case that is not going

(34:41):
to settle quickly. This is the case based on what
you said, the injuries are astronomical, So you're talking.

Speaker 3 (34:52):
Okay, well yeah, but that's still okay. I get that.
So he's not paralyzed. My ex was paralyzed.

Speaker 2 (34:59):
She was put in a wa wheel chair and it
took her over a year to learn relearn how to walk,
and the doctor said she's never going to walk, and
she ended up doing that and she went to trial,
but she filed too late. This is way before I
met her, and she filed too late and got nailed,
just got nailed because she didn't have that kind of

(35:20):
an attorney. She had one of those attorneys who sort
of does kind and didn't have the expertise, didn't have
the money. So go to the website, go to handle
on the law dot com and they'll refer you to
a lawyer because based on what you said, I can't
imagine you not having a case. Tell you what else
you think you have a case? Right when your privacy

(35:44):
gets violated?

Speaker 3 (35:46):
Yeah? What privacy?

Speaker 2 (35:47):
It doesn't exist really because everything about you is online,
home address, where you work, where you bank, what you buy,
where you buy it, court records, accident history, insurance company,
claims your DMV and oh, your credit score.

Speaker 3 (36:00):
I mean I could go on forever. And so it's
all out there.

Speaker 2 (36:04):
And because your information is out there, it's collected by
hundreds of data brokers who then sell it to anyone
who wants to buy your information and your data and
more importantly, your privacy is gone. So this is where
in Cogni comes into play and simply fights back for you.
What they do is they contact hundreds of these data

(36:24):
brokers and legally demand your information be deleted. Now are
you going to contact hundreds You are not, But in
Cognate does, and they well, let me put it this way.
