Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
Speaker 1: six forty.
Speaker 2: Five AM six forty handle.
Speaker 3: Here it is a Saturday Morning quick announcement that today
Speaker 3: from two to five o'clock, Neil Savedra with the Fork
Speaker 3: Report will be broadcasting in mission via HO at the Wendy's.
Speaker 3: And this is for pastathon, raising money of course for
Speaker 3: Katarina's Club, the charity that we support feeding the Kids.
Speaker 3: And so it's Wendy's and Mission via HO on Alicia
Speaker 3: Parkway two three zero two two actually, and I will
Speaker 3: be there inviting you to join both Neil and inviting
Speaker 3: you to join me at the Wendy's in mission via
Speaker 3: HO starting at two o'clock.
Speaker 2: Now, let me give you some phone numbers.
Speaker 3: We actually have had phone numbers, but we have lines
Speaker 3: open eight hundred five two zero one five to three
Speaker 3: four eight hundred five two zero one nine. I'm sorry
Speaker 3: one five three four eight hundred five two zero one
Speaker 3: five three four. You think I know the number by now,
Speaker 3: I've been only giving it out for over thirty years.
Speaker 2: This is Handle on the law, marginal.
Speaker 3: Legal advice, where I tell you you have no case whatsoever.
Speaker 2: I'm a big fan of Costco.
Speaker 3: And I've often said, and this is true, that Costco
Speaker 3: is fanatic about the quality of its products. I mean
Speaker 3: absolutely fanatics. I buy meat there, I buy clothing there.
Speaker 3: I mean it's good, good stuff. So this lawsuit kind of,
Speaker 3: you know, took me for a loop, and it's a
Speaker 3: new lawsuit alleges that some of Costco's Kirkland brand, that's
Speaker 3: their house brand, Kirkland brand tequila and advertises premium tequila. Well,
Speaker 3: the lawsuit said, uh ah, not premium. That the tequila
Speaker 3: brands that Kirkland says its own brand are premium and
Speaker 3: contain or claim to contain only alcohol distilled from the
Speaker 3: blue aguave or agave plant, actually includes other lesser quality alcohols.
Speaker 3: And the lawsuits said that tests found that some of
Speaker 3: these Kirkland brand tequilas were so adulterated they didn't even
Speaker 3: qualify as tequila under Mexican law. And you have to
Speaker 3: have a certain amount of tequila from this plant in
Speaker 3: order for it to.
Speaker 2: Be called tequila. Well, this is a problem.
Speaker 3: So the claim is of deceptive marketing, duping American consumers
Speaker 3: and even outrage Mexican aguave farmers because it's their product
Speaker 3: that is used to produce tequila. Now, Mexican law allows
Speaker 3: tequila to contain up to forty nine percent of alcohol
Speaker 3: from non aguave sources like sugar or corn syrup. How however,
Speaker 3: the part products made from one hundred percent a gave
Speaker 3: command a much higher price than are sold in the US.
Speaker 3: And the lawsuit says that Kirkland says it's one hundred
Speaker 3: percent agave and it turned out, according to their tests
Speaker 3: and the lawsuit not to be. And that's the scepti
Speaker 3: deceptive marketing. Boy, this this really did take me for
Speaker 3: a loop because I shop at Costco all the time
Speaker 3: and I'm a big fan. Okay, let's go ahead and
Speaker 3: take some phone calls. Let me see Robert's been there
Speaker 3: for a while. Hi, Robert, welcome to handle on the law. Yes, Robert, Okay, Robert,
Speaker 3: are you on to speak?
Speaker 2: Are you? Are you on a speakerphone?
Speaker 4: No, I'm not.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's some reason it's better now, Okay, go ahead.
Speaker 4: I was charging the font probably yeah, my ls my
Speaker 4: LLC in twenty sixty I started in June twenty sixteen,
Speaker 4: and I was told by my text guy, I don't
Speaker 4: have to pay the eight tendred dollars for the five
Speaker 4: sixty eight.
Speaker 2: I have no idea what a five sixty eight days?
Speaker 2: What does that mean?
Speaker 4: Well, it's a limited liability company for return of income.
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course you have to pay littal lcs. You
Speaker 2: pay eight hundred bucks minimum state tax.
Speaker 4: No matter what, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 3: Then it doesn't matter what the business is.
Speaker 2: If it is a business and you have an LLC,
Speaker 2: you have to pay.
Speaker 3: You got horrible advice, You got horrible advice.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I have to pay the back penalties.
Speaker 3: Yes you do, Yes, you plus penalties plus US penalties
Speaker 3: plus interest.
Speaker 4: Yep, that's exactly what I was told to do it.
Speaker 4: I don't know what.
Speaker 2: Okay, just wrap it up.
Speaker 3: Just you know, there's no place to collect taxes if there's.
Speaker 2: No company there.
Speaker 4: Thank you so much.
Speaker 3: Being all right, unless they can go back to the owner,
Speaker 3: and I don't think they can. I don't believe they can.
Speaker 3: How are we doing for time?
Speaker 2: We're good? Hey, Patrick, you're up. Welcome to handle on
Speaker 2: the law bill.
Speaker 5: My brother passed away seven months ago and he had
Speaker 5: a trust that I and several others are named as inheritors,
Speaker 5: and the trust is and can not find assets to
Speaker 5: cover their inheritance and it's not mentioning sense to me
Speaker 5: because it was a partner in a prominent major law.
Speaker 3: Okay, so the trustee, the trustee says there aren't enough
Speaker 3: assets to even distribute to the beneficiaries, correct, right, Okay, Well,
Speaker 3: and you're saying that the trust door had a big business.
Speaker 3: Do you know if that business was in the name
Speaker 3: of the trust or was it as an individual it was,
Speaker 3: then the trust has nothing to do with it.
Speaker 2: Then the trust has nothing to do with it.
Speaker 3: And it's quite possible that there is no money in
Speaker 3: the trust. The only way that you're entitled to the
Speaker 3: money as a beneficiary of the trust, there has to
Speaker 3: be something in the trust, and which you're telling me
Speaker 3: there's nothing.
Speaker 2: In the trust.
Speaker 3: So what you have is you have a will that's
Speaker 3: going to control and if you don't have a will,
Speaker 3: then you file something called an intestate probate, which means
Speaker 3: there's no will. And now the children of the of the.
Speaker 2: The owner of the property. Uh the.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to get the words correctly, the owner of
Speaker 3: the property who is no longer alive. So it's the
Speaker 3: beneficiaries are the children. If there is a wife, it's
Speaker 3: the wife and the children. And if it turns out
Speaker 3: none of those are alive, then it goes to a brother.
Speaker 3: Then it goes to a cousin. Who it's in line,
Speaker 3: whoever is closest to the guys.
Speaker 5: Who's leaving their buddy. There's several people named beneficiaries.
Speaker 2: Under what under what?
Speaker 5: Under the trust there is.
Speaker 3: No money in the trust, Patrick, there is no money
Speaker 3: in the trust to distribute if the property was not
Speaker 3: put into the trust, there is no money in the trust.
Speaker 5: Well, he was a hired lawyer.
Speaker 2: I don't care. I don't care. I don't care.
Speaker 3: Did he And I keep on asking you did he
Speaker 3: put anything in the trust?
Speaker 5: I don't know?
Speaker 3: Okay, thank you? All right, that was the question. Congratulations,
Speaker 3: the big mazeletove to you. Oh God, I love this.
Speaker 3: When that happens. I asked questions, and what ends up happening?
Speaker 2: All right? Skip? Hello, Skip? Oh, just go ahead. We'll
Speaker 2: take a break and then we'll come back to Skip.
Speaker 3: I want to make sure to have enough time to
Speaker 3: answer your question without bailing out on you.

Speaker 3: Saturday morning, Welcome back. Handle on the law. Marginal legal
Speaker 3: advice okay, skip, Now we'll go to you.
Speaker 2: Yes, skip, What can I do for you?
Speaker 6: Bill? I moved to a new town and opened a
Speaker 6: department store charge card and spent one hundred and forty dollars.
Speaker 6: The first bill arrived late because they sent it to
Speaker 6: my previous address. I paid the bill off in full.
Speaker 6: When the second bill arrived that had a late fee
Speaker 6: because I had missed the date because of the address
Speaker 6: mix up, I called them up and asked them to
Speaker 6: refund the late fee, which they said they would do.
Speaker 6: I got a third bill with a thirty five dollars
Speaker 6: outstanding balance because instead of the fifty dollars late fee,
Speaker 6: they only refunded fifteen dollars. On top of that, I
Speaker 6: got another fifty dollars late fee, So now I owe
Speaker 6: them eighty five dollars for ye Hey, let.
Speaker 2: Me ask you something that I yeah, let me ask
Speaker 2: you something.
Speaker 3: Why you know after the first one, why don't you
Speaker 3: just why didn't Jesus cancel the card and pay it
Speaker 3: off and then move on? Because you're talking about three
Speaker 3: times four times? And now you're owed eighty five dollars?
Speaker 2: Correct, right?
Speaker 6: I didn't hold it. When they get it, I get it.
Speaker 2: They screwed you, So I understand. So they screwed you.
Speaker 3: You over, I get it. So now let me ask
Speaker 3: you something. It's for eighty five dollars. Ye, Are you
Speaker 3: prepared to spend all day in court and wait, uh,
Speaker 3: I don't know six hours?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 6: But are they gonna keep charging me every month? Another?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: Because you're canceling the card?
Speaker 6: Oh base, I canceled? Do I still have to pay
Speaker 6: the late fees?
Speaker 2: Well, theoretically you do, but they're gonna drop it. Okay,
Speaker 2: they're they're not gonna go after you.
Speaker 8: Now.
Speaker 2: They may tag you.
Speaker 3: They may tag you and your credit and then let
Speaker 3: me ask you something. Is your credit and maintaining your
Speaker 3: credit worth eighty five bucks?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 3: They're they're liable based on what you said. They screwed you.
Speaker 2: I get it.
Speaker 3: You'll probably win in court. You'll probably win eighty five dollars. Now,
Speaker 3: I can't even begin to tell you what hassle you're
Speaker 3: gonna have to collect eighty five bucks.
Speaker 6: Well, I don't want to collect it. I just don't
Speaker 6: want to pay it because I don't.
Speaker 3: Okay, then, walking, but your credit is going to be
Speaker 3: your credit is going to be affected, and you're probably
Speaker 3: gonna lose eighty points one hundred points? Is that worth
Speaker 3: eighty five bucks?
Speaker 2: What I would do? I would just pay it and
Speaker 2: walk away for eighty five dollars.
Speaker 3: I don't want to spend all day in court and
Speaker 3: I don't want to collect the money or I or
Speaker 3: the judge say you don't owe the money.
Speaker 2: I mean for me.
Speaker 3: But it's you know, it depends. I mean, it's one
Speaker 3: of those things where you know, I mean I think
Speaker 3: you're gonna win. I think you're gonna win. Let me
Speaker 3: ask you something.
Speaker 2: How much is eighty five dollars affect your life?
Speaker 6: It doesn't, okay?
Speaker 3: So now how much would a drop of one hundred
Speaker 3: points in your credit affect your life?
Speaker 6: Probably somewhat?
Speaker 2: Okay, there's the answer.
Speaker 6: Is it worth another?
Speaker 10: Call?
Speaker 6: As it worth another?
Speaker 2: First of all, you canceled, You cancel the card immediately, okay,
Speaker 2: And then you.
Speaker 3: Start calling, well then you then you start calling them
Speaker 3: for them to drop the eighty five bucks, and you
Speaker 3: just keep on going and going. But yeah, you don't
Speaker 3: want to deal with them anymore. You know, it's a
Speaker 3: question of practicality. And this happens all the time. Yeah
Speaker 3: they oh yeah, or yeah you're in the right. So
Speaker 3: how do you get from A to B, especially when
Speaker 3: C is going to end up costing you buckets of.
Speaker 2: Time, if not money. Jenny, Hi, Jenny, welcome, Hi Bill.
Speaker 8: I have a question. So I hear that the dj
Speaker 8: is sue in California because they allowed undocumented immigrants to
Speaker 8: have free tuition, and I want to know how do
Speaker 8: I sign up to be a witness because I was
Speaker 8: a victim of that and it ticks me off at
Speaker 8: the time. Is still no understand Okay.
Speaker 3: I get it. Yeah, you don't sign up with the
Speaker 3: State of Californi or the DOJ to be a witness.
Speaker 3: There isn't the list where Okay, Jenny is number fifteen
Speaker 3: on the list, we'll go to her right after we
Speaker 3: owe to number fourteen. It's not like you go to
Speaker 3: the deli and you pull a number or the bakery
Speaker 3: and you pull a number and you're up next. What
Speaker 3: you can do is contact the DOJ and say, do
Speaker 3: you want a witness? I have been a victim or
Speaker 3: they're just going after the people that are because of
Speaker 3: the records. But Jenny, you don't sign up to be
Speaker 3: a witness. It doesn't work that way. If they want
Speaker 3: you as a witness. They'll contact you.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: There have been cases where a witness has come forward
Speaker 3: and said I can bring some information that you can do.
Speaker 2: But it's not a list.
Speaker 3: It's just you come to the table and say, I
Speaker 3: can be a witness. Now can you help them? I
Speaker 3: have no idea. I'm sure they have plenty, plenty, plenty
Speaker 3: of witnesses.
Speaker 2: Okay, here we go. Mike, Hello, Mike, welcome.
Speaker 4: Bill.
Speaker 2: Yes, hey, you're a speaker phone.
Speaker 11: I'm sorry, listen to question. I'm the victim of aggravator
Speaker 11: soul of the firearm. Obviously they're going to plead the
Speaker 11: defendant instead of going to trial. Does the judge know
Speaker 11: what the plea offer is to the defendant before he
Speaker 11: sentences or does he find out way in jail the sentence?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, the court has to okay it. The court
Speaker 3: has to determine that it is a good plea. And
Speaker 3: sometimes the court says no, it's too lenient and I'm
Speaker 3: not going to allow it. Usually that's the case. The
Speaker 3: court says no, and but the judges won't wear it.
Speaker 11: It's going to be done behind closed doors.
Speaker 12: I mean.
Speaker 2: You didn't, okay. So so for some reason it was sealed.
Speaker 2: I get it.
Speaker 3: Maybe a miner is involved or whatever, or the defendant
Speaker 3: asked for it to be sealed, and that we're behind
Speaker 3: closed doors. And I mean the court to come up
Speaker 3: with a good reason for that, because.
Speaker 11: Court, the state attorney wants to have the meeting with
Speaker 11: me to consult with me about the plea agreement before
Speaker 11: you know, they're supposed to do that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, they do that because they now go to
Speaker 2: the victimy. They now go to.
Speaker 11: Case I have a separate case as a defendant with
Speaker 11: a marijuana possession charge, and they want the public defender
Speaker 11: to be present in the meeting when they explain to
Speaker 11: me the plea agreement for the other case Ramavika.
Speaker 4: Why they want the public defender there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, so you're not paying for the public defender,
Speaker 3: so what do you care.
Speaker 11: I just don't know why they're trying to tie the
Speaker 11: two cases together.
Speaker 13: They part in different issues.
Speaker 2: No idea, but you get to find out it's not
Speaker 2: going to cost you anything, okay, thanks to the public
Speaker 2: defender is going.
Speaker 3: To be there, and the fact that the prosecutor wants
Speaker 3: you in, wants to consult, or wants you to consult
Speaker 3: because now they take the victim into account. They want
Speaker 3: the input of the victim to determine how long the
Speaker 3: plea deal is going to be. Uh, and what terms
Speaker 3: of the plea deal. And the judge has to sign
Speaker 3: off on it.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 2: So you know, Urie, and you're in good shape.
Speaker 3: And it could be that the prosecution says, tell you what,
Speaker 3: we're going to drop the brejuana charge if you agree that.
Speaker 11: Over here, I've pissed off the state attorney. I'm not
Speaker 11: her favorite victim in the world, and I think she's
Speaker 11: not going to prosecute it aggressively.
Speaker 3: Could be, could be, Yeah, that happens. You know now
Speaker 3: what it happens. Uh, they can do that and they
Speaker 3: do do that.
Speaker 2: Roxy. Hi, Roxy, Hello, Roxy are you there?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 8: How are you?
Speaker 2: Yes, ma'am? What can I do for you?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 12: I have a malpractice to my idea.
Speaker 4: I had.
Speaker 12: Surgery in my back. Is a nerve is shoe and
Speaker 12: the fourth surgery that they did it on me, it
Speaker 12: made me paralyzed. So and the doctor was saying, well,
Speaker 12: I opened up your back and I see a lot
Speaker 12: of scarring.
Speaker 2: Okay, Roxy, you can stop.
Speaker 12: Paralyzed.
Speaker 2: Stop right there, Roxy, you could stop.
Speaker 12: Makay therapy.
Speaker 2: Just keep on talking, but no guarantee that one of
Speaker 2: these last week where the caller just wouldn't shut up.
Speaker 2: I mean your health.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I understand, yes, whatever the answer is, yes, absolutely,
Speaker 3: Are you ready to listen to me? No kidding, it
Speaker 3: was a bad connection. You can't hear me even a
Speaker 3: little bit. Okay, But before I take a break, I'm
Speaker 3: want to tell you about Zelman's Zelman's Minty mint or
Speaker 3: minty mouth. And I've been telling you about Zelmons now
Speaker 3: for way over a year, and I've known the people
Speaker 3: at Zelmons for over thirty years. They're actually good friends
Speaker 3: of mine, So I have no problem telling you about Zelmons.
Speaker 3: Zelmons is way more than just a mint. This is
Speaker 3: about your bad breath. And you know, bad breath comes
Speaker 3: from your mouth with the foods you eat, the garlic,
Speaker 3: the onions, the morning breath, the coffee breath. But Zelman's
Speaker 3: also works in your stomach because bad breath can actually
Speaker 3: come from the stomach, and it does very often because
Speaker 3: the foods you eat, the garlic, the onions, It's guess
Speaker 3: where it lands in your stomach and the burning and
Speaker 3: the churning and the acids and so You've got two
Speaker 3: places where bad breath can start and stay. One is
Speaker 3: in your mouth. You know about that. The other one
Speaker 3: is in your stomach and you may not know about that.
Speaker 3: And Zelmans takes care of both. The MINTI coating on
Speaker 3: these capsules you put in your mouth and you suck
Speaker 3: on the mint.
Speaker 2: When that's gone, you either bite into or.
Speaker 3: You swallow these capsules and then they go to work
Speaker 3: in your gut. And boy, nothing works like Zelman's. There's
Speaker 3: no mint in the world that deals with that. And
Speaker 3: until December, tewod for Katerina's Club, our charity which we
Speaker 3: feed the kids.
Speaker 2: Zelmans will.
Speaker 3: Give a portion of their sales to Katerina's Club so
Speaker 3: you can help feed the kids. And I've been saying,
Speaker 3: if you don't buy Zelmans, the kids are going to starve,
Speaker 3: and if you do buy Selmans They're gonna get some money.
Speaker 3: So it's up to you. You want kids to go hungry,
Speaker 3: you want starving kids. You want to look at yourself
Speaker 3: in the mirror and say you, because of you, kids
Speaker 3: are starving. That's why you want to buy Zelman's. So
Speaker 3: go to Zelmans dot com. Oh God, do people take
Speaker 3: me seriously? Zelman's dot com Z E L M I
Speaker 3: N S. Zelmans dot com. This is Handle on the Law.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from kf I

Speaker 3: is Handle on the Law Mark Legal Advice. Hello, Devin, Devin,
Speaker 3: you're up.
Speaker 13: Hey, what's going on?
Speaker 7: Bill?
Speaker 6: Good morning, my brother.
Speaker 7: I've been calling you for the past two years about
Speaker 7: the uninhabitable living conditions.
Speaker 9: You don't give you enough.
Speaker 7: You don't give yourself enough credit for the marginal legal advice.
Speaker 7: I just wanted to call you and let you know
Speaker 7: that we settled in mediation two hundred and eighty five
Speaker 7: thousand dollars. Thank you, okay, legal advice bill.
Speaker 3: Based on my legal advice, you settle for two hundred
Speaker 3: and eighty five thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: Now, you would think you would think that I would
Speaker 3: be thrilled that I gave you advice, that you actually
Speaker 3: settled for buckets of money.
Speaker 14: Uh and uh.
Speaker 2: You know, a normal person would be thrilled for you, Devin.
Speaker 3: Someone would say, well, this is what I do, and
Speaker 3: I'm thrilled to death that you got the money.
Speaker 2: But I won't be doing that.
Speaker 3: I'm going to simply say congratulations, I'm glad you got
Speaker 3: some money. And by the way, when I give legal advice,
Speaker 3: and out of the legal advice comes something extraordinary like
Speaker 3: I do. Remember, Devin, this was a case of an
Speaker 3: inhabitability and he ended up with two hundred and eighty
Speaker 3: five thousand bucks. Good advice, and at the end you
Speaker 3: have a real good settlement. Those are usually mutually exclusive.
Speaker 3: They generally are not the same thing. Go figure all right, Daphne,
Speaker 3: you're up. Welcome to handle on the law.
Speaker 2: Hi, good morning.
Speaker 13: Can you hear me?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 2: I can?
Speaker 5: All right, good morning.
Speaker 13: My question is, well, for the past eighteen months, I've
Speaker 13: had neurological symptoms, vision issues, numbness, weakness, and a possible
Speaker 13: stoke or MS. What they've said, but also what Kaiser's
Speaker 13: giving me. They've never given me a clear diagnosis as
Speaker 13: to what if I have multiple sclerosis. Basically after this all.
Speaker 15: These multiple MRIs hospital visits and now they're saying it
Speaker 15: stress and I'm asking my question is with a delay
Speaker 15: in diagnosis, is that's something that can be considered medical
Speaker 15: mouth practice?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 3: Sometimes yeah, but when you're talking about neurological problems, neurological
Speaker 3: problems are so complex.
Speaker 2: There's so much that goes.
Speaker 3: Into You can have many different problems that all culminate
Speaker 3: in these neurological problems MS, and then you have it
Speaker 3: or you don't have it, depending on the testing, depending
Speaker 3: on who's giving the diagnosis. It is probably not malpractice
Speaker 3: because there really is no cure for neurological problems. That's
Speaker 3: one of the medical problems out there. Now. My wife
Speaker 3: has something called CRPS, Complex Regional pain syndrome, which is
Speaker 3: a neurological disease. It's autoimmune and it affects her nerves,
Speaker 3: and she has been to dozens of different doctors and
Speaker 3: therapies and they can't figure out and there is no
Speaker 3: malpractice there. Now, you may want to talk to a
Speaker 3: medical malpractice attorney to get some advice, since I am
Speaker 3: not one, even though I play one on radio, so
Speaker 3: I'm not going to tell you. I don't know enough
Speaker 3: enough about your case to even know if there's a
Speaker 3: men and mal case there. But usually when you have
Speaker 3: neurological issues, it's they're not easy unless the doctor does
Speaker 3: a surgery and cuts the nerve. Okay, there it is surgery,
Speaker 3: nerve neurological problems, got it. But other than that, I
Speaker 3: think you're going to have a tough time. But I
Speaker 3: would still contact a med male attorney just to see
Speaker 3: if there's anything there, and if the first one says no,
Speaker 3: I would do at least one more and then you're
Speaker 3: probably gonna go through some testing if he thinks that
Speaker 3: that's appropriate, and you're not gonna go to court, You're
Speaker 3: gonna do an arbitration with Kaiser, and that's the way
Speaker 3: it works with almost every every single on medical practitioner. Okay, Peter, Hi, Peter,
Speaker 3: you're up.
Speaker 2: Welcome, Hey, how you doing?
Speaker 4: Bill love the show, Thank you.
Speaker 10: I'm a little nervous, little nervous. Let me get to
Speaker 10: the point. Well, my income is it goes up and down,
Speaker 10: up and down to the whole year. Okay, self employed.
Speaker 10: I have a disabled son that goes to the hospital
Speaker 10: every maybe like two three times a year. She's one
Speaker 10: specialist a year, so it's like two three times a year.
Speaker 10: He's on medical. Now, my wife, we're gonna inherit two
Speaker 10: properties that are paid for and LC with some money.
Speaker 10: Is that gonna fake my medical.
Speaker 2: Okay, hold on a minute. How old is your son?
Speaker 10: Twelve?
Speaker 2: Twelve? Yeah, it's going to affect it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because you're responsible and for him to get it,
Speaker 3: and you I can't afford it because you are responsible
Speaker 3: to pay for it.
Speaker 2: They take that into account. Yeah, they take that into account.
Speaker 3: You know. The only way you get the only way
Speaker 3: you get free anything from the state is you have
Speaker 3: to be broke. And you're not going to be broke.
Speaker 3: How much you're gonna inherit. How much you're you gonna inherit?
Speaker 3: My friend, Actually you're not about what about two hundred Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: you're gonna be responsible. Uh yeah, that's that's no fun.
Speaker 3: But that's uh, that's the way it works. I mean people,
Speaker 3: all of these plans, like medical which is the California
Speaker 3: version of Medicare or Medicaid, is predicated on the fact
Speaker 3: that there's no money to pay pay for it, so
Speaker 3: the state ends up paying for it. And if there
Speaker 3: is money to pay for it, the state does not
Speaker 3: pay for it. All right, we have some minds open.
Speaker 3: The number is eight hundred five two zero one five
Speaker 3: three four. Eight hundred five two zero one five three four.

Speaker 3: On the law marginal legal advice where I tell you
Speaker 3: you have absolutely no case.
Speaker 2: Hey Max, Welcome.
Speaker 14: Max, Yes, sir, Yeah, how are you doing in the
Speaker 14: owner of Neil Savedra today at Wendy's?
Speaker 16: Can I do a really quick Neil impression?
Speaker 5: Sure?
Speaker 2: Why not?
Speaker 4: Okay?
Speaker 5: Hey, Neil?
Speaker 14: Are you there?
Speaker 9: Hey buddy, what's going on? I'm overlooking shaves Ravine. I
Speaker 9: have my American vision windows. Bill and Kathleen were over
Speaker 9: here yesterday and I'm giving out something very nostalgic today.
Speaker 9: I'm giving away at the Wendy's uh gigantic fork signed
Speaker 9: by twelve different chefs.
Speaker 2: Okay, Max, score Max, Max, that was god awful.
Speaker 3: That could have been the worst impression I have ever
Speaker 3: heard in my life of anybody.
Speaker 2: So let's move forward with your question please.
Speaker 10: Okay.
Speaker 16: So I already got an extension for a traffic ticket.
Speaker 16: They gave me three months, but it's coming up in
Speaker 16: about a week or so. So I know there's a
Speaker 16: loophole because you can't go in there and ask for
Speaker 16: a second one. The first one they'll give it to you,
Speaker 16: but the second one, I think there's like a different process.
Speaker 16: I'm wondering what you if you knew as.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, I don't know of any loophole. You can
Speaker 3: ask for a second extension. I've done that before. You
Speaker 3: come up with a good reason for it, and you
Speaker 3: can either do it by email, you can call them
Speaker 3: if you really want to almost guarantee it. You walk
Speaker 3: in there and you say, I've got this problem. My
Speaker 3: fake leg is falling off and I've got an appointment
Speaker 3: to redo it. Or you know, my dog is dying,
Speaker 3: or my wife is she has cancer and she probably
Speaker 3: won't make it, and the cleric will go, well are
Speaker 3: you married? Well, no, not really. You come up with
Speaker 3: some kind of excuse and there's a very good chance
Speaker 3: you'll get it.
Speaker 2: I got it.
Speaker 3: Now Here is a dirty little secret, and that is,
Speaker 3: since we're close enough to the holidays, if they give
Speaker 3: you an extension, then you say, can I please have
Speaker 3: the date between Christmas and New Year the courts are open,
Speaker 3: but no judge in the world has an open court,
Speaker 3: because the judge decides when his or her court is open.
Speaker 3: If you can get that between those two dates and
Speaker 3: you can ask for it, it's a virtual guarantee you
Speaker 3: are going to be okay, you certainly do that with,
Speaker 3: by the way, jury summons, so you can ask and
Speaker 3: sometimes they say yes, sometimes they say no. Come up
Speaker 3: with a reason, you know, I mean, these are human beings.
Speaker 3: Sometimes they are okay. Always works with jury summons, by
Speaker 3: the way, that's what I do. Oh right, Hey, Michael,
Speaker 3: you're up.
Speaker 2: Welcome to handle on the law.
Speaker 17: Yes, hi, Bill, thanks Ma.
Speaker 4: Answer my question.
Speaker 17: It's a two part question.
Speaker 2: You got to speak a little louder because I'm having
Speaker 2: a hard time here.
Speaker 17: You go ahead, Michael, Okay, can you hear me better now?
Speaker 2: Yeah? A little better? Yeah, yeah, okay.
Speaker 17: So three is I'm going to I'm trying to resolve
Speaker 17: some divisions and retirement accounts from a divorce. And there
Speaker 17: are four accounts of my wife's name. We were supposed
Speaker 17: to hire, we were supposed to join and retaining what
Speaker 17: they call a quadro attorney to help us divide these accounts. Yes,
Speaker 17: I needs to be tried to start the process, and
Speaker 17: my wife didn't want to do it. And so then
Speaker 17: all of a sudden, I get a letter from her
Speaker 17: attorney saying that she retained her to take care of
Speaker 17: this issue. And so what happens is I they do
Speaker 17: they do a current market value of the accounts. So
Speaker 17: the the quad attorney you know.
Speaker 4: Provided me this valuation that the uh, the.
Speaker 17: Guy did for the accounts, and uh he showed what
Speaker 17: happens to the four accounts. So the evaluation showed one account.
Speaker 17: They showed a rollover value for the other three others.
Speaker 2: I don't care. I don't care.
Speaker 3: So the valuation shows something that is harmful to your case?
Speaker 2: Correct?
Speaker 17: Well, No, what it is is the evaluation shows the
Speaker 17: valuation shows the dollar value and and and and basically
Speaker 17: there's big It showed dollar value, but didn't show it
Speaker 17: didn't show that three accounts, didn't show three account Okay.
Speaker 2: I got it. It didn't all right.
Speaker 3: So that quadro attorney, by the way, for those people
Speaker 3: that don't know, it's a special attorney that practices in
Speaker 3: splitting up assets, uh, particularly pension plans annuities, because that's
Speaker 3: really complicated stuff as to what money come in is
Speaker 3: separate property, is joint money, and so you need a specialist.
Speaker 3: That's the quadro attorney. So he did one out of four. Okay,
Speaker 3: So you disagree with that, correct?
Speaker 4: Well, no, what.
Speaker 9: I just what it is?
Speaker 17: I said, I said, please provide me the statements to
Speaker 17: show that you know that showed that you know that
Speaker 17: the three accounts that you rolled over then you rolled over,
Speaker 17: you know.
Speaker 3: I went, okay, the date, okay, and he did and
Speaker 3: he didn't provide him to you.
Speaker 2: He didn't provide him to you, right.
Speaker 17: I went to Yeah, So I went to court and
Speaker 17: I told the judge. I said, look, you know I
Speaker 17: can't I can't review this valuation. I have no count statements.
Speaker 17: I don't know what's going on. So the court, you know,
Speaker 17: I told my wife that she needed to be transparent
Speaker 17: with their account doctright, okay, okay. So so what happens
Speaker 17: is the attorney she hires a quadri attorney. You know,
Speaker 17: he wouldn't give me the statement.
Speaker 2: So all right, I got it.
Speaker 3: You you said that, and the court said that they
Speaker 3: have to give you the statements.
Speaker 2: Now where are you?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 17: So where I'm at is that I had to hire
Speaker 17: I had to hire a The quadal attorneys don't. They
Speaker 17: don't want to do discovery because it makes the responsibility issue.
Speaker 3: Iither high, okay, But then you hire another quad You
Speaker 3: hire another quadro attorney that does.
Speaker 17: No, they don't. They don't want to get the quadal attorneys.
Speaker 17: They don't want to get involved in discovery.
Speaker 3: How many have you gone to and they don't They
Speaker 3: actually don't get involved in discovery. What they do is
Speaker 3: they just do an analysis of what's there on the table.
Speaker 2: Uh so, what what's your question?
Speaker 17: What I'm so, what I'm saying, Bill, is that I
Speaker 17: had to go hire. I had to hire a family.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, so you hire your own quadra attorney. Now,
Speaker 2: what's your question?
Speaker 5: Okay?
Speaker 17: Right, so no, I hired a family law attorney. Okay,
Speaker 17: So do did I spend twenty thousand dollars getting her
Speaker 17: to disclose the accounts?
Speaker 2: Okay? What's your question? Closed?
Speaker 17: So my question is when the account's not disclosed? It
Speaker 17: turned out that she didn't roll over three accounts she.
Speaker 2: Rolled Okay, I got it. So what's your question? So?
Speaker 17: So, basically, so the question is that the account that
Speaker 17: there's an eighty five thousand dollars account the basically she's hiding.
Speaker 2: Okay, what's your question?
Speaker 17: You know I said, this is my question? Is I
Speaker 17: spent I spent twenty thousand dollars?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I understand, So what's your what's your question?
Speaker 3: So?
Speaker 17: My question, the question is when I go into I
Speaker 17: want to go back to court. I want to find
Speaker 17: out how how you know, how could I get reimbursement
Speaker 17: for the man?
Speaker 3: Now you can you ask for the reimbursement, Michael cease,
Speaker 3: you asked for the reimbursement and the court either gives
Speaker 3: it to you or doesn't.
Speaker 2: Give it to you.
Speaker 3: And the way you describe it, it seems pretty egregious.
Speaker 2: And the court would.
Speaker 3: Turn around and go, yeah, your wife pays for it.
Speaker 3: Wife pays for yours because she wouldn't comply with a
Speaker 3: court order.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you asked for it.
Speaker 17: No, but this divorce attorneyment, nobody.
Speaker 2: You know what?
Speaker 3: It's your way? Too complicated. Uh, we're not going to
Speaker 3: I'm not going to get into that. You know you
Speaker 3: can't take five minutes with me when I say, what's
Speaker 3: your question? What's your question? I need a question there?
