Recent Q&As in California

At a domestic violence restraining order hearing, who asks the witness questions? | Jul 25, 2026 | Sourced from Reddit
Location: California USA. Hello, I have two questions actually, but I’ll make another post for that other question. I am the Protected Party with a domestic violence temporary restraining order. I am pro se. I have a witness. The Restrained Party seems to be evading service. The hearing is scheduled for 7/30/2026. I do know that if the Restrained Party has not been served that the TRO is not technically in effect yet, so right now it’s only been approved by the judge. (1) Regarding the witness: should I be prepared to ask them questions? Am I going to be questioning the witness like how they do in Law & Order (I apologize if that is an offensive reference)? I was initially thinking that the witness would make a statement and the judge will question them, but is it more likely that I should be prepared to ask questions, and the witness should be ready to answer questions from me, the judge and the Restrained Party? With the Restrained Party not being served yet, should my witness come to the 7/30/2026 hearing?
At a domestic violence restraining order hearing, the Restrained Party has evaded service so what should I expect at the hearing? | Jul 25, 2026 | Sourced from Reddit
Location: California USA. Hello, I have two questions actually, but I made another post for that other question already (it was about the witness). I am the Protected Party with a domestic violence temporary restraining order. I am pro se. I have a witness. The Restrained Party is actually a trial attorney who works from home (except when obligated to be in court in person). The sheriff department made 4 attempts to serve the Restrained Party at their apartment. The Restrained Party seems to be evading service. The hearing is scheduled for 7/30/2026. I do know that if the Restrained Party has not been served that the TRO is not technically in effect yet, so right now it’s only been approved by the judge. Since the Restrained Party evaded service, I plan to ask for a continuance and to ask for alternative service. I know they already receive service on behalf of their clients via email and mail, so I would like to request that option. (1) As far as the hearing this week is concerned, should I still be prepared to present my entire case/argument/evidence on 7/30, just in case the Restrained Party shows up? Or can I simply prepare to ask for the continuance?
Legal way to remove abandoned vehicles that are blocking easement. | Jul 24, 2026 | Sourced from Reddit
Location: California One of our neighbors has several cars and RV’s parked along the road actually on our property. We can technically still get through with a small vehicle, but all the pullouts and shoulder is blocked. These have been there for several years and are full of rats and trash. We have asked him to move them but he is a bit loony and has all these excuses for why they can’t move or be gotten rid of. Yesterday there was a fire at the bottom of the hill, where that road goes. The fire department got to his property and turned around and left. (They had to access the fire from another road, on the other side of the canyon. It is out now.) But this brings back up the issue of the road being blocked. Pg&e can’t get their tree crews down there to maintain the fuel break in their easement, and the fire department can’t get through which puts several homes in immediate danger. I want to just report them abandoned and have them towed, but there is concern that this is not legal. Is there a better way to go about having these vehicles removed? What can we do?
I’ve worked with a financial coaching company that repeatedly promoted Ponzi scheme invest investments and lost thousands of dollars. | Jul 24, 2026 | Sourced from Reddit
I worked with a financial coaching company that taught a specific investing strategy that required investment vehicles that produced specific returns over set time frames. Because there were not a lot of options to fulfill the timeframe and returns they taught that you needed they promoted investments regularly through monthly seminars and an online portal with training videos. Is there any opportunity for them to be at legal fault for any of my financial losses due to promoting investments that have both failed for varying reasons as well as investments that were 100% Ponzi schemes. To my knowledge they have promoted at least two Ponzi schemes and the time I was with them and I have heard it is likely even higher than that. Location: I am in California and the coaching company is based in Hawaii with employees across the nation. If there is an opportunity to sue them any advice on how to find an attorney to take the case. I have called several lawyers and not had any of my messages returned. If this is something that could be more along the lines of a class action lawsuit I believe I could get many other clients from the coaching company involved in the lawsuit.
My parents experienced a house fire, landlord is not doing repairs | Jul 24, 2026 | Sourced from Reddit
Location: California My parents rent a manufactured home in a rural mountain community, a fire broke out in the front exterior of the home burning a wooden deck, exterior wall, and front entryway. Firefighters were close by and responded in 3-4 minutes, the home was not marked as condemned but is not livable. Windows broke in two rooms, holes in the roof are present in two rooms, the front door is unable to be closed, and there is no access to the front door since the wooden steps are now gone. My father went out the front door in an attempt to get to a water hose to get water on the fire and has second degree burns on his arm, door, throat, and forehead. The landlord does not have fire insurance, my parents do not have renters insurance. The cause of the fire is listed as “undetermined” on the fire report, fire fighters stated to us that they believed it was electrical. The landlord stated that he will make the repairs himself, but cannot come to California from his home in another state until late September. The fire occurred on July 5th. He has sent two contractors out to prepare quotes for the repairs but stated that they were too costly. My parents don’t know what to do now, they have been staying in a tent trailer on the property because the door cannot close so they are worried about their belongings. Is the landlord responsible for anything at…
