California questions and answers

• Neighbor built a deck and blocked my window. No mention of such in their permit. What type of lawyer will I need?

  Asked in San Francisco, CA | April 25, 2026

  The deck blocked my window from light. The deck is extended; you can hop over to my side. I talked to the owner, and she said she didn’t know anything about it. Other person on permit has been dead months before the application. According to the public record, the deed title is an entity, not the permit applicants. I spoke with the inspector, he said if I pursue, it will be very expensive. I asked questions he couldn’t answer. I asked DBI to investigate, but they approved it anyway. What kind of attorney will I need?

• My vehicle is being held even though all the cases got thrown out for a lack of evidence and illegal search. How do I get it back?

  Asked in Santa Rosa, CA | April 13, 2026

  I got pulled over seven times. Now they're holding my vehicle even though all the cases got thrown out for a lack of evidence and illegal search. I need to get a hold of my vehicle so they can't sell it at the tow yard. The cases are going out, but the judge hasn't ruled on whether he wants to make me pay any of it, even though I shouldn't have to pay any of it. The bill is at 7100 and it's theirs and they can pay for it, but they want me to pay for it because they justified it as an illegal search because of the severity of the crime, but it was for three misdemeanors that all got thrown out.

• My 388 hearing was denied. The lawyer I had hired had filed the 388 papers the day before court. What do I do?

  Asked in Los Angeles, CA | July 22, 2026

  When I hired this lawyer, I was told that they’d get me reunification again and that I’d get my son back, but nothing happened. Very unprofessional. Filled 388 paperwork the day before court. And now I got my rights terminated. They appealed it, and that’s where I’m at. What do I do? I need my son back. I did everything that was in the case plan.
