  My son passed away, gave me power of attorney before he entered hospital. His estranged wife who is and has been living with another man has been insinuating that I cannot manage their finances. I have made no claims against any monies due her and the children, nor am I aware of any claims that have been filed on my behalf. She said she has a court date in March to dispute the estate claim.

  Asked in Sunnyvale, CA | November 23, 2025

  Was physically atttacked by neighbors (husb & wife) when wife struck me with fists, we fell to ground, husb jerked me up off of wife and slammed me to ground then called police, while on phone wife again hit me in head with fist, I went to hosp was diagnosed with concussion. Police arrived, took statements and no further action. This happened on my rental property, I informed prop mgr, no action taken.. Happened 1+ year ago and neighbors are severely harassing me again when for the second time, have and currently are using their vehicle to block me in carport parking space. Last time I reported to police after being blocked in for 4 days and police stated that they could not assist because it was private property, need to contact prop mgr. Contacted prop mgr who failed to resolve. What may be my legal options? I am a US Army veteran, I receive subsidized housing assistance but I'm very afraid to notify my housing authority without knowing what my legal options may be!

• Where can I find an attorney or law firm who is plaintiff-sided to go against a large corporation?

  Asked in East Los Angeles, CA | February 12, 2026

  This matter arises from a car rental dispute that was escalated to law enforcement and resulted in a felony arrest and prosecution. Car rental company own billing/contract records reflect the rental was closed and the vehicle was returned on March 28, 2024, yet Plaintiff was arrested on April 5, 2024 while in possession of the same vehicle, creating an objective contradiction suggesting false or materially misleading information was provided to law enforcement.
