• 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.

• My vision declined after PDT procedure. Do I have a malpractice case, and should I take disability or protected leave?

  Asked in Corona, CA | January 29, 2026

  I’m seeking legal guidance regarding a potential medical malpractice issue following a photodynamic therapy (PDT) procedure for central serous retinopathy (CSR). Before the procedure, my vision was clear and fully functional. Immediately afterward, I experienced a significant and unexpected decline in vision in the treated eye.

  The doctor told me I had allergic reaction after the procedure. There is retinal damage. This change in vision is affecting my ability to work. I’m concerned that something may have gone wrong during the procedure or in how it was administered. I have all medical records, including pre‑procedure notes, imaging, and follow‑up documentation, and I plan to obtain an independent evaluation from another retina specialist to understand whether this outcome aligns with known risks or suggests negligence.

  In addition to assessing whether this may constitute malpractice, I also need guidance on how to navigate my employment situation. Specifically, I’m unsure whether I should pursue short‑term disability, long‑term disability, or take protected leave such as FMLA/CFRA while my condition is evaluated?

• Ex-friend sent message to college alumni org claiming I committed multiple sexual assaults. Claims are false. What do I do to address this?

  Asked in Los Angeles, CA | January 26, 2026

  An ex-friend libeled me a few months ago. She wrote messages on Facebook to the university alumni board claiming I sexually assaulted someone out of state and also someone at a party she hosted 10 years ago. These claims are 100% false. Due to her false claims and the drama it caused I had to step down from the board to deal with this. I have the screenshots that she sent on Facebook. I also made a copy of our last correspondence as friends years back, also via Facebook messages. In the film industry, in this age of #metoo, allegations of sexual assault can ruin someone’s career. Even if it didn’t happen. Her false accusations have caused me a lot of stress as well as distractions daily. Also stepping down from he board has hurt my film career. It has limited my networking opportunities. Daily this causes me stress on how to handle this. I’m not very productive at my day job and my insomnia returned. Best way to file Cease and Desist and not lose a lot of money with this?
