Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

Contract.

About 2 years ago I signed a contract to a Trade School that offered me 10 years of Job Assistance and Placement no matter my employment status. As soon as i graduated i was assisted in getting a low paying job when i asked them to help me find another just 3 months later the owner said he would help. that was a year and a half ago now im unemployed. On top of that I found out that one of the teachers I had in this school was not an acredited teacher, he was actually just a student who also didnt have a job and the owner hired him as a teacher with no work experiance in the field he was teaching. I can sue to get the money I still owe to the school and the money i paid in?

Re: Contract.

I assume the "contract" with the school was written. It needs to be reviewed in detail along with any accompanying materials, such as internet web sites and other writings.

After review if it is determined that you have been "defrauded" and the statute of limitations of 3 years has not been exceeded, a suit can be brought. The "teacher" issue just adds to the fraudulent conduct. You also have a straight breach of contract on the "assistance" issue. If there are jobs out there and they have not helped you get one, you MAY have monetary damages. That is the toughest part of your claims. Proving the actual contract damages.

To give you a more definitive answer, any attorney would have to go through the comprehensive paperwork and factual review process with you.

I hope this has been helpful to you.

Re: Contract.

from the facts presented, the actual contract, or its legal interpretation, would dictate what rights you have. thus, it would be CRITICAL for an attorney to review it for you if you want to fully know or understand your rights, and/or have legal direction thereafter. if you would like further assistance here, contact our Law Office today.
