Legal Question in Business Law in California

As a pauper proper, I filed a fraud complaint against a large corporation in the San Diego Superior Court with a 206 million dollar prayer and named myself as an individual plaintiff. The complaint was demurred and cites the plaintiff real party in interest is a corporation wholly owned by the plaintiff. I have no argument with the demurrer claim. I'm seeking noticed limited representation. Anyone interested in considering engagement of this business litigation case?

Attorneys do llimited representation, though it is not usually referred to as limited representation when there is litigation and the attorney will be making an appearance for a party. When the attorney actually makes an appearance, the attorney takes on a great deal of responsibilitie in the case, and has more potential liability, even with a written limited engagement agreement. Therefore, an attorney is going to want to be compensated for the potential responsibility and exposure.

I agree with Mr. Selik.

No attorney will agree to take a case based on the limited information you have provided. You haven't given us any reason to think there is any merit to your case. The fact that you are asking for $206 million does not mean that you will be awarded anything close to that amount even if you win, and it certainly does not mean the defendant will be able to pay. If anything, the fact that you agree with the demurrer suggests that your case is very weak.

For all I know, your case might actually be quite strong. I'm not saying that it *is* weak; I'm just saying that the very limited information you have provided gives that impression. You will need to do better if you want to get a lawyer's help.

You should call some local attorneys to see if they're interested. But you will need to tell them a lot more about the case than you have told us. \
