Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

Re: Request for Admissions

You do not need to answer them unless they have been served upon you; ask them for an extension and a copy. The forms are here: http://www.courtinfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/forms.cgi

This is just general information. No representations are made and no attorney client relationship is established by this communication. In most matters there are strict time limitations within which actions may be taken or your rights will be compromised. We are not taking any action on your matter and will not be considered your attorney or tax representative until both you and we have signed a fee agreement.

We, therefore will take no action on your behalf unless a written retainer agreement is signed. There are strict deadlines, called statutes of limitation, within which claims or lawsuits must be filed. Therefore, if you do not retain SELIKLAW, you should immediately seek the services of another attorney or other advisor.

If you send a lawyer or law firm email, your email will not create an attorney-client relationship and will not necessarily be treated as privileged or confidential. You should not send sensitive or confidential information via email. The lawyer or law firm to whom you are writing may not choose to accept you as a client. Moreover, as the Internet is not necessarily a secure environment it is possible that your email sent via the Internet might be intercepted and read by third parties.

Re: Request for Admissions

I think my colleague misunderstood your question. It appears that you were served with the form interrogatories and requests for admissions. Depending on the nature of the lawsuit, you might want to object to certain of the requests for information based on, for instance, privacy, relevance, attorney-client privilege, etc. It might be good to get an attorney to help you out with answering these things so that you don't answer them in a way that could be harmful to your case. There are no forms for responses, by the way. You do have to attach a verification, however. Please give me a call at (310) 858-9771 if I may be of some further help. I do agree that you should call the other lawyer and ask for an extension of, perhaps, 2 weeks.

Re: Request for Admissions

There are no forms to answer Form Interrogatories and Requests for Admission. If you don't know the discovery process and don't hire a lawyer, you should plan on losing the lawsuit.

Re: Request for Admissions

You need representation immediately and not a paralegal. Admitting, denying and objecting strategically requires the experience of a licensed professional. Call me directly at (619) 222-3504.

Re: Request for Admissions

You have to be very careful in responding to discovery requests served by an opposing party in a lawsuit. The answers that you give MUST be verified under penalty of perjury. Thus, it is like testimony in Court and will be binding upon you at the time of trial.

If there is any significant amount of money at stake you should at least consult with an attorney. In addition to representing people in lawsuits I have consulted with people who are representing themselves. Thus, you can pay only for the time spent for helping you and preparing forms for you.

Re: Request for Admissions

There are no such forms, other than what attorneys make up for themselves in the normal course of business. It sounds like you are discovering that you need the help of counsel. Contact if you want that help.
