Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Re: unlawful detainer

Thoroughly, effectively, and professionally.

You haven't done so yet, since you filed your other case [claims and grounds unknown] in a different court, and didn't consolidate the cases so as to avoid exactly the problems you face. Whatever the facts of the two cases are, they are related, and should be heard by the same judge. You'd better get that consolidation accomplished asap. The only way to do so is by proper motion, which you should have had prepared, filed and served prior to the 3-16 hearing. You see the problem here? Today is Friday. That can't be done by close of court today.

At this point, if you hired me to do all this, I'd prepare the motion to consolidate over the weekend, take it to court on 3-16 to show it to the judge, as the basis for me requesting a continuance of the UD hearing, to give me time to have the motion heard, granted, and the cases consolidated. The UD court is not going to be happy with you waiting until the last minute to do this.

If you're serious about doing this, feel free to contact me to discuss the fees and costs it will require to do this emergency procedure, and then follow on with the case[s].

Re: unlawful detainer

I have to agree with Attorney Nelson - you need representation, and you need it fast. There is no possible way to resolve the two pending matters without being represented by counsel. Given the time constraints, you just don't have the time to learn legal procedure, drafting and substantative law by Monday. Please call Mr. Nelson - I am not a litigator so I cannot help, but I've seen enough UD cases to know you will lose on Monday if you don't get someone to assist you. Please, don't take this email wrong - I've seen five applications in the past two months with similarly outrageous frauds created by unscrupulous loan brokers just trying to make a buck, so I really wish you the very best of luck in resolving this.
