On October 29th, 2015, I made the trip to small claims court at the Superior Court North County Division in Vista, California. The case I observed was a contract dispute between Michael Mendell and Ediga Narashima. The plaintiff (Mendell) was sueing the defendant (Narashima) for $4,000 over a breach of contract. Narashima had given Mendell the opportunity to build theatre system and a bookshelf for his home. They both came to an agreement that the total cost of this procedure would be $4,100. Mr. Mendell is a professor at APT College where he teaches telecommunications. Mendell claims that the full $4,100 was never paid to him. During the whole process of the build there was many setbacks and problems that arose. Mendell claimed that while he was working on this home theatre project, he missed out on work and money he could have obtained from his other job as a professor. That is the reason why he is sueing Narashima as well as the fact that Mendell claims Narashima did not pay him his final installment of $300 for the job. Ediga Narashima claims that the final installment was paid through a friend or third party named Mario Diaz. Mario was a friend of both the plaintiff and defendant. He had referred Mendell to Narashima for the job. Mendell counterclaims that he had never received the final installment from Mario. The big question is to whether Mario had payed the final installment to Mendell as they agreed in

These "have-not-enough" clients would benefit from another alternative: nonlawyer advocacy. While lawyers hold a monopoly on the practice of law in America, there are other legal professionals qualified to represent clients. With education, training, and specialization, nonlawyers can acquire the skills needed to provide competent legal services.

The amount of compensation is commensurate with the size of the estate. However, a grantor can opt to withhold compensation from an attorney. In doing so, the standard of care an Attorney must demonstrate diminishes. To counteract potential financial abuse in these situations, Attorney compensation should be made mandatory and the amount of compensation should be increased. The job of being an Attorney is extremely onerous, and substantial compensation as recognition for their service could help prevent financial abuse by an

Our client appears to have a solid case, but there are steps that we should take to better position our client for litigation.

We all engage in countless transactions based either in an expressed or implied contract. Many lawsuits arise from some alleged breach of contract over terms that are unclear at best. Having an attorney standing by at the beginning of a dispute can sometimes resolve it before unnecessary litigation ensues. If litigation does occur, an attorney still is an indispensable requirement for a just outcome.

Payment in contingent agreements is reliant on the outcome of the case; therefore, no fees are collected unless there is a legal triumph for the client. According to Mesriani (2010), “Usually, attorney fees for a no-win-no-fee lawsuit vary from 20% to 50% of the total compensation that the client has received”. While contingent attorneys stereotypically cherry-pick cases based on the probability of success; most often, they are highly motivated to win in order to receive payment. In some cases, contingency fees are negotiable, granting clients more flexibility, and peace of mind; which suggests that the attorney is willing to venture not collecting a payment, based on the likelihood of a fruitful outcome (LaMance,

Many individuals, when charged with a DUI, turn to a Criminal Defense Lawyer when, in fact, they need a Trial Lawyer. Often, the accused looks at the attorney and his or her appearance to determine if they are successful in their industry, yet these material items shouldn't factor in to a person's decision. Anyone can purchase a luxury vehicle, a Rolex or an custom made Italian suit if they have money. This doesn't necessarily mean they have the skills the defendant needs in the courtroom. Individuals need to understand this distinction and look at an attorney's background and experience before making their selection.

When Josh was asked, during a bankruptcy proceeding, whether he had ever been sued, he responded that he had not. In fact, he had once been sued for intentional infliction of emotional distress. That suit had been settled many years earlier and had no financial impact on Josh today. Josh’s debts were discharged in bankruptcy. Creditors want the discharge revoked because of Josh’s lie.

     The legal system is an essential element in the successful operation of this country. It is a system that is utilized every day, by every type of person, from the average blue-collar worker to the average Wall Street broker. There is a multitude of ways that the legal system is put to use. One such way is the class action lawsuit.

Grace & Co., et al, to illustrate the power and importance of class action lawsuits in the civil justice system.
