    Hi! I'm sharon from indonesia. thank you very much for making this youtube channel. you don't know how much it means to me. Here in my country, it's a little bit difficult to find sources for legal english. I have some books, but it doesn't make any sense as i don't know many of the terms. but thankfully, i found your youtube channel. It's very useful especially because of the subtitles. thank you so much! will definitely watch every videos on this channel!

    So…. I paid for a 2 year state college education in applied science for a paralegal curriculum (paid for by me), also I just took a little refresher course which wasn’t cheap either. I want to thank you. I have learned more from your videos for no fee than paying for the education. Wow. Im impressed. So… do you take on lawsuits for individuals? Let’s say for damages occurred from their misconduct and deceit? They have about 3 lawsuits already litigated, settled with no claims of guilt, by every attorney general in the USA. Settlements paid to the state, so they got paid billions by the corporation, the biggest settlement in history……. but hey the victims don’t see any of that money and they are still being injured. Just kind of wondering what’s the best way to peruse it. Id be honored to have someone who honest to represent me.

    Good Heavens I wonder if this process is the same process for probate court? I'm in San Diego and my father died ten years ago leaving an inheritance for his four Sons. The older brother is the trustee and he's been ripping us off since 2013. He refuses to give accountability and also he's been renting units of the property since 2013 and he's been pocketing everything. And I've been compiling everything I can to submit for a case against him for breach of fiduciary duties. I've already gone through every fiduciary duty state statute and the ones that are violated. I don't have an attorney I cannot afford an attorney so I have to do this all by myself.

    The probate rules are state specific, and probate litigation poses its own set of complications. Some lawyers may take these cases on contingency fee. Unfortunately, we do not typically do contingency cases. It does sound like you’ve done your homework. Good luck to you in this difficult situation.
