In California, I subpoenaed a police officer to appear at a civil case. After causing personal service of the subpoena to be effectuated, I received correspondence from the Police Department that the police officer will be on vacation. Can they do that? What is the best way to reschedule the subpoena?

I might get sued over a car accident in California. There were only two people in the car, but the other party claims there were three, and the third person has a history of suing. I have $25k per person per incident in insurance coverage. Can I legally pull my money out of my accounts before I get sued?

I need legal advice as a victim of domestic violence. I was charged with a Felony after calling the police to remove an ex-girlfriend from my house, where she had injured herself. I posted bail and now need to know how to protect myself. She was charged with a misdemeanor, and we are not married. I am afraid she will come back to my property to try to stay here again. Should I file a restraining order? The police said the city is charging me with Felony Domestic Violence with injury, even though I didn't do anything wrong and any injury was caused by her own actions or as an accident from me defending myself. How should I protect myself, and is there a good chance I would be punished with jail time for a first-time offense in a case like this?

If I take a person through small claims court to settle a debt and I win the case, what happens if they still do not pay? Does winning the case assure me I will get my money back?
