I have been dealing with a legal situation for the past 3 months, contacting numerous attorneys who all say the same thing about the excessive and possibly illegal billing by a former attorney. Despite this, no one is willing to help due to the influence of the former attorney and the judge's desire for re-election. I have been to court twice, with the judge extending the trial date twice, stating I should appear on November 6 with or without an attorney. I am physically and emotionally exhausted and unsure of what to do next. Is there any recourse or organization I can turn to for help?

I worked as a barber for nine years, and if people came in for haircuts, I had to stay. I was paid $10.00 an hour, and if I worked 2 hours overtime, I just received my hourly rate. No overtime was paid. What are my rights regarding overtime pay?

I have a default judgment against me in Fresno, CA, but the case is in Martinez, CA. The proof of service indicates that a company called Cal Serve in Southern California served an adult woman at a place I didn't live and to a person who doesn't exist. The owner of the served address confirmed that no one by that name ever lived there. Can I sue the proof of service agency, and who should I contact to prosecute them for providing false proof of service? This default judgment caused me to lose my job.

I live in a low-income housing apartment. Every time someone moves out, they charge us for painting the apartment and rewaxing the floor. Isn't this considered normal wear and tear? Where can I get a copy of this regulation? I understand there is a pamphlet with these laws in it, but I can't find it online. Can you help me?
