I am a handyman who completed various repair services for a property owner in Long Beach, California. I provided a work-order contract with hand-written details for a total sum of $485.00, which she signed. After performing all the work promised and additional unrelated repairs, she refused to pay, claiming the signature on the contract is not hers. Additionally, she now claims her male cousin did not approve of the quality of workmanship on a cabinet installation, which I did not provide and had verbally informed her did not exactly match other cabinets in the room. Is it worth pursuing this in small claims court, and if I win, will I be able to collect the money owed?

I joined a REIT through a well-known Real Estate school and paid $1,500 for educational purposes that were not provided. We purchased properties and paid for construction, but the work stalled after our second payment. The director used his brother's company for construction without obtaining independent estimates as required by the agreement. We were also charged a monthly membership fee of $250 to attend meetings, which we believe is prolonging the construction to generate revenue for the school. What legal actions can be taken against the director and the school for these violations?

If I get divorced in Washington State after being legally married in California, does my wife get half of everything I brought to the marriage, such as my house, truck, van, boat, vacation property, and cash? We have only been married for 5 years.

In civil court, if a Defendant's lawyer fails to disclose after both a granted motion to disclose AND a subsequently served Duces Tecum Subpoena, is that lawyer in Default, Contempt of Court, just "out of compliance," or all of the above? Would a Civil Court Justice of the Peace grant a Default Judgement in such a case, impose sanctions, or what? This situation exists in the state of Arizona, and the lawyer is a Corporate Attorney.
