What are the steps I need to take to set up a DBA in California, and do I need to incorporate or get an EIN if I am a sole proprietor with two small business ventures, one physical and one online?

I sent the petition with my CORI. I qualify for sealing. I just wondered if I still would have to go to a live hearing.

I am a plaintiff in a case involving overdraft fees, which was initially set to be a class action lawsuit. After four months, the defendant offered a settlement deal where I would receive $5,000 out of a total settlement offer of $75,000. I was informed that three law firms worked on the case, with billing rates of $800 per hour, resulting in about $17k in billing per month. Does this seem excessive, and am I responsible for these fees?

I bought a 2009 Cadillac CTS in January 2019. The car has been unable to pass emissions tests, preventing me from obtaining my first GA tag. I wrote a demand letter to the dealership owner 14 days ago but haven't heard back. I plan to take the owner to small claims court in his county. However, I heard from an attorney that I can't sue under the Lemon Law but could sue for Fraudulent Conveyance to void the contract. The car was sold with a warranty, but it only covers one coil for $200, and I would have to pay $1,995 for the remaining repairs. The check engine light was on when I bought the car, and I informed the dealership/owner a week later. Can I sue to void the contract for Fraudulent Conveyance?

If my wife passes away before our final divorce decree, would I own her house in Lane County, Oregon, or would her son inherit it?
