My husband was fired after failing a drug test at his private sector job in California. He had the most seniority in the company and was not late or absent. The drug test was conducted after someone found a substance in an out-house on the property, not in his work area. He had previously expressed a need for help to his supervisor, who did not relay this information to the main boss. Is there any recourse or privacy issue here?

I am in the process of negotiating a settlement with the defendant. My lawyer has sent out the discovery to the defendant. I told the defendant no need to answer the discovery and notified my lawyer to put the case on hold and do not incur any charges until further notice. My lawyer continued to send me bills for the following charges without my authorization. Are these valid charges? 1. A telephone conference regarding the defendant's request for extension to respond to discovery. 2. Preparation of Case Management Conference statement. 3. Review of the Court's tentative ruling regarding the Case Management Conference. Additionally, what is the minimum cost to hold or delay the case without dismissing it, and what other possible attorney fees may incur if I do not dismiss the case while negotiating a settlement with the defendant myself?

My mother is terminal and I need to figure out if she needs a regular power of attorney or a durable power of attorney. We are in Washington State and I need to download the correct legal document from the internet due to financial constraints. I am also confused about whether a durable power of attorney covers both medical and financial decisions, and if it remains effective when she is incapacitated.
