Can I seek remedies for relief from a business revolving credit line that was given to me 7 years ago by Chase, which I believe was irresponsible lending during the financial crisis? The credit line was extended to $244K, and I took it without fully realizing how difficult it would be to get out of debt. I have been doing business with Chase for over 20 years, have good credit, and my current balance is $237K. I also have evidence that other banks, like Bank of America, would not have extended such a high amount, suggesting that Chase's lending was inappropriate.

As beneficiaries of a Trust, can we sue the Trustee (who was previously a Conservator) for modifying a CA commercial rental property from 11 units to 10, which significantly affected rents and lowered cash flow for 5+ years, resulting in the property being sold for less? How do we quantify the losses, and what is the statute of limitations? Is this in probate court at a county level, or is there a higher level court we can sue in? What do we need to prove, and what if only one of the four beneficiaries sues? Can the one who sues request legal fees reimbursed, and will the Trustee charge the Trust to fight the suit?

I had a fire and hired a contractor who is charging exorbitant prices for emergency services and demolition, which are above the insurance company's scope of work. They have all my money and are using it as they wish. I need to cancel the contract but have to pay them $60,000 to release me. What should I do if I don't pay? What repercussions will I face if I get a lawyer to fight the excessive prices charged? Can they put a lien on my house while I am suing them? Should I just pay and be done with it?

In a lawsuit, how quickly must the District Attorney (D.A.) provide requested documents after a motion to compel is filed, and what happens if they still fail to produce the documents? Additionally, if the case involves multiple defendants and one defendant's lawyer requested the documents, will the other defendants benefit from these as well? Furthermore, what should be done if the statute of limitations has expired or if the financial investigation report is riddled with errors?
