Regarding the timely requirement in procedure for Motion for Summary Judgment per CCP 437c, is it lawful to ask to postpone the trial date in order to gain extra time for the 75 days? Additionally, if a defendant made a false statement in an appeal court that suppressed the appeal, but later reversed that statement in the trial court, is that a basis to reopen the appeal? Furthermore, is it true that trial courts have so much local power that higher courts rarely reverse them regardless of the wrongs?

How can I sue Amazon.com for theft? I'm a seller and one of their customers ordered merchandise from me and promptly demanded a partial refund. I offered to accept the return for a full refund, but the customer intended to commit theft and never returned the item, initiating a chargeback through Amazon. Amazon approved the chargeback despite the customer not returning the merchandise, leaving me out $150 and with a bad review. Do I have a case, or is my only option canceling my seller account?

A family member was caught trespassing at a construction site in Richmond, VA, and received a summons. They claim there were no signs posted on the side of the building they entered. A Fairfax lawyer suggested that if the person who posted the signs (on the other side of the building) does not show up in court, the charges will be dropped based on a Virginia Supreme Court case. The lawyer costs $700 to pursue the case, and we are unsure if this is worth the cost or if we should hire a local lawyer instead. We are also concerned about the potential penalties of a trespassing misdemeanor (Class 1), which could include up to a year in jail and a $2500 fine. Should we hire the Fairfax lawyer, or is there a better option in the Richmond area?
