Hour 2 Seg 2 - “Legal Eagle” Segment

- LISTEN TO THE COMPLETE SHOW FOR HI-LIGHTS/DETAILS OF SUBJECTS DISCUSSED IN THIS INTERVIEW.

LAW OFFICES OF ROBERT L. FIRTH w/ Robert Firth re: 68910 Adelina Road, Cathedral City, CA. 92234.

- QUESTIONS from Joey Pals.

1. Nicolas Maduro is in a U.S. Federal Court. How will the courts handle his capture in Venezuela? Was it lawful? (The court WILL NOT CARE. “Possession” here in the U.S. takes precedence over International Law that might read a bit differently.)

2. At what point should you stop googling a legal question and call a lawyer? (Depends on what you are googling about and how serious it is.)

3. What mistakes do folks make legally OVER AND OVER? (YOU CAN NOT USE A PARA LEGAL for many things. THEY CANNOT GIVE LEGAL ADVICE. They are NOT lawyers.)

- FOCUS OF ROBERT’S PRACTICE.

1. Personal bankruptcy. There are lots of chapters in personal bankruptcies. Either Chapter 7 where you get all your debts discharged as long as you get rid of all the secured items. Mortgages also. You CANNOT discharge student loans, judgements against you from a DUI, or a tort, or your last 3 years of income taxes. Or Chapter #13 where if you make more than the median income in CA ($70,000/yr for a single person) you MUST do a 13. Chapter 13 has a payment plan.

2. BK will be on your FICA for 10 years.

- REPORT that when you file a Chapter 7 Robert can get you a 700-credit score in a year if you do what he says.
