How Do I Get a Default Judgment in California?
I filed a Civil Sexual Harassment lawsuit against an individual in California. I had the sheriff serve the defendant the Summon and Complaint. I received a Proof of Service of Summon from the sheriff, which I filed with the Court. The defendant did not appear at the Hearing and is therefore in default. All other appropriate legal forms have been filed. I have now filed a Request for Entry of Default (Request) with the Court hoping to receive a monetary Judgment against the defendant. The Court Clerk has returned my Request and indicated that I need to have a proof of service against the defendant. My question is - do I need to provide service to the defendant on the default from the Hearing or is there something else that I have not done or don't understand?
When Does the Statute of Limitations for Legal Malpractice Begin to Run in California?
I have 2 questions about 2 statute of limitations which are stemming from one case, a personal injury case. I was a plaintiff In a personal injury trial, my attorney mishandled my case; I didn't know about certain important issues regarding my attorney until months after the trial has ended. For example: He didn't submit important expenses to the jury, he didn't object to several motions filed by the defense, actually he didn't object to anything, most importantly, he concealed a judgment from me (Full of false information) which has been filed by the defense, he promised in an email to contact me once the judgment is filed and signed, well, he didn't, I learned about the filing of the judgment 2 months after the trial has ended when it became available in the court; only then I discovered how my attorney has screwed up everything, I had no knowledge about what my attorney did before that date. Although the trial has ended several months ago (less than a year) my attorney still refuses to return my file and I have been told that this means that he is still My Attorney On Record. He stopped communicating with me, I have contacted him tens of times by emails, phone calls and voice mails, when his secretary answers she promises he'd return my call, but he never did. I filed a complaint with the California State Bar and he was issued a letter of warning. I understand The statute of limitation shall run from the time the cause of action is discovered or should have been discovered with the exercise of due diligence. My question is: In my case I discovered that my attorney had received, reviewed and approved a judgment without my knowledge or authorization 2 months after the trial has ended, that's in addition to the discovery which occurred 4 months after the trial has ended, that he didn't submit highly important expenses to the jury, so the statute of limitation should start running according to the time of those discoveries. Am I right on this? I also understand the statute of limitations won't start running until the lawyer/client relationship on the same case ends. The other important issue is: In that same case the defendant was found guilty, the defendant's negligence was found to be 'A substantial factor for causing my injury'. Now the trial has ended and I want to sue the defendant personally, I know he has assets, what is the statute of limitation in California for this particular issue (suing a defendant after been found guilty)?
