The confiscation of all plants,... View More

If you were fined $30,000 for a marijuana grow in a rental property, and a lien was placed on the property, it is possible to have the lien removed if you pay the fine or reach a settlement agreement with the governing authority that imposed the lien.
However, it is important to understand... View More

It is likely--even under California law--that your employer can legally fire you for failing a drug test.
I advise you, however, to keep the CBD oil that you used and to have it tested for THC. Although it is extremely rare to test positive on a drug test as a result of using CBD oil,... View More

the best advice any lawyer can give you is to ask the court to appoint a Public Defender at your first appearance.
s/he will have access to a police report and any other evidence.
since PD's have very heavy case loads, I suggest you type up all the facts so that s/he does not... View More

My experience is that when the court tells you to file an additional document, they usually tell you exactly what they want. So if you received some kind of notice from the court, I urge you... View More

I agree with the advice already given about the importance of sitting down with a lawyer to review your agreement.

While the promise to give you a bonus to train people is probably to vague to be enforced, you should be entitled to be paid for all hours worked, including the time you trained the other couriers. Unless you worked more than 8 hours total on that day or days, you would be entitled to pay at your... View More
