Keeping Old Law Suits From Haunting your Future – Part I

Being sued can be an unsettling and frightening experience. However, it you are not careful, it can be a haunting one, even when you win. That is because court records about the lawsuit are available to the public— and in many cases over the internet.

A search of court records, which is an increasingly common part of background checks for jobs or housing, can reveal details of a lawsuit that are embarrassing or unfairly prejudicial. California law provides some protections from being unfairly prejudiced by a civil suit that was dismissed or without merit, but you often need to be proactive in protecting your good name.

There are different rules for different types of cases and different rules for who is providing the information about you. This three part series will examine (1) how to seal information from a typical law suit, (2) the special rules that apply to unlawful detainer actions (evictions), and (3) what can and cannot be reported and by whom.

To understand how the records of a dismissed court case can cause haunt you consider the following scenario:

Jane, a software engineer, quit her job when she became uncomfortable with her employer over-billing clients. After she quit, Jane told the client about the over billing. Her former employer was infuriated and filed a lawsuit against Jane that claimed Jane defamed the company, stole company secrets and violated an agreement not to quit and compete against the employer. The court case was dismissed when the judge found the lawsuit was without merit. Jane, who is now looking for a new job and is one of two finalists for a position with a local high-tech company. The company, which is concerned about protecting its technology secrets, performs a background check that searches surrounding counties for civil and criminal court cases. The company sees that Jane was recently sued by her former employer for stealing trade secrets. The company decides that Jane is not the best fit for the job. While Jane cannot prove it, she suspects that the record of the lawsuit cost her the job.

Jane could have eliminated the risk of being unfairly prejudiced if she was proactive and asked the court to seal the record of the dismissed lawsuit. California Court Rule 2.550 provides the constitutional standard and procedure a court will use when someone requests to seal a court record that would otherwise be public. Because of strong First Amendment support promoting public access to court records, sealing a record is an uphill battle.

California courts will use a balancing test in deciding whether or not to grant a request to seal a record. The court weighs the First Amendment right of public access to court records against any “overriding interests” that support sealing the record to determine if the request should be granted. While the Rules do not define what may qualify as an “overriding interest,” a person’s interest in housing or earning income definitely qualifies.

In the scenario above, Jane could have argued to the court that her “overriding interests” included protecting her ability to obtain a job and earn a living. Her argument would be strengthened because the claims in the dismissed lawsuit are taken very seriously by her prospective employers. The court would seal the record and prevent it from ever being disclosed if it found that the threat of potential harm to Jane’s career prospects outweighed the public’s interest in knowing about the dismissed lawsuit.

If you do not have the time or resources to petition a court to seal the record, you might be able to take advantage of special rules based on the nature of the case, or you may even be able to prevent a credit agency from reporting it. These options are discussed in part 2 and part 3 of this series on Keeping Old Law Suits From Haunting Your Future.

How and Where to Find a Serious Psychic Online ?

Dear Reader,

Esotericism is a several billion dollars industry. Not surprising so many people one day find themselves waking up with extraordinary psychic abilities. So my first advice is beware. Fake psychics are numerous.

Here’s a complete guide on what you should do before you give out a single cent to an online psychic. Oh, by the way, I’ve been consulting psychics for the past 20 years.I. What type of psychic sessions ?. Email

Although it’s perfectly possible for a “true” valuable psychic to answer questions using emails, this type of consultation is not recommended. Here’s why. Email consultations ask you for (at the least) your first name and email. Sometimes other questions are asked like “do you have a pet”(!), “what’s your job” and so on. Without being aware of it, you’re, in fact, filling a survey ! Your personal informations are used to send you other emails with all sorts of proposals. It’s a wellknown marketing method. My advice is you should avoid using email when hiring a psychic online.. Phone

Hiring a psychic live by phone is a good idea. Because you know quickly if he’s worth your money. Sometimes, a psychic can have great visions, but you just “don’t feel your relation”. It may happen. You don’t know why but there’s a little something you don’t appreciate. In this case, if you don’t like his voice for example, or don’t feel good, quit your consultation. (After saying goodbye of course…) I’ll tell you a bit later what you should first when consulting a live psychic. So the phone is a useful tool when it comes hiring a psychic but what about great foreign psychics who don’t speak english that well but can write it ? Well, Online Chat solves the problem.. The Chat

The only problem I see concerning live writing psychics is the time it takes to write the messages. And the more time the more money. You want straight direct quick answers to your job, love or financial problems and issues but, sometimes, your questions require more details or the psychic sees images (flash visions) he needs to write about. Exchanging with a psychic, if you feel confident, is important. Let him write what he sees. I like chating. It’s one of my favorite.. In Person

Although this article relates to online psychics you may see, one day, a next door reader advertising online. So, of course, an in person consultation is not as quick as live online reading sessions. You have to move to get your reading. But if you have the opportunity, take it. In person sessions with a good psychic are always impressive. Moreover, human relations are important.II. A description of psychics categories. Pure psychics

This is the most rare type of psychics. They don’t use accessories to describe what is going to happen. No tarots, no crystal ball, nothing. They are extremely impressive mostly of course when you do in person sessions.Readers

This is the most common type of psychics. They use tarots, oracle decks, crystal balls, stones and so on to make predictions. I saw worldwide known psychics use cards. So don’t think that, because they use tarots, they’re not as good as the ones in the previous category. Whatever they use, it serves as a support for their visions.Astrologers

Astrology is, in my opinion, not related to psychic abilities. If you need help for self improvement go for it but astrologers do not predict the future.God Related

ok this one is a bit special. First of all, psychics are not gifted by God. Anyone can work on developping it’s own psychic abilities. But like Mozart, anyone can play music, but genious people have more talents. So be extremely careful when you hire someone saying “I was gifted by God”. I think that God has much more important things to do than gifting a fake psychic.III. The Price

Advertising which says the reading is Free should require all your attention. Because if there’s only one thing you must do, it’s run away ! Mainly because these offers are email sessions and that you have to fill some kind of survey. In other words it’s a scam.An Exception though : Phone and Chat sessions you may get the first minutes Free which allows you to make a short testing. In these cases go for it. I’ll give you the adress of a major psychic website below which does that.

Note that Psychic fairs are commonly indicated per minute. IV. How to Chose the Best ?

Most of the time you have at your disposal three indicators :1. The Rating

You can see other clients ratings and read their comments, if any. So what’s the difference between a 5/5 stars psychic and a 4/5 stars psychic ? Absolutely none. So don’t focus on the 5 stars only. The ratings are also easy to manipulate. If you have 10 friends they can rate you everyday. So don’t take the ratings as absolute truth. 2. The Price

I’m horrified when I see some psychics asking for $14 a minute. That’s $840 an hour. I know personally worldwide famous psychics who, at the most, take $350 an hour a half. Don’t give these online “psychics” your money. They may have the psychic abilities but the way they use them astonishes me. Now, of course, it’s up to you if you want to throw your money away. ;-) Don’t spend over $9 a minute. There are many live psychics who work very well for 99 cents a minute. Take the time to finding them.3. Your Intuition

Well, yes, that may sound weird but give why not your spirit some freedom. Look at the psychic’s picture, read what he offers and just let go.

Concerning the psychic’s portrait, don’t focus too much on it since 50% are not their true portrait. V. How Should you Start Your Consultation ?Important. Always start like this : ask the psychic to tell you something you’re the only one to know about. And it should be FREE. If he refuses, change. Be extremely careful. If he accepts, make this last 1 minute. Not more. A single FREE minute will not kill the psychic. Hear or read what he has to say. It may not be extremely detailed but it’s the only way for you to know what the psychic is worth. or at least give you a first impression.Where to Find a Serious Psychic ?

There is one main website where I’m going to send you : Keen Live Personal Advisors

First 3 minutes are Free. It’s enough for the first impression I talked about above.Conclusion

Psychics can be of a great help if carefully chosen. Take your time. Don’t get yourself abused by nonsense advertising and astronomical prices.

Remember : taking a psychic reading can change your life.

Psychically Yours !
