Seg 2 – “Legal Eagle” Segment
LISTEN TO THE COMPLETE SHOW FOR 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. What does “charged as an adult” mean? (Under 18 and you’re in the juvenile system. Less rights than as an adult. Conducted in Judges’ chambers. Objective is to re-habilitate. The Prosecutor decides if you can be charged as an adult. Some differences occur @ 16 and 17. Under 16, you CANNOT be tried as an adult)
2. What’s the Supremacy Claus? (Pre-emption doctrine. Article 6, Clause #2 of the Constitution. Establishes that the Constitution, federal laws made in accordance w/ it, and treaties are the supreme Law of the Land. When a state law conflicts with federal law or a treaty, federal law or treaty takes precedence.)
– 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.
