An injured person contacts a company that offers pre-settlement lawsuit funding, sometimes at the suggestion of an California Tax attorney. The finance company contacts the lawyer who is handling the case, and obtains information about the case. Based upon that tax information provided, the loan company estimates the value of the likely eventual settlement or verdict, and offers a cash advance to the injured person based upon that estimate. The fee may be a flat fee, or a monthly fee that accrues each month the loan is outstanding. When the case settles, usually a California Tax Lawyer or the defendant pays after losing in court, the loan and associated fees are paid to the finance company.
Once the defendant is compelled to answer the complaint (and sometimes before) both parties are permitted to engage in discovery of evidence procedures, i.e., to demand production of documents and things, to require the other side to admit facts and law under oath, to ask relevant questions of anyone, to put evidence on the public record, and to attempt to settle the case and avoid the expense, delay, and uncertainty of going to trial.
In California for the parties cannot settle their dispute during the discovery phase, the court must examine the evidence, hear testimony, consider arguments of law, and render its final judgment.
Usually there will be about three attorneys from the Tax District Attorney’s office in the courtroom. One of them will read the charges against you and request the court to impose bail at a certain amount or no bail. If no bail is demanded by the District Attorney then you will hear the word “ROR”, which means “return on your own recognizance”.
Bail is determined according to the crime and your personal information. At arraignment the District Attorney will have your personal information obtained from their computer searches on you. They call this your “ rap sheet”. It will include information about you, such as your Tax issues and what is the name and record of your lawyer.
