Scott Richard Kaufman
National Association of Consumer Advocates
I attended law school in my mid 30s after earning my degree in speech communications, traveling a bit, waiting on tables, running a small food business and teaching tennis for eight years. Translated, I had a bit of a life and a well developed personality and world outlook at law school, unlike so many "kids" who go straight out of college and learn only to fight. My job is to see your issues from the legal and non legal sides. I need to see how the other side thinks as well to end up with successful results.
I do not come from an ivory tower. I've been poor, very poor, for years, and whatever I have I have earned it on my own. Remembering that path and that climb is essential to everything I do, every day and why I fight for all that you deserve and usually try to get you a bit more than the law allows. That is why you will find excellent reviews out there on my practice. We strive to please in your time of need.

- Q. Is there a cap on storage unit rent increases in California?
- A: Feels like a bait and switch. THAT said, regardless of any CAP, it's HIGHLY likely that they must give you 30 day notice prior to raising the rent. One way to get them is to take your biz elsewhere and get the initial teaser rate...
- Q. Can we pursue fraud charges against bio mom for misusing child support?
- A: This is PURE speculation but, as described, this person almost assuredly has no money, so, getting it from her is unlikely. That said, stealing child support 'feels' punishable by prison? Again NOT even close to being sure. Perhaps you should speak to family services???
- Q. I had purchased first-class airline tickets on United Airlines and when I arrived at the gate was informed that there
- A: Under the basic operations of law, if you pay for X you are entitled to receive X and not less, not more. From that standpoint, you try to get what you can. Complicating matters, "maritime" (at sea) and I think "common carrier" (in the air?) but certainly covering planes and that type of travel, have different rules that are in play with them, so, you will need a specialty atty to answer these questions...
