Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.
financial advisor churning account. I've been dealing with this for about 16 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.
I have already tried to resolve this directly but the other party is not cooperating.
Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?
Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.
Most folks screw this up by is having everything documented. I'd recommend keeping a detailed timeline instead.
For anyone in California: look into the Private Attorney General Act (PAGA). It allows employees to file lawsuits on behalf of the state for Labor Code violations. The penalties can be substantial and it's a powerful tool that's unique to California.
I just learned that indemnification clauses can be mutual or one-sided. Always push for mutual indemnification — if they want you to indemnify them, they should indemnify you too. It's basic fairness.
