11/11/2025

Thank you to all veterans for your courage, service, and sacrifice. Our gratitude cannot be understated.

As the children and grandchildren of veterans, the Modern Legal PC team understands the importance of this profound day and its history:

At the eleventh hour on the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918, the thunder of war stilled. Across the Western Front, the echoes of battle faded to silence as the armistice between the Allied Powers and Germany brought an end to the great conflict. One year later, President Woodrow Wilson declared November 11th as Armistice Day, which became a federal holiday in 1938. In 1954, Armistice Day became Veterans Day, to honor all veterans – regardless of when they served.

“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.” – John F. Kennedy

"Valor is stability, not of legs and arms, but of courage and the soul." - Michel de Montaigne

🛑📢📌 DID YOU KNOW?!?! 📌📢🛑

In 2024, the dollar caps (or "amount in controversy") for California Small Claims and California Limited Civil cases will go up!

✅ Small Claims case maximums filed by individuals will increase from $10,000 to $12,500.

✅ Limited Civil case maximums will increase from $25,000 to $35,000.

What does this mean?! How could this affect you?! Your real property legal issue?! Your eviction issue?!

While supporters said it's past time to raise the dollar limits on smaller-scale litigation, opponents argued a new law will make it more difficult for some consumers to find attorneys who will take their cases.

NEW LAW CAN MAKE LANDLORDS LIABLE FOR PUNITIVE DAMAGES AND TENANTS’ ATTORNEY'S FEES

The new law recently signed by Governor Newsom allows tenants to recover triple damages, attorney’s fees, and punitive damages for intentional violations of the Tenant Protection Act.

Specifically, the new law modifies eviction notice requirements and greatly enhances the penalties against landlords for collecting more rent than allowed.

On 09/29/2023:

CA Governor Newsom further bolsters eviction protections for tenants, “closes loopholes”, and adds additional requirements for eviction notices - beyond AB 1482.

As eviction requirements and processes are constantly changing, having an experienced and efficient legal team on your side is more important than ever - for landlords and tenants.
