Legal Question in Elder Law in California

Demurrer Hearing

During a demurrer/opposition to demurrer hearing, can evidence or statements be brought to court to dispute the complaint, or is the hearing limited to legal arguments. This is regarding elder abuse and all the plaintiff's claims are heresay and completely bogus.

A civil legal action can be a very serious thing with serious consequences. If you are being sued, find a good defense attorney.

Re: Demurrer Hearing

The hearing is about the adequacy of the pleadings only, and your opposition must be by proper pleadings timely filed.

Bogus or not, if you don't know how to effectively represent yourself in court, you are not doing yourself any favor, nor saving any money in the long run, by doing this pro per. Hire an attorney to avoid a judgment against you. If serious about doing so, feel free to contact me. It may be possible to resolve the case satisfactory to you if you can actually show the allegations to be untrue.
