    What is a Demurrer in a lawsuit? The legal definition of Demurrer is an objection to the Complaint pleading filed by a Plaintiff, which challenges the legal sufficiency of the complaint, or any causes of action set forth in the Complaint. There are many different grounds for filing a demurrer and a certain process that must be followed. Attorney Steve Vondran, the business and real estate lawyer, explains the basic ins and outs of Demurrer's in California law.

    As a Plaintiff, you want to file a lawsuit that names all of your causes of action (ex. fraud, breach of contract, financial elder abuse, breach of fiduciary duty, etc.. Alll you have to do to plead a good case that SURVIVES DEMURRER is to make sure you are making plausible factual allegations as to each and every element of each and every cause of action. If you can do this, the Desperate defendant demurrer filing party will have a tough road to hoe to knock out your claim. Sometimes the Defendant files a demurrer to act tough, and somethings they think they will win. That being said, if a Plaintiff has their shit together, and can meet and prove all the elements of each cause of action, the Plaintiff will not need to amend the complaint and someone should basically kick the shit out of the demurring party. Use the time to emphasize what a bunch of scum-buckets they Defendant is for filing the demurrer and seek sanations gating them. If they are right, for whatever reason, fight like Muhammad ALi for a chance to amend the compo,aint.

    Thank you for this video, for it's so helpful when someone explains it to me, even if it's with the same vocabulary I've been reading on my own about in trying to understand it for myself, there was just something not clicking but now I have a better idea of deciding and quite frankly ,I think I need to speak to an attorney.... anyhow, thanks again, great video, and much appreciated.
    PS - Was that intentional at the end? When you said, "We look happy to talk to you" because it would be pretty humous if it subtly was or was maybe more of a fumbling of the two phrases, "We look forward to talking with you" and "We're happy to talk to you"?

      Steve Vondran I live in a small SRO residential hotel where I also work part-time, meaning, my landlord is also my employer! Because I have complained about several habitability problems on my building the landlord and it’s building manager have retaliated in several ways. The most recent way being they moved a meth addict next to my unit to use the fumes as a curtain to spray insecticide at night for me to smell! I consider this attempt to murder me! . I have run test for meth and my unit is now hazardous, the environmental gov office will do a test soon also. (I can’t prove insecticide or pesticides all I know for sure it is meth contamination) I want to file a complaint for attempt murder, the stress, the.Malicious Persecution and many other causes of actions as the landlord has been made aware of the situation living and working here and has done little to correct them and prefers retaliation what other causes of action should I use? Any sample complaint I can see online as reference? Thx

    Any advice on someone who has been a defendant since 2001 who now is using the legal system to not serve proper notice while filing frivolous lawsuits : UA-cam "People's Court Business Battle". She submitted a MSJ separate from the separate statement and never served any of the 5 defendants on the case. She has stalked all the members of the case and the judge keeps letting her push back the trial. I am an emergency responder this is only a defamation lawsuit because of a Yelp review I wrote that was removed but she is a vengeful litigant and has not provided discovery document still as she submits her MSJ.
