Gov. Schwarzenegger Does the Right Thing: Signs SB 94 and Vetoes AB 764

I have to say that I was not originally in favor of SB 94's provisions on advance fees, as I saw the language and what I thought to be the original intent as being harmful to homeowners as I saw it as an attempt to deprive homeowners of professional representation. But as the process went forward and reading the final bill, I have to say that I now believe that I was wrong... SB 94 should be a very positive thing.

Does it need some clarification from the courts as it pertains to law firms? Yes, but that will come. And does the California State Bar need to come to terms with the fact that there are hundreds of attorneys practicing in California that offer homeowners legitimate and oftentimes critical support when attempting to save their homes? Again, the answer is yes.
