Summary

I need a California-licensed attorney (active, in good standing) for a limited, one-time task on a civil case in Kern County Superior Court, Metropolitan Division (Bakersfield). The case is an accessibility matter under the Unruh Civil Rights Act and the California Disabled Persons Act. A complete, properly formatted Verified Answer has already been prepared and is ready to file. I need an attorney to: 1. Review the prepared Answer for two California LLC defendants. 2. Make any revisions you believe are appropriate. 3. Sign and appear as counsel of record for the two LLCs. 4. E-file the Answer in Kern County (through One Legal or GreenFiling) before the July 15, 2026 deadline. Important details: • This engagement is for the two LLC defendants only. The individual defendant is filing his own Answer separately, in pro per. A company cannot represent itself in California court, which is why I need licensed counsel for the LLCs. • The drafting is already done, so this is primarily a review, signature, and filing task. • I will provide the drafted Answer, the operative complaint, the court order setting the deadline, and a short case summary once we connect. • This is time-sensitive: the court deadline is July 15, 2026, so you must be able to review and e-file before that date. If additional work later becomes necessary (discovery, motions, hearings, or trial), that would be handled and quoted separately. Required Skills and Qualifications • Active California State Bar membership, in good standing (please include your bar number) • California civil litigation experience • Experience e-filing in Kern County Superior Court (One Legal or GreenFiling) • ADA, Unruh Civil Rights Act, or California Disabled Persons Act defense experience is a strong plus • Available to review and e-file before July 15, 2026
