I finally decided to invest in your program and learn how to win in court! Your program saved me. My learning how to use the rules of court made a difference! The HOA dropped the case. Thank you for everything! I can now start my life over after 10 years of unfounded harassment by greedy people! My only regret is not getting your program sooner.

This course provides a wealth of knowledge in a step-by-step learning format that guides you along AT YOUR OWN PACE. It's like being taken by the hand and led through the vast halls lining the labyrinth of legal procedure and landing the learner safely on the other-side.

I truly believe every American needs the education your course provides. Your message that the right to redress grievances in court is the one right that secures all our other rights truly resonates with me. Learning how to exercise one's rights is learning how to be a real American. Thank you!

Been fighting 3 collection agencies. Absolutely ecstatic about my victories. Prior to purchasing your fine program, I was just one of the ignorant herd these people prey upon. Your user-friendly course is the best $249 I've spent in a long time. My wife overheard plaintiff's attorney say, "Don't mess with that guy!" Wow!

- Quantum Meruit
- Quantum meruit means, simply, "for what it’s worth". It’s that simple. Don’t be bamboozled by legal jargon. Quantum meruit is a cause of action that arises when one person promises to do something for another, and the other takes some action that would cause a reasonable person to believe that the first person will perform, such as tendering a sum of money for what is promised. Even where there is no contract, per se, there may be a cause of action where a person gives value to another under circumstances that would cause the first person (if reasonable) to believe the second person will give fair market value for what he received. This is a very powerful cause of action that opens the door to recovering moneys advanced to others for services or goods never delivered. Quantum meruit offers recovery of "whatever the thing was worth". It is a beautiful invention of wise judges in the past who recognized that very often there is not a written or even a verbal contract between two persons yet an understanding exists upon the passing from one to the other of some value monetary in nature. The law recognizes the right of one to recover from the other for sums delivered for which no return value is given. This right gives rise to the cause of action known as quantum meruit.
- This is one of your common law causes of action. Don't let your opponents' lawyers steal it from you.
- Fight for your quantum meruit.
- Quid Pro Quo
- Literally "this for that". It is the heart and soul of contract law. One party gives a promise, the other side agrees. The two are bound. This for that.
- That so few persons are able to complete their bargains is no measure of the system that will fix your broken promises if you know how to use it. The system works for those who know how to be heard in court. The system is a good thing.
- Use it.
- Quid pro quo.
- Do your part.
- That’s the quid.
- Quiet Title
- This term usually refers to an action to clear some confusion or dispute as to who holds title or other interest to a parcel of real property. (In rare cases it might be used to determine who has an ownership or other interest in personal property, e.g., a boat, airplane, farm equipment, etc.)
- When an adverse interest to title is alleged (e.g., by a lender claiming to hold a mortgage encumbering title or an individual claiming a right of easement on or through the property) an action to quiet title may be brought in a court of equity.
- To succeed, a quiet title action must allege and prove the adverse claim is a nullity ab initio, has been removed by some intervening process, or otherwise is contrary to good faith and should therefore be quashed by a court order in the interest of equity and the proper administration of justice.
- The successful outcome of such an action results in a quiet title.
- Quitclaim Deed
- The best way to explain this term is to tell the story of those who sell the Brooklyn Bridge every now and then. If one makes and executes a quitclaim deed to another, all the recipient gets is what the grantor had to give. If the grantor did not have actual title to convey, the recipient gets nothing. Contrast this with a warranty deed, by which the grantor pledges and guarantees that the title being conveyed thereby is good, promising to remain responsible to defend the authenticity of the title he conveys. With a quitclaim deed you get only what the grantor actually had to give ... and nothing more. You will immediately see the problems failure to understand this term can bring the unwary.
- Quo Warranto
- See Writ of Quo Warranto.
