I'm not American, I'm English, watching these videos of yours fills me with information that's completely useless for me, but i cant stop watching them. Ugo, where's your British twin?
😂 you are so funny! I’ll look for a British lawyer to collaborate with! hahaha (fun fact, our legal system in the US actually derives from UK law!)
@UgoLord Yes, that would be so interesting. I'd love to see.. But if you're In the UK then...
@@UgoLord-Do you have a Canadian twin, too?
i mean, how foreign are US laws to an Englishman?
our verbage might be a bit different, but we are derivative of English Common Law. (not a lawyer but of all countries in the world, I'd like to think the USA is most similar to the UK. I personally call USA "English 2.0" both linguistically and legally.
we changed colour to color and certain concepts we made into our laws due to certain events of the colonial era.
otherwise, England was our rubric for how to base our laws fundamentally.
I'm French living in the UK and enjoy watching you. Your videos are always fun to watch & insightful.
Ugo just may be the ONLY lawyer in America, that everyone can trust. He explains the law, in a way you can actually UNDERSTAND !!!.. love ya, Ugo 😎👍🏼
My wife and I "Pinky-promised" on our vows at our wedding! Now we have a wedding license, and we're 10 years strong into the contract. But our preacher had us "pinky-promise" right before the kiss. I think we're bound to more than just a legal agreement here. ❤😂❤
haha that is so cute! Congratulations on 10 years of a happy marriage!!
That’s adorable! My hubs and I got our marriage license and a week later went to the courthouse. We used the standard vows. We had been together for ten years so we figured we would make it official lol been together (in October) 27yrs, married (August) 16yrs married this year. Using my cousins wedding this September to have a sorta second honeymoon.
This long form content is nice. Good to see it!
I'm glad you like it! More to come! Thanks for watching :)
unless....it is longer than 12 months..then it is not valid.
It's true. I sued a dealership. I used the text messages and their ad for the car stating it's their business conducting business from their property. I won the case without a lawyer lol
I'm proud of you! It's not easy to represent yourself and you did it!
I am in California, and during my job interview I told them I would accept the job offer on one condition that I would take a specific mode of transportation since it was the safest and easiest way to get to work and if that mode of transport was canceled because of holidays and other specific times I would require the day off. It was brought up in an informal interview with a few other managers present. It was never put into writing since the company was large and the forms were generic. A few months later all those people quit and went to other jobs. All the new managers come in and saw my situation and said we don't agree with this and we won't accept any verbal agreements. I have already been written up twice with the new change including not working on the clients holidays where my site is closed, that don't align with my company's holidays. And a verbal warning for taking lunch too early where I would come back with more than 5 hours left in the day.
Your delivery, comedy, and editing truly help it stick instead of the usual zoning-out I do during more boring pieces of informative media. Thank you so much!
his smile is so shiny i had to lower my screen brightness
thats the kinda people we need more in this world
"The court want to focus on what is right and what is fair"
Frankly, i'm mindblown hearing this, because most of the times the law doesn't look like it
Ugo's long-form content is seriously underrated. I know he gets the big views on the shorts, but these longer form videos are genuinely worth watching. I'm not even American, I just love the way he educates us, it makes me want to learn their law despite not living there. His energy and enthusiasm is really enjoyable too and definitely keeps me coming back. Of course the cherry on top is the addition of comedy.
This was very informal! Thank you for your videos, love them!
Thank You so much my friend!
If I went to court, and I saw you as my opponent, I would simply just turn myself in for the crime even if I didn't do it 💀💀
That's how good of a lawyer you are
😂😂😂 hahah You're amazing! I'd go easy on you! lol jk jk Thanks for watching!!
Thank you! I love the long form content. ❤
Watching on repeat to help get those numbers up for the algorithm gods.
You are incredible my friend! I appreciate you very much!
Thank you, Mr. Lord, for imparting your legal wisdom to us.
I've always said, "KNOWLEDGE IS POWER."
Just an FYI- In my family (my Great Aunts & Great Uncles), they conducted all their business with a handshake. All of them were very religious & ethical/moral codes were a way of life for them. If they told you they would do something, you could 'make book' on the fact, that they would follow through exactly as they promised. Boy, have times changed.
Those were the good 'ol days! Thank you so much for watching my friend!
@@UgoLord
No, thank you, for keeping us informed.
I love your long-form content - this way I can binge watch your videos because they’re utterly engrossing. I appreciate the time and effort you put into creating your content. 😊
Love the long form and appreciate your willingness to share the knowledge.
More long form! I like the shorts and then delve deeper in long form! So interesting and you deliver the information so well!
Keep up the long form videos!!! Absolutely loving it!!
Thank you sooo much for watching!!
Brilliant content as usual! This video helps me with a step family member who begged to borrow money to avoid losing her home. I documented by text that she asked to borrow the exact amount and that she agreed to pay me back before sending her the money. I also made a point to make her admit that she understood that it was not a gift and that I expected to get my money back. I made her confirm that she understood all that before I sent the money by Cashapp. I also documented the purpose of the money transfer in the note of the cashapp transaction. But of course she did not pay me back. Anyway again, this video helps a lot. Loved your content, even before this one! Have a great weekend!
Love your enthusiasm for the Law!!!!
haha I'm a dork! lol
Need more of this kind. Very informative
Thanks for the great information.
Thank you very much for your time and posting. Great job.
Thank You so much my friend!
for what you have bin saying at the beginning of the video you are doing that that's why your one of my favorite youtubers!
Love the longer content. Please keep it going. Cheers 👍🏻
This is great info to start my research. I have an oral/text msg agreement with a company to replace a door at a certain price. They emailed me the contract, BUT there is a stipulation that I cannot or dont know how to fulfill. Texted my issue of moving washer/dryer from the room. I have not signed the contract and I havent heard back from them yet. Really need a door, but I am waiting to see if I could legally go with another company. 🤔 🙃🤪😮💨 ok let me listen to this video again. Thanks
Watch again my friend and use those text messages to your advantage!
Such a great way to spread positivity and information love all your ideos
amazing videos im really fascinated
I love these type of videos dude. Please keep it up.
I love your energy! If I ever end up in Cali and need a lawyer ik who I'm calling!
Little known part of Contract Law. If a person has a Guardian, the contract is unenforceable IF the Guardian doesn’t validate the contract.
Time for an example.
A 29 year old adult with severe schizophrenia takes a Payday Loan of 700 dollars. They agree to the repayment structure and during the approval process for the loan, this person mentions they have a guardian and the contract would be unenforceable. The employee still processes the paperwork and hands over the money.
A day later, the person’s Guardian realizes what happened and refuses to validate the contract.
The person taking the loan and has the guardian, does not legally have to pay back the money. The contract is unenforceable.
If the legal thing ever gets rocky, Ugo could have an amazing career in horror movies with that wide-eyed gaze of dramatic emphasis. Can you imagine. The cosmic horror monster emerges from around the corner, and his eyes just get bigger and bigger... Just epic. (Don't even get me started on whether Ugo seems like he could scream with volume and feeling.)
I need this guys energy
This is great!
This is my favorite channel.
I love long form!!!!!!!!! And i can not stop watching!
Ladies and Gentlemen, this was a GREAT video. And furthermore Ladies and Gentlemen, in addition to being great, this video was FANTASTIC as well!!
More long form content please!
"Courts want to focus on what is right."
So you were sick the day they taught "family law" in law school?
Really enjoy your content, both fun and informative.
Some ideas:
How to conduct yourself in court.
Strange state laws that are not found in other states.
Are surprise witnesses allowed? You see them on tv, but my understanding is that’s not allowed.
From one nerd to another: Keep it up!
If you don't want to write out a long contract just sit down and have the discussion in front of a video camera.
I did that and when i loaned someone a piece of music equipment that they refused to return and then try to deny that they had it. I just walked into court and played the video and walked out paid...🤑
Thank you Ugo, for allowing me to be even pettier than before. Because of you, I learned I could look up my local theft laws to try and convince a classmate to give me back a charger I let them borrow
I watch you all the time man. You really do make learning law fun. You're like the Niel Degrassi Tyson of law. Cause ya know. He makes science fun lol.
Just took contracts 1 for a masters in the study of law (for a lawyer adjacent profession!)…. Wish you had been our professor! Or that you had these long form videos to reinforce the concepts! But they are still super interesting so I don’t forget the concepts! 😂
Believe it or not, a lot of time we called a plumber or any service technicians, a lot of time they were just quoting the service orally.
We definitely need a common law video
Finally!
Ugo lord video right before eating breakfast god bless
Enjoy your breakfast, my friend!
The law is fun once the cases are intrestinting, which most are, one thing I cant get into tho is watching court proceedings
Thanks! This was very helpful. 😊
(I have no friends to eat food with anyway)
I really wanna know about how oral housing agreements can be used to defend accusations of trespassing or squatting
you replied to my last comment. Keep the streak going ..😊
2 for 2!!
We need attorneys like you in Florida!
You are the greatest, my friend! Thank you so much for watching!
How about telling us about when contracts include unconstitutional stuff. Employment, purchase, and so on.
could you talk about tort law in relation to disasters? like the beirut explosion, oil rig fires/explosions or just factories
sorry i dont know law lingo lmao but ive always wanted to know what happens there, also LOVE THE LONG VIDEOS
yay! my future lawyer !!!!!
I got you my friend!!
Sometimes enforcing such things can get you in trouble. A guy I knew struck a dynamite deal with his job and it turns out the job tried to back out months later. So he brought it up so he could get paid what he was promised. Well they waited for him to make a simple mistake and fired him.
Would be interesting if you covered the Vince McMahon scandal Ugo 👍
Would you be willing to do some self-defense laws explanation?
Re written agreements being better than oral: From a legal perspective, this is correct (a written agreement will always leave you in a stronger legal position), but it is often impractical. For example, if I walk into a store, grab an item off the shelf, bring it to the counter, hand them the appropriate amount of cash, and leave, that is an oral agreement for the purchase of goods, and (assuming the price was below $500), it's valid and enforceable. Nobody in their right mind is going to pull out a pen and paper and try to sign a written agreement with the cashier (especially since most places will give you a paper receipt on request, which provides most of the same protections as a written agreement would).
I love your videos.
Hopefully you'll be able to answer this.
If I did a job for 13k and the customer didn't pay, and the contractors board are saying that customer doesn't have to pay me because there was no contract in writing BUT, she agreed verbally and also via text, can I enforce that?
I know its not about the video but do one on buying cars and down payments and insurance
0:40 she thik
😂😂😂
She fine too
IT DEPENDS
I saw caveat on the thing about paying with legal tender. EG paying off court costs with dollar bills. Ordinarily yes you can pay off your advocated payments with any legal tendwr. however; in one particular case a judge was frustrated because a plaintiff was repeatedly paying off multi-$1,000 payments with dollar bills. So the judge ordered the defendant to only pay the bills in denominations of $10 and above. No one or $5 bills. As it was a waste of the courts time to have to count the payments since it was pretty obvious that was the motive of the defendant.
Sorry was the defendant not the plaintiff
Hello sir,what is difference between agreement and contract...are they both same...
Back in my day, a man word was his bond. But then again I am a prospector from the 1800s, so what do i know.
When you see it
In regards to the painter analogy, is there anything to stop the painter from pulling out of the oral agreement to paint the house before being paid?
I do have a question.
How much does a lawyer get their income each year depending on what they did?
A topic that could be interesting would be about collecting money from a civil suit that isnt enough to afford to hire an attorney. Like wage theft from employers (& in my case, restaurants). I won a default judgement and there was no way to actually collect it. And I paid the court fees!!
Collection is always the hardest part of litigation. I will look into doing a long-form video on it! (unfortunately, jurisdictions vary widely on this topic b/c it's a procedural issue, but let me see what I can do! 😅)

Love me a professional who loves what they do ❤
What about emails? Back in 2017 I had made a deal with a guy to buy a trailer home via email conversation. I was first to look at the place in person. Since other party was not there, I replied to said email conversation saying I'll buy it and asked when to meet for title and cash exchange. He replied back telling me 3pm. This was around 9am. About 130 I get another email from the seller saying it was no longer available as he sold it to someone else. Thoughts?
What about the other side of this topic? When is a written agreement not binding?
No way!
Who knew he hides big guns under his jacket? 0:37
WHEN YOU SEE IT
can get rid of the zoom blur background :)
Did you hear about the wagyu steak that was put up as collateral for a contract?
It was lien beef! 😂
I have a question. Suppose the same parties wanted you to represent both of them, could they take each other to court over using your services?
A pinky promise is a formality used with interlocking fingers
I’m a painter and have been painting random houses for years.
Don’t listen to him.
"i 'll help you move next week.."and then no show up?....
can you say your name slowly? I am watching from Antigua and Barbuda 🇦🇬
lol I think we all assumed he was on some sort of water vehicle or boat. The question was is the operator of the vehicle liable? Is that not obvious!?!
Boy you make law more fun than dying!!!
Oh my goodness dying is not fun! 😂 but I hope I make the law a little less boring 😅
Dude your shirt is way unbuttoned 😆💪
You can enforce an oral contract by getting a written contract 😂
What about Lotto winnings between parties? Does oral agreement apply?
Yes, it absolutely could, but there needs to be a legal concept known as "consideration." Simply saying, "I promise if I win to split it with you," is not enough b/c there is no consideration. But if two people each put in $5 bucks and promise orally to split the jackpot if they win, that's legally enforceable!
@@UgoLord thanks for the quick resp. I have one more re lottery…
What about if 2-3 peeps orally agree that any future winnings of > $1M by either one is binding? Note no contribution of $ involved.
Pinkies up!
The oral agreement that takes more than 1 year to complete needs to be in writing, is that because people can forget the details?
exactly! our memories fade after too much time and two parties could innocently remember things differently. So 1 year is the cap for oral agreements!
The agreement of the people & the Government has been broken what about that Ugo?

Ok but can I record anybody 's conversation in the privacy of my own home without asking for permission?
Nice vid. Get a mic, lots of echoes.
Judge Judy ruled in favor of oral contracts. Granted, we all know the show is arbitration rather than an actual courtroom but as we also all know, arbitration is legally binding it’s used all the time and the way she explained it she looks at the facts of the case. She looks at all the evidence, and then she’s able to concludethat it’s obvious to anybody with a pulse that there was in fact in oral contract
Oh and I couldn’t be thrilled you’re doing long content now.
The person filming is on the boat causing the damage.
