Fraud on the Court
Just a reminder to whomever reads this blog and is in litigation; just like the political candidates your past is important. So is your recall. There are many attempts by insurance defense lawyers to destroy your claim. This is of course their job and fair game. Your past personal history and more importantly your… Read More »
permanent drivers’ license revocation
As we know many of us when we were younger made decisions that were without much thought of what we were doing or the long term consequences. Lately in my practice I’ve seen many people with significant drivers’ license suspensions with little relief available. Sadly, had they retained the right lawyer years ago the… Read More »
Who received the ticket? Will you hear the answer in court?
Did you know who received the “ticket” is not admissible in a Florida jury trial for negligence? The rationale is a jury will give unfair weight to the police officer’s determination of fault in an accident. It really makes sense if you think about it. A jury is supposed to be the fact finder,… Read More »
trial in today’s electronic age
I’d like some feedback from my loyal blog readers. Recently while attending a seminar there was a vendor advertising they could cull through a potential jurors facebook page and other social media sites while we were “deselecting” jurors.

the “almost like new car” scam
Recently I bought a new car. Or I should say almost like new. Like a lot of you I needed a new car but wanted to save on some of the new car depreciation. You’ve all heard the old saying, “once you drive it out of the dealership it’s worth ten thousand less than… Read More »
Don’t Trust the Marketers
I was on the internet last night and was guided to a “competitors” website. They were proudly announcing they had been selected as one of Florida’s top 100 litigators. What’s a politically correct way to say I almost vomited? I’d believe Abraham Lincoln our 16th president is still alive before I’d believe this blatant… Read More »
