Will Your Family Physician See You After Your Car Wreck
So, you’ve been in a car crash and you’re achy and sore. You didn’t go to an emergency room because you knew you didn’t have any broken bones, internal injuries or bleeding. Will your long term family doctor now see you to assess the injuries? Well, of course, my family doctor will see me. Why wouldn’t he? I’ve been a patient for years! There’s about a 50-50 chance your primary care physician will want nothing to do with you after a crash. Is it because they can’t Read More +

Many businesses and even households are going paperless by storing documents on CDs or DVDs. What to do with the old paperwork? The questions arises, do I have to shred everything?

A court of law is not the Casino at the Monte Carlo. Tuxes and evening dresses are not required. What is required is common sense.

Nothing sends me faster to the mute button on the remote other than TV lawyer ads. One in particular is very grating. A spokes-lawyer for a gigantic mega firm in many states advising consumers to ask their lawyer, “How many multi-million dollar verdicts do you have under your belt?” Now, there are big firms with a track record of gigantic verdicts, however, that’s not the norm. Not nearly. Multi-million cases come along to small firms and sole-practitioners a few times in a career, if we’re Read More +
