Fountain Girl is No Longer a Laughing Matter
If you have been online or have watched TV lately, you have more than likely saw the video of a young woman falling face first into a fountain while texting. The video went viral over night; it should have, it was funny!
In this one short video you not only have the slapstick humor of someone falling (harmlessly into a public fountain, but also have a pretty accurate illustration of our current society. A society so attached to our cell phones and their constant distractions that we sometimes forget about the simple things – like walking.
More than anything, it was just plain harmless comedy.
Well guess what? The young lady isn’t laughing and, along with her lawyer, has decided to make a mockery of our justice system by attempting to sue the mall and its security guards.
The Promises We Make…To Ourselves
Every January, millions of people take the New Year as an opportunity to make changes in their life.

When a person is killed by a defective or dangerous product, or they lose a loved one because of another person’s negligence or malpractice, they come to a personal injury attorney. They come to us because they deserve to have somebody there to protect their rights – and that will not be the insurance company.
I can say this because I was on the other side. I used to defend the companies and insurance agencies that I now protect my clients from. The difference between now and then is that now I am on the right side of the fight, representing those who deserve a voice and an advocate for their rights.
Explosions and Dollar Signs
If you own a TV, drive down the highway or listen to the radio, you have more than likely come to the realization that tasteless attorney advertising is not only a reality but an epidemic. Almost anything is possible when it comes to attorney advertising and marketing.
A Tragic Reminder of Why I Do What I Do
As a personal injury attorney, I get asked a lot of questions about why I do what I do. Questions about why I choose to fight for individuals when I could just as easily defend big businesses and insurance companies. Questions of how I am able to deal with families that have been through such […]
Not All Attorneys are Created Equal- Tips for Choosing the Right Lawyer, FOR YOU
Hiring a lawyer is not an easy task. For the majority of people, the need for a lawyer is unexpected. Often times the circumstances surrounding the hiring of a lawyer are traumatic for the family involved. In my more than 20 years in this profession, I have had to not only represent families, but often times console them as well. The importance of this client/attorney relationship during what is sure to be an emotionally charged period for the family cannot go unnoticed.
