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.

I look at New Year’s resolutions as promises we make to ourselves to better ourselves in the new year. These promises can often span many different areas of your life and vary from person to person. Although they can touch on different goals and aspects of a person’s life, resolutions are unified by the simple theme of becoming a better person and improving our life.

As another year draws to a close, I find this a great time to reflect on the past 12 months, as well as look forward to 2011. It has been a privilege to represent a great number of clients this year in a wide range of cases. From car wrecks and product liability cases to daycare abuse and catastrophic birth injuries, we have been hard at work fighting for our clients’ justice and rights, securing well deserved settlements and verdicts, as well as holding individuals, businesses and companies accountable for their actions.

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.

Almost anything is possible when it comes to attorney advertising and marketing.

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.
