Why You Should Never Use a Court-Appointed Lawyer

Lawyers

One of the most important things to consider when hiring a lawyer is the lawyer's ethics. You want an attorney who will always put you first, not someone who will put his or her interests and reputation first. Most lawyers will not even tell you if they are Court Appointed or not – and that's just one of the reasons why you should never use a Court Appointed Attorney. Attention When you go into court for a hearing, you are allowed to be represented by a lawyer. But you don't have to hire one. You can represent yourself. And you should. When you hire a private attorney, you can be assured that they will be focused and considerate of your individual needs and situation. They will ensure that your case…

What is Comparative Fault?

General Legal

Comparative fault is a legal doctrine that allows a plaintiff to recover full damages for a tort committed by a defendant who was not acting in concert with the plaintiff. In other words, a defendant may be found to be liable for a wrong committed by another under a theory of "guilt by association."

It also applies to claims of negligence, such as in automobile accidents and medical malpractice cases. Comparative Fault is a part of the "fault" part of the…

What To Consider Before Becoming A Whistleblower

General Legal

When you see something wrong happening in a business and think it's a violation of law, you might think twice about complaining. But, sometimes, the right thing to do is to raise your concerns with the appropriate people as a whistleblower and not keep it to yourself. If you're considering blowing the whistle on another person or business, you may be wondering what the pitfalls are. Here are a few things to consider. The first is probably the most obvious: most people who do this are successful targets and don't want to jeopardize their future by taking on a nobody who has no leverage against them. The second is that this type of situation is generally a "he said, she said" scenario. The whistleblower only has her word, and whether…

Why Are Record Expungements Important?

General Legal, Legal Matters

In the wake of the #MeToo movement, many advocates have mounted a renewed push for the expungement of felony convictions from the records of thousands of people after they're released from prison or dismissed from community service for something such as misdemeanor crimes. The idea is that millions of people either charged or convicted of felonies have their records on file, making it difficult for those people to find and retain jobs, housing, and other necessities. Records are often sealed due to concerns about the victim's privacy, but records are also often sealed due to public safety concerns. In either case, a sealed record should not be an excuse for the general public to carry on as if the person who committed the offense never existed. It is incumbent upon…
