    100 Hilarious Jokes, Because No One Is Too Old to Laugh!

    Denver also puts ads on its buses and light rail, and a lot of those are lawyer ads. Rafi doesn't say anything that would lead anyone to think he's any better than any other lawyer. But at least his phone number can't missed. I lived in the Philly suburbs for a number of years. That bald...

    100 Hilarious Jokes, Because No One Is Too Old to Laugh!

    I know for a fact that this billboard would get the attorney in trouble in my state. We had a couple of attorneys with billboards like that all over town then one week they all disappeared, replaced by much more toned down ads. In my state implying you'll get someone a big award in a lawsuit is...

    100 Hilarious Jokes, Because No One Is Too Old to Laugh!

    In my state, attorneys have to have their photos on their ads. Maybe that's the rule in whatever state this guy is located, too. If it wasn't required, I certainly wouldn't put my face on that billboard. I'd be much to embarrassed to walk around in public and have someone recognize me as "that...

    100 Hilarious Jokes, Because No One Is Too Old to Laugh!

    One of the well known billboard advertising attorneys here had one of his billboards put up upside down. My guess is that his billboards weren't doing the job like they used to because everyone has seen them hundreds of time. Thankfully I don't need to use billboard ads to get clients.

    How would I proceed request an item from a friend's estate?

    Fourteen years is a long time and it's possible your friend no longer had it after all those years. Regardless there is no legal action you can take to get it back. You have to rely on the generosity of whomever has it now, if anyone. The first thing you need to do is figure out how your...

    This is a test.

    Classic algebra math problem. They'll have a closing speed of 150mph and the approximate distance is 790 miles. Time to meet 790m/150mph = 5.27 hours. NY train travels 369 west of NY and the Chicago train travels 421 miles east of Chicago. That puts the train in eastern Ohio, either closer to...

    D-DAY - June 6, 1944. 82d Anniversary

    The English Channel is not very wide, only about 90 miles at the closest points between England and France. That distance doesn't seem like a whole lot, but when it comes to military invasions it's a formidable task. The Allied invasion consisted of over 7000 vessels departing from different...

    Alito’s Son Working for Treasury Department - Conflict of Interest?

    Apparently both of Trump's sons are in on the drone deal. It's an ethics problem for sure. Unfortunately, as the Trump family seems to be significantly ethically challenged, they likely never bothered to look into the issue.

    Premises Liability I broke my wrist at the apartment complex where I live, can I sue them

    I suspect that what you really want to know is whether you have a shot to win a money judgment in your favor. That depends on the details of where in the complex it happened, how exactly you ended up breaking your risk and what the landlord did or didn't do that was the primary cause of the...

    Landlord threatening and rude comments

    If your landlord starts eviction proceedings, consult a landlord-tenant attorney for help. If you can't afford to pay a lawyer's fees there are likely several different resources in your state where you might get free or low cost legal help. The landlord has a right to be upset if she hasn't...

    Is this just unethical or downright malpractice?

    It is not malpractice. Malpractice is delivering professional services that fall below the minimal accepted standards of practice for that profession. How much you paid for the service is not a malpractice issue. This is, instead, a contract law matter. Don't automatically assume the doctor...

    Alito’s Son Working for Treasury Department - Conflict of Interest?

    It's not an automatic legal conflict of interest. A legal conflict occurs when a lawyer represents a client whose interests conflict with another client's interests or when the representation would conflict with other interests of the lawyer, e.g. financial interests. Here, the conflict that...

    Litigiousness isn't only found in the States! Who woulda thunk it! :D

    I think that's right. We (all of us) had a similar discussion about mod powers a few years ago. :D

    Dog Shoots Woman

    She would likely have a good claim against whomever left the loaded gun there. While that's mostly likely the gun owner we don't have all the facts to know how the loaded ended up where it was. The dog is free and clear. The dog didn't know it was loaded and didn't have any intent to shoot...
