The AGs Have Filed A Lawsuit Over the Health Care Act
Here is a copy of the Complaint filed in the Northern District of Florida. It alleges several violations of Article One and the Tenth Amendment and seeks declarative and injunctive relief.
The World’s Worst Client
Clients will engage in all kinds of self destructive behavior. Why? Beats me.
This guy walked himself to the death penalty with his random act of idiocy.
Thatcher’s Fight Against Socialism
Britain was suffering from terrible economic times in 1979. Socialism had driven it to financial ruin. It was in that environment that Margaret Thatcher entered the Prime Minister’s office and began her program of taking apart the British socialist regime. Of course, just eleven years later politicians had conveniently forgotten the lessons of 1979.

Talk about insulting.
Do Not Name Your Baby Lindsay, You Might Get Sued
The New York Times has provided us with a dire warning. If you use the name Lindsay in a commercial you may be sued by someone named Lindsay. I wish I were kidding. I wonder if the litigation strategy is “wolf style”?
When Credit Card Fees Go Wild
This lady would have been much better off if she just went into default and was sued by her creditor. Heck, interest on a judgment is usually much lower than that of a credit card agreement.
She was very lucky that an understanding judge heard the case and took the time to review the file. The end result was in her favor.
Lawyer Market Saturation?
Recently there have been a number of articles discussing a saturation of the market for lawyers. Based on my experience this is not the case. Throughout my law practice I have found many avenues a licensed lawyer can follow to generate revenue.
If someone really cared to review the history of the legal marketplace they might be surprised to find that it has always catered to those with an entrepreneurial nature. What has skewed the perception of the legal market is the relatively new development known as biglaw. The term biglaw has no set definition; it appears to include any firm over 500 lawyers where corporations are the main clients and the starting salary is over $145,000.
For some reason a large number of bitter individuals have chosen to refer to anything that is not biglaw as sh**law. This is unacceptable. For generations lawyers have represented individuals and protected the rights of the public on a solo or small firm basis. The law is a calling, if you entered the profession seeking nothing but immediate access to wealth you will be disappointed.
The $1,000 Toothbrush
I am curious how the health care bill proponents plan on managing the crazy bills generated by hospitals. Having litigated a large number of medical claims on behalf of clients I would have to say this is not some rare occurrence.
