Hanging Out Your Shingle – Not for the Faint of Heart

...shred it. I have 5000 paper client files. It is a HUGE job we have just begun to tackle. Scan all documents as they come in, and you will never face my problem. b. Do not bother with a shredder. Have a bin in the office, and have a bonded company come through each month, take the bin, on wheels, to their truck, and shred it all. All your staff does is drop the documents into the slot.

Lawyers who advertise heavily on television may be excellent, or may be not. You may have them directly involved in your case; perhaps not. 75% of “bread and butter” personal injury cases settle without suit, and 90% settle without a trial. Why? When fault is clear and injuries unambiguous, a good lawyer and ex...

...agers, Microsoft To Do and Apple’s “Reminders”.   I stumbled on and have begun to like very much, my iPhone’s “Reminders”. The key there is “voice recognition” and “voice to text”.   e.g. “Siri, remind me to take my phone with me to work.” “Remind me to go to the store after I leave the office.” Remind of (book), (podcast), (new item).   It is an essential part of my day now to be able to look up that author, book, song, or article.   It lets me c...

Mediation Food for Thought

INTRODUCTION I am pleased that we have begun a dialogue within the WV State Bar regarding mediation and other innovations in family law justice and administration. Below are the four components of my thoughts, personal views only; 1. A memorandum espousing innovation in mediation and family law practice. 2. A “Mediation Basics” instructional handout to be read and signed by every family court litigant; 3. A “Mediation Intake” form; and, 4. A very...
