Free E-575 page e-Book – Absolutely Everything I’ve Written in Four Years!

...of WV Insurance coverages, the fundamentals of family court, the myths of personal injury law, or how to organize the facts in your case, I believe my writings can be very helpful. As for my personal views, they are very strongly held, but they are backed by a great deal of reading and thought. Argument is my way of life, so I will be happy to discuss any of them. I try not just to criticize or whine. I want my writings to be: Educational; Useful...

A Proposal on Behalf of New and Small Firm WV Lawyers – A Turnkey Office Technology System

...or contacts calendar and tasks, and separate proprietary databases for our personal injury practice and another for our client data and billing. They are not systems I can sell or give away, nor can I give them up, because replacing them will be cost prohibitive. That is why every young attorney should get fully established in a long term, full-featured, practice management software application at the beginning. Even if he/she later switches, the...

Photographic Literacy: Ideas for the Small Firm Lawyer or Intelligent Lay Person

...f my wills have ever been successfully challenged. I photograph many of my personal injury auto accident scenes, even supplementing my accident reconstructionist. When I meet the clients early enough, I photograph my clients’ injuries. It is shocking how poor the photos are that clients’ family, or even police officers, take of such injuries. I photograph my inspections of real estate. Recently, I was pleased I could provide to my three sibling cl...

How an Attorney Can Be a Good Adversary

...nt numbers, and account balances. 3. The equivalent to this information in personal injury claims is all medical bills and records, documentation of lost wages and benefits, client diaries, and “lay witness letters” describing the claimant’s behavior before and after the collision. 4. A good adversary, when assigned to do an order by the Court , completes that order in less than a week, copies the other party, allows input when possible, and does...

Robert M. Morris; a Lawyer for Others to Emulate.

...be of service. It was as if our firm still existed. He would call me about personal injury, family, and civil matters, and, after he became assistant prosecuting attorney, I would call him on juvenile, criminal, and real estate matters. Bob was honest, caring, smart, meticulous, dutiful, serious about his craft, witty (especially at serious moments such as funerals), diligent every day of his life, well-liked by colleagues, friends, and family, bu...

2021 Revised: Digging Down – On Organizing and Preparing Your Case

...All those pieces must be present for the Court to “picture” the case. In a personal injury claim there are witnesses to the collision, an investigating officer, emergency personnel, photographs, the accident report, cell phone records, medical bills, medical records, journals, lay witnesses who know my client well, expert witnesses, and myriad other “puzzle pieces”. In a real estate dispute there are deeds, wills, deeds of trust, angry neighbors (or...

You Aren’t Going to Mediation! (Now what will you do?)

...y court lawyers, but lay people may benefit. Let’s keep something in mind. Personal injury and civil mediation are different from family mediation. People are representing themselves in family court perhaps 70% of the time and somehow surviving. There are mandatory forms, parenting classes, and a form of “one size fits all justice”. I do not recommend it, but it’s happening. I have dealt with self-representation (pro se) in family court elsewhere....

Enhancing the Human Brain 2022. 2.0

...reve in creating modules for billing and time management, client data, and personal injury practice management. We use those systems today. They still work. Service providers want $10,000-$15,000 to convert our data to a new system. We can do a “conflict search” back over 40 years! As I have a five year window before I hang it up, I probably won’t convert. But look below for a good practice management system, Clio. This is the icon for you Apple i...

Social Media for Lawyers, and Real People

...book, but I still doubt I can make it work. I just don’t know if divorce, personal injury law, and civil litigation, can generate enough interest to generate “followers” to my tweets. But, I think it is the combination that may work in time. I have 255 Facebook Friends. It could be 1000, but I have been very careful. I backed off at 120, below 100, and started anew. I accept or request people I really know, sometimes a close relative of someone I...
