Is It Ok to Bite My Child?

...title to this blog post. I might settle for one almost as simple, “That depends.”, but the answer is not simple.

You may buy it, “Perspectives of a Small Town Lawyer”, and download it for a mere $2.99. If you do so and would also like a PDF version for your iPad or PC, just let me know, and I will e-mail you a link to download....

The Challenges to Modern Religion: Part II

...roven wrong. I am going to be living in a world where fewer people are descended from one major ethnic strand. I will be living in a world where the view of what a man and a women should be will change, and the divisions of male and female, gay and straight, will change and become endlessly nuanced. I am pretty sure I will go to my grave believing that a “real man” is brave, is gentle, is caring, is compassionate, is tough, is protective, is stubb...

Fat, the Law, and Society

...ith the adult licensed drivers. They put themselves in the shoes of the defendant and tend not to be generous to children. 12. Whether they admit it or not, the jury tends to believe that the obese person somehow deserves the greater injury and will not compensate them for it. 13. I once had a client, who weighed over 500 lb., who nearly lost the ability to walk from an impact that did not seriously injure his much smaller wife. Yet, the insurance...

How Can I Get My Children’s Parenting Plan Modified?

...ADHD, and some even sneaked their children to another Dr. during the week-ends, but it was far from a healthy situation. One parent kept “control”, and the other was clearly “second class”. Often the Court referred to that parent as the “absent parent”. Father’s and men’s rights organizations were militantly against that status quo.

...ns MONEY to the lawyers and savings to the client. A few tips: a. You can send a document that the other side can change but ONLY if you approve it. b. You can send a colleague a huge document by asking him if he wants it, and if he says yes, letting him download it instead of exceeding the limits of your e-mail server. c. You can attach balloon comments, color coded typewritten tracked changes, even audio notes to your staff, in order to facilita...

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

...es. 4. Or the litigation is in a part of the state where parties’ lawyers tend not to attend mediation! I am a strong proponent of mediation in family court and civil court and am sorry it is not used in other kinds of cases. But what if it just is not going to happen? Let’s consider negotiated settlement, especially face to face settlement meetings: 1. Court mandated face to face settlement meetings can be powder kegs. Family Court “screens for m...

Where to Find Words of Wisdom – Or “Which Button Do I Push?”

...ly recognizes this important role that the local “deeds and wills” lawyer has to pay. The Billboard and T.V. lawyers all appear to be aggressive and competent, but their colleagues tend to know the “real deals” from the pretenders. After all, of our payday depends on picking the right person, so we ARE going to pick someone we know to be competent. TWO sources of wisdom: Dan’ Ringer’s The Law Works, and your good old reliable local lawyer!  ...

Burton Hunter’s Letter to New Clients

...at the e-mail usually gets me to do something, reply, forward, check my calendar, walk across the room. Those actions forward your case. I tend to copy several of my staff. The billing clerk does her thing, as does the paralegal, scheduling clerk, and receptionist. Like it or not, I find it a fair and reasonable method of “keeping score”. d. Accusatory #2: “You just don’t understand.” With 40+ years’ experience and 5000 cases, 3000 of which were f...
