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

...Book 2 will be my insights on professionalism, ethics, morality, politics, religion, health/wellness, and anything smacking of memoir. Book 3 will be my writings on office management, technology, marketing, and social media. These tend to be a bit dated, but they are a snapshot of the evolution of an attorney who started with acetate sleeves for dictation, an I.B.M. Selectric and Mag Card, Apple II, I.B.M. PC, etc. As I have done before, we hope t...

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

...relative to medical treatment, schooling, extra-curricular activities, and religious upbringing. The “non custodial parent” could rage over the administration of the asthma medicine or Ritalin for 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”....

Collegiality, Professionalism, and Burt’s Lie Detector

...e for cancer, to discover calculus, become rich and famous, or found a new religious movement, but that does not mean I want only to take up space in my journey through life. My job is to complete tasks and solve problems, my family’s, my friends’, my clients’ and my own. Each on is a puzzle to be solved. In my professional life, I MUST gather accurate facts, so being a cheerleader for the client makes no sense. And, I must be an advocate for the...

The Education of the Perfect Paralegal

...t, act as a buffer when my blunt ways do not suit a particular client, and religiously follow our checklists, policies, and procedures. I must have files prepared in detail, pre-hearing, pre-mediation, and pre-trial checklists completed, witnesses subpoenaed, and concerns reported to the lawyer. 13. Finally, a rare quality in the typical applicant for a legal assistant’s position in a small town is someone who is well read, curious, and ambitious....

My Prayer for Independence Day 2014

...ething about the critical issues of the day. 5 Consider it a responsibility of our citizenship to continue our educations throughout our lives. Knowledge is power 6. Foster in our children a love of learning and reading. 7. Use our religions as a bastion of core values of right and wrong, justice, and peace, and NOT as an excuse to claim we are better than others with different views. 8. That we all have a heck of a good time this week-end. Don’t...

45 Years After the First Moon Landing

...munism. We have at least one movement trying to take their places, radical religion in its many forms. Fear, hatred, and luddism, on the march. More subtle, but potentially our future dictator, is international capitalism and human greed. Intelligent people everywhere should be very anxious, even afraid, of our uncertain future, our children’s and grandchildren’s. Sadly, it appears our generation will not live to see even a good beginning to the f...

America’s Love Hate Relationship With The Poor.

...do they have? If they do not have to learn the core teachings of the major religions, the fundamentals of the English language, mathematics, history, geography, the history of science, the wisdom of the philosophers of the world, shall we condemn them to sweeping the floor at McDonalds, or to their basement “meth-lab”. I see the same thing for prisoners. We cannot simply warehouse them, or allow them to be part of a prison or gang culture. Incenti...

Social Media Annual Review – Marketing for the Small Firm Lawyer

...e invitations, reposts of kittens, America’s Funniest Videos, political or religious reposts, or our own substantive content, we who elect to be visible on the WEB want to create an impression. I want people to believe I have boundless energy, good humor, valuable experience, a good heart, and brains. Against my best intentions, I “over-do”, but perhaps even that helps convince people I would be a good guy to have on their side. I remind you here...

COMPETENCE

...tribution spreadsheet” of every asset and debt. It is not fun, but I do it religiously. I bring that spreadsheet in my computer to every mediation, adjusting values and balances as necessary so that we always know how close my client is to a 50% – 50% division. We have a rule in our office that nothing goes out of this office without a hook in it. That means we have “a suspense system” taught to me by my Facebook friend Cathy Chipari Page, 45 year...

Publishing my Kindle Books

...f my family law practice. e. My views on politics, science, philosophy and religion. What? What does a small town lawyer know about that. Let’s just say that the past, the present, and the future are “hobbies” of mine. f. And, I still will have a “big book” of my entire blogs, in consecutive order, with table of contents. Sorry I will have to strip out my photos of Lucy and Ethel at the Candy Factory, Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch, and anything el...
