New for December 2008:
Updates: December 2008: Can I Afford Not to Get A Divorce
This Month's Article is about the fact that many of you with marital problems
are putting off dealing with your situation because of financial problems. While
that may seem like the proper thing to do, I assure you that it isn't. The least
of your concerns are the immediate costs to you. Given your financial situation,
you might find that statement somewhat harsh, but I assure you that it isn't. It
is simply the truth and should be looked at in that light. First of all the
immediate financial aspects may be the least of your concerns. For example,
let's say that you have been married eight years. You are dangerously close to
being married ten years the magic cut off point that the Courts use in
determining if you have a long term marriage or not. This can mean the
difference between paying spousal support for more than ten years instead of
maybe five years or less. Do the math; if you pay one thousand dollars a month
Spousal Support for five years you will pay a mere bagatelle of only $60,000.00
for those five years. If you do nothing and your marriage is determined to be
a long term marriage and you get stuck for over ten years you will pay at least
$120,000.00 for the ten years.
We also want you to know that we will be adding
more content to our site from now on. Instead of saving all the material to be
release all at once, we will be adding the material as we go along. In order to
not miss out on the valuable information that we provided, please add us to your

concentrating our efforts in the Landlord-Tenant and Family Law areas.
Updates: Second Opinion Service:
Have you ever wished that you could get another opinion
without spending a fortune. Well you can. Is your current attorney not returning
your calls? Is he or she talking down to you and treating you like a moron? Well
you don't have to take it anymore. You need a "SECOND OPINION" and you need it
now. In August of 2004 we introduced a new service that will allow you to get a
low cost second opinion without any further obligation.
We believe that by providing you with reliable information, you will receive incredible personal power to make the
good decisions. While you may not always like what you learn, at least you can
rely on it being the truth. Armed with reliable information, not

Updates:
Expert Witness Service:
An expert witness is someone who possesses
special training or experience that enables the trier
of fact (jury or judge) to ascertain something that is beyond their skill or
experience. Which simply means that the judge or jury lacks the special
training or education to determine the truth or falsity of a particular issue. This can mean
someone like an attorney or doctor who has special training and experience or a
mechanic that has special experience is called upon to assist them in reaching
their verdict. There is no limit to the type of
experience that can be treated as a specialty. My special training is in the practice
of law that coupled with my over 28 years of experience gives me the ability to
hold myself out as an expert witness. A mechanic may be qualified as an expert
because of their training and experience as well.
When will you need
an expert witness? You will probably need an expert witness when you decide to
look into whether or not your previous attorney committed malpractice. For
example, did your previous attorney not listen to your needs? Did they ignore
presenting evidence that was important to your case? Did they fail to
prepare themselves and you adequately for trial? If they did, and you feel that
you have been damaged by their negligence, then you are entitled to compensation
for their negligence. You will need to contact a malpractice attorney that will
handle the case for you. In addition, you will need an expert witness to testify
at trial that your previous attorney was negligent.

Change of Attorneys Fees Rate:
Effective April 1, 2007 we will be
raising our hourly rate for Attorneys fees from $300.00 to $325.00 per hour.
This increase is the first increase in over 7 years, and is the direct result of
the dramatic rise in Energy costs. I am sure that you have noticed that gas prices are
spiraling through the roof. This has led to an increase in all prices across the
board. Our vendors have raised their fees and as a result we can no longer
absorb the increase in costs. We are therefore forced to raise our fees to
offset these raising costs. Obviously I wish that I didn't have to raise
my rates too, but I really don't have a choice. I have tried to keep the
increase modest and in proportion to the increase of costs.
