I recently received an inquiry from a caller from the internet who was hoping to force the City to clean up the Kensington neighborhood. This is not something you can sue over as the City has immunity for quality of life issues like this. Nevertheless, what is to be done? Kensington is a mess, an eyesore, a failure of our …
Ah, ye olde Concussion… or Traumatic Brain Injury.
Anyway, concussions are often hard to value for personal injury cases. Most resolve in three months or less. Some linger for 6 months. A few will come with post-concussion syndrome that involves convergence disorder. This is a very concerning condition where your eyes simply do not focus well post-concussion and that creates all sorts of problems in our reading …
So, what is the current state of the Union?
Many of my neusletter readers are professionals and folks with advanced degrees. Many of my clients are middle class or poorer people. The gap between these worlds is rather stark. There was a news item today that binge drinking (5 or more drinks in a sitting) and marijuana use among 35-50 year olds is at record levels and that alcohol …
Summer
I always believe that there is a grand conspiracy, intentional or otherwise, to slow things down for the summer. Lawyers and judges vacation, clients are less interested in stressful depositions, and generally, the practice of law slows down for the summer. It has always been this way as long as I can remember. It is a good time to work …
Go Woke, Go Broke
This nice headline was coined by the New York Post and Mr. Wonderful from Shark Tank. Basically, a lot of very large retailers have learned the hard lesson that not everyone thinks like you do. This is a hard concept to get across to people. If you were a republican legislator in Indiana and you think that everyone in your …

Gwyneth Paltrow Park City Skiing Trial Opinion Fumbled by NY Times
An essay in the NY Times by a blogger and digital media strategist about the Gwyneth Paltrow trial misstates just about everything about your typical personal injury lawsuit. The author, Ms. Spiers, thankfully claims no legal degrees or training and is apparently at the NY Times, which I generally respect, for some sort of pop culture view of things. Nevertheless, …
DRUMMING UP BUSINESS OR DRUMMING YOURSELF TO THE DISCIPLINARY BOARD?
Recently, I took an extraordinary step that I don’t usually take. I am in the middle of a case involving three deaths. Through researching that case, I came across reports of another similar case in the area. I did not know the deceased’s family and ended up contacting them through a letter to which they responded. It ended up that …
A Whiff of Spring – in the East?
It seems like we skipped right over winter this year. This is not good for your local personal injury lawyer. I usually start the year off with a bevy of slip and fall on ice cases and work into the rest of the year from there. This year, not so much. Nevertheless, it is nice to see a warmer season …
