Voting is one of our most precious American rights, but yet many of us do not understand the process by which our President, the leader of the free world, is selected. Many of the Founding Fathers were well schooled in ancient history and its lessons. So, it is no accident that the structure of the Electoral College can be traced…[...]

In nursing home and medical malpractice cases, the proof of the negligence is often contained in the medical records.  In our trucking disaster cases, the severe and significant injuries suffered by our clients are documented in those records as well.…[...]

I can’t remember the last time I missed a trick-or-treat night. Having children ranging from age 28 all the way down to seven, and if I include my own childhood, well, I’ve rarely missed a trick or treat night.  To be perfectly frank, I gave birth to my third child on Oct. 26, and I was sure to take my…[...]
