Making us Safer.
Setting aside all of the lawyer jokes, it is a fact that attorneys make our hospitals, products and drivers safer. Sometimes, we hold corporate America accountable when our government fails to do so.

 


After a Federal Judge blamed the FAA for my client's crash, controllers have to provide timely and accurate weather.

Channel 4 reported
that my client's wheel fell off minutes after his tires
were rotated. We sued because the dealership
refused to take any responsibility. It now requires its mechanics to use a torque wrench to ensure tightness.

Lawyers Sue State
Over Adoption Backlog

TALLAHASSEE, Fla., Nov. 25 /PRNewswire/ --

In an unusual legal action, attorneys and children's rights advocates, Helen Spohrer and Barry Newman, filed a Petition for a Writ of Mandamus in the First District Court of Appeal today. The filing, which comes just three days after National Adoption Day, asks The First District Court of Appeal to force Florida's Department of Children and Families to end an adoption backlog of more than 100 children in Duval County, Florida. "There are at least 100 children in Duval County who should have been adopted by now, but are caught in the system's red tape," said in a press conference held yesterday in Jacksonville.
