of online accounts are posing such real-life questions for lawyers who concentrate in estate planning. But it remains an evolving
question how wills, trusts and power of attorney grants will address these and other staples of the Internet age.

Kelly LucasThe 2012 elections are finally over. And while I think most people, with the possible exception of mail carriers and holiday
Scrooges, are happy to have gift catalogs replace political flyers in their mailboxes, I would bet that no group is happier
to see election season come to an end than the county clerks.

Kim BrandThe modern fax machine was introduced in 1964 by Xerox. Fast forward to today. Unless you use a typewriter, there are no other
machines in your office that have remained essentially unchanged in form and function for almost 50 years. Fax is ubiquitous,
reliable, simple and cheap. Why would you want to mess that up?

I highly recommend Deanna and her team of professionals that serve the legal community. Great information and many thanks for sharing.
they are pushing these cases against lawyers too far. thought-crime.
vagueness cannot challenged, so let's write all laws vaguely and throw the constitution out the window.Even if the court is operating under a particular law, if they don't it they will change it to their liking. What a joke!!!
Two convictions becomes one conviction with exactly the same sentence, only it is not clear wheter or not that sentence will be 18 months, 120 months or 138 months. Actually if the guns were in a home, whether or not they were his, he is protected under the 2nd amendment. Jurors need to learn the law and the constitution before judging others. The cour5ts need to do this as well.
With all due respect, Rick, I think you probably would be making a mistake by going to law school. The job market for attorneys is so saturated, you may well find yourself unemployed and with a lot of debt. You mention law would be a good supplement to your skills. True. But employers unfortunately don't value that. You will find that a law degree may well pigeonhole you into an attorney slot and limit career options. If you have a good job now I would hold onto that. As an attorney, you may well end up making less with the aforementioned debt.
