Woman Used a Commercial Will Instead of a Lawyer
June 12, 2014 by
The Florida Bar News edition from June 1, 2014 features an article about a woman who chose to use a commercial or generic will instead of working with a lawyer to prepare a specific will for her needs.
In this case the commercial will form saved her some money in preparing the document. But it cost her family much more in litigating the will that the initial lawyer would have been. The problem experienced by this woman could have been easily avoided by addressing all the necessary items in the will had she chosen to use an attorney. This is not an uncommon story
2014 Barry Law Review Symposium – Jury Selection
February 19, 2014 by
I am proud to support the local legal community and Barry University School of Law by participating in this symposium. It will be a good day – look for me in “Jury Selection” from 11am – 12noon. I bring a unique combination of experience in trials and jury selection as I have 12 years as an Assistant Public Defender and 16 years as a private civil and criminal attorney. Many people do not consider that a family law attorney with criminal experience can be the difference between a successful trial and a trial filled with missed opportunities, inadmissible evidence, and other issues that may make or break a case.
