Los Angeles Traffic Court story- June 25, 2008 Just a quick one - the following is a great story about handling a speeding ticket in Los Angeles. The Los Angeles traffic court does not come off well. Great photos, good story, etc.http://albany-lawyer.blogspot.com/2008/06/los-angeles-traffic-court-story.html Certified Pre-Owned and Leasing- June 25, 2008 I'm getting ready to replace my car. I've had it for 6 years and nearly 110K miles. The backseat is getting too small - something about how the special car seats for kids force their legs forward at an angle - yet another reason why Americans want larger cars.I've been told leasing is a lot better because of the tax benefits. I don't completely understand, but I want to work with that. It hasn't worked out how I expected.A lot of car companies have certified pre-owned (CPO) programs. This is a..http://albany-lawyer.blogspot.com/2008/06/certified-pre-owned-and-leasing.html Google Analytics, Dublin and Digiweb- June 23, 2008 I've noticed through Google Analytics, for some time now, that my sites get unusually heavy traffic from what appears to be one user in Dublin, Ireland. Nearly all visitors from Dublin are using Linux with the Mozilla browser with Digiweb as the network location. I see the same thing on each of my websites that I look at.So either there's a massive hive of people using one set of identical computers in Dublin, or maybe it's really a botspider indexing the web.Comments appreciated.http://albany-lawyer.blogspot.com/2008/06/google-analytics-dublin-and-digiweb.html New speeding ticket pages- June 21, 2008 We added some new speeding ticket information pages to the Redlich Law Firm website for other states today.First we added a page about Pennsylvania speeding tickets. My associate has been pushing me to add such content.We also added a page for Connecticut speeding tickets. We've heard that out-of-state tickets don't affect them - but I read the law and there's a clear statute that says they are supposed to show up on a CT driving record. They may even be worse than an in-state ticket.More to...http://albany-lawyer.blogspot.com/2008/06/new-speeding-ticket-pages.html The Testiliar and Barney Fife- June 13, 2008 As our firm progresses I've been spending less time in court. Our associates have been doing most of the traffic court appearances, while I spend more time managing the firm. But once in a while I still get out there. I'm still the main lawyer for hearings and trials.The other day I had two hearings (yes, in one day). Thus I was presented with a stark contrast between two kinds of police officer. The first cop was gaming the system. On every question he was trying to figure out where I was...http://albany-lawyer.blogspot.com/2008/06/testiliar-and-barney-fife.html Traffic Court Hits 75K- June 12, 2008 Our traffic court website reached a new level the other day, with over 75,000 visits and over 65,000 unique visitors in 31 days. There were nearly 170,000 pageviews as well.We've been adding courts in a few states. Our California traffic courts page now covers 23 counties, and the Los Angeles traffic courts page has become one of the busiest pages on the site. I'm not sure why, but the Alhambra court page is one of the top court pages.We've also gotten a good start on Houston on our Texas...http://albany-lawyer.blogspot.com/2008/06/traffic-court-hits-75k.html Judicial salaries- June 12, 2008 I saw this comment on the Times Union Capitol Confidential blog: "Students graduating from law school this year (who have not even passed the bar exam) are making more then these judges who have worked hard through out their career to be voted or appointed to these positions."Yes, a few law graduates get jobs at $160Kyear. It's also true that once or twice a year a high school kid goes to the NBA and makes millions. Bill Gates made billions after he dropped out of college. But in reality there..http://albany-lawyer.blogspot.com/2008/06/judicial-salaries.html Prosecutors: Some Things Never Change- June 6, 2008 I've blogged a lot in the past about prosecutors in the Albany area. I had a new experience about a half-hour ago that I feel compelled to relate.In one local county the District Attorney's office has undergone a lot of changes in the past year or so. I had substantial problems with that office in the past. With the recent changes I had hoped that things would be better. Today tells me I might be wrong.We have a case that's been around for a while. Our client was charged with a misdemeanor, but.http://albany-lawyer.blogspot.com/2008/06/prosecutors-some-things-never-change.html The Jeff Gaul Chronicles- June 3, 2008 Read my latest post about Jeff Gaul. Only if you're interested in crazy Albany politics stuff.http://albany-lawyer.blogspot.com/2008/06/jeff-gaul-chronicles.html Film Festival for Albany Indie Team- June 2, 2008 My buddies the Masuccis have a short film that is playing in some festivals.
