Albany Criminal Lawyer- July 25, 2008 We've had a burst of clients needing a criminal lawyer in Albany. The unusual part of the spike is cases in the federal court here, related to border problems. So far it's a great example of how foolish our government policies are.We spend billions of dollars of taxpayer money trying to keep drugs, foreigners, and - believe it or not - money from entering our country. Through this policy we are telling millions of people they are not welcome here. And of course, the policy doesn't work well at..http://albany-lawyer.blogspot.com/2008/07/albany-criminal-lawyer.html Speeding tickets and GPS- July 22, 2008 Just saw a great story on using GPS (global positioning system) to fight a speeding ticket. Check it out on the Press Democrat.http://albany-lawyer.blogspot.com/2008/07/speeding-tickets-and-gps.html Tuolumne County Superior Court - Interesting Grand Jury Report- July 22, 2008 Apparently the Tuolumne County Grand Jury (in Sonora, California) covers a lot more ground than the grand jury here in Albany or in most other places. I was adding an entry for the courts in Tuolumne County when I came across this.They investigate public agencies and seem to find a high degree of professionalism everywhere. I get the feeling their investigations may be somewhat limited in scope, and guided by a public official. You can see the most recent report (including detailed subreports)..http://albany-lawyer.blogspot.com/2008/07/tuolumne-county-superior-court.html A different take on traffic court- July 20, 2008 Check out this story about traffic court in England.

David Cooper, our senior associate, has done a lot of work to prepare for handling these transactions, and we've handled a couple so far. First victim was my mother, so David made sure to get it right. :-)In addition to closings, we also handle real estate litigation in Albany. I have a lot of experience in that area. When I worked as a law clerk for a judge, we saw several disputes over property lines. We also saw...http://albany-lawyer.blogspot.com/2008/07/real-estate-in-albany.html Lawyers Marketing on the Web: Controversy- July 4, 2008 I've posted in the past about some dubious lawyer marketing. Most recently I posted about an upstate lawyer with a DWI business model for sale.Another aspect of this kind of marketing is a variety of lawyer websites, along the lines of superfreakingawesomelawyers.com. Not a real website as far as I know, but you get the idea. Usually it's really a name like topiclawyers.com, or topic.com, where the word topic is replaced by the area of law -- personalinjury, or dwi, etc.All of this web stuff...http://albany-lawyer.blogspot.com/2008/07/lawyers-marketing-on-web-controversy.html |
