Under appropriate circumstances, New Jersey law [Rule 1:38-3(d)] permits certain cases to be "anonymized" through the use of initials, instead of full names. L.C. v. V.C., New Jersey App. Div., August 2, 2012 [read post]

Perhaps fortunately, we won’t have to worry about the prospect of flying lemons dropping from the sky any time soon. If you have a real, land-based, lemon this website is intended to provide you with the tools to make an informed decision about your vehicle under the North Carolina Lemon Law. [read post]

NOT CHARGED – Minor in Possession/Consumption of Alcohol, State v. Mr. S. (DMC No. 7064) (City of Tempe): Mr. S. was in a vehicle with his friends on Mill Avenue with an open container in his hand when a bicycle cop rode up. He told the driver of the vehicle to pull over, and then he questioned the occupants about their ages. We were able to show that there was no reasonable suspicion to stop, and the decision was made not to file charges by the Tempe City Prosecutor’s Office. [read post]

NOT CHARGED – Discharging a Firearm, State v. Mr. G. (DMC No.7184): Mr. G. had been accused by his boss of displaying a weapon with a suppressor and firing it into the canal while at a construction job site. He had been terminated from the job site after the police report was made. We were able to show that his boss did not actually witness any of the allegations, and probably made up the accusations in order to have a reason to fire Mr. G. No charges were ever brought against him. [read post]

We previously posted about the "Hot Coffee" documentary by Susan Saladoff, which exposes how corporations, like big insurance companies, spend millions of dollars so that injury victims do not receive fair trials and are not fairly compensated for their personal injury damages.
They have used one case, the "McDonalds coffee" case, to brainwash the general public (including jurors and politicians) into believing there are too many frivolous lawsuits and that lawsuits cause prices and insurance rates… [read post]

NOT CHARGED – Concealed Weapon Violation, State v. Mr. S. (DMC No. 6979): Mr. S. was a motorcycle rider who was stopped near Flagstaff, Arizona. The police felt that he was wearing a jacket that would be indicative of belonging to a motorcycle gang. Upon a search, a concealed weapon was discovered on Mr. S.’s property. We were able to argue that this concealed weapon (brass knuckles) was actually a belt buckle. We also argued that there was no reasonable suspicion to stop Mr. S. in the… [read post]

So, I was greeted this morning to a blog article from the Rick Scott camp: "SunshineNews: Ales Sink Caught Lying…" This is apparently the Scott campaign's $1.7 billion retort. There was a link to a CNN Clip that would, as Mr. Scott's campaign claimed, demonstrate that what she heard the makeup artist say to her was not what she heard the makeup artist say to her. OK, I confess that I tried 5 times to get the CNN clip to load and it would not. Can someone at the Scott campaign check the link? I… [read post]

It is an insidious evil that quite often strikes children and young adults. It is a disease that strikes one person every four minutes. It kills someone every ten minutes. It is a class of diseases called Leukemia and Lymphoma. The treatment is grueling and tough. The journey through treatment is long and the patient and family members both share their own particular suffering. Patients suffer physically, emotionally and psychologically. Long strides have been made in both treatment and survival in… [read post]

Whatever visions the words blue and late night may have conjured in your mind before, we now know that blue can keep us up late into the night. A recent Chicago Tribune article sets forth medical evidence from the AMA, Harvard and Stanford, about sleep disorders for those addicted to late night use of tablets, laptops and smart phone devices. Apparently, this new evidence points to the fact that 'melatonin', a naturally produced hormone in our body that helps us regulate sleep, is not sufficiently… [read post]

During our past hurricanes, I found that I could actually get along without power for a few days, but doing without water was not something I could take. When a hurricane hits and we lose power, we in the Farms communities also lose water. So, when we built our house, I bit the bullet and had a generator installed with a propane tank to run it. As a result of this very significant investment and the fact that, possibly for one of the few times in my life, I was actually prepared, I gained added… [read post]

This Saturday is Saint Patrick's Day, a holiday recognizing Saint Patrick, a patron saint of Ireland. As the holiday is often associated with the lifting of restrictions on drinking alcohol, this is a day that many people will be drinking throughout Los Angeles County. This holiday, combined with the rain showers that are expected throughout the weekend, can lead to heightened car accident dangers on the roads.
We at Gary K. Walch, A Law Corporation, wish to remind our readers to be extra… [read post]

Great news!! From the Naples News, Rick Scott's "hometown" newspaper. If elected as governor of Florida, Rick Scott says he will "recuse" himself from any involvement in a state investigation of one of his companies, Solantic Health Care. He is still going to appoint the head of the agency who will conduct the investigations into his company, but he will "recuse" himself from involvement. Uh, huh. Solantic is currently under investigation by the state's the Department of Health after being sent to… [read post]

I am not a native Floridian, but I love Florida; I was simply born in the wrong state. I get that our state is a "mixing pot" for people from many different places. But, I object to someone running for the highest office in our state who only arrived here a little over (7) years ago. I have concerns about a man running for governor of Florida who, in a deposition under oath, said he does not know where the following places are located: Orange County Seminole County Brevard and County Lake County… [read post]

I can not remember who said it, but it speaks volumes about people who give of themselves through volunteering to help others: "If you insist on measuring yourself, place the tape around your heart rather than your head." We are in very tough economic times. Everyone is feeling the loss of money, jobs, retirement, your home. What we once were able to give as contributions to charitable cause or event, is now going to pay the mortgage or feed our family. We want to help those less fortunate, but we… [read post]

Consumers are clearly not the focus of the current group that was elected to the legislature. Insurance companies and large corporations seem to be the acknowledged constituents for them. The Sun Sentinel just reported on some of the bills that look like they could pass and how they stack up against the best interests of consumers (voters): Insurance companies can charge as much as they want to charge for coverage of sinkhole damages or they can drop sinkhole coverage altogether. Great news for… [read post]

In a recent Automobile Association of America (AAA) questionnaire, Rick Scott illustrates his naivety of the complex insurance problems that uniquely face the State of Florida:: "My plan to address the homeowners' insurance crisis in Florida is to re-invigorate the private insurance market and let it work. To do this, I would reverse the policies that have expanded Citizens' product offerings to include multi-peril policies, thus keeping Citizens' premiums artificially low." First, what about the… [read post]

I am saddened that all too often I turn on the television or pick up the local newspaper only to read about another horrific incident of animal abuse; once again it has happened, this time in my own back yard. A Lantana, FL pet shop owner who had 26 cats, dogs, a rabbit, a bird and a hedgehog seized from her and was jailed on unspecified charges. Authorities also found five dead dogs and cats in her freezer. There are puppy mills in which sometimes dozens of animals are confined to small cages;… [read post]
