Do You Really NEED an Offshore Account?

Thursday, June 19th, 2008

We can dream of opening a Swiss bank account and/or having an anonymous credit card where we can spend our money without being constantly monitored and tracked by the authorities. In the UK it is currently so bad that the rubbish bins (wheelybins) are starting to be implanted with microchips to record the amount of rubbish that we throw away so that we can be charged. How soon before we are implanted? - for our own safety of course. More …

GATHERING EVIDENCE
By Barbara Locke
One of the best ways to save money during the divorce or custody process is by helping your legal team gather evidence. You’ll want to be able to document every fact you have to prove in your case, at least the ones you can. Many times you can get information yourself for free or at low-cost that will save you hundred of dollars in legal and investigative fees.
You can get free copies of criminal records and civil orders from the court house — they’re public record. This applies to copies of orders between you and your soon to be ex, as well as orders between either of you and others. Does your ex have a history of DUIs? Get copies of those orders and sentences for use in your custody case.
Written evidence from your partner is very useful when he or she denies that something was said. Save letters and emails that confirm what you need to show. Even if it was written at a time when things were not disintegrating, it can still be relevant to the current case.
Keep a detailed calendar or diary of events to make sure you remember what has happened between you by the time you may actually get to hearing months later. Prepare a visual graph or timeline so your attorney can get an accurate picture of events in sequence – this can be a wonderful visual aid at trial as well, if done correctly.
In order to prove your case, you can get the following information ready for your attorney:
*Name, address and phone number of every person who could testify about your case
*Name, address and contact information for every medical provider who can document injuries or that have treated you for abuse-related injuries or provided mental health therapy, and a copy of a release that shows the provider may speak to your attorney. Name and address of medical providers who may have treated your partner who can be subpoenaed for court to prove his or her mental health or medical conditions, or who may have written reports that can be used.
*Name, address and contact information for school teachers, counselors and officials who have seen you interact with your children or have seen that you are a good parent
*Copies of school and day care records
*Photographs of the house where either of you live, the children’s rooms, the injuries either of the parents or others may have inflicted– anything you want to show
*Copies of police reports, answering machine tapes of threats
* Proof of drug or alcohol abuse by the other parent - evidence of attendance at counseling for substance abuse or anger management
Double-check with your attorney to see what else you can find that might bolster your case. Remember every dollar you save stays in your pocket to take care of your family.

Divorce Procedure

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

A divorce is never easy, but it is possible to end a marriage amicably with little or no difficulty. However, this isn’t true in the many cases. Divorce lawyers are usually the only ones that truly win in a long drawn out divorce proceeding, which tends to be extremely overwhelming for the parties involved both psychologically and financially. The longer it takes to settle a divorce, the longer the conflict continues, creating huge legal fees for both sides. If both parties agree during the divorce procedure, on the settlement and other pertinent matters within a reasonable amount of time, with little or no intervention from an attorney, then final dissolution can take place rather quickly, before the mandated waiting period is up in many cases.

Pregnancy Discrimination: Pregnancy Leave

Friday, January 18th, 2008

According to the Federal Title VII law, an employer does not have to provide any leave of absence time for a woman to deliver her baby. This may sound odd, and according to California state law, it is. In fact, California state law requires necessary pregnancy leave of four months or less for the expectant mother. This is considered a “reasonable period of time”, and is defined as the time period when the woman is “disabled” and cannot work due to her impending or recent childbirth. Read more about job discrimination here

What the Federal Title VII law does support, however, is the necessity of medical leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act. This act requires employers to provide employees with a leave of absence for personal illness or for the illness of an immediate family member. This act also covers pregnant women under Federal law jurisdiction. Get a FREE report on how to fight pregnancy discrimination here.

Identity Theft Prevention

Sunday, December 9th, 2007

According to FBI statistics, one of today’s fastest-growing crimes is identity theft and unsurprisingly it is also one of the fastest-growing complaints received by the Federal Trade Commission. Thieves get your personal information without you knowing and commit crimes and rack up debt in your name which is why identity theft prevention is so important.

Legislation has been drafted to combat identity theft but has made only a small dent in this modern form of piracy, so for now this type of crime is going nowhere. The widespread availability of social networking sites and the dependence on high tech electronic devices and computers has made this even more of a concern.

Anyone who says that identity theft is no longer a problem in the 21st century, hasn’t paid attention to phishing sites, email cons, or bogus telemarketers who collect personal information for nefarious purposes. Fraud and Identity Theft victims must focus on minimizing damage by immediately filing a police report and contacting all their finance, credit and lending institutions.

Michael Cherney - Not British Court

Tuesday, December 4th, 2007

Michael Cherney the Russian who runs the Michael Cherney Foundation and a network of self promotional web sites, is trying to get a multi billion dollar settlement from Oleg Deripaska, the owner of the Russian aluminium giant Rusal.

In order for Michael Cherney to get his case heard in a London court, his lawyers have got to convince the London judge that a British court is an appropriate forum for the determination of the claim.

To most observers this would seem like a sticking point - as this dispute has nothing to do with the British. Neither Michael Cherney or Oleg Deripaska live in Britain and the dispute originates thousands of miles away, in Russia, and involves a Russian company.

If the case does go to court, then it is likely to be very expensive for Mr. Cherney to bring as when a non UK domiciled party sues in the UK, the defending party has the right to ask for security for costs in the event that the case fails. Michael Cherney must therefore deposit a substantial sum to cover the costs of Oleg Deripaska.

Michael Cherney - RUSAL Court Case Jurisdiction

Saturday, December 1st, 2007

In London, there’s a court case pending - where Michael Cherney a major figure in the Russian Aluminium Wars is claiming a 20% share of Oleg Deripaksa’s company RUSAL.

The share being disputed is worth up to 5 billion dollars - but will he get it? Will Michael Cherney even get the case heard?

It’s very strange that Michael Cherney is even trying to get the case heard in London - as this dispute has nothing to do with the United Kingdom.

Robert Callahan

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

If you have any contact with police or other law enforcement authorities, it is NEVER in your best interest to speak w/ them before consulting an attorney One tactic frequently employed is one where the police call you on the telephone. They downplay the seriousness of the matter. “Just come on down and well clear this up in no time.” is what the officer says The unsuspecting person goes down to the station, is detained, interrogated without being read their rights, and later has statements attributed to them that they didn’t actually make. Sound unusual? Happens every single day in the city of Chicago.
I am always amazed at the disconnect between how individuals understand the law and what takes place in reality. Police make an arrest. They don’t read the arrestee their constitutional rights. They don’t allow a phone call. They use overly aggressive interrogation tactics. They will literally do anything to insure a conviction. Anything you say or do WILL be used against you, even though they will tell you otherwise. Laws of this country generally permit them to lie during an interrogation. They often do, and people are coerced into acting against their own interest, and contrary to their constitutional rights. They will tell you you are helping your case, while you are actually ensuring your own conviction.
If you are contacted by the police, call me immediately. BEFORE YOU HAVE ANY CONTACT WITH THEM.
If you are arrested, SAY NOTHING until your lawyer is present. The police will most likely tell you ” you don’t need a lawyer for this” or ” you want to make it hard on yourself then?” or “Don’t worry, we’ll make sure the charges are dismissed later” or ” just sign this and well get you out of here”
Countless times I have been hired by people who could have been released w/o charges or been later found not guilty if they had only refused to speak until their lawyer was present.
Unfortunately, you cannot trust the police or any other law enforcement. Their objective is to convict you primarily,and they do not have your best interests in mind. They are often conditioned to ignore evidence which points to innocence, and to overemphasize evidence which points to guilt. This results in wrongful arrests, and the miscarriage of justice.
Quite simply, having an attorney present is your ONLY option.

Criminology and Psychology - analysing criminal records

Tuesday, November 13th, 2007

While Criminology is also the study of an individual’s behavior and thought process, there is a specific outcome that is being sought by the criminologist. The individual’s actions and thoughts are being investigated in order to learn how that individual is able to either overcome or succumb to the different elements of crime that exist within an environment.

Psychological criminology is a specific branch of criminology that combines these two perspectives. By using psychology as the only basis for the invention of the individual, criminologists are able to generate a profile of the perpetrator.

This helps us analyse criminal records.

Should Michael Cherney Be Digging Up The Past?

Monday, November 12th, 2007

If you had billions of dollars, but you had a dodgy past, would you risk it all by bringing a high profile case to court.

The Russians are trying to put the Russian Mafia era behind them - and emphasise the new times of legitimate business.

However, Michael Cherney’s court case is set in the era of the Russian Mafia - and who know’s what will be dug up about him, and presented in court.

LA DUI Lawyers and BAC Testing

Monday, November 12th, 2007

Being charged with DUI, or drunk driving, in LA or anywhere in California does not mean you will be convicted.

A Blood Alcohol Content test must be conducted fairly and properly to carry enough weight in court to result in a conviction. Your lawyer must understand all of the intricacies of BAC testing, the procedures that must be adhered to by police officers and the weaknesses and strengths of the equipment used to carry out the test.

If your lawyer is not thoroughly familiar with BAC testing then you need to hire a DUI specialist attorney that can give you your best chance at penalty mitigation or outright dismissal.

There is plenty of confusion surrounding DUI blood alcohol tests. Failing a breathalyzer or other blood alcohol content test does not necessarily mean you will be convicted of drunk driving. Be sure that your LA or California DUI lawyer understands all of the intricacies of BAC testing.
