Understanding Mediation as an Alternative to Litigation
The most common form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is mediation. During a mediation, a neutral third party (often a retired judge or experienced attorney) works with the parties to try to reach a settlement of their dispute. The mediator does so by focusing on the disputed issues and exploring possible options for settlement.

Makes No Immediate Changes for Employers
 |

Within hours of being sworn in on Friday, January 20, 2017, President Trump signed an executive order (the Order), that affirmed the administration's policy of seeking "the prompt repeal" of the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

Creditors, Predators, and Divorcing Spouses Are Why Having a Trust
May Be Better Than a Will
|
As I have stated before, when people find out what I do, the most common "cocktail party" question I get is "do I need a will?" Over time, my answer to that question has evolved. I used to respond by asking a couple of questions: Do you have minor children? Who do you want to get your property when you die? Now, my answer is "you don't need a will or an estate plan, but let me tell you why you want one: to protect your loved ones from creditors, predators, and divorcing spouses."
