Bankruptcy Meets Personal Injury

Unintentionally, many, many years ago, I was honored at my firm to be the guy to manage all the mass tort cases of which the claimant had coincidentally had a bankruptcy. I have probably handled more than 1000 of these cases. It is a tedious piece of mass tort settlement resolution.

I recently presented a seminar to paralegals at a local mass tort law firm, and I created this informatic piece to help explain. 

You are welcome to use it in your classes or at your firms, as long as you leave my information and logo on it. And let me know that you found it useful! 

Enjoy!

Florida Family Law Bounds of Advocacy and Collaborative Law

 

I’m so excited to announce that my recently completed article, Florida Family Law Bounds of Advocacy: A Mandate for Collaborative Practice will be published in the Winter 2019 Nova Law Review.

This discussion considers the revised Florida Family Law Bounds of Advocacy and it’s focus on therapeutic justice, as well as recent ethics and professionalism developments at the Florida Bar, when, taken together, imply that the BoA is a mandatory source of professionalism and that family attorneys in Florida must at least become educated and discuss the collaborative option.
