In Arizona, a no-fault divorce simply means that neither party is going to be at fault in the eyes of the judge. The reason people get divorced in Arizona is, quite simply, irreconcilable differences. That is the standard that the courts use in order to divorce persons.

How can an attorney help in my divorce in Arizona?

The Baker Law Firm LLC

In Arizona, the importance of a divorce attorney is as follows: If both parties are able to agree as to their differences in the divorce, perhaps an attorney is not necessary. But if a party goes out and hires an attorney, my advice is that it is imperative that the other party hire an attorney so their rights are protected. Because if they do not hire an attorney, the things that the other attorney will do, in terms of how to settle the case, the actual knowledge that they have of the divorce statutes will inevitably have a negative effect on the other party. And therefore, the role of a divorce attorney is very important in protecting someone's rights, especially when the other party is represented by council. My name is Mike Baker, of the Baker law firm. We serve individuals and families all over Arizona in family law matters, including divorce, child custody, child support and parenting time matters.

Who gets the dog in a divorce in Arizona?

The Baker Law Firm LLC

In Arizona, property that is acquired during a marriage, including the dog usually is divided by agreement of the parties. But of course there are always the cases in which agreements are impossible. But the last thing that a judge wants to do is intervene on how to divide tangible property from the dog, to the lamp, to the book ends. So what the court will order the parties to do is to make a list, an inventory if you will, and make a decision on what’s most important to each party. And they will hand one party the list and they will check off an item, such as the dog. And then they will hand the other party the list and they will check off the couch. This is how property would be divided if parties cannot be adults and come to an agreement. My name is Mike Baker of the Baker Law Firm.

Are lost wages covered after a motorcycle accident in NY?

Proner & Proner

After a motorcycle accident in New York, lost wages are not covered under the motorcycle's insurance policy because motorcycles were excluded from the no fault law. Consequently, lost wages will ultimately be realized by the party at fault through their insurance carrier, but that's going to be at the end of the claim, not at the onset. So, if you have lost wages after a motorcycle accident, you can either get that money for your lost wages through either your employer's disability policy, or in the alternative, if the accident happened while you were working, you are entitled to lost wages through a workman's comp claim. I'm Mitchell Proner. If you are looking for an experienced, skilled attorney to represent you or a loved one in New York, contact me today.

What is considered a trip and fall injury in New York?

Proner & Proner

In a trip and fall accident in New York, in order to be compensated, it's not enough that you sustained injuries, you also have to show that the owner of the premises has some sort of fault for the injuries. That could be, by the nature of the defect that caused the fall. For example, a chipped stairway can cause somebody to fall and sustain injuries. Or it could be a loosed handrail that causes somebody to sustain injuries. If there is a defect that causes injury and the defect is not of a transient nature, which means it can't be somebody just dropped a coca cola right before you slipped, then you're entitled to be compensated for the injuries sustained by the fault of the land owner.

What is workers' compensation?

Kantrovitz & Associates, P.C.

If somebody in Massachusetts has an injury while they're at work and they are unable to earn their wages and/or require medical care, they're going to be covered for their lost wages and their medical treatment. The question or the issue of fault is irrelevant. We don't ask the question of "Was it John's fault when he fell down a flight of stairs at work, or lifted the box at work," that's not the question. The question is whether or not they were an employee, whether or not they were hurt while they were working and whether or not they are disabled from performing the functions of their job and/or require medical care, period.

Is it better to just plead guilty to DUI in California?

The Law Offices of Virginia L Landry, Inc.

If you feel that you've had too much to drink, that you are not in a position to get behind the wheel of a car and you want to plead guilty, there's no reason to hire an attorney. However, if you want to make sure that you're not being convicted on fault signs, or that the police officer who's in the position of authority with you has not done something inappropriate, then, you could make a determination by not challenging something that could have a very long term affect on you and your future, for an insurance, an employment, and the ability to drive. It's your choice on whether you decide to requite an attorney or not. I'm Virginia Landry, for the last 19 years in Orange County, I've helped when bad things happen to good people. If you've been arrested for DUI, please call.

What is the alternative to letting a bank foreclose on my home?

Carl E. Person

The worst thing that I experience in dealing with the mortgage foreclosure situations is the prospective clients who call me up and tell me their tale of woe: that they have a default judgment, the property is going to be sold, what can they do? I tell them the whole thing of what they should have done. I say, "You should have stopped paying. You should have precipitated a foreclosure action. You should have defended within the 20-day period, and you wouldn't be here now. You would be sitting in your home with a modification. But instead -- because you didn't do anything and the banks were at fault because they talked with you and they made you believe you didn't have to do anything -- you must do something. You have to defend the foreclosure action even though you are talking with a bank. And if you don't do that you are going to make me cry when you call me belatedly three or four months later." I'm Carl Person. I'm a New York lawyer, and my job is to help people stay in their homes.

Are lawsuits from motorcycle accidents common in New York?

Proner & Proner

Motorcycle accident lawsuits are a rarity just because of the...most vehicles on the road are not motorcycles. But when a motorcyclist is injured in an accident, more often then not, to get fair compensation, they are going to have to file a lawsuit because the insurance carrier or the person that is paying out on the claim, they think that the motorcyclist, just by virtue of the fact that they're on a motorcycle, signifies that they are at fault. Even though the motorcyclist did nothing wrong to cause the injuries that they sustained which may be catastrophic. So to get a fair shake, the motorcyclist has to go to court to get fair compensation for the injuries they sustained. I'm Mitchell Proner.
