Successful Child Inclusive Mediation In Parenting Cases

2010-01-04T13:41:00.001-08:00

Upon the breakdown of a relationship where there are children, if the parents are unable to reach agreement between themselves as to the parenting arrangements for the children, then there is a requirement to participate in mediation prior to contemplating any Court proceedings.

In the community there is a large number of service providers of mediation, most notably Family Relationship Centres which receive government funding to provide a few hour's free service. The service provided by family relationships centres generally excludes lawyers from participating.

If properly and carefully managed, mediation of parenting issues can not only address the legal issues as to what the parenting arrangements should be, but it can also address other non legal issues which will have a profound impact of the future development of your children.

An example is a recent case we were involved in. Our client, the father of 2 children, came to us after his former wife commenced court proceedings seeking parenting orders. No mediation had been organised prior to the commencement of court proceedings. Our client had been lead to believe elsewhere that he had no option but to litigate the matter. We took a different view after listening to the history of the parenting arrangements post separation, and of the needs of the parties of the children. It was recommended that the parties participate in child inclusive mediation through a private service provider, with the input of a child consultant.

After consulting with the other party's lawyer, we organised for the parties to be interviewed by the mediator to assess their suitability, and the manner in which the matter would be approached. It was agreed that given the history of conflict between the parties and other issues that the parties' lawyers would participate in the conference, and that the parties would not be in the same room as one of another. It was also agreed to conduct child inclusive mediation be child inclusive, whereby the children would be interviewed by the child consultant prior to the conference, and the child consultant would provide the parents with feedback about how life was for the children post separation.

When the parents were given feedback from the child consultant it was somewhat. However, the feedback was necessary because the parents had no idea of how their children viewed their world, of the impact upon them of the separation and of their behaviour towards one another, and most importantly the risk it posed to the children's development towards adult life.

Without hesitation it was agreed the parents would go into family therapy to address various issues concerning themselves and the children as recommended by the child consultant. Whilst this was underway it was agreed that alternative parenting arrangements would be trialled and possibly further child inclusive mediation would be pursued upon the family therapy running its course. It was agreed all round that proceeding to a judicial hearing was in nobody's interest.

By taking a carefully managed approach and addressing the non-legal/social issues, the parties were embarking upon a pathway which has the best chance of leading to a more positive development and future for their children post separation. If the parties merely litigated the matter to a contested hearing, then the Court would not be able to address or rectifying any non-legal issues as between the parties, nor, their children's future.

This approach will not work in every case. However, despite a level of conflict between the parties, they were genuinely interested in achieving an outcome that would be the best for their children.

Secrets of FICO Credit Scoring Revealed ... Finally!

2010-01-03T12:03:00.001-08:00

Shrouded in mystery for years, the Fair Isaac Company has finally let consumers have a slight peek into the vault of their credit scoring model which is responsible for "FICO Scores," otherwise known as your credit score. (FICO, by the way, is a shortened version of "Fair Isaac Company".)

FICO's revelation of information comes at an interesting crossroads for the Fair Isaac Company. Just last month, Fair Isaac lost a case against credit bureau giant Experian in Minneapolis, in which Fair Isaac was attempting to prevent Experian from using a scoring model with a similar point range (300 to 850) as is used by Fair Isaac.

Personally, I believe that Fair Isaac's decision to now begin to release tidbits of its credit scoring model has more to do with wanting to avoid the negative public relations image of being "the wizard behind the curtain," and less to do with wanting to service consumers. Fair Isaac has had it scoring model for decades hidden in the deepest vaults; the timing of its decision to finally begin to release parts of it suggests to me motivations grounded more in competition than in any desire to enlighten the millions of consumers they confuse and damage on a daily basis.

The Traditional Information on How FICO Calculates Credit Scores

FICO has for some years published on its website a broad outline of how it calculates credit scores. This information is a good general recipe but generally does not provide consumers with specific information for rapidly improving their credit scores, as is often necessary when time-sensitive loan applications are pending. Here is the traditional information:

-35% of the score comes from payment history: have you paid your bills on time? And if not, how late were you, when were you late, and how often?

-30% of the score comes from amounts owed: how much do you owe on each account, and how much of your credit limit have you used? This last measure, called debt utilization ratio, refers to the percentage of available borrowing power you have actually used vs. what you have. In other words, if you have $100,000.00 in available credit card limits but have only borrowed $5,000, your credit utilization ratio would be very, very good: 5%. However, if you had borrowed $85,000, your credit utilization ratio would be very, very bad: 85%. This is a very important factor in all credit scoring.

-15% of the score derives from credit history: how long have you had each account?

-10% of the score derives from the types of credit you maintain, i.e. revolving debt (credit card debt) gives you less credit on your credit score than mortgage debt.

-10% of the score comes from applying for, or opening, new credit accounts. The FICO scoring model penalizes you for shopping for new credit or for opening up new credit accounts.

The Newly-Released "Damage Points" Information from FICO

Not surprisingly, FICO employs a method called "damage points" to downgrade credit scores depending on the type of negative credit information. So, as I have been saying for some time, for people with average-to-excellent credit, FICO scoring (and, most likely, the scoring models which the credit bureaus themselves will be releasing and promoting in the coming months and years) is akin to scoring an Olympic dancing or diving contest: the judges can sometimes look for picayune stuff to seriously downgrade one's score. FICO scoring begins to look more like "American Idol" every day.

Jeremy Simon, a contributing writer for Yahoo! Finance, describes this "American Idol" effect in his recent article on FICO "damage points":

"Those with good or excellent creditso-called prime borrowersput more points at risk with each (credit) mistake. For example, someone with an average credit score of 680 who pays a bill 30 days late will see a drop of 60 to 80 points. But for someone with an excellent credit score780that same delinquency can send a FICO score tumbling by 90 to 100 points."

Fair Isaac provided the following chart of "damage points" in its news release:

Credit Mistake - If Your Score is 680 - If Your Score is 780

Maxed-out card - Down 10 to 30 pts. - Down 25 to 45 points.

30-day late payment - Down 60 to 80 pts. - Down 90 to 110 pts.

Debt Settlement - Down 45 to 65 pts. - Down 105 to 125 pts.

Foreclosure - Down 85 to 105 pts. - Down 140 to 160 pts.

Bankruptcy - Down 130 to 150 pts. - Down 220 to 240 pts.

One wonders why FICO is so eager to penalize prime borrowers disproportionally. The answer is relatively simple when one understands that FICO remains true to its clientelebig banks, big mortgage companies, big credit card companies, major credit bureauswho in turn have every incentive to put the fear of god into their best borrowers to ensure repayment. In turn, better-risk borrowers create higher-value debt instruments which are then bundled and packaged into new investment vehicles. This is called "securitization" and is one of the elements of the "mortgage meltdown" of 2007 and 2008, when low-grade mortgage debt was packaged and sold as high-grade mortgage debt.

Why Do "Damage Points" Cause Disproportional Damage to Consumers with Higher Scores?

To fully understand credit scoring, it is important to understand that the consumer is only seeing the first half of the picture: the retail transaction in which the consumer's credit is being considered to determine if he is a worthy credit risk. That's the "front door" of credit scoring. The "back door" is the fact that investment banks rely on unnecessarily harsh and unfairly punitive credit scoring to select out the best loans which will then be bundled and securitized so that investment bankers can continue to make seven- and eight-figure incomes while the rest of us toil in the fields.

At the end of the day, FICO serves its masters at the large investment banks; individual consumers are pawns in the overall scheme, which is why credit scoring is flatly unfair to many credit-worthy consumers.

Is It Really Important to Get a Score Above 800?

I meet a lot of consumers who carry over their "grades-obsession" from high school into a "credit-score obsession" as adults. My overall advise: it's really a blind obsession, and you start getting the best credit offers at about credit score 730 or 740. Beyond that, it's an ego thing and it probably is not necessary. Banks do not present you with a different-colored diploma if you manage to get your credit score above 800. Any time spent getting a credit score better than about 750 is time wasted.

Further, past a point no one really knows why one person has an 800-plus score and another has a score between 750 and 800. As with any mathematical process, there are invariably "fudge points" one way or another which ultimately have no bearing on whether you will get the best credit offers when you apply for credit.

That said, here are a few time-honored techniques to getting your score into the 700's or above:

1.Pay your bills on time.

2.Keep your credit utilization ratio low, ideally below 10%. Credit utilization ratio refers to your available credit vs. how much of your credit you have used. If you have available credit of $100,000.00 and you have only used $5,000.00, your credit utilization ratio is 5%, which is excellent. On the other hand, if you have used $85,000.00 of your $100,000.00 available credit, this is a credit utilization ratio of 85% and is poor. A high credit utilization ratio will have a certain negative impact upon your credit score even if you do not have any late payments.

3.Have types of credit other than credit cards. Look around: everyone can get at least some kind of credit card these days. Having a current mortgage or a current car loan will improve your score. Mortgage debt is usually considered the best possible type of credit for a good credit score.

4.Keep your old accounts open, even if you do not carry a balance on them, and shy away from opening new credit accounts unless you have to do so. One factor in credit scoring is length of credit history. Some of my friends like to close out cards whenever they can transfer balances to new cards with promotional zero percent interest rates, and will repeat this cycle for as long as they can continue it. It's a bad practice: the credit inquiries from any new credit applications alone will cause your score to drop. Opening up new lines of credit with balances can negatively affect your credit utilization ratio. Closing out older lines of creditparticularly ones with a good payment historywill deprive you of the positive influence of these credit items. The better practice is simply to pay down and pay off older credit cards, and then just keep them locked in the desk drawer for a rainy day.

5.Avoid the other types of activities that can result in derogatory credit reporting: bankruptcies, foreclosures, repossessions are the best known ones, but these days debt collectors are reporting "debt settlements" as derogatories on credit reports. As seen in the chart above, these can have a major negative impact on your credit score.

I hope this article answers some of your questions about credit scoring.

A Growing Problem Mortgage Fraud

2010-01-01T11:47:00.001-08:00

Mortgage fraud is a growing problem throughout the United States. You want you the equity in your home to be more than the loan on your property. With the boom in the housing market there are those who will try to take advantage of this situation and try to get a quick profit. Here are some mortgage fraud schemes you should be aware of.

The first is property flipping. This is when land is bought, wrongly appraised for a higher dollar value and then sold fast. The false appraisal information is what makes this kind of property flipping illegal. The illegal practice involves usually the following: fraudulent property appraisals, loan documents that have been doctored, inflating the income of the buyer, buyer kickbacks and kickbacks to investors, and property or loan brokers, and appraisers and to those who are working for the title companies.

For instance a house worth $30,000 may be appraised for $90,000 or more in this illegal practice. Then there is what is known as the silent second. This is where a buyer of land borrows the money for a down payment from the seller by the issuance of a second mortgage that is not disclosed. The primary money lender thinks the person borrowing is investing her own funds in the down payment.

But the fact is the funds are borrowed. The second might not be legally recorded so that the primary money lender does not know about it. Then there is the nominee loans; straw buyers. This is where the identity of the borrower is hidden and a nominee lets the borrower use his or her name and his or her credit report in the loan application.

There is also a stolen identity issue which may be put on the application. The applicant possibly is involved in an identity theft scam where the real person does not know his name, personal information, and credit history is being used on a loan application.

Then there is the inflated appraisal where the appraiser is colluding with the borrower and submits an appraisal to mislead the money lender. The appraisers report falsely reports the property inflated value. In a foreclosure scheme the wrong doer targets homeowners who might default on home loans or those already in the foreclosure process.

Wrong doers trick the homeowner telling him or her they can save their house if they transfer the deed and pay up front costs. The wrong doer makes money from these tricks by remortgaging the land or taking the money paid by the owner of the house. The three most common foreclosure scams are the phantom help, the bust out and the bait and switch.

In equity skimming an investor may utilize a straw buyer. Then use misleading income verification records, and misleading credit history reports to get a mortgage loan in the name of the straw buyer. Before the escrow close the straw buyer signs the land to the investor by quit claim deed giving over all property rights and gives no title guaranty. The investor makes no loan payments and leases out the land until the foreclosure happens many months later.

Employment Criminal Background Checks: Why is it Important?

2009-12-31T12:46:00.001-08:00

One of the many reasons why people want to check the background of people is because they will be hiring them for the company. You can never trust anyone today especially since anyone can forge IDs and even make up stories about themselves like where they live, where they studied, etc. You can never rely also too much on the resumes they send you because if some people can fake IDs easily, how much more a resume? The best thing to do as an employer is run employment criminal background checks.

How will you check your potential employee's background? You can definitely ask them for a criminal or police clearance but then again, as mentioned above, anyone can fake and forge anything nowadays especially with the high technology. What else can you do to check the background of your possible employees? What are employment criminal background checks services?

This type of service can be found mostly in the Internet. There are many companies that are offering this type of service now so you have to be pretty cautious and really examine the companies and their policies. What could be the possible considerations you should take? Here is a list:

1)Long term or short term

There are various categories of employment criminal background checks. If you are going to use the service frequently because you are continuously hiring as a company or employer, it is better to get the unlimited service because you can save tons of money from it. With the pay per search, you only use it once or not that often. According to some, this is a better service because you can be sure that useful results will be provided the moment you need them.

2)Results or no results

Check the policy of the company. There are some companies that have services that would still let you pay even if it failed to get any hits or results for your search. This is okay if you are under the unlimited service because even if you do not get the result for this person, you can still look at other people's backgrounds because of the unlimited service payment. You will lose a lot if you opted to avail of the pay per search and received no results or hits at the end of the day.

3)Guaranteed or no guarantees

Because this is a service, it is only rightful for the company to give out money back guarantee policies. However, there are still some companies that do not and these are the companies you should watch out for. You should remember that the companies who have policies like these are companies who are true and efficient in terms of their services. Only companies, who are sure that they wouldn't need to give you your money back due to their superior services, are the companies who provide these kinds of settlements.

Surely, you can check your potential employees' background with any service of your choice, need and want.

National Background Checks: The Best Way to Trace Criminals

2009-12-31T12:39:00.001-08:00

National background checks are the best way to check any individual's past. This service has a very large database and it covers almost every individual's background in the United States. This is a very efficient tool especially if you are looking for criminal records down the line of a specific person. The best thing about this service is that you can actually get the results in no time.

Where is the source of this service? This service got all their information regarding each individual in government and also non-government agencies. Both of which (government and non-government) have a large range from the whole country, state, cities, town and all the national areas. With this type of service, no criminal can fake or even conceal his or her past records.

How do you use national background checks services? All you have to do is to simply key in the name of the person you are searching for. Not only persons are allowed, you can also search for properties. After which, you have to choose the state and the other specific address location of the person. There is other additional information too that you have fill in to be able to help in the process.

Why is using this service very important? First of all, you can not simply trust anybody in this day and age. There are more and more people who are involved in crimes and it is sad to say that these people look pretty decent on the outside. You can never judge a person by his or her looks alone. Sure, companies are looking for someone with a pleasing personality and someone who can face the clients and who is decent-looking but as an employer you should still be extra cautious.

As an employer, national background checks are important because you will be able to know the background of the potential employee you are hiring. Would you want a crazy lunatic murderer be part of your team or company? Would you want someone who steals to go inside your offices? Of course you wouldn't answer in the affirmative. So how do you deal with it? You should check their background information. Remember that these employees will represent your company. If you get someone who is a criminal in the past, that is the representation of your company whether you like it or not. If you think you are being discriminative, you are not. You are only being cautious.

If you also have a business like you have a house or a room rental, as a landlord, you have the right to check the criminal background of your tenants. Not only that, you can also check the financial background of your tenants. It is not being intrusive because it is your right. After all, this person will be renting your space and will live in your land. It is your accountability as a landlord if something will happen to your other tenants or if that person is under financial debt or rut because it is not them who will suffer but you and your credibility as a businesswoman.

Employer Background Checks Employees

2009-12-30T12:25:00.001-08:00

If you are working for a company, you always need to check on the background of the people you hire. You must know that it is certainly not impossible. Because of the advancement of technology today, anyone can do a quick background check. However there is a price to pay and it usually involves more than what you are expecting to shell out. You have to make sure that the service you will get will be able to render their services efficiently and effectively.

What are the things you should consider when you look for employer background checks services? Since there are so many to choose from, consider these tips as your ultimate guide:

1) Pay per search or Unlimited
There are two choices when it comes to these forms of service: unlimited and pay per search. As the name indicates, pay per search is the kind of service that you pay every single time you ask for a background check. The same thing with unlimited, the name speaks for itself. You can search for anyone's background any time you want. But which is more efficient? According to the reviews, the more efficient would have to be the pay per search. However, employer background checks usually take more than one person to check. Of course, as an employer, you need to hire people constantly and getting the unlimited service is a much better way to go because you can save a lot of money.

2) With or Without Hits
You must know that there are some services which have policies like that involve having you pay for their services even if there are no hits or results. This is a big disadvantage if you are using pay per search. If you are using that, it would mean that you gave out your money for nothing. However, there are unlimited services like this as well. The only good news about it is that of course they are unlimited and so even if you did not get results or hits for a particular search, you can go on to the next and still get what you paid for.

3) Money Back or No Warranty
There are employer background checks services that do not have warranties or what you call as money back guarantees. If you encounter a company like this, step back. This only means that this company does not believe they can perform their services well and are afraid that if they give a money back policy, they will be on the losing end. If a company is sure of their services, they will definitely have money back guarantee programs. So as a costumer, you can be assured that they will give you a great service.

Background checks are fairly important especially when you are an employer who is looking for new recruits. You have to be sure that the person who will work for you have zero criminal records. Why? Simply because your employees will represent your company and if they have a bad record it will affect your company's image.

Background Check Reviews: Top 3 Things to Consider Before You Sign Up For a Background Check Service

2009-12-30T12:19:00.001-08:00

In this time and age, you can never really tell who you can or cannot trust which is why a lot of people are learning how to do background checks. Because of the fast-rising technology nowadays, it is very easy to actually check someone's background whether you are doing this for work or for your own personal satisfaction and security. Background checking is necessary especially if a company will first hire you because from it they will know if you are the one that they can fully trust meaning you do not have any criminal records and no one is actually hunting you down.

There are many background check reviews in the Internet today and it is really just up to you if which one should you pick. Nonetheless, here are some tips on the things you should consider when you are about to get the service.

1) Number of searches
There are two kinds of searches. One is pay per search and the other one provides unlimited services. Some people say that it is better to use the pay per search service since it is more efficient and the results are really phenomenal. However, beware of some background check services that are pay per search as there are some who really do not have their own databases and who simply get the information from another background check servers. In terms of unlimited service, it is good for those people who will be searching for more than one person (for instance, human resource agencies). This will be able to help you save money because paying per search may be too costly if you are searching more than 5 people at a time.

2) Terms of payment
This is very important since you are about to shed some money. You must know that in pay per search and unlimited search services, there are some companies who cannot give you results. However, even if these companies cannot get you the results you need, you still have to pay them. How would you know about this policy? Check out background check reviews first or ask the company directly about their payment terms. If this is their term, it is better to get the unlimited service for you would still be able to search for other persons if they cannot get the one that you are looking for as of the moment.

3) Warranty
Another thing that you should take into consideration would be the warranty, guarantee or the money back service. As mentioned in number 2, pay per search service usually lets you pay even if they have not given you the results that you need. In short, they do not offer money back guarantee. You will only know this either in background check reviews or again by asking the company directly. Having a money back guarantee policy means that the company believes in their database and believes they are reliable.

Background check is very important before you let someone into your life. This can also help even if you are simply going on a blind date. You'll never know if someone is a serial killer or not.

Background Checks Reviews: What You Should and Shouldnt Do

2009-12-30T12:12:00.001-08:00

When you are getting to know someone online and you finally decide to meet up with this person, should you fully trust them without checking his or her background? When you hire someone in your home or in your company, should you let that person in your house or office without even checking where that person came from? It is so easy to make a resume or to create a profile page and say that you are from this place, you are working in this company, or you studied here and so on.

If you are in any of these situations, you should know that there are actually a lot of background search services around. All you have to do is to find the one that is most effective, efficient and has the best policies. If you want, you can do background checks reviews first before you pick the one that is right for you. To help you with this, here are some of the things you should keep in mind when you are looking for this service:

1) Types
The types of background checks vary from unlimited and pay per search. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each and how do they work? The pay per search will only let you search for one person at a time and you pay each time you initiate a search. According to most background checks reviews, the pay per search is more efficient. However, there are still disadvantages to this service which will be discussed later on. On the other hand, unlimited services are better in terms of bulk searches. If you are under a company and you always hire people, you can get the unlimited plan because you will be able to save more as opposed to paying each time you have to check on a new employee.

2) Results
The payment per result should also be clear. There are certain companies that still let you pay even if they do not get any hits or results after a particular search. This may be the case for some websites that offer cheap deals. However, the good thing about an unlimited plan is that in case this situation happens, you do not lose money because you can still look for other persons on your list.

3) Pay back
According to background checks reviews, the only ones who can give you money back guarantee services are the ones that are reliable. Meaning, if a company gives you this policy, they are confident that they will give you results and not necessarily give your money back. Find the service that offers this so that you can be sure that your money is in the right hands and that you will get your desired results in no time.

Background checks should be prioritized in all corporate settings. In history, there were several cases that taught us to be extra cautious and to not trust anybody in an instant. It is always better to be safe than sorry.

How To Legally Obtain An HGH Prescription?

2009-12-30T02:01:00.001-08:00

How to Legally Get HGH?

HGH is usually used to treat those with severe growth problems, such as dwarfism. While some people say that HGH (human grown hormone) is a great way to keep your vitality and to get big and strong fast, others say it is dangerous because it is a hormone and might cause an increased risk of cancer. It is illegal to get HGH for purely athletic or anti-aging reasons, though doctors can prescribe it for a variety of things. You can legally get an HGH if you know how to do it.

Step One

Do your research. If you do not want to feel like a fool when you go to see your doctor, you need to be informed. While the internet has many places that will tell you everything you want to hear, you need to spend some time doing real research through legitimate medical sites to find out all the ups and downs of using HGH. You will also be able to see how to legally get an HGH

Step Two

Get an appointment with your doctor. It is vitally important that you speak to your doctor about why you want to use HGH. Your doctor might very well tell you that what you are wanting HGH for is illegal, but no good doctor is going to let you walk out the door without informing you of the risks and benefits. Your doctor can also alert you if there is anything in your medical history that might make your using HGH dangerous.

Step Three

Get a blood test. No, your doctor is not going to give you a prescription for HGH just because you asked for it to help you feel young again. However, your doctor might order a blood test if you show signs that you may have low levels of natural HGH in your blood. A test will show your doctor exactly what levels you have, and depending on your medical history and what is currently going on with you, your doctor may write you a prescription for HGH.

Step Four

Get a prescription. To legally get an HGH you need a prescription. HGH is available through injections, creams and sprays. To get the most benefit you will want injections, but creams and sprays are available for those who dislike needles. However, creams and sprays are not as reliable.

Step Five

Exercise and eat right. You can actually make your body create HGH. You will need to eat amino lysine, which you can get by eating red meats, spinach, or beans. You also need to exercise regularly. Strength training is especially good if you want to make your own HGH.

Step Six

Try a human growth hormone supplement such as Sytropin, Provacyl, or Genf20 plus. Supplements are a great way to legally get an HGH because you do not need a prescription, and you will get all the benefits of HGH. Be careful that you are buying a good supplement and you will enjoy having legal HGH.

Filing bankruptcy is a scary and tedious process. A person forced to file bankruptcy is emotionally spent and unable to deal with the necessities, filings, and handlings of a bankruptcy case. It is draining and impossible to stay on top of it unless you are a bankruptcy lawyer. But, how do you find the right bankruptcy lawyer? What are the guidelines to follow when hiring one? Here are a few tips on how to choose the right bankruptcy attorney for you.

Find out who has handled bankruptcy related issues amongst your relatives, friends and loved ones. Ask around your area.

You need someone with a reputable history of success in handling it with ease. Questioning those you know in similar scenarios is a great way to find out about an attorney before hiring him/her.

Expertise

Ask your lawyer what are the benefits to filing for bankruptcy. What is the difference between filing for a Chapter 11, Chapter 7 or a Chapter 13? What does the attorney need from you to get started? How long will the process take? What should you expect? Who will go to court with you? All of these questions need to be answered before you proceed forth.

If an attorney requests for you to sign a fee agreement upfront do not be turned off by it. For many attorneys do this in the beginning as a sign of their commitment to you as their client.

Call courthouses where the attorney holds court and make inquiries about him/her.

How To Protect Yourself From Telemarketing Fraud

2009-12-27T00:09:00.001-08:00

According to FBI estimates, "there are at least 14,000 illegal sales operations stealing from American consumers every day." Telemarketing fraud is a crime and everyone should learn how to protect themselves from these criminals. Telemarketing fraud takes place when scammers pose as legitimate charities, businesses, or other organization and call people with fake offers in an attempt to defraud them. These scammers use the phone to commit a number of different kinds of fraud. This can include: loan fraud, credit card fraud, sweepstakes and lottery fraud, magazine subscription and shopping club membership fraud.

The following are a number of tips on how to protect yourself from telemarketing fraud:

1. Know what to expect from a fraudulent call. They are good at what they do and know exactly what to say to trick someone into giving them their personal information. Ask for the name and contact information of the company they say they are representing. Do not give out any personal and financial information over the phone. If you are not sure if the call is legitimate and you are interested in the product or service, ask them to mail you written information.

2. If you are told you won a prize and the caller says you have to pay money to have the prize shipped or they want your banking information so they can wire you the money, hang up the phone and report the call to your government agency that handles telemarketing fraud or the police. You will never have to pay for a prize or pay to enter a contest.

3. If you do not want to be on the caller's phone list, tell the caller to remove you from their telemarketing list. As well, you can get your name added to the 'National Do Not Call' registry. Telemarketers are required by law to search the 'Do Not Call' registry and not call those who do not want to be called.

4. Telemarketers are trained to try to bully you into making a purchase. If a caller says you have to act now, hang up the phone. Never mail money as the result of a telemarketing call. If they solicit you to buy a product, do not give them any credit card information. Do not do business with a company you have never heard of. You can search the internet about a company or contact the Better Business Bureau. Be wary of too-good-to-be true sales pitches. If the caller says you are a "guaranteed" winner, hang up.

5. Keep records of telemarketing calls. Make a record of the date and time of the telemarketing call. Include the name, address and phone number of the person or company. If you buy something, note the date of the transaction and the delivery date that is promised.

The best defense against telemarketing fraud is to learn to how to recognize a fraudulent call and then take a few protection steps to make sure the criminal is unsuccessful and will possibly get arrested after you report the call.

How to Fight Traffic Tickets

2009-12-24T00:19:00.001-08:00

All traffic courts and therefore all traffic tickets are scams. It has nothing to do with protection. It has nothing to do with justice. It is all about the court separating you from your money. The primary interaction many people have with government is traffic court. We all know men and women who get a traffic ticket. And we all know no one wants a traffic ticket.

The court in order to facilitate the collection of money makes the fines just low enough so people will not think it is worth their time to fight it. They figure it is simpler to just pay it. They cannot take time off work so they pay the two hundred dollar fine. This is a mind game. The court does this on purpose. It is all part of the public relations of these traffic courts. They want people to just pay.

If all people fought their tickets the whole system would collapse; that or else they would keep lowering the fines until they reached that happy medium to where people would simply pay the fines. Which is what they want but if you look carefully all tickets are invalid none have any validity at all. If you can show that the court has not standing there is no subject matter jurisdiction.

If they cannot show standing then it does not matter what I am being accused of. This is a very big issue and only one of how to show the invalidity of a traffic ticket. You have to understand that a ticket is not a cause of action which is a very specific legal term. You have to know that government is formed to protect individual rights. Courts are part of government so they are therefore there to protect and maintain individual rights. And therefore the courts jurisdiction limited to maintaining and protecting individual rights.

So a plaintiff to have standing in an American court has to allege the violation of a legal right. Of course they do not like to hear this in a traffic court. The court must show personal injury by the plaintiff. So is the police officer who issued the ticket showing personal injury? Does the prosecutor show personal injury of the so called plaintiff? No.

Subject matter jurisdiction is based on the violation of an individual right and since there is no personal injury, so you can see there is no validity to any of these traffic tickets. One way you can also win a traffic ticket is to impeach the witness which is the police officer.

Impeach is to show that the witness testimony is inadmissible as evidence due to lack of credibility. You need to ask simply two questions. You hand the police officer on the witness stand a copy of the ticket. You ask the police officer if he filed a valid cause of action against you. He will answer yes because without a valid cause of action the case has to be thrown out of court.

Then your next question is how many elements are there in a valid cause of action. The prosecution will object to the question saying the witness is not qualified to answer the question. The judge will sustain the objection and you will have shown the witness is not qualified to testify. You will not always have the ticket thrown out of court but this is one way to fight traffic tickets.

Modernize Your Practice to Maximize Damages: The Legal Nurse Consultants Role in Litigation

2009-12-22T20:42:00.001-08:00

Gone to the barber recently for surgery? Had the blacksmith pound out something special for the horse? Taken a pair of shoes to a cobbler? If this all seems as antiquated as keeping a scrivener outside the office door, why not join savvy plaintiff's lawyers in the 21st Century by tapping the invaluable, cost-effective capacities of medical records companies to deal with medical records and maximize potential damage awards?

In injury litigation, the value of cases absolutely gets decided by critical information contained in medical and billing records of a patient turned litigant or claimant. But who reviews these medical records, how and at what cost? There's a powerful argument to be made that current practices are unwise and unsustainable, particularly when compared with the modern, efficient option offered by medical records companies.

These firms, particularly the most advanced of them, can bring together experienced legal nurse consultants, experts in billing and auditing and knowledgeable life care planners in sophisticated, demonstrable and beneficial ways for plaintiff's counsel. In invaluable, swift fashion, these trained professionals can help attorneys receive the highest damage settlements and awards, protect those awards from legal assault and control costs by:

Accessing, organizing and analyzing medical records on a client, his current status and his claims and seeing how these all square with preexisting conditions and previous injuries. Legal nurse consultants can provide invaluable professional insight into possible outcomes for unresolved medical issues.

Providing hard-nosed, objective information so counsel can anticipate how the opposition will counterattack a case, from start to finish, and strategizing how to gain the upper hand from the onset to force resolution at a time that capitalizes damages.

Tackling difficult medical billings an invaluable step in light of the current colloquy over so-called Hanif-Nishihama defenses.

Determining sound, defensible plans for a client's care and calculating those costs for settlement purposes.

For now, let's start by tackling medical records and damages, setting this discussion in broad context: The winds of change are gusting through even the most august practices of the law. While litigation often increases in difficult times, most lawyers have seen business plummet as the nation undergoes one of the worst economic crashes in recent memory. The biggest firms are dismissing lawyers and cutting staff; even the billable hour, once sacrosanct for defense attorneys, sits now in clients' cost-cutting bull's eye. Entrepreneur-author David Galbenski describes powerfully in his recent book how the legal business is reacting fast: Smart practitioners are scrambling to analyze what they do best and how it gets them the highest return, while unbundling services and shipping out tasks to others who can take them on more efficiently. (David Galbenski, "Unbound: How Entrepreneurship Is Dramatically Transforming Legal Services Today," 2009) For plaintiff's attorneys, cost management has become a critical issue. Savvy practitioners are selecting cases carefully, figuring how best to pursue them, strategizing on how to attain the highest damages or knowing when to settle them for a client's maximum benefit and doing all this while keeping a careful eye on costs and overhead. This has meant that innovations in the practice of the law no longer are an abstract frill. They're a must.

But when it comes to medical records, old-fashioned ways still hold. Some lawyers, perhaps out of force of habit, wade through them by themselves. They put associates, paralegals or law clerks to work on them. Or they retain pricey physician experts, many of whom offer opinions only in their specialty area and without a wider perspective about a patient's care and needs information critical to building a case. While these professionals carry impressive credentials of their own, what's unclear to the objective eye is what knowledge, skill and experience they bring to a specialized task and what's the return on the investment for their services. As author Malcolm Gladwell has pointed out, it takes a big investment of time he estimates it to be at least 10,000 hours -- to acquire expertise in a given pursuit. (Malcolm Gladwell, "Outliers: The Story of Success," 2008, Little, Brown and Co.) After long toil to learn and to practice the law, how many counsel, much less paralegals, associates or law clerks, have sunk enough hours in to really claim mastery of matters medical? Can they accurately scrutinize and assess injury information from medical records, especially if it exceeds what a patient has discussed?

In contrast, good legal nurse consultants possess impressive curriculum vitaes with extensive clinical experience and years of preparing materials for litigation. They're comfortable with legal process. They're intimately familiar with medical records; they know how and where to find information, what they contain and how they're organized. They've cared for many, many patients, from injury onward through the medical process. Their expertise can be significant in cases from start to finish.

For plaintiff's counsel, it's crucial from the outset and throughout a case to get a full grasp of the extent and legal value of a patient-client's injury or harm. This key information, first and foremost, resides in medical records, which legal nurse consultants arguably are best positioned to handle. Although experience attorneys might still argue that they are capable of handling the review of medical records or need to do so in order to be properly prepped for their cases, there is a better way. Articulate, high level reviews of records by legal nurse consultants provide lawyers with the pertinent content of the medical records as well as a breath of insight and analysis pertaining to the plaintiff for the plaintiff's attorney to digest and utilize in what they do best, which is litigate. And from a business perspective, by embracing record review companies as strategic partners in their practice, they appropriately transfer overhead costs to case related charges.

Plaintiff's attorneys can work with medical records companies to decide the depth and breadth of the scrutiny they want their legal nurse consultants to undertake, from a brief review to a full-blown analysis. A quick scan performed by an expert of the medical records early on can give a plaintiff's attorney a crucial understanding of the potential value of a case and a way to estimate the effort needed for potential litigation or settlement. In a deeper study, legal nurse consultants can examine in detail what the records tell about a client's pre-existing injury, harm or conditions and advise, in medical terms, how these fit together. As veteran attorneys know, clients can be forgetful or they can overlook information or incidents that wise counsels need to know, whether in litigation or if the appropriate situation arises for settlement. If there are pending or unresolved issues in a client's records, legal nurse consultants also can offer insight into their potential medical disposition. For plaintiff's attorneys, all this information good, bad and ugly provided by nurse consultants can be huge in attaining the right experts and specialists, in preparing clients and experts for deposition, knowing what opposing counsel might use to unhinge their witnesses, in planning offensive strategies to undercut defenses impact on minimizing exposure and liability, in arguing motions and or ensuring certain evidence is admissible or excluded, all ultimately leading to obtaining the maximum settlement or damage awards for a client and doing so in the most time- and cost-efficient way for all concerned.

Often, of course, settlement isn't an option; a case gets beyond billing concerns. Suddenly, plaintiff's attorneys find themselves in pitched battle with defense counsel with damage awards very much at stake. Absent the easy, frequent access to the plaintiff that his counsel has, the defense attorneys, insurers and corporations in risk-management roles absolutely will launch a furious counterattack, often via medical records. And woe be to even the most experienced litigant who fails to anticipate the opposition's strategies and overestimates an affable client's credibility. Legal nurse consultants can give a major assist to plaintiff's attorneys, mapping out via medical records the flaws and strengths in a damage claim and letting them see how their clients look not in flesh-and-blood fashion but via cold ink and electrons.

As they scour the records, legal nurse consultants especially will see and determine the plaintiff's preexisting conditions or prior injuries and assess whether and how these jibe with current claims. They'll scrutinize what tests and procedures he has undergone and what kind of care and medications he's received. The nurse consultant will piece together a picture of the claimant as patient: Was he slow to seek care? How well did he follow doctor's orders? Did he miss appointments or fail to fill prescriptions or to follow treatment regimens? Did he forget about an old injury or existing condition?

Legal nurse consultants, with their deep experience with records and care, instantly will spot important materials missing in a medical file. This capacity can both buttress a plaintiff's case (was there negligent handling of him as evidenced by a missing report or diagnoses?) and prevent surprise defense attacks (in raising doubts about "phantom" documentation). And speaking of getting hit head on, how rattled in deposition could your client get when confronted with contradictory, unpleasant or forgotten facts extracted from his own medical records? Plaintiff's counsel could avert this from occurring with the assist of legal nurse consultants.

It goes without saying that legal nurse consultants, in all their efforts, cut through both medical and legal jargon. They present their findings in clear, organized tables and compelling narratives that can provide counsel the case foundation for a winning storyline. They're unfazed by reams of documents, and, taking advantage of the latest technologies, they can index and organize materials so an attorney instantly can find whatever's needed, even in the heat of a courtroom argument.

As with all providers of professional services, counsel, caveat emptor: Look at the qualifications of the individuals who will do the actual work contracted for; consider the company's capacity and record in delivering what's needed, especially with the flexibility demanded in difficult, fast-moving and challenging litigation, whether the matters seem large or small. If the point of unbundling this duty is to find someone else to assume this task in a cost-effective, efficient way, is the handling of medical records the central concern of this business? Or is it just one more sidelight? And what kind of customer service will you get and who will you deal with to get it?

Finally, of course, the price for all this expert effort must come into play. It ought to be considerably less than what might be racked up via in-house time and labor expenditures, or, certainly, what might be billed by a consulting physician or combination of medical experts. A quality company that specializes in medical records review will be open to pricing discussions for its services from beginning to end. Legal nurse consultants expect to work closely with clients to provide candor, transparency and controls on costs of their services. This adds to the growing enthusiasm for the medical records companies they're associated with and their place in legal services, unlike, say, the reception for Bartelby, that Melvillean character, who, when confronted by new work always "would prefer not to." Of course, this isn't the 19th Century, scriveners are gone and sophisticated members of the legal community are tackling 21st Century ways, with help from legal nurse consultants, to do vital work that adds up for the bottom line and contributes to maximizing damages for deserving clients.

Which Are the Types of Personal Injury That Can Result in a Lawsuit?

2009-12-17T16:02:00.001-08:00

Suffering through any type of injury is something that nobody ever wants to go through, but accidents happen. Now while it may be an accident, there is no reason that anyone should be faced with paying bills or that their insurance company should pay bills for something that was not their fault. There are various types of personal injury when it is absolutely necessary to get legal counsel.

Automobile Accidents we see them every day and just hope that it never happens to us. Not everyone is that lucky and regardless of how good a driver they are, they have no control over the other people on the road. While there are accidents that lawyers can be kept out of, there are also times when serious injury is caused and the best bet is to call an attorney.

Injuries at Work for the most part, workplace injuries are not something where damages can be sought. However, when the employer is not providing a safe work environment or is neglect, the employee is well within their rights to sue and seek damages. If there is the least bit of doubt, call an attorney to see if there is a case.

Dangerous Drugs at times, there are injuries that are related to prescription drugs that are not from abuse. Recent cases such as Fen Phen are a perfect example. Every now and again some things will get by the FDA or the drug companies are not totally forthcoming with all the information. Anyone injured because of this is entitled to damages.

Product Liability sometimes things are found out about items through an accident and while it is unfortunate that the manufacturer had no idea as it was not tested under certain circumstances, they are still liable. This may be one of the trickier aspects of personal injury law and an attorney should be contacted immediately.

Airplane Accidents when a plane crashes, it is a tragedy, but someone is ultimately at fault. Very rarely does something just randomly go wrong that someone was not responsible for. Whether death or injury is the result, an attorney is surely to be contacted in order to get the maximum benefits that are allowed.

Medical malpractice medical lawsuits are more commonplace than ever now with plastic surgery getting more and more popular. While there are some great surgeons out there, there are also a fair amount of hacks looking to cash in on the trend. Do not hesitate to contact an attorney if you have suffered at the hands of a doctor.

While these are the more common types of personal injury, there are still many others. Accidents happen, but just because they are an accident, it does not mean that someone should not have to pay for the suffering that was caused. Never try to settle or pursue a personal injury case without first getting in touch with an attorney. Their knowledge and expertise of the legal system may offer you surprising results.

The Birth Injury Case: Proving Malpractice (Part I)

2009-12-14T01:02:00.001-08:00

There is nothing more devastating than having a child born with a hypoxic brain injury. The mere fact that your child has a devastating injury or defect does not, however, mean that a doctor or nurse did something wrong. Separating the instances of unpreventable, unfortunate outcomes from true medical malpractice typically requires the assistance of an experienced birth injury lawyer. Most lawyers, once provided with the medical records, will undertake to evaluate your circumstance at no charge to you, and with the help of medical consultants will determine whether there is a provable claim. In Part I of this article, we we will discuss the information needed to evaluate a medical malpractice binrth injury claim.

a. Mother's Prenatal Records Before the Birth of the Baby

Typically, the mothers have had prenatal care, and have been seen by an OB/GYN, either privately or through a clinic, and have had ultrasounds or other imaging performed during their pregnancy. These records must be reviewed and analyzed for signs of problems during the pregnancy that may not have been properly addressed, or for evidence of a genetic condition which may have caused the poor outcome. Whether you have been properly screened for gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia (high blood pressure associated with pregnancies) or other conditions which might have affected the birth will be apparent in the prenatal record. These records will also identify the baby's due date and whether the baby was overdue or pre-mature.

b.Mother's Hospital Records

Hospital records of the labor and delivery will document when the doctors and nurses saw you and what they did to evaluate your baby immediately before and during the delivery. These records will show your status as well as the baby's during the course of your labor. Whether your labor was progressing normally or abnormally, whether the baby was descending at an acceptable rate, whether there were signs that the baby was having difficulty getting through the birth canal, whether the power or frequency of the contractions were appropriate and whether medications such as Pitocin were being properly given, are issues to be reviewed in these records.

c. Electronic Fetal Heart Tracings

Typically, you and your baby will have been monitored through an electronic fetal heart monitor which records the baby's heart rate, your contractions and vital signs. The electronic fetal monitor is intended to serve as an early warning system for potential problems with you or your baby. An expert can review these tracings to determine if there were signs of potential problems which went undetected and/or unresolved. The monitor tracings may reveal whether your contractions were occurring too close together, whether the baby was exhibiting signs of fetal distress and the extent to which nurses or physicians involved in the care were properly monitoring you and your baby and responding to any signs of danger. A hard copy of these monitoring strips are typically maintained by the hospital with the medical chart, and may contain hand written notations by the nursing staff with regard to what, if anything, was being done. These tracings can be the most significant evidence of negligence in a legal case.

d. The Baby's Records

The baby's records will document the baby's APGAR scores which assess the status of the baby at one and five minutes after birth, as well as the pH and oxygenation levels of the baby's blood. They will reveal when and if your baby suffered seizures consistent with a hypoxic injury, during the post-partum period.

e. Imaging Studies

Ultrasounds, CT scans, and MRIs of the baby's brain taken after the birth may reveal the presence of an anoxic brain injury and whether the damage was an acute event. These studies may provide a basis for determining the window of time within which your baby's injury occurred. Pediatric neurologists are typically consulted to review these studies.

CONCLUSION

Proving malpractice as a cause of a birth defect or injury is a difficult matter. The process of evaluating whether or not negligence occurred can be a long one. A thorough analysis of the records by an experienced birth injury lawyer working with medical experts is necessary to determine whether or not the claim can be proved. While an evaluation may not find that there was negligence, an evaluation by the professionals can at least give you some answers, as to why,the injury occurred.

Court Translators Versus Court Interpreters

2009-12-11T23:49:00.001-08:00

The demand for multilingual professionals is ever important in today's multicultural world. This is especially true in the court system, where it is vital that all participants be able to understand each other clearly. Court interpreters and court translators make this possible. There is a common misunderstanding that a "court interpreter" and a "court translator" are the same thing but in actual fact, they are two very different jobs and require different sets of skill. Some things they do have in common, are the absolute fluency in two or more languages (generally the language of the court system and at least one other), an understanding of legal terms in those languages, and a general "feel" for how people understand the words in those languages - beyond simple word-for-word conversion. There is more to translating and interpreting than just those things, however.

Court Interpreter

Court interpreters work with the spoken word. They listen to people as they speak in one language, and repeat the same thing in another language immediately after that. The court interpreter's job function is sometimes called "simultaneous translation" and this could be one of the reasons why they can be confused for court translators.

A court interpreter needs to be very alert and to have excellent listening skills. In addition, court interpreters need to be familiar with the subject matter of the court case other than legal terminology. Since people usually do not speak in one sentence at a time, a good memory is a very useful trait as well. Their job is essential to the conduct of court proceedings when the witnesses come from diverse backgrounds.

Court Translator

While the court interpreter works with the spoken word, the written word is the court translator's area of expertise. Their job is to convert documents written in one language into another.

Court translators need to be familiar with the languages that they work in on a literary level, because the written word is more complex and more formal than the spoken word. Their job is especially important because of the very specific way in which legal documents are written. It is for this reason that court translators need to have highly analytical minds and excellent research skills, so that they can learn the vocabularies of many subjects in two or more languages while they work. Legal proceedings usually have hard deadlines, so they need to be diligent, conscientious, constant workers. Finally, court translators work with official documents, so their spelling and grammar needs to be perfect. A court translator needs all the skills of a writer and an editor, in addition to an excellent command of two or more languages. Today, almost all translation work is performed on a computer, and most work projects are received and submitted electronically.

Both Court Translators and Court Interpreters are a valuable part of the court system. Neither job is more important than the other, less difficult than the other, and both are very much in demand because they are extremely important in maintaining the accurate and effective operation of the court system.

Injuries could put your life to a screeching halt. So it is only right that you get the appropriate justice for the injuries you have suffered due to the negligence or actions of another.

Personal injuries are usually caused by accidents. But even if they're accidents, there could be somebody or something that could be held responsible for it.

But in order for you to put up a winning case, you must seek the help of a reputable Florida personal injury lawyer. Such a lawyer should be an expert on Florida tort laws and procedural laws to make claims within the state. Every state has its own laws and mandates to follow. Getting an attorney from the area where the accident occurred is always the best move, even if you're from an entirely different state and are just vacationing in the state.

The fees for a Florida personal injury lawyer are different from many different cases. In most cases, the fees in a personal injury matter are contingent on the settlement of the case. Payment for their services is usually requested after a settlement or a favorable court decision was achieved on your behalf. However, these fees are taken from the settlement received and not out of pocket from the client. And in cases where no settlement is achieved, then the client does not owe anything to the lawyer.

Don't let an injury get the most of you without getting duly compensated for it. Recover lost wages, spoiled vacation time, and the high medical bills that the injury might have caused. You deserve to be treated well in case of unfortunate accidents. But somebody would have to be answerable to it. Seek the help of the expert Florida personal injury lawyer who could make you feel a little better even the worse accident befell on you.

Intellectual Property Law - Trademarks And Branding Made Easy

2009-12-10T10:13:00.001-08:00

Intangible assets such as trademarks, copyrights and patents have the same basic attributes of ownership as any tangible property. Then why do they seem so confusing? While the attributes of ownership for intangibles are the same as for those you touch, the nomenclature, i.e. the labels used to describe the rights in intangibles, are different from that which we learned with respect to hard assets. Learn the language of intangible assets and you will be on your way to a better understanding.

What terms are used instead of "sale" or "lease"? With real or personal property, one sells the car or the land, or rents or leases the house to a tenant. Intellectual property has the exact same rights and attributes, only the words are different. A total sale is called an "assignment" and a lease or rental of rights is a "license." One tenant is called an "exclusive licensee" and co-users of the same IP, at the same time, are "non-exclusive licensees."

What is a trademark? A trademark is a word, symbol, slogan or sound that is used to identify and distinguish your goods and services from those of your competitors. The rights in a trademark are secured and ultimately maintained only by continuous use in commerce on certain goods and services. Trademark rights are not established without use for particular goods or services.

What does it mean when a mark is "inherently distinctive?" A word, phrase or symbol that is "inherently distinctive" is strong and generally easy to protect as a trademark. It is a term that does not describe the qualities, characteristics or ingredients of your goods and services. It is protectable against third parties without proof of "secondary meaning" and serves as a strong sword against infringers and cyber squatters. While not always easy to select, inherently distinctive marks bring stronger value and protection to your business. The word "diesel" is generic as applied to truck and engine parts, but it becomes distinctive when applied "arbitrarily" to clothing. Diesel has nothing to do with clothing, except as a brand.

What is "secondary meaning" or acquired distinctiveness? Terms that describe the qualities, characteristics or ingredients of your goods are "descriptive" and cannot be registered as a trademark. Nor can those terms be used as a sword against infringers, unless the owner successfully proves that the mark has acquired a "secondary meaning" in addition to its literal meaning. The question is whether the mark can be shown to be known by the public as a product from a unique source? Is there a public association of the term with your product or service? For example, the owner of CHARCOAL STEAK HOUSE lost in an effort to enforce its name since it was held descriptive and the owner was unable to present enough evidence of secondary meaning.

How does a trademark differ from my company name? Formation of a company and the right to use that company name as a corporate entity has nothing to do with establishing trademark rights! The distinctive portion of a corporate name can become a trademark when correctly used in connection with the sale of goods or services to the public. However, until this occurs, a corporate name offers little protection against subsequent use in commerce by a competitor who establishes prior lawful use and/or registration with the U.S. Trademark Office for specific goods and services.

How does a domain name differ from a trademark? A domain is an address on the Internet. It is the location of your website, and may or may not be used to offer particular goods and services to the public. Domain names are not a substitute for a brand. Many domains cannot serve as trademarks, especially if they are only a descriptive term which describes the goods and services. Trademark rights in domains can be registered if the term is distinctive and used to advertise and sell goods and services. An example of a descriptive domain with little or no trademark protection is .
