Still have an office in Sharpsburg!
If you need to contact on a moment, email me at [email protected] and leave your phone number or I will set up a ZOOM video conference asap!

“Technology allows us to be closer than ever before, but sometimes it can get us into some controversial situations.
For example, recording arrests or police activity. From Rodney King to George Floyd, recordings of police activity have changed our world.
Is it ever wrong to record uniformed law enforcement at work? Is it always legal to record an arrest? Could you face arrest if you record the police in the Peach State?
Here’s what to know before you press record.
Here’s what GA law says
According to the University of Georgia’s school of law , “Under the First Amendment, citizens have the right to record the police performing their duties in public. This right is essential to informing the public about police activity and holding government accountable for the actions of law enforcement.”

Specifically in Georgia , the Atlanta Police Department cannot interfere with a citizen’s right to record and they can’t delete or destroy the recording.
Here’s what to remember
If you are thinking of recording an arrest, crime or police activity of some sort:
You have the right to record almost anything in public
You’re not legally obligated to send the video to the police
Your video contains a lot of potentially important evidence
You could become a witness in a criminal case
You may face some uncomfortable public scrutiny”

My copy of this fundamentals book is dog eared. I credit at least half a dozen NDA settlements with another good reading of its contents before forcing settlement on the eve of trial.

Trial Guides Customer Tom Wuori Wins $13.4M Premises Liability Verdict Congratulations to Trial Guides customer Tom Wuori, of Ringsmuth Wuori, for his recent $13.4 million verdict! Tom credits lessons learned from Rules of the Road and David Ball on Damages 3, as well as several books by Keith Minik, for helping him reach this ideal outcome for his client. Tom was kind...

If someone is seriously injured who should their loved ones call? A local lawyer, of course! Your local lawyer is interested in the best outcome possible, not funding a gigantic advertising bill coming due by settling cases short. If a bigger or more specialized law firm or lawyer should be associated or even take over the case, your local lawyer will know who to refer you to. And guess what? The specialized, "magic touch" lawyers don't advertise much if at all, they work cases referred to them by ... a local lawyer of course!

Many years ago I had a Camp Lejeune victim dying of cancer hire me to look into filing a claim. There wasn't a way to do it. Now that a lot of marines have died of cancer and all the other things caused by the poisoned water there, Congress finally grants those vets some relief? Well call me if you have a claim. I will facilitate getting you into one of the several big firms doing the claims. New Litigation Update


CAMP LEJEUNE ACT SIGNED BY THE PRESIDENT
Clients Live All Across the US
President Biden signed the Camp Lejeune Justice Act today, allowing military personnel and their families who suffered injuries or death from exposure to the water at Camp Lejeune to bring a new claim for compensation.

Between 1953 and 1987, water supplies at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina were contaminated with hazardous chemicals linked to numerous injuries, including:
Cancer
Neurological defects, such as Parkinson's disease or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
Miscarriages
Birth defects
Other injuries
Over one million military service personnel and their families were exposed to contaminated water. The government knew that the water had been contaminated but took no action.

Our Toxic Torts lawyers are filing claims demanding compensation for injured parties who were at Camp Lejeune for 30 days or more during this time period. We welcome the opportunity to work with you or discuss any cases you receive on the topic.

You can reach our team by simply replying to this email to start the conversation.

Finished Steve Rinelli’s book, American Buffalo, highly recommend. Now starting this:

Not bad for a solo practitioner. Because of some reckless drivers, bad products, and a few of the rare psychopaths in the Nursing Home Profit business I have personally recovered well over 50M+ (NDAs prevent posting a true number), for seriously injured/harmed victims

R Keith Prater, PC The mechanics of personal injury, liability and DAMAGES

Bed rock truth

Yes you can call me if exposure to PFAS chemicals has cause you injury and pain.

Companies Face Billions in Damages as PFAS Lawsuits Flood Courts For years, plaintiffs’ lawyers suing over health and environmental damage from so called forever chemicals, known collectively as PFAS, focused on one set of deep pockets—E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Co.

Pause, Remember, Reflect.

I like to sometimes show you creatures you may never have seen or knew existed. I think this Brazilian Treehopper qualifies

Getting properly reimbursed if you are in a wreck. It’s called DAMAGES. Besides taking a semester in law school on just that subject, I guess I have about 15 books in my library about it; all read, many underlined, highlighted, and a couple are even “dog earred”. I am here if you or your family or friend ever gets hurt bad. If I can’t handle your case I will know who can.

Read it, study it, know it as part of your soul.

"The Conventions of a number of the States, having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added: And as extending the ground of public confidence in the Government, will best ensure the beneficent ends of its institution."

in 1791, the Bill of Rights was ratified.
