Potential for saving big bucks seeking legal advice before you think you need it
Imagine you purchased a new home and have the opportunity to help your best childhood friend who has, like many, suffered from financial difficulty as a result of the economic downturn by giving her a five year lease with option to purchase your old house.

Compliance with discovery orders
It seems that my blog was found by someone with the following question: If there is a Court order to produce documents by a certain date and you fail to do so what happens to you? Well, one thing I learned during my time in big law and in law school was that the answer to almost any legal question is usually, “It depends.” This one is no different. Before I get into the substance, I have to be...Read More
The Injunction that wasn't – on HOA lien Foreclosures
Gearing up for a complex, urgent, matter can be such an adrenaline rush. Early the other morning, I get a call from a broker friend about a referral. A homeowners’ association (HOA) has set a sale date for the foreclosure of its lien for unpaid assessments. The foreclosure is scheduled for Friday morning and needs to be stopped so that the homeowner can sell the house. I immediately think...Read More

And it can happen years after you thought you swept that car note, mortgage, or other bad debt under the rug. Generally speaking, before legally garnishing (i.e. “freezing”) a bank account, a lawsuit must have been filed and a judgment must have been entered against you. While...Read More
Home deaths in Nevada?
A recent poster on Avvo.com asked whether or not “home death” is an option. I found this question extremely interesting and did some research to find out whether home death is possible in my state. As far as burying on your own property goes, it looks as though in some of the smaller counties (less than 50,000) in Nevada, you may be able to inter a family member on your own property so long as...Read More
Non-Traditional Lawyer, at your service
Opening my own law firm has really made me grateful for the time and effort I put into my education and my career over the years. I have had the luck of finding amazing mentors and friends along the way. So, while I have no intention of stealing the thunder from the Nevada Bar’s Transitioning Into Practice Program, this was my Transition Into Practice and it was quite a journey. What the...Read More
