I've been thinking about getting a new car. My current car, a 2002 Audi A4 is getting too small. There's not enough legroom in the rear for my daughter, due to the booster seat. This is another reason government regulation pushes people into larger vehicles, but I digress. I'd have her in a booster seat anyway.I think I like the Toyota RAV4. I know what I want -- V6, 4WD, 3rd row seat, and a

I have often been critical on my other blog about overzealous prosecutors. Most prosecutors are reasonable, but there are a few that seem to take a "holier than thou" attitude. This is the biggest reason why some are happy to see Eliot Spitzer's fall.But there's a larger lesson about government policy. In most of the United States, prostitution is illegal. For some reason this doesn't seem to

Someone suggested we add a truck accident page to our website, so I did that today. Accident cases involving tractor-trailers are typically higher-value cases, due to higher insurance coverage and the severity of the injuries. Fortunately they are also rare.I revised some other pages on the personal injury section of the website while I was doing that. The neatest thing now is I added a map in

Our traffic court directory is doing well. The Alexa "rank" is approaching #600,000 (i.e. the 600,000th busiest site on the web). By comparison our law firm site is ranked over 2,000,000. Alexa is not perfect, but it's in the ballpark. Within the US the site is now within the top 100,000 websites.We've added a lot of traffic courts in Ohio. So far not many people are going to the Cincinnati

I saw someone complaining about "too many lawyers" today and I started ranting. You see, the problem is not too many lawyers. It's too many laws. The more laws you make, the more demand you create for lawyers.Great example is the new Aggravated DWI law -- the higher offense for BAC over 0.18, and new rules limiting plea bargaining. Now instead of us just making deals for our clients that gets

I was born with a congenital defect - I'm a Giants fan. I'm pretty sure it came on the Y chromosome. Despite years of general apathy about sports, I somehow still get excited about the Giants. I've gotten over the Knicks, the Mets, my college teams, etc. But I still love the Giants.So tonight I watched the Super Bowl, with the inherent pessimism that comes with being a Giants fan. By the end of

Our 6-year-old surprised me last night. My wife and I were talking in the front seat about allegations that a particular presidential candidate doesn't like Jews. Our daughter asked why so-and-so doesn't like Jews. Seeking to avoid that kind of issue with her (at least while driving a car and not really able to discuss it), I said that we were just joking."I know you're not joking because mommy
