Construction is dangerous: Be cautious, alert and safe

On Behalf of | Wednesday Feb 27, 2019 |

The construction industry is not very safe, even though many steps have been taken to make it safer over time. People who work in this industry find that they're exposed to a greater number of hazards, which can mean that they're put at risk of injuries more often. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) showed that over 9 percent of 3.3 million nonfatal injuries and illnesses were suffered by people in the construction industry. Many of these injuries were due to falls, falling objects, equipment-related accidents and repetitive-motion injuries. As the summer approaches, one...

Man sues city, police for wrongful arrest in New York

On Behalf of | Friday Feb 15, 2019 |

In recent news from Jan. 28, it was reported that a man decided to sue the city and the New Rochelle Police Departments for his wrongful arrest. He claims that he was taken into custody in January 2018 when the police received an anonymous call stating that he'd violated an order of protection by being at the address. The order of protection mandated he stay away from a woman who was later called for verification.

Tell your defense attorney everything for the best protection

On Behalf of | Friday Feb 1, 2019 |

Criminal defense is important to any person who has been arrested and for those who could potentially be arrested. For example, those who are potentially involved in fraud could see colleagues or employers arrested before they're implicated themselves. From the moment that any investigation begins, having an attorney on your side is important. Some people feel uncomfortable talking to their defense attorneys about what really happened in a situation. Why? They don't want to be judged or be turned in.
