[1] DJ Samantha Ronson, Lindsay Lohan's BFF, is suing the law firm she hired to sue Perez Hilton. TMZ obtained a copy of the suit, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court. Ronson hired the defendant, the law firm of David & Gilbert, after Hilton allegedly defamed her in connection with a now-infamous car crash in May 2007. Lindsay was at the wheel and Sam was a passenger when Lindsay crashed. Ronson claims the firm grossly overcharged her, claiming she received one invoice for $99,000 for a two-month period, even though she claims the firm said the entire case would not cost more than $75,000. She also says the firm threatened to leave her high and dry unless she paid up. Finally, she says the firm is responsible for screwing up the case. The defamation action against Hilton was di

A lawyer is a legal expert who, by virtue of his knowledge, has the responsibility of giving consultancy to his clients on matters related to law. An immigration lawyer, as suggested by his name, is one who helps people deal with processes that permit them to become a citizen. Immigration, dual citizenship, secondary passports, all are complex legal issues, which are amplified by the fact that they are country specific, and are constantly changing. Here lies the importance of immigration lawyers. In other words, immigration lawyers are experts in matters relating to immigration, dual citizenship, dual passports, etc, and use their expertise to help people who desire entry into any country for purposes of their own.Planning to settle down in the United States?If you are seeking to immigrate

It is often alleged that prostitution is the oldest profession known to mankind. This, as it turns out, is not true.

Proposal writing success means your clients read, understand, remember, and act positively on your proposal because you are "talking their language."Your proposal writing proves to them you understand their situation, their way of doing business, and their needs."Talking their language" also means you use words they know, understand, and use.You truly can learn a lesson about proposal writing from lawyers.Here's how.Any attorney in his or her right mind would never approach a jury and say:"Duly elected members of this august judicial contrivance. On said day, with malice in his coronary region and hatred imbued throughout his cerebellum, the heretofore accused did inflict four score and 17 lesions upon the countenances of the heretofore said dead.""Duly elected members of this august judic

Sometimes you have to think that we'd all be better off if Apple's marketing and trademark folks just dropped the corporate legal department out of their Rolodexes. Last week Bloomberg & Wired reported that Apple is still challenging the New York City environmental initiative GreenNYC's logo, which does look like an apple but not all that much like this Apple's apple. The trademark dispute hinges on the likelihood of public confusion and the possible dilution of Apple's mark, both of which seem to fail the silly test -- but you never do know.Considering that Apple was on the receiving end of a trademark fight with the Beatles for decades, it's not clear why it's prudent or necessary for the company to pick a fight with a city known as "the Big Apple" since before the invention of the v

No, not her! She's getting married. Go read the story over on NPR: The Justice Department's inspector general is investigating whether a career attorney in the department was dismissed from her job because of rumors that she is a lesbian. The case grew out of a larger inquiry into the firings of U.S. attorneys and politicization at Justice under former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. Several people interviewed by the inspector general's staff described the case to NPR and said they came away with the impression that the Attorney General's office decided not to renew Leslie Hagen's contract because of the talk about her sexual orientation. Hagen received the highest possible ratings for her work as liaison between the Justice Department and the U.S. attorneys' committee on Na

One man's misery can be another man's fortune. This seems to be the case with the mesothelioma victims on the one hand and mesothelioma lawyers on the other. An online feeding frenzy iscurrently taking place. The average mesothelioma case today is settled at around 1 million dollars, and that figure jumps to 6 million dollars when the lawsuit goes to the courts. With suchenormous money to be made, legal firms are hungry for a slice of the action, and are shelling out big money for online visitors. The result is that search engines and other sites that can supply them with those visitors are racking up huge revenue. It works like this. In the sponsored listings of search engines, clicks (visitors) are auctioned off to the highest bidder. When someone searches "mesothelioma" , the highest-bidding law firms appear. With the keen competition, these firms are paying as much as $100 per mesothelioma- related visitor to their web site. That's $100 every time someone just clicks on their ad

One afternoon a lawyer was riding in his limousine when he saw twomen along the roadside eating grass. Disturbed, he ordered his driverto stop and he got out to investigate. He asked one man, "Why areyou eating grass?""We don't have any money for food," the poor man replied.

Turning to the other poor manhe stated, "You come with us also."The second man, in a pitiful voice then said, "But sir, I also have awife and SIX children with me!""Bring them all, as well," the lawyer, answered. They all entered thecar, which was no easy task, even for a car as large as the limousinewas..Once underway, one of the poor fellows turned to the lawyer and said,"Sir, you are too kind.

New York Asbestos Lawyers Discuss Steam Pipe Explosion and Asbestos Testing The steam pipe explosion near Grand Central Terminal, in New York City, caused at least one death and many serious injuries New York  - July 20, 2007 -- Earlier this week, a steam pipe explosion near Grand Central Terminal, in New York City, caused at least one death and many serious injuries. The explosion also raised concerns about whether or not asbestos was released into the air when the steam pipe exploded.New York asbestos lawyer Robert I. Komitor of Levy Phillips & Konigsberg, LLP ("LPK") observed that, "Historically, most steam pipes were insulated with asbestos. Although asbestos insulation has been replaced with non-asbestos substitutes in some of the steam pipes, in New York City, many other pipes continue to be covered in asbestos."Shortly after the explosion, New York City officials announced that asbestos testing would be conducted to determine if the air surroundin

I, like most everyone else, do not particularly care for lawyers, even though technically I am one of them. As a group, they are all too full of themselves, and are predators on the various miseries that plague each of us, and society as a whole.So everyone always gets a big kick out of Shakespeare's advise to “first kill all the lawyers.” But most people who mouth that bit of wit, do not realize it was the opening salvo in an attempt to institute tyranny. I was reminded of this when I saw the spectacle of lawyers protesting the suspension of the constitution in Pakistan. As amusing as it was to see pompous lawyers in suits rioting on the streets of Islamabad, it really was rather profound.When lawyers are sworn into the bar they swear an allegiance to the constitution. And actually every time a criminal defense lawyer is trying to get their slimy client off on a “technicality” they are doing a service to the continued vitality of the Republic's Charter.But, today the consti

During a jury selection process, the first lawyer began his questioning as an intimidating showman.He looked over the prospective jurors and asked, "Do any of you here today dislike lawyers?"Before the pause became too long, the judge said, "I do."

A shocking article in the Grauniad today (HERE) states how Labour party officials and lawyers knew about Abrahams' funding arrangements and, in fact, set them up for him.The covenants drawn up four years ago were thought to exploit a loophole in the Political Parties Act and were created to ensure that Abraham's associates, Janet Kidd and Ray Ruddick and McCarthy, spent the money as he intended. It would also ensure he didn't pay tax on the money given to them. A Labour informer has said that two officials were then responsible for "shepherding the cash". Cox has reported before how identity theft may be involved in donor gate.So, donorgate has taken a new turn for the worst. We still don't know whether it was Abrahams' idea or Labour's to give money through third parties but if they were actively setting this up who knows what they're capable of. It will be interesting to see how Sir Michael White, the BBC's resident apologist for New Labour, tries to shove this under the carp

THOUGH corporate deal making is filled with uncertainty, one thing that you can generally count on is that the lawyers always get paid. Investment banks have received a lot of attention for their big lump-sum fees and year-end bonuses, but the legal profession has also been cashing in on the frenzy of mergers and acquisitions, at rates traditionally set at hundreds of dollars an hour. For some firms, billable hours are just the beginning. As the boom rolled on, law firms specializing in mergers and acquisitions increasingly engaged in premium billing, charging fees in excess of their total hourly billings. Think of it as a tip for good work. Whether a client pays a premium depends upon its satisfaction with the result, the size and complexity of the transaction, and the nature and length of the attorney-client relationship. But since the credit market began to tighten this summer, an event that brought new deals to a crawl and has upset several old ones, many lawyers have been wonderin

According lawyers for Britney Spears and Kevin Federline faced off in a hearing Monday to hammer out a holiday visitation schedule for their children. According to Federline’s lawyer, the former couple agreed to share time with Preston, 2 and Jayden James, 1, over Christmas.“There was a proposal by Kevin that the holidays be shared in a certain fashion. That was agreed to. That’s the best for everyone involved,” Federline’s attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, said Monday. “[Federline] was pleased it was accomplished without really submitting it to the court.”Speaking after dining at the Palm restaurant in West Hollywood, Kaplan declined to list the split of time for Christmas morning, but said it was the best way to celebrate for the children.“It’s important for the kids to spend time with each of the parents – especially on special days,” said Kaplan. “And that is Kevin’s desire.”Spears’s lawyer had no comment after the hearing Monday.During Thanksgiving, Spea

The Covenant Network's latest statement of purpose says nothing about legislative activities at the 2008 GA, but is putting its energy into judicial cases.

Over 43,000 Americans have been lost to Mesothelioma since 1979, a vicious form of cancer, which strikes the protective sac around most of the internal organs within the human body.
