Understanding what motivates employees to file a lawsuit against their employer may help employers avoid being sued. Remembering the Golden Rule goes a long way.Feeling Helpless. Arises from a feeling that one's work life is no longer in one's control - the more this loss of control appears to come from wrongful action, the more likely the employee will sue.Not understanding why they were fired/

Can't afford to hire a lawyer to help you? Or, just don't want to spend the money - afterall, you did a decent job installing the ceiling fan all by yourself. Well this recent post directs the small business owner to various sources for "free" or low-cost legal forms that you can use.A word of caution however, that the writer does not address: being your own lawyer is not the same as

Our society is litigious, no question about that. I think there is plenty of blame to go around for this state of affairs and the lawyers aren't the only ones at fault. It is incumbent upon all attorneys to make sure potential clients understand the drawbacks to litigation rather than simply signing them up and depositing the retainer check. Here's my short list of things every client needs to

Blazing the legal trail as usual, the Ninth Circuit has apparently now made being an *&^%hole in the workplace a colorable cause of action for gender-based discrimination.Annie bar the door.

There’s a considerable amount of confusion floating around about estate planning, perpetuated by some silly misinformation and/or misunderstanding. People generally aren’t overly excited to dwell on their mortality, which estate planning naturally involves; add to that reluctance what I view as an overly-aggressive financial planning industry and you’ve got plenty of fodder for snopes.com-like

Justice is expensive. The more mulah you have, the better your chances. Look at Michael Jackson and O.J. I've handled what I thought were pretty expensive divorces when I was practicing law full-time in Wyoming, but this case has to set a new record for legal fees in a divorce, especially in Wyoming.
