How do I know which lawyer to hire?
Hiring a lawyer is an extremely important decision and one that should be studied and measured with great care. I suggest that individuals research law firms, read all the material available on the potential attorney's websites and then make an appoinment to sit down and have a face to face meeting with the attorney. If you need an attorney, chances are good that you will form a relationship with the attorney your hire, such a relationship that will require you to not "like" your attorney, but be able to have full faith and confidence that you made the right decision and that your money will be well spent.
What I suggest regarding research involves determining what type of lawyer you need. I use the analogy that if you need a heart transplant, you are not goign to go to a foot specialist. The same is true for attorneys....If you need a divorce, I would not suggest you go to a lawyer who advertises that he or she does divorce and car wrecks and contracts and wills and motorcycle wrecks and criminal...YOU WANT A DIVORCE LAWYER, not a "Jack Of All Trades."
Find a divorce lawyer who does divorce and family law only and research that lawyer. Call the number on the website and talk to the staff....are they friendly? are they helpful? Reseach what is available to you from the website. Does the attorney appear to offer helpful information? Does the attorney appear to take his or her job seriously?
The main thing is information. You cannot go through a legal proceeding in the dark. Make a well calculated decision when you need to hire an attorney.

Y2K....all over again!
Well, it happened. I woke this morning and had the dreaded BLUE screen....I was sure life for me as I knew it was over, done, finished. I would never have internet service again....crazy thoughts filled my mind.
I read the warning to check my computer for malware about midnight last night and kind of scoffed at the idea that I might be affected....Turns out, I wasn't....I am forced, without a vote, to change my password every sixty days or so as as luck would have it, this morning was day sixty. Talk about timing.
I have just now recovered from worries of the year 2000 destroying everything that existed in the computer world, now I have to worry about the malware worm because of the warning from the Associated Press: "Thousands of people around the country whose computers were infected with malicious software more than a year ago faced the possibility of not being able to get online after midnight EDT."
Fortunately, my password changed, the K-Cup delivered a nice cup of Joe and I am ready to try 4 divorce trials this week.
Oh my, I just remembered the world may end in 2012....Let's be prepared if it does!

Article by Ben Stevens regarding Ipad
More Attorneys Using the iPad
POSTED ON SEPTEMBER 7, 2010 BY J. BENJAMIN STEVENS
Earlier this week, I was talking with an attorney from California about the ever increasing number of lawyers who are using the iPad. He commented that he was hearing them say, "Hey, the OS is so easy to use on the iPad, why don't we consider using Macs in our law practices." I told him that I predicted from its release that the iPad would be the "gateway drug" for a whole new wave of Mac converts.
Computerworld published an article earlier this week that verifies my prediction. Consider the following quotes/facts from that article:
Chicago-based law firm Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal allows the firm's lawyers to use iPads, and up to 100 of the 800 attorneys around the globe are already doing so -- at their own expense.
"The iPad has real value for attorneys servicing our clients, of being able to access corporate data and document libraries immediately and [doing so] a lot quicker than on a laptop," said Michael Barnas, the firm's director of application services. "They take iPads and iPhones everywhere."
The firm's IT professionals have OK'd the iPad's security and manageability and can provide limited support to a road warrior having problems logging in, authenticating or using Citrix Receiver.
[W]ith the second version [of the iPhone], it was possible for IT to design and install security certifications for a second layer of password authentication, and it was possible to do remote wipes of data on iPhones that were stolen or lost. The iPhone 3GS allowed the firm to add Citrix Receiver for another level of security.
