Governor Northam recently approved of permanent workplace safety and health standards to remain effective throughout the pandemic beginning January 27, 2021. The governor said, “While the end of this pandemic is finally in sight, the virus is still spreading, including several highly contagious variants, and now is not the time to let up on preventative measures”. The newly approved…
I’m going to school you on what an expungement is because I frequently receive calls at my office, emails from the general public, or inquiries through my website contact form submission asking if I can help them clear or erase (“expunge”) a criminal charge. People often don’t know exactly what this means or how it…
I’ve been handling personal injury cases for just shy of a decade now. During that time, the types of cases I’ve handled have ranged from motor vehicle accidents to slip and falls or injury on private property to medical malpractice. A far majority of those cases were due to a client being involved in a car…
No one looks into filing for bankruptcy unless you’re financially cornered and looking toward a place where you’re not at the end of your ropes.

Maybe most of you understood that this is a post informing you to not use phones while you’re driving (not free of hands as the title would suggest).

It’s because an individual who is awaiting his constitutional right to…
On December 14, 2020, the Heritage Foundation published an article titled, “Meet Steve Descano, the Rogue Prosecutor Whose Policies Are Wreaking Havoc in Fairfax County, Virginia“. If you refer to my previous blog post, you’ll recall that in Fairfax County, the chief prosecutor, Steve Descano, who was elected to start his 4-year term on January 1,…
This year marked my 10th year as an attorney. I started off handling traffic and criminal defense cases then progressed into personal injury where I successfully obtained fair compensation for my clients. Most recently, about two years ago, I began my bankruptcy practice with the aid and guidance from my friend and colleague, John Bevis….
COVID-19 has devastated our country during this past year. Since March, the total death count due to this virus has now reached 300,000.
