To say I’m an infrequent blogger is an understatement, but I’m very frustrated, and I just had to get this off my chest. I’ve been practicing law now for more than 41 years. During that time, I’ve won some and I’ve lost my share of lawsuits.

I, along with two of my best friends, who are terrific trial lawyers, Louis Silber and John Romano, (our local Palm Beach County Legal Dream Team!), have had the very great pleasure of representing our Palm Beach County Tax Collector.

Last September, I posted about reverse mortgages.

The politicians who were against the recent Health Care Reform Act, and the health insurance industry, kept repeating the myth that most people are happy with their health insurance.

Initiated in 2005, Williams vs. Heritage Operating, L.P. was brought on behalf of a Class of former Peoples Gas Customers improperly charged tank rent for propane tanks that were buried in, or installed on, Class members’ respective property.

Health insurance policies are contracts which spell out the rights and obligations of the parties. These policies are designed to pay for medical expenses as provided for under the policy, however, policies also contain exclusions which can limit the scope of coverage.
