san francisco law 2012 One of America’s most progressive cities leads the legal community, too, with new legislation that tackles the city’s asbestos personal injury caseload and environmental and LGBT issues. Here are some of the year’s most notable trends.

S

an F rancisc o is th e epicenter of asbestos-related cases, and budget cuts have created a mounting caseload the courts simply can’t manage. The log jam prompted the San Francisco Superior Court to adopt a new set of procedural guidelines for asbestos personal injury and wrongful death cases in July. The new rules, signed into law by Judge Teri Jackson, will replace the former Asbestos General Orders with a Case Management Order that will oversee all asbestos-related cases. The order, which aims to streamline asbestos cases and minimize costs, follows a recent decline in the number of asbestos filings amid severe budget cuts in 2011. The guidelines grew out of a collaboration between committee members from the defense and plaintiff sides of the asbestos bar.“I think everybody who worked on it is generally satisfied,” plaintiffs attorney Stephen Tigerman of Harowitz and Tigerman told The Recorder, an ALM affiliate. The most notable change is a cap on the deposition times for dying plaintiffs. This is a significant development for patients diagnosed with mesothelioma, a form of lung cancer that is almost exclusively caused by asbestos exposure. 6 San Francisco’s Top Rated Lawyers

Victims rarely survive for more than a year after their initial diagnosis. A nearly doubled filing fee accompanies a new designation of all asbestos cases as “complex” under the Standards of Judicial Administration and California Rules of Court. The initial appearance now costs $435 in addition to a complex designation fee of $1,000 per defendant, which can total up to $18,000 per case. Parties can also now request a case management conference to resolve issues related to the trial setting conference and trial date. The court maintained several key rules, such as the ability to file electronically and the requirement of plaintiffs to provide a preliminary fact sheet when filing that contains basic case information. Attorneys from Berry & Berry of Oakland were retained as the designated defense counsel. The San Francisco Superior Court has historically handled the largest asbestos-related caseload of any of California’s Superior Courts. It has been a popular venue for asbestos litigation since the 1970s,attracting cases primarily due to the court’s tradition of being tough on defendants. A 2010 report published by the San Francisco Superior Court found that court staff spent up to

four times as much time on filing asbestos cases in relation to other civil cases and nearly twice as much judge time. In an effort to reduce the number of cases that went to trial, the court in 2010 created a single department to manage asbestos cases. It assigned a settlement manager to each case to ensure that the parties exhaust all settlement options before a case goes to trial. As a result, the number of cases that settled rose dramatically: According to a recent report in The San Francisco Daily Journal, 56 percent of cases were settled in 2011, up from the 20 percent settled in 2009. Last year’s statewide budget cuts, which sharply affected the San Francisco Superior Court,prompted the layoffs of 40 percent of court staff and the closure of two complex litigation departments. Those cuts have added to the asbestos caseload backlog. Yet the cases keep coming. Of California’s 58 counties, 45 have naturally occurring asbestos deposits; some of them are among the largest in the world. The Environmental Protection Agency has designated many state sites Superfund sites. And the Mesothelioma Center has ranked California as having the highest number of asbestos-related deaths

in the country. U.S. Navy veterans from shipyards such as California’s Hunters Point, closed by the EPA in 1991, have been particularly affected after long-term exposures to asbestos.The mineral was used widely in ship and submarine building and repair.Nearly 1,000 asbestos-related cases are now pending in California, particularly concentrated in the Los Angeles, Alameda, and San Francisco Superior Courts. The new order hopes to help give San Francisco’s plaintiffs their day in court.

Citywide Plastic Bag Ban Goes into Effect

“Paper or plastic?” A new city ordinance put a definitive end to the checkout line question throughout San Francisco. The answer is paper— and it’s a dime per bag. The ban is an expansion of the city’s 2007 law banning plastic bags at large supermarket chains and pharmacies, which was the first of its kind in the country. Now all local retailers are required to switch to paper and can charge 10 cents per bag, or more for compostable bags.The ordinance aims to encourage customers to make a habit of bringing along their own reusable bags when they shop. The San Francisco Department of the

Environment will implement the ban, which went into effect on October 1 (restaurants and bakeries, which will make the transition in 2013, were the only exceptions). The 10-cent charge will offset the cost to retailers of providing paper bags. Stores that don’t comply with the new ordinance could face up to a $500 fine, but officials from the Department of the Environment plan to work with retailers through the transition. The Save the Plastic Bag Coalition, an industrybacked group, filed an unsuccessful suit opposing the law when it was first signed earlier this year.This September, San Francisco Superior Court Judge Teri Jackson upheld the law. The coalition has sued other counties imposing similar bans throughout the state, arguing that the bans are largely symbolic and that the environmental impact of reusable bags and paper bags is worse than that of plastic. The group plans to make an appeal against the San Francisco ban this fall.

New Legislature Streamlines Urban Farming Initiatives

San Francisco has long pioneered the greening of urban spaces, and “locavores” have new cause to celebrate.In July,city supervisors approved legislation

that smoothes the path for cooperative farming projects to take root on vacant property and on city rooftops. The bill follows new legislation made in 2011 that makes selling San Francisco-grown food legal and the operation of small farms easier.The new bill allows the establishment of an Urban Agriculture Program to oversee all the city’s agriculture programs, and particularly focuses on aiding communityorganized projects. It also aims to cut through bureaucracy that required urban farmers get approval from multiple city departments before they could gain access to land. The Urban Agriculture Program will be able to audit vacant land owned by the city and to evaluate city-owned rooftops for potential public gardens. The program also may develop incentives for owners of vacant lots to allow their land to be used for community gardens. According to the San Francisco Planning and Urban Research Association (SPUR), which helped put the bill in motion, more than twenty urban farming projects have been launched since 2008.The demand for more space grows each year, as people become more conscious of the health and economic benefits to growing their own food.

Your car is considered a “lemon.”However, don’t despair. There are lemon laws that may provide you a remedy.

What’s a Lemon Law?

these low quality vehicles. States vary as to exactly when an automobile is considered a “lemon.” It’s usually based on the number of times an automobile needs to be repaired within a certain period or the number of days it needs to be in the repair shop. Lemon laws have been passed in every state. The federal lemon law is called the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. Many state lemon laws provide better consumer protection than the federal law.

Some common examples include: Motorcycles  Motor homes  Vehicles weighing more than 10,000 lbs.  Mopeds You won’t be able to receive a remedy if the vehicle defect was caused by abuse. You also can’t use the vehicle in a way that’s outside the warranty terms. Consumers are usually required to give notice to the dealer and manufacturer for any lemon law claim. Some state laws require consumers to go through arbitration to resolve a dispute. You can then go to court if you aren’t satisfied with the outcome. Lemon laws have time limits for when you can file a claim. These time limits are generally a few years. You can’t recover under your state lemon law if you file a claim outside its time limit. 

Used Vehicles

Many states include used vehicles in their lemon laws. Usually an express warranty from the dealer is required to have lemon law protection for a used car. Newer used cars may also continue to have a manufacturer warranty.

Preparation for a Lemon Law Claim

The most important thing to remember is to document all repairs. Track the number of repairs and the amount of time the car has to be in the shop. Make sure to get repair orders from the shop to back up your information. Follow the notice requirements under your state lemon law. Send the notice in writing and make sure to get confirmation that it’s been received. Attempt to get a refund or replacement without having to go to court. You may have to go through arbitration to get a refund or replacement. Make sure to file any lemon law claims within the set time limit.

ESTATE AND GIFT TAX COUNSELING FOR THE ELDERLY

T

he federal estate and gift taxes affect transfers of property at different stages in the owner’s life. The gift tax applies to lifetime transfers, while estate tax is imposed on transfers at death. The gift tax return is due on April 15 following the year in which the gift is made. Generally, the estate tax return is due nine months after the date of death. You can get a six-month extension if you ask for one before the due date and the estimated correct amount of tax is paid before the due date. The federal government imposes estate tax at your death only if your prop-

erty is worth more than a certain amount, which depends on the year of death.

Federal Estate Tax

estate tax is a tax on your right to transfer property at your death. It consists of an accounting of everything you own or have certain interests in at the date of death. The fair market value of the items is used, not necessarily what you paid for them or what their values were when you acquired them. The total of all of these items is your “gross estate.” The includible property may consist of items such as cash and securities, estates, insurance, trusts, annuities, business interests and other personal assets. once you’ve accounted for the gross estate, certain deductions are allowed in arriving at your “taxable estate.” This will be the amount where the tax is Barulich Dugoni Law Group, Inc., founded in 1989 by Paul calculated.

Property Exempt from Estate Tax

All property left to a spouse is exempt from the tax, as long as the spouse is a U.S. citizen. Also, there is no estate tax on any property you leave to a tax-exempt charity.

State Death Taxes

In addition to the federal estate tax, a state death tax may be imposed. There are two types of these taxes: inheritance taxes and estate taxes. Inheritance taxes are paid by your inheritors, not your estate. Typically, how much they pay depends on their relationship to you. State estate taxes are similar to the estate tax imposed by the federal government. Your estate must pay this tax no matter who your beneficiaries are.

The Federal Gift Tax

The gift tax is a tax on the transfer of property by one individual to another while receiving nothing, or less than full value, in return. The tax applies whether the donor intends the transfer to be a gift or not. If you sell something at less than its full value or if you make an interest-free or reducedinterest loan, you may be making a gift. While a gift tax return must be filed whenever an individual makes a taxable gift, a gift tax is not payable unless total taxable gifts, both in the current and prior years, exceed $1 million. A separate annual exclusion applies to each person to whom you make a gift. Gifts that fall under the annual exclusion have no tax consequences. This means that the gift giver’s lifetime unified credit is not affected.

Questions for Your Attorney Before meeting with your attorney, prepare yourself with questions such as: 

Will my estate be subject to state death tax?



What is the best way to leave money or property to charity?

COLLABORATIVE DIVORCE LAW

i

NCReASINGLY, DIVoRCING couples are using collaborative law in an effort to settle their differences in a positive, cooperative manner that resolves child custody issues, the division of assets, and alimony in a mutually agreeable manner. In a collaborative divorce, each spouse and their lawyers agree to stay out of court, freely share information and avoid taking advantages of any mistakes that might be made.

 Less time-consuming, as you can usually reach agreement and the legal proceeding can be finalized within a short time Collaborative law gives both spouses and their lawyers control of the proceedings, in contrast to a traditional divorce, where a judge controls the proceedings.

The Collaborative Process

one of the first steps in the collaborative process is to determine what assets or income each party has using a method known as “share and verify’’. You are asked to disclose information voluntarily and to verify it with documentation and tax returns. At what are known as joint sessions or four-way con-

ferences, both spouses and their collaborative lawyers (and sometimes other neutral professionals) meet to discuss the issues and seek ways to create or arrive at agreement. They brainstorm for any and all possible solutions. All parties focus on ways to resolve the problem, instead of seeing the other party as the problem and attacking each other. each spouse often starts seeing things more from their spouse’s point of view. When you reach a divorce agreement through collaborative law, one of the lawyers will draft legal documents that detail the agreements which have been reached. These legally binding documents are then submitted to the court for approval without having to go through a long court hearing.

What Happens If Settlement Can’t Be Reached?

If you can’t arrive at a settlement through the collaborative law approach, the collaborative lawyers withdraw from the case and each party will hire a divorce attorney to tackle the issues in court. That way, you’ll have had the best representation for each phase of the proceedings. Any person approaching a divorce situation should talk with a collaborative lawyer to get an assessment of his or her situation to see if it might be settled without litigation. The earlier this is done, the more chance there is for the other party to be oriented toward a settlement approach.

Questions for Your Attorney If you and your spouse both agree to engage in a collaborative divorce, your next step is to find a lawyer who is experienced in this field. As you interview attorneys, consider asking the following questions: 

Is my divorce suitable for using the collaborative process?



Do you have collaborative law experience?



Are you a member of any associations of collaborative lawyers?



How do you charge for your services?

A Warrior For The Injured

SPOTLIGHT

The hard work of helping injured people brought Mary Alexander to the field of law, and her passion for justice has kept her true to those ideals.

m

ary Alexander has always felt a duty to better society. To start, she devoted a decade to science, first as a toxicology researcher and then as the director of environmental health at the Stanford Research Institute. But she wanted her work to protect consumers and the environment more directly—which led her to law school. “I was drawn to law because I wanted to be able to help individuals one-on-one,” she says. “I wanted to help make more of a difference in people’s lives.” As the principal of Mary Alexander & Associates in San Francisco, Alexander has spent the past 30 years fighting for the victims of personal injury and products liability. She chose that path upon graduation, after she was offered a job at one of California’s most prestigious firms. The firm wanted her to lend scientific expertise in the defense of an oil company being sued by the widow of an employee who had died of leukemia after exposure to benzene. Alexander’s first husband, an engineering student who had regularly handled benzene in laboratory studies, had died of leukemia a year prior. “I realized then that I wanted to represent that widow and others like us,” she remembers. Despite the considerable pay cut, she turned down the offer and took a job as a plaintiff ’s attorney. Alexander has stayed true to her pledge to fight for victims and their families ever since. In one of her most celebrated cases, she represented a woman who had been struck in her car by a truck that ran a red light. The woman was instantly paralyzed from the neck down. She was ultimately awarded $45 million for lost pay, future medical bills, and emotional damage, as well as the lost pay her husband had suffered after quitting his job to take care of her. “The verdict was just,” Alexander recalls. She represented a young woman who was paralyzed from the neck down after she hit a tree while riding in Yosemite National Park on a rented bike with nonworking brakes. She argued the woman’s case and came away with a verdict of $13.3 million. In 2011, she defended a young man who had been paralyzed when he fell from a defective balcony, resulting in a $5.5 million settlement. “After they’ve endured such devastating tragedies, I can feel good knowing that I am part of a victory for my clients, one that will at least ensure some

security for their well-being in the future,” she says.

Beyond the demands of her

work, Alexander’s sense of

justice has translated into her

involvement in the community. As President-elect of the

Association of Trial Lawyers of America during 9/11, she

and other leaders in the legal community worked with

Congress to respond within

days of the tragedy to establish the Victims Compensation

Fund. Later, she established

bono work for thousands of people who had suffered losses during the terrorist attack.

It was the largest pro bono attorney project in the nation’s history.

Her leadership has not gone unnoticed. Alexander

has won respect from clients and colleagues alike.

She was inducted into the Trial Lawyer Hall of Fame

this year by the California State Bar Litigation Section. She has also earned national recognition for her work.

She has served as President of the national Association

of Trial Lawyers of America (now American Association of Justice)—the largest plaintiffs bar organization in the world—and President of the Consumer Attorneys of

has been named one of the “Top 10 Trial Attorneys” by

Yet praise and settlements aren’t her motivation.

Helping her clients rebuild their lives, one-by-one, is.

“My true passion is to be a warrior for those who can’t

fight for themselves,” Alexander says. “Helping clients

who have been injured by no fault of their own is a feeling of reward like no other.”

to repay the bank, the amount shown on the receipt. even a ticket to your favorite concert or sporting event is a contract.

What to Look For

As a general rule, it’s a good idea to read over any contract or agreement wordfor-word. If you don’t understand something, They’re Everywhere There are all sorts of contracts and talk to an attorney about it before you sign it. agreements, some of them we make more than Here are some things to look out for in various once everyday. Signing a receipt after using kinds of contracts and agreements: Integration(orEntireAgreement)Clause: your credit or debit card is a good example. PAGE PROOF -- FOR APPROVAL includes the complete agreed upon terms The bank agrees to pay the seller, and you agree This ONLY between you and the person. What you sign is what you get, regardless of what you talked about before signing the contract. For example, say during negotiations for a cell phone contract the sale person tells you he’ll give 200 free minutes, but there’s nothing in the contract saying that. An integration clause in the contract makes that promise disappear and you lose the 200 free minutes. Liability Limitation or Waiver: This may work a couple of ways. For one, it may protect either a seller or a buyer if he breaks or breaches the contract. The clause may specify a dollar amount the person owes the other if the contract isn’t honored. It may also mean the limitation or complete waiver of any liability

Unparalleled Representation Oakland

if someone is hurt by the product or service covered by the contract. Arbitration Clause: Generally, this means that if you and the other side have a disagreement about the contract, you both have to let a neutral third party—an arbitrator—try to settle the matter before you may file a lawsuit. Force Majeure Clause: This is common in business contracts. It protects both sides from having to pay damages if either is unable to complete the contract because of an act of nature. For instance, if you agree to ship fresh produce to a buyer in another state but an earthquake makes the roads impassable, the buyer can’t hold you liable for damages for not delivering the produce. Assignment Clause: This is common in many contracts, such as leases, loans, and business contracts.The clause either bars (or lets) either side of the contract from transferring the contract to someone else.

Other Things

There are other things to pay attention to when signing or agreeing to something:  Make sure your sales receipt is accurate - don’t agree to overpay for what you bought or pay for something you didn’t ask for.  Check the details in your consumer contracts- know how long the contract is good for; what happens if you return the item or cancel the contract early; what, if anything, you have to do to activate the contract, etc.  Read credit card agreements. They’re loaded with information about when, how much, and how often you may charge, and fees.

Luke ellis: A Trial Lawyer’s Trial Lawyer

Major Personal Injury Verdicts and Settlements Have Earned Ellis a Starring Role in the Plaintiffs’ Bar

L

uke ellis, a partner at Gillin, Jacobson, ellis, Larsen & Lucey in orinda, Calif., is a trial lawyer’s trial lawyer. “He’s as good a lawyer as I’ve ever met in a 40-year career,” says Michael Ney of McNamara, Ney, Beatty, Slattery, Borges & Ambacher in Walnut Creek, a preeminent northern California defense attorney who now has a full-time dispute resolution and arbitration practice. “He is one of the smartest . . . one of the most prepared,” says Ney, who once tried a six-week jury trial with ellis. “Juries love him. They believe him.” Browne Greene of Greene, Broillet & Wheeler in Santa Monica, considered one of the best trial lawyers in the nation, co-counseled a case with ellis a few years ago, and says, “He is a super-star who doesn’t scream at you about himself. He is so humble in his life, but there is a luster to his reputation.” Greene serves with ellis as a sustaining member of the Consumer Attorneys of California. “He creates excitement wherever he goes,” says Greene. “What a privilege to be his friend, to work on cases with him, to see his commitment to clients.” It is ellis’ record of results that has earned him a starring role in the plaintiffs’ bar. He has one of the largest personal injury verdicts on record in Alameda County, and in 2009 had one of the top 100 verdicts in the nation. Almost 10 years ago, ellis helped 186 people obtain a $111.7 million settlement against Redding Medical Center for unnecessary cardiac operations performed at the Tenet Healthcare-owned facility. In 2002, ellis helped negotiate a $1 billion settlement against Sulzer Medica on behalf of 3,500 people who received replacement hip and knee implants that were defective. In another high-profile case, ellis obtained a $10.65 million settlement for the family of a pipeline worker killed in the Walnut Creek gas line explosion, and was appointed by the court as a lead plaintiffs’ counsel for the Judicial Council consolidated proceedings. In September 2011, ellis achieved an $11.7 million jury verdict for the family of a Good Samaritan who stopped on a poorly maintained road construction project to help an accident victim and was killed by another car that also slid on the gravel. This was the largest wrongful death verdict ever handed down in Contra Costa County, as well as the largest verdict against 22 San Francisco’s Top Rated Lawyers

Contra Costa County. The case also changed decades-old county road paving practices. ellis is motivated by ensuring that those who have been injured – or who have lost a loved one to a wrongful death – because of the careless or negligence of another get justice. Several years ago GJeL was approached to represent a poor Latino family from a small central valley town. The family lost a son, and a second son suffered catastrophic brain injuries, in a complex big-rig accident. The statute of limitations was about to run out and the evidence was long compromised. ellis was swamped, starting trial in another county and begged off the case. Managing Partner Andy Gillin asked ellis to meet with the family just one time and help assess the case. Moved by what he heard from the family, ellis took the case, busy or not. After dozens of depositions, numerous motions, and a pre-trial writ to the Court of Appeal, the case settled for multi-millions of dollars during the second week of trial. Plaintiff magazine called Gillin, Jacobson, ellis, Larsen & Lucey “one of the area’s top civil litigation firms” (April 2010). While each of GJeL’s partners has a justifiable claim to legal fame, ellis stands out. He is sought out by clients for his proficiency and creativity in trying cases and for his expertise in accident reconstruction. Federal and state court judges, fellow plaintiff attorneys, and defense lawyers alike routinely send him referrals for catastrophic injury cases from all over California. ellis picks and chooses his cases. He selects only those where he believes he can make a difference for both the individual and for their community. Like all the GJeL partners, ellis began his legal career as a public service attorney, defending those who could not afford representation. That mindset remains ellis’ guiding light. “It’s a tremendous calling to be able to champion a cause, obtain justice for those who deserve it and to heighten standards of corporate responsibility,” says ellis. And with that statement, he turns and goes back to work.

 Complete and accurate records may help you resolve your accident claims sooner rather than later. Any pieces of information you gather at the scene can help alleviate any legal issues that come up. Many insurance companies have created smartphone apps to help you record.

Get the names, addresses and telephone numbers of any witnesses so you know who to call if the accident needs to be investigated at any point. Don’t discuss the accident with other drivers or witnesses. If you admit liability, this may be used against you later. You also don’t want to start any arguments. Mentally note, and, as soon as possible, write down the facts surrounding the accident, such as the time, date, location of the accident and weather conditions. Some cell or smartphones are also recording devices  and are a good way to record anything you think is important. If the police have been called, stay at the scene of the accident until the responding officer says you can leave. Call your insurance agent and report the accident. Ask your agent about any time limits for filing a claim. If you plan on filing a claim, get the claims process started as soon as possible. Your insurance company will investigate the loss, take statements and inspect the damage to both vehicles in order to determine the merits of your claim. Call your attorney if you are injured or the damages are extensive. The  laws of each state may vary. Your attorney can explain the law to you and advise you of your legal rights and obligations. Your attorney can also help determine who was at fault and may help you get compensation for your property damage and any personal injuries you may have endured.

Reporting an Accident to Insurance Companies

Sometimes, drivers don’t want to report accidents to their insurance companies. You may be worried that your insurance rates will go up, so you plan on paying for the damages out of pocket. Just because the other driver opts to file a claim doesn’t mean you have to file one with your insurance company. It’s best to talk to your insurance agent and to your lawyer, though. If the other driver changes his mind and files a claim with his insurance company, it may be too late to file a claim with your insurance company.

COLLABORATIVE DIVORCE LAW

i

NCReASINGLY, DIVoRCING couples are using collaborative law in an effort to settle their differences in a positive, cooperative manner that resolves child custody issues, the division of assets, and alimony in a mutually agreeable manner. In a collaborative divorce, each spouse and their lawyers agree to stay out of court, freely share information and avoid taking advantages of any mistakes that might be made.

 Less time-consuming, as you can usually reach agreement and the legal proceeding can be finalized within a short time Collaborative law gives both spouses and their lawyers control of the proceedings, in contrast to a traditional divorce, where a judge controls the proceedings.

The Participation Agreement The participation agreement is a key feature of the collaborative divorce. This agreement, Advantages of Collaborative Law which is signed by both spouses and their lawyers, typically requires all parties to Collaborative divorce law is: agree that:  Generally less costly than litigation  All efforts will be made to negotiate  Focused on resolving issues  Less stressful, it generates fear a divorce PAGEasPROOF -- much FORless APPROVAL ONLYagreement without the need of having to going to court. and anxiety than court proceedings  If litigation is necessary, the colLLP laborative attorneys will withdraw M AT R I M O N I A L AT T O R N E Y S from the case and be replaced by divorce attorneys.  each member will agree to act with integrity in disclosing information and working to reach an agreement.

The Collaborative Process

one of the first steps in the collaborative process is to determine what assets or income each party has using a method known as “share and verify’’. You are asked to disclose information voluntarily and to verify it with documentation and tax returns. At what are known as joint sessions or four-way con-

ferences, both spouses and their collaborative lawyers (and sometimes other neutral professionals) meet to discuss the issues and seek ways to create or arrive at agreement. They brainstorm for any and all possible solutions. All parties focus on ways to resolve the problem, instead of seeing the other party as the problem and attacking each other. each spouse often starts seeing things more from their spouse’s point of view. When you reach a divorce agreement through collaborative law, one of the lawyers will draft legal documents that detail the agreements which have been reached. These legally binding documents are then submitted to the court for approval without having to go through a long court hearing.

What Happens If Settlement Can’t Be Reached?

If you can’t arrive at a settlement through the collaborative law approach, the collaborative lawyers withdraw from the case and each party will hire a divorce attorney to tackle the issues in court. That way, you’ll have had the best representation for each phase of the proceedings. Any person approaching a divorce situation should talk with a collaborative lawyer to get an assessment of his or her situation to see if it might be settled without litigation. The earlier this is done, the more chance there is for the other party to be oriented toward a settlement approach.

Questions for Your Attorney If you and your spouse both agree to engage in a collaborative divorce, your next step is to find a lawyer who is experienced in this field. As you interview attorneys, consider asking the following questions: 

Is my divorce suitable for using the collaborative process?



Do you have collaborative law experience?



Are you a member of any associations of collaborative lawyers?



How do you charge for your services?

Coming to Financial Terms You must provide the party responsible for your accident with information about your injuries, expenses, and your need for future treatment. evidence might include medical records, hospital bills, pay stubs, and witness statements. The defending side may ask for a medical examination by a doctor of its choosing. It may hire expert witnesses to disprove your version of the case. Your law yer can help you estimate how much money you might receive after a trial instead of accepting a settlement. Settlements may be paid in a lump sum or in periodic payments. A structured settlement involves buying financial products called annuities that pay a certain amount every month or year until the total is paid in full. This arrangement can reduce taxes but won’t allow you to buy a house or other expensive item because you’re getting smaller payments over time.

Questions for Your Attorney Before meeting with your attorney prepare yourself with questions such as: 

I have been at the wrong place at the wrong time more than once recently and was legitimately injured and filed claims. How will this be perceived by a judge or jury?
