Free Speech and Spending Billions on Politics
The United States Supreme Court seems to be taking every opportunity these days to dodge the intent of the law. A few weeks ago, the justices helped corporations funnel unrestricted moneys straight to campaign coffers by striking down provisions within the Campaign Finance Reform Act.

Americans who see the impact of these decisions are shaking their heads right back at them.
Treble Damages from the Criminal Code?
We had a client come in the other day who wanted to know if we would think about a contingency case related to theft and fraudulent transfer of a motor vehicle.
