Many partnership disputes could be prevented with proper legal planning. The most important step you can take to protect yourself in a partnership is to find an experienced business attorney and have them draft your partnership agreement. A carefully written partnership agreement can save you from a lot of headaches because it clearly spells out the rights and obligations of each partner. In many cases, you won’t have to resort to costly litigation that can tear a partnership apart if you’ve covered all your bases in your partnership agreement. Here are a few issues you should discuss with your business attorney when creating your partnership agreement: Your Responsibility for Partnership Debts Partners are personally responsible for the business debts of the partnership. If your partnership owes someone money, the creditor can come after your personal assets to satisfy the debt. What’s even more concerning is that you are jointly liable for all of the…

Nebbia Holds: Part 3 of 4
How Long Does It Usually Take To Get A Decision? Generally it happens right away. Once the court reviews the documents, generally a decision is made on the spot as to whether the financial records are legitimate or not. Oftentimes, the court may require additional proof and then usually an experienced criminal defense attorney like Blake & Dorsten will get a quick reset. Obviously time is of the essence because the client is in jail and unable to bond out so we generally like to get a reset within a few days, oftentimes less than a week. Once the hold is removed the client can bond out right away, usually within a few hours. Can Someone Handle A Nebbia Hold By Themselves In Court?

The Legal Profession Enabling Rape, Part II
In this entry, I took issue with lawyers who write non-disclosure agreements (NDA's) to furnish to clients for the purpose of helping them muzzle women they have sexually abused or, sometimes, outright raped. The Harvey Weinstein scandal was the occasion for that entry.Things have gotten worse. Yesterday, the New York Times ran a story about a previously very highly regarded lawyer, David Boies, who -- to translate the somewhat opaque language in which the story is written -- hired a "private investigative firm" to dig up dirt on one of Weinstein's numerous victims in order to bludgeon her into silence.The reason the Times is angry about this, as it full well has a right to be, is that Boies was trying to prevent the Times, which was at the time also a client of his, from getting what would have been a fantastic scoop. The Times is correct in viewing this as a betrayal.But to my way of thinking, there is something…

9 Moving Moments from Double Freedom Day of Eric Kelley and Ralph Lee in New Jersey
Eric Kelley and Ralph Lee have been waiting 24 years for their freedom. In September, a New Jersey Court vacated their convictions for a 1993 felony murder and robbery based on DNA evidence identifying another suspect. After the court set a bail that the two men could make, the prosecution appealed their release and they waited, once again, to walk out of prison. On November 8th, the New Jersey Supreme Court rejected the prosecution’s arguments, allowing the men to post bail. They are now free while the appeal proceeds through the courts. Yesterday they finally celebrated the momentous occasion with friends, family, and their attorneys, Vanessa Potkin of the Innocence Project and Paul Casteleiro of Centurion. Related: The Kelley family has set up a fundraising page for Eric Here are some highlights of their remarkable day: 1) Wearing his prison jumpsuit for the last time, Eric holds his grandson for the first time: 2) Eric Kelley and…

A Fifty-Year Fight For Exoneration In New York City
Fifty-years ago Sam Sommer was ‘kidnapped.’ At least that’s how he puts it today. Sommer was standing outside a Dunkin’ Donut store on Long Island when he claims, he was beaten, arrested and convicted of the 1968 murder of his wife’s uncle and business partner — Irving Silver. Sommer spent two-decades in prison. During those years — and the years afterward, he has consistently alleged he was framed by police and prosecutors. Wrongful conviction claims are not unusual. Sommer’s does stand out for longevity and tenaciousness. Sommer has been fighting his conviction in the courts for decades and is hoping for exoneration before dying. During his struggle, he has gained the support of judges and pro bono lawyers — but he has never found his success in the courtrooms of New York City. Sommer may be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Following the filing of a freedom of information act, Sommer was given access to his files…

The Cost of a DWI Arrest
Today, I spoke with a client that suffers from multiple sclerosis (MS) and is charged with DWI or driving while intoxicated. For those of you who don’t know what multiple sclerosis is, MS is a disabling disease of the central nervous system which consists of your brain and spinal cord. The disease attacks the protective covering around your nerve fibers. Think of the plastic covering on copper wire. The comparable covering on your nerves is called myelin. MS attacks the myelin and causes communication problems between your central nervous system and the rest of your body. The damage can become so severe that a patient can have problems walking and later may not be able to walk at all. Is this the first client I have had that has been charged with DWI when they have not been drinking? No. I’ve had multiple clients charged with driving while intoxicated when they are suffering from a disease of the nervous system…

One of the men was linked to an 18-year-old student’s nonfatal overdose that occurred inside the classroom of an unspecified New York high school. Investigators identified Kevin Staiano, 18, as the individual who sold drugs to the overdose victim.

A primer for police union leaders on making "the guilty innocent" after a high-profile incident
In the October episode of the Just Liberty's Reasonably Suspicious podcast, we included a segment analyzing Chapter 11 of a new book on police-union politics called "Law Enforcement, Police Unions, and the Future," coauthored by Ron DeLord, formerly of the Combined Law Enforcement Associations of Texas. That chapter is titled, "What every union leader should know about dealing with the media in a high profile incident," and opens with this quote from Malcolm X: "The media's the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and the guilty innocent, and that's power, because they control the minds of the masses."My colleague Sukyi McMahon added a little slideshow to the excerpted segment to jazz it up a bit.

New Jersey Volunteer Santa Arrested on Drug Charges
A Pompton Lakes man who volunteers as a Santa Claus impersonator was pulled over while driving on Monday and arrested for alleged drug charges. Charles R. Smith, a retired New Jersey Transit worker, currently does volunteer work dressing as Santa Claus for the Toys for Tots Foundation. He had been driving down Route 46 around 2:00 in the morning on Monday when South Hackensack police pulled him over for a routine traffic stop. Smith stated that he was on his way to a nearby motel at the time.
