The notice does not look like much. A single sheet describing a condition at your property or a citation for operating without a license, citing a section of the local code. Many recipients set it aside. The finished basement has been there since before they bought the house. The deck went up years ago. The crew has been doing this work the same way for fifteen years and nobody said anything. Then a second notice arrives with a court date on it. Or a title company flags an op

Employees are often asked to evaluate severance agreements while dealing with the immediate stress of losing a job. This situation makes it easy to focus on the payment without giving the release and other restrictions equal attention. W

Whether you are filing a lawsuit or have just been served with one, the first question most people ask is some version of the same thing: how long is this going to take, and what actually happens between now and the end? The honest answer is that litigation moves through a handful of distinct phases. Each phase has its own timeline and purpose. A case can take several months or, in many instances, several years to work through the court system. The specific rules and timeline

When a workplace dispute gets resolved through a settlement or severance agreement, most people focus on the number. What is the payment? What claims are being released? When does it take effect?
