Our LAW LOVER'S LOUNGEā¢ series addresses a general overview of some of the most important issues to the general public! I am attorney and I have owned a general practice law firm since 1998 in Texas, USA.
A general practice attorney is similar to a general practice physician in that they address issues that do not require a specialist. They provide a primary level of legal services for commonly occurring legal issues and make referrals to specialists for more complex issues (appeals of cases, rare facts, unusual issues, etc.). We call this series its title because we do love law! Seriously. This is a lounge because these are general discussions on general legal topic for public information purposes. There is no client relationship created between this show and Attorney Courtney E. Anderson, or The Law Offices of Courtney E. Anderson (Litigation-Mitigation.com). These disclaimers are very important. The content in these shows is for general educational purposes and is not the delivery of legal services. This episode, Part 2 of a 2 part episode, addresses the topic of, "I have been sued....by my credit card company, what do I do?!ā First, in Part 1, have you actually been sued? Or, have you been threatened to be sued in the future? A letter (even one from a law firm representing a credit card lender) is not a lawsuit. We address some of the basics of what a lawsuit is (filing court documents with court clerk) versus what it is not (phone calls, letters, threats to file a lawsuit in the future if the credit card balance is not paid). Secondly, in Part 2, we discuss what the general steps are [...] In our HELP! SITUATION SPOTLIGHTā¢ series, we shine the light on challenges that community members have shared with me. This episode is, āMy boss hates me, what do I do? How can I save my job?ā
Feeling like anyone hates you can be stressful! We immediately think,āI am awesome! How does anyone hate me?ā Yet, with the diversity of the human population there are going to be some people in life who just do not find us appealing. But, what do we do when the person who is not fond of us (okay, they hate us) is our boss? Will they be able to provide fair evaluations of your work? Will we be treated fairly and judged only on our work performance or will we be unable to succeed due to the boss making decisions solely on their personal hatred for us? It is illegal in many nations (including the US) for an employer to [...] This episode is part of our JOYFUL ART OF BUSINESSā¢ series wherein we explore how to combine the positive benefits of our professional endeavors (ābusinessā) with the overall positive emotional return on our efforts (ājoyā). The act of engaging in professional endeavors, in any capacity (i.e., as an employee, employer, entrepreneur, contractor, volunteer, paid, full time, part time, intermittently, etc.) is an expression of our ideas and creative talents (āartā). In this episode we are exploring the specific topic of, āI have to love myself before I can love anyone else! (BUT, how do I love myself if no one else does or ever has?)ā
It is a cliche that we have to love ourselves before we can love other people. Yet, are people loved at work? Yes. Look how people mourned when Steve Jobs died or President Kennedy (in 1963). Those were business people (in technology and in politics), yet they had people who felt affection and even love for them (through their work). How does a person who has never been loved (or who currently has no one who loves them) even know what āloveā is? How can a person give something to themselves that they do not have any examples of or experiences with in their personal lives? A business leader who has no patience is not able to give any to their team members. It is the same with love. A person is not able [...] Our LAW LOVER'S LOUNGEā¢ series addresses a general overview of some of the most important issues to the general public!

This episode addresses the topic of, āHow do I Hire a Criminal Defense Attorney?ā The phone rings in the middle of the night. Oh no, any call at this time is bringing bad news. Unfortunately, your friend/ relative/ etc. has been arrested and needs your help. You know what jail they are in but nothing else. How do you hire a criminal defense attorney to help them? In this episode we address the variety of outcomes of criminal cases in the USA. 1) Many cases are simply dismissed by the government. 2) Some are placed on hold (deferred) pending the successful [...] |
