ORLANDO, FL, July 21, 2012 (Press-News.org) Orlando criminal defense attorney Zahra Umansky of the Umansky Law Firm was successfully able to get the charges against her client dropped in a burglary of dwelling case. Burglary of dwelling charges, which are levied against an individual who allegedly breaks into another person's house, carry serious criminal consequences including a mandatory prison sentence.
"Even first time offenders will receive a mandatory prison sentence if convicted of burglary of dwelling charges," said Ms. Umansky. "Therefore, it is important to have an attorney who is prepared to present your defense and go to trial. In this instance, we were able to get a great result for a client facing mandatory prison time."
According to the facts reported in the Seminole County Court records, Ms. Umansky's client allegedly broke into someone else's house and stole some property. The state claimed they had a fingerprint of the client on a window outside the house. The fingerprint was the crucial piece of evidence against Ms. Umansky's client.
During her pretrial preparation, Ms. Umansky researched fingerprint analysis technology documents in order to more effectively cross examine the prosecution's expert witnesses. Her research showed that it is possible for human error in fingerprint analysis to yield inaccurate results. On the morning of the trial, the prosecutor dropped the charges upon discovering that Ms. Umansky planned to challenge the fingerprint evidence.

Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome: The Relatively Unknown Chronic Pain

However, it most commonly targets an arm or leg. Relatively rare and not well understood by doctors, CRPS, according to the Mayo Clinic, involves pain that "is out of proportion to the severity" to the injury or event that is believed to have triggered the condition.

Basics of Expungements in Minnesota
Life is certainly tough enough, but it is considerably more difficult when you have a criminal record. Employers may choose not to hire you, rental agencies may not offer you a place to live, and insurers may consider you to be an unacceptable risk. While prior decisions are not reliable indicators of future behavior, many people still see trouble in a criminal record. Nevertheless, you should be able to move on with life after you have paid your debt to society. Because of this, Minnesota law allows some criminal records to be expunged.

Colorado Supreme Court Upholds Wal-Mart Work Accident Damages Award
An injury to a worker triggers a range of legal concerns, from whether workers' compensation coverage will provide sufficient benefits to whether someone other than the employer can be sued. For instance, when an employee is injured in a truck accident that was caused by another driver who is not a co-employee, motor vehicle liability insurance coverage can provide additional to workers' compensation. This is known as third-party liability.
As with other personal injury cases, workers injured on the ...

Turkey: Province of Prominence
2012-07-21
In these hard economic times, every property market is suffering, more so the ones within the European Union Zone. Disregarding Germany's genius economy for a moment, it seems every economy within Europe is suffering terribly, the property markets faulting along with them. Property prices have continued to increase rapidly to a level where regular members of society are unable to afford a single house, let alone a second apartment or a summer villa on the shores of an internationally stable, migratable and even visitable country.
Turkey, however, doesn't hold to the ...
