Insurance companies are not necessarily on your side and will pay out as little as they can. This is when an experienced lawyer can help you get the full financial compensation you deserve.

People often turn to credit cards to finance such medical costs. Paying the exorbitant cost of getting treatment can quickly drain hard-earned savings.

Bankruptcy can help It is no wonder that medical debt ...

Every spring, the sun warms the great state of Alaska, thawing some of the packed snow and ice that became a mainstay over the long winter months. Almost like clockwork, temperatures climb, plants bloom, rivers thaw and tourists arrive.

One of the biggest challenges during divorce is determining child custody. In Georgia, judges typically encourage a custody plan that is in the best interests of the children and grants both parents visitation time. Judges also grant either sole custody or joint custody. If sole custody is granted, the non-custodial parent retains visitation rights but is not allowed to make significant legal decisions concerning items such as health care, religious upbringing or education. With joint custody, both parents share in the decision-making process regarding these critical ...
