This Day in Legal History: Nevada Joins the Union by TelegraphOn October 31, 1864, Nevada was admitted as the 36th state of the United States, a remarkable feat as the entire Nevada state constitution was sent to Washington, D.C. by telegraph. This move, a workaround to secure swift approval, resulted in the longest and most costly telegram of its time, spanning over 16,000 words. Nevada's expedited entry into the Union was driven by urgent political motivations: President Abraham Lincoln, up for re-election, sought the state's support for his war policies and for the proposed 13th Amendment, which aimed to abolish slavery nationwide. The telegram cost nearly $4,000, a vast sum at the time, equivalent to over $65,000 today, underscoring the importance of Nevada's statehood in the context of the Civil War and the Union's priorities.Nevadans had moved quickly to draft their constitution, striving to meet the requirements for statehood by the October deadline. Officials feared delays from the traditional route of sending documents by train or stagecoach, so they opted for the more reliable telegraph, despite the high expense. On the eve of Lincoln's re-election campaign, Nevada's admission helped solidify the Union's stance and reflected Lincoln's strategy to add states sympathetic to his policies. With the telegraphed constitution, Nevada became a “battle-born” state, joining the Union at a time when its allegiance to the Union cause was invaluable. The U.S. Supreme Court recently allowed Virginia to remove around 1,600 voters from its rolls just before an election, stirring criticism from voting rights advocates who called it a misuse of the shadow docket. The decision stayed lower court rulings that found Virginia's policy violated federal law by not respecting a required 90-day "quiet period" before elections, during which systematic voter removals are prohibited. Although the court's conservative majority approved the purge, neither the majority nor dissenting justices explained their reasoning, leaving observers unclear if the decision was based on a legal disagreement or if it was influenced by the Purcell principle, which discourages election-related changes close to voting.The case stemmed from an August executive order by Governor Glenn Youngkin mandating daily voter roll updates based on DMV citizenship data, shifting from a monthly process. Lower courts had sided with the Biden administration and voting groups in blocking this purge, but the Supreme Court's quick, unexplained intervention left little clarity. Critics argue that such opaque, rapid rulings—typical of the shadow docket—are problematic, as they provide no legal guidance and can cause voter confusion, particularly given that such actions seem to contradict the Purcell principle, meant to avoid last-minute electoral disruptions.Justices Cause Confusion With No Voting Purge Ruling ExplanationThe Trump campaign filed a lawsuit against Bucks County, Pennsylvania, alleging that election officials turned away voters attempting to request mail-in ballots. According to claims circulated by Trump supporters on social media, some voters left empty-handed after waiting in long lines. County officials attributed the issues to a "miscommunication" and said that people briefly were told they couldn't be accommodated. Pennsylvania Judge Jeffrey G. Trauger granted a preliminary injunction extending the deadline to apply for a mail-in ballot to November 1, finding that the county's actions violated the state's election code.In Pennsylvania, there is no early in-person voting, but voters can apply for mail-in ballots in person, which led to long lines at Bucks County application sites. The lawsuit, supported by the Republican National Committee, the Pennsylvania GOP, and Senate candidate David McCormick, is part of broader efforts in the key battleground state, where polls show close competition between Trump and Kamala Harris. County officials clarified that voters in line by 5 p.m. would be accommodated and assured voters they could pick up their mail-in ballots later in the week if needed.Trump Campaign Sues in Philly Suburb Over Mail-In Ballots (1)Elon Musk has been summoned to a Pennsylvania court regarding Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner's attempt to halt Musk's $1 million-a-day giveaway aimed at registered voters in swing states before the November 5 U.S. election. The giveaway, backed by Musk and America PAC, offers cash to randomly selected individuals who sign a petition supporting free speech and gun rights, as long as they are registered voters in key states like Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Wisconsin. Krasner's lawsuit claims the program constitutes an “illegal lottery” unauthorized by the state and suggests it violates consumer protection laws by allegedly misrepresenting the rules.The legal challenge, set to be addressed by Judge Angelo Foglietta, focuses on state law violations, though legal experts note potential federal implications if the initiative is seen as incentivizing voter registration or influence. Although the U.S. Department of Justice warned Musk's group about possible federal issues, no federal charges have been filed. The initiative has become a major component of Trump's campaign, with Musk providing significant financial backing and voicing public support for the former president.Musk due in court as $1 million voter giveaway faces courtroom test | ReutersA new lawsuit reveals tensions over legal fee-sharing following a massive $5.6 billion settlement in an antitrust case against Visa and MasterCard over credit card swipe fees. Scott + Scott, a law firm involved in the case, is suing co-counsel Robins Kaplan for allegedly reneging on an agreement to pay Scott + Scott $5 million from its share of the settlement fees, ensuring the firm would receive $20 million. This dispute stems from a 2015 informal fee-sharing agreement tied to another case where Robins Kaplan received $50 million in fees.Last year, the 2nd Circuit upheld the $523.2 million attorney fees in the Visa-MasterCard case, allocated to several law firms involved. However, Scott + Scott claims it was only allocated $15 million by Robbins Geller and that Robins Kaplan is now refusing to pay the agreed $5 million difference. The case highlights how class action firms sometimes rely on informal agreements to share fees, which are typically not disclosed. Legal experts note that courts prefer to avoid such disputes after approving settlements and fees. Additionally, Scott + Scott's lawsuit may be complicated by the involvement of Patrick Coughlin, an antitrust lawyer who previously worked with Robbins Geller but later joined Scott + Scott.Legal Fee Tracker: Lawsuit reveals fight over awards after $5.6 bln 'swipe fees' settlement | Reuters This is a public episode.

Slam the Gavel welcomes back Carmela Martinez to the podcast. Carmela was last on September 30th, 2023, Season 5, Episode 6. Carmela updated us with her current case on July 12th, 2024, in front of the Child Support Magistrate, to determine if the child support could be dropped. Carmela had to submit her financial affidavit, but in the past her ex never submitted one. Only on the day of the Child Support hearing did her attorney get his financial affidavit, where it stated that he makes $500,000.00 but is writing off $400,000.00. So in the eyes of the court she makes more than him working in retail at $20/per hour. Her youngest son had over 96 missing school days, the judge didn't bat an eye. Her child support was lowered to $800.00/per month but her vengeful ex-husband NOW wants Attorney Fees. Carmela is paying her rent on credit cards. The financial abuse continues. "How are these children supposed to get on with their lives when a major role model has been taken out of their life and has been poisoned them against them?" Carmela asks.

This Day in Legal History: “Starve or Sell”On August 15, 1876, the U.S. Congress passed a "starve or sell" bill, a genocidal piece of legislation aimed at coercing the Sioux Nation into surrendering their sacred Black Hills. The bill was passed just two months after the Battle of Little Bighorn, where Sioux and Cheyenne warriors achieved a significant victory against General George Custer's forces. The Black Hills had become a target for American expansion after Custer's 1874 expedition discovered gold there, sparking a rush of settlers. Rather than respecting existing treaties, which guaranteed the Black Hills to the Sioux, Congress chose to use starvation as a tool of negotiation. The bill stipulated that no further appropriations for the Sioux's subsistence would be made unless they relinquished the Black Hills, leaving the Sioux with little choice but to sign away their land. This event is a dark chapter in American history, reflecting the broader pattern of exploitation and broken promises that characterized the United States' treatment of Native American tribes. The "starve or sell" bill stands as a stark reminder of the lengths to which the government would go to seize indigenous lands.The FTC has issued its Final Rule on fake reviews, following a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in July 2023. The Rule targets unfair or deceptive practices in consumer reviews, such as fake reviews, undisclosed company insiders writing reviews, and the sale of fake social media influence. Key provisions include prohibiting businesses from buying reviews that express a particular sentiment and requiring clear and conspicuous disclosures in reviews. The Rule also addresses review suppression, ensuring that businesses cannot hide negative reviews through intimidation or selective publication. Notably, the Final Rule excludes a proposed prohibition on "review hijacking," where existing reviews are repurposed for different products. Violations of the Rule could result in significant civil penalties, underscoring the importance of compliance for businesses that rely on customer reviews. The Rule will go into effect 60 days after its publication in the Federal Register. The complex and fact-specific nature of the Rule means businesses must carefully assess their practices to avoid potential penalties.End of “Fake Reviews”? — FTC Issues the Final RuleThe Biden administration announced that the U.S. government's first drug price negotiations under the Inflation Reduction Act will save Americans $7.5 billion in 2026. These savings will benefit senior citizens, who will see $1.5 billion less in out-of-pocket costs for ten key medications, and the government, which will reduce its Medicare spending by $6 billion. The policy, long sought by Democrats, allows Medicare to use its purchasing power to negotiate lower drug prices, a move that could cut the federal deficit by $237 billion over a decade. The newly negotiated prices are expected to be made public by September 1, and the policy will initially affect ten drugs, including treatments for diabetes and heart conditions. While the pharmaceutical industry has opposed the policy, claiming it effectively lets the government set prices, the administration views it as a historic step toward lowering healthcare costs.US Drug Price Negotiations Cut Costs $7.5 Billion in First YearThe Delaware Supreme Court upheld a $267 million fee award for attorneys who secured a $1 billion settlement with Dell Technologies Inc., reinforcing Delaware's precedent of substantial payouts in high-risk corporate litigation. Chief Justice Collins J. Seitz Jr., writing for the court, affirmed that the Chancery Court acted within its discretion, emphasizing that the case was complex and contentious, involving nearly 100 defense lawyers. This decision, which aligns with Delaware's long-standing multi-factor approach to fee awards, rejects Pentwater Capital Management LP's challenge for a lower fee based on federal court standards. The ruling underscores Delaware's reluctance to adopt rigid rules for fee awards, maintaining the court's discretion to consider case-specific factors like complexity, attorney experience, and the risk of non-payment. The decision comes as Tesla faces similar large fee requests in ongoing litigation, raising concerns about public perception of such massive legal fees. The court acknowledged that while these fees are intended to motivate attorneys to take on challenging cases, there is a risk they could be seen as excessive.Big Lawyer Paydays in Risky Cases Affirmed by Delaware Court (2)A U.S. judge signaled plans to issue an order requiring Google to give Android users more options for downloading apps, following a jury's finding that Google monopolized app distribution on its platform. Judge James Donato expressed frustration with Google's resistance to implementing reforms proposed by Epic Games, which sued Google for stifling competition. Donato indicated that his ruling will prioritize user and developer flexibility outside the Google Play store, aiming to open up the market after years of Google's dominance. He also mentioned setting up a compliance committee to oversee the changes. Despite Google's concerns about the impact on competition and security, Donato emphasized that Google must pay the price for its monopolistic behavior. This case adds to Google's legal challenges, as it also faces a separate government lawsuit over its search engine practices.US judge says 'monopolist' Google can't avoid app store reforms | ReutersChevron Corp has agreed to pay $550 million to the city of Richmond, California, over a decade as part of a settlement that led the city to drop a proposed tax on Chevron's local refinery. The settlement, approved by the Richmond City Council, will be paid in annual installments from July 2025 to June 2035. Richmond had planned to seek voter approval for a tax on the refinery, arguing that Chevron should contribute more to the community where it has operated for over a century. The settlement avoids the need for a ballot measure and resolves the dispute.Chevron to pay $550 million settlement to Richmond, California | ReutersCipher ChallengeIn the world of finance and taxation, certain phrases hold the key to understanding foundational concepts that impact us all.

Is legal representation in the U.S. only for the rich and corporations? That's a question that we'll explore in this episode of Stanford Legal with guests David and Nora Freeman Engstrom, two leading authorities on access to justice and the legal profession. They'll explain the roots of the challenge, how unauthorized practice of law rules contribute to the problem, and how to address them. The Engstroms co-direct Stanford Law School's Deborah L. Rhode Center on the Legal Profession, an academic center working to shape the future of legal services and access to the legal system. This episode delves into some alarming statistics, including the fact that in three-quarters of civil cases in state courts, at least one party is without a lawyer. This alone often leads to unjust outcomes in cases involving debt collection, evictions, family law, and other areas. And that is just part of the problem, as the Engstroms explain.

This section provides an overview of the access to justice crisis, highlighting the high percentage of cases where individuals lack legal representation and a look at the types of cases predominantly at issue, including debt collection, evictions, mortgage foreclosures, and family law cases.Chapter 2: Understanding the Consequences and Causes of Legal Inaccessibility(00:7:06) David and Nora Freeman Engstrom explore the broader implications of the lack of legal representation, including the cascade of related legal and financial issues that arise from initial problems like wage garnishment and eviction. They also touch on the hidden legal issues that never make it to court due to individuals' inability to seek legal help.Chapter 3: Exploring Solutions and Technological Impacts on Access to Justice(00:10:07) David and Nora Freeman Engstrom delve into potential solutions to the access to justice crisis, including the role of technology in both exacerbating and potentially alleviating the problem. They discuss the efficiency of technological tools used by the debt collection industry and the implications for legal access.Chapter 4: The Technology Asymmetry in Debt Collection(00:14:19 ) Pam Karlan and David Freeman Engstrom discuss how debt collectors use automation to exploit legal processes against unrepresented individuals. They highlight the stark disparity between technological access for debt collectors and individual defendants. Engstrom points out the restrictive rules that limit software-driven legal services, exacerbating the access to justice crisis.Chapter 5: The Historical Context and Current Restrictions on Legal Services(00:15:55) Nora Freeman Engstrom delves into the history of legal service restrictions in the U.S., contrasting it with medical professions. She introduces her research on auto clubs and their provision of legal services in the early 20th century, showing how organized bar associations shut down these alternatives to preserve their monopoly.Chapter 6: Modern Innovations and Future Prospects in Legal Services(00:24:13) The host and guests discuss recent efforts to relax unauthorized practice of law rules in states like Utah and Arizona. They explore innovative legal service models emerging from these reforms, including tiered services and AI-driven solutions, and their potential to democratize access to legal assistance. The discussion highlights how entities like LegalZoom are now able to hire lawyers and provide more comprehensive services. They also touch on the potential of generative AI to bridge the gap between legal jargon and plain language, making legal assistance more accessible to the public. The chapter concludes with reflections on the promise and challenges of these technological advancements.

Episode #3.2: The Heart of Law With Attorney Ed Bell Are you ready to uncover the truth behind one of the most significant and complex cases of our time? Join our intrepid host, Mirena Umizaj, in a powerful and poignant episode of The Heart of Law, as she invites Attorney Ed Bell, the founder and senior partner at Bell Legal Group, to explore the unwavering dedication of Attorney Ed Bell and his team to pass the Camp Lejeune Justice Act and provide justice for the hundreds of thousands of victims impacted by the catastrophic contamination that occurred at Camp Lejeune. With a career spanning over 30 years, Attorney Ed Bell is widely regarded as one of the best trial lawyers in the country today. But what sets him apart from the rest? Well, according to Mirena Umizaj, he's a "unicorn" in the legal world! Not only is he a top civil litigator in complex litigation, but he's also a successful business owner, entrepreneur, and philanthropist. And it's not just his impressive credentials that make him stand out. Attorney Ed Bell's unwavering commitment to seeking justice and advocating for his clients is truly remarkable, as evidenced by his tireless efforts in the Camp Lejeune water contamination case spanning over a decade and a half. As Mirena and Attorney Ed Bell delve deeper into the intricate details of the case, their conversation takes on a sense of urgency, punctuated by the gravity of the recent developments and hearing that served as a stark reminder that time is of the essence. Navigating through the complexities of this case is no small feat, as the overwhelming volume of claims creates a formidable challenge for the government to manage effectively. Sensing the court's ardent desire to fast-track the proceedings, Attorney Ed Bell ingeniously proposes the implementation of bellwether trials–an innovative approach that not only expedites the legal process but also provides both sides with a valuable opportunity to test their theories, present their arguments, and ultimately determine the value of the case at hand. As Attorney Ed Bell passionately explains, "I haven't had a client yet ask me what their case is worth; they don't care. That's not their goal. Their goal is to have somebody say, 'Why did you kill my children?'" Thus, the heart-wrenching pursuit for justice and understanding, driven by grief and anguish, takes precedence over monetary value for these clients. This case has left a lasting impression on many, including Mirena, who had her own transformative "Erin Brockovich moment" upon hearing the story. The profound resonance of the case has transcended personal connections, permeating influential circles and capturing the attention of notable figures, including President Joe Biden, Congressman Greg Murphy, and other prominent individuals who have played pivotal roles in advancing the associated bill. With a relentless determination to uncover the truth, Attorney Ed Bell has taken the initiative to create an epidemiological model as a supplement to the ATSDr study, while also spearheading the establishment of a remarkable call center staffed by veterans and their families. Attorney Ed Bell's journey and passion for justice is truly remarkable. From his love for cooking to his discovery of law, his tenacity and dedication to his clients and the legal industry is truly inspiring. With the help of his law school interns and a team of compassionate professionals, Attorney Ed Bell continues to lead the charge for justice in the Camp Lejeune lawsuit. His message to the legal industry is clear - let's prioritize our clients and strive to do what's right. With Attorney Bell leading the way, there's hope for a brighter future where justice prevails.

"I hope at the end of this case we won't sit back and talk about the money; we'll talk about the people we helped and maybe give a new direction to how people in America have the right to utilize the justice system. What I hope though is that the community as a whole, our body of politics, our local folks should remember the reason why our founders founded the judicial system is so that citizens could fuss with each other without killing each other." "I think those of us who believe passionately in something, no matter whether it's cooking or law or husbandry or animals, whatever, there are some people that have this driving passion that makes them strive for excellence. I think I try to have some of that. Every now and then, I feel it. Sometimes I don't. I have to go looking for it. But I think it's part of any successful attorney... It's just a different passion for what you're doing." "I haven't had a client yet ask me what their case is worth; they don't care. That's not their goal. Their goal is to have somebody say, 'Why did you kill my children?'" "We have so many families that have lost all of their family members that were at Camp Lagoon, and you can see the pattern: they lived in the worst location. And most of these people have the worst diagnosis. When you multiply that risk of having cancer hundreds of times, then you've created something in these families that is unbearable. They want to know why, why the government did it, and why they're able to get away with it." "We had to figure out a way to get these folks their ability to find justice, and that's what we did. When we got kicked out of court, I had a meeting with a bunch of our clients, and in the middle of the meeting, I said, 'Don't worry, we're going to do something. I'll take care of it.'" "I think those families that I got to know for the 15 years we've been working on this case are the things that inspired me to kind of get us where we are today." "I think the Court's going to be happy with the attorneys that are there. I think the Court's going to see our passion and those folks that are representing these victims and families. If we watch out for them as our clients and keep that as our focus, I think this will be successful." "My job is not necessarily to just protect the easy cases but to protect those people who otherwise wouldn't have a voice." "One of the things we didn't expect was that this was a very satisfying project we had. But not realizing the impact that it would have on us as a law firm, that's when I reached out to your group and said, 'Look, I'm a pretty good lawyer, and I need somebody to give me some help and some advice,' and your group has come in and helped us tremendously in our growth and in our management of certain things." "I have not agreed with every jury verdict in my life, but I've always respected that verdict and kind of understood why sometimes I didn't get the result that I wanted. But having that respect for the system, I hope we can instill that among the people we represent so that they don't feel like the government can just take over their lives and do anything they want to them." "We've just kept our heads down and we just kept plotting away doing what's right, and everybody worries about what the Court's going to do. I'm not worried at all what the Court's going to do, they're going to do it, and we just need to go along with what's getting ready to happen." "Some of these non-lawyer advertising groups have given lawyers a bad name. A lot of them are lies and that hurts all of us. A lot of Marines and Marine families don't trust them and have not wanted to go forward because of this. I would urge them not to throw the baby out with the bathwater. There are a lot of good lawyers that would be willing to take their case and be able to help them" “I believe the proof is in the pudding. We are good litigators, we know how to manage cases, we know how to put them together. All we're doing is doing more of them. It means something to me when some of the top lawyers in the country asked me to help them on these cases." "I'm eternally grateful to my clients for trusting us to do what we're doing… we will not let them down. My message to the legal industry is let's do this right, let's let this be an example to other cases of how to do it. I think we can, I think we can do it right if we keep client focus as our number one goal. Then things will work out."

Slam the Gavel welcomes new guest, Laurie Bateman to the podcast. Laurie spoke out about the TRUTH and that is that her MOTHER was a victim of People, Agencies and Predatory Attorneys that SHOULD have SAVED her. The unelected Judicial Officer had put a protective order surrounding her Mother's "Medical Records" that she is not to "share them," and she fully believed her wording was directed toward the ACTUAL records. The Trustee's Attorney tried to get her to sign a gag order as part of a settlement, which of course Laurie did NOT "settle". Other than physically "sharing" her Mother's Medical records, Laurie is not gagged. Laurie can speak freely about the experience which is still ongoing, of course due to money to be made by Attorneys. BEWARE. There is so much to this story, so sit down and listen. The involvement of some of Laurie's siblings in this saga is VERY important, but is no different than if a third party did this to her own mother. But due to the "lens cover" of a "family squabble" to be used as an excuse by agencies, attorneys, doctors, mandatory reporters, etc., Laurie's Mother is a victim of the very "safety net" that should have saved her. To the State of Arizona and all the shameful individuals that participated in this expensive charade, it has been life altering for her Mother. Had ONE, just ONE person done their job to protect her, the last 6 years would not have happened. She had a "Rock Solid" TRUST that was supposed to prevent what happened and she was never supposed to be in Probate Court, but the "TRUSTEE" filed a Petition in June of 2021 to Prevent her from being sued or charged on any of the "offenses or breeches" that she had committed due to "time-barring". Laurie and another "noticed" that a sibling objected to the 600 pages (intended to inflict emotional distress and harassment so that they would not respond). Laurie used to work as a Paralegal for a Probate Lawyer and what she saw then, in 2007-2008 was horrifying and some of the problems were in exposed by the local media and by CBS national news. Laurie thought things had changed after that, but it remains "status quo" today. No one represents "the Ward".

Florida property insurance companies, their policyholders, and repair contractors are starting the New Year with a new law designed to reform an out-of-control marketplace. The Florida Legislature in December passed comprehensive measures to stem high insurance and reinsurance rates, carrier insolvencies, inflated claims, excessive litigation, and an overly-competitive residual market.Former Florida Deputy Insurance Commissioner Lisa Miller talks with Citizens Property Insurance President & CEO Barry Gilway, insurance agency executive Andy McGuire, and reinsurance broker Adam Schwebach about the new law and the expectation it will help rebalance Florida's decimated property insurance market.Show NotesHost Miller was joined in the podcast by Barry Gilway, President, CEO, and Executive Director of Citizens Property Insurance; Adam Schwebach, Executive Vice President of reinsurance broker Gallagher Re; and Andy McGuire, Co-CEO of PEAK6 InsurTech, which includes an insurance agency representing more than 100,000 policyholders. (For full Show Notes, visit https://lisamillerassociates.com/episode-42-barry-gilway-floridas-new-law-is-a-profound-change/) The major provisions of the new law (SB 2-A) cover:Attorney Fees: Ends one-way attorney fees in residential and commercial property insurance policy lawsuits;Offers of Judgment: Reinstates the civil offer of judgment statute (also known as Proposals for Settlement) and makes attorney fees available for the prevailing party, while also allowing for joint offers of judgment;AOBS: Prohibits Assignment of Benefits (AOB) contracts of residential and commercial property insurance policies issued on or after January 1, 2023;Bad Faith: Prohibits the filing of a bad faith lawsuit until a final judgement is issued against the insurance company in the original claim dispute;Citizens Property Insurance Reforms: Makes many essential improvements to current laws governing the state-backed “insurer of last resort,” Citizens Property Insurance Corporation, including:- Changing the eligibility to remain a Citizens policyholder, by requiring that private insurance company coverage has to be 20% more expensive (up from 15%, to match current rules on new policies) and likewise for commercial residential policies;- Ending capped rates (the so-called “glide-path”) and requiring its rates be actuarially-sound and be “non-competitive” with admitted companies' market rates;- Defining and allowing higher rates for second (non-homesteaded) homes; and- Requiring personal lines policyholders purchase flood insurance to become or remain a Citizens policyholder.Reinsurance: Establishes a second optional hurricane reinsurance fund (The Florida Optional Reinsurance Assistance Program) for carriers, offering rates of 50% to 65% of the cost of on-line rates, while maintaining the Reinsurance to Assist Policyholders (RAP) program created in the May special session;Arbitration: Allows carriers to offer mandatory binding arbitration in their policies with a resulting premium discount;Claims Handling: Reduces from 90 days to 60 days the time insurance companies have to pay or deny a claim, unless extended by regulators; and reduce from 14 days to 7 days the time a carrier has to review and acknowledge a claim communication and begin an investigation, along with other time requirement changes;Claim Filing: Further tightens deadlines for policyholders to report a claim from 2 years to 1 year for a new or reopened claim, and from 3 years to 18 months for a supplemental claim; andGreater OIR Regulation: Allows the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation (OIR) to withdraw approval of policies with an appraisal clause for companies that routinely invoke it; allows OIR to do market conduct exams after a hurricane on those companies in the top 20% of claims filed or DFS complaints and to include an examination of their MGAs; and requires companies begin monthly reporting of the numbers of claims opened, closed, pending, and those seeking alternative dispute resolution and of which type.You can read a more detailed list of major provisions here of the December 2022 law, built upon previous measures passed in the May 2022 legislative special session.Attorney Fees & AOBs: Gilway, a 46-year veteran of the property insurance industry, called the law “historic,” for repealing the state's one-way attorney fee statute which he blamed for putting seven insurance companies out of business in 2022, reducing the availability and affordable of insurance for consumers. “From a Citizens Insurance standpoint, our average litigation payment is $77,000 and the attorney fee associated with that payment is $39,000. I'm paying more than 1,000 attorneys to defend the 20,000 outstanding lawsuits we have, brought because there's an automatic payment under the one-way statute. You have to admit (the new law) is going to make a profound change in whether an attorney brings a suit or not.” According to the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation, Florida has 7% of the nation's homeowners insurance claims yet 76% of the nation's homeowners insurance lawsuits. The new law also eliminates AOBs, which Gilway said are responsible for 47% of all Citizens litigation and 35% of the industry litigation. “These two provisions alone I think will have a profound impact on the industry's claims going forward,” said Gilway. He predicted this will draw capital back into the marketplace. “The bottom line is more and more calls every single day from investors saying how do I get in, because on a going forward basis, if I can leave the development of losses behind, and I can charge rates that that are based upon historic litigation rates, when the litigation rate is going to drop like a rock, then it's time for me to enter this marketplace.” Gilway said he believes it will take 12-18 months for the law's changes to impact the market.McGuire, whose business includes capital management and consulting, said that although he's excited and proud of the legislature's success, he's still “a little worried,” too. “With the cost of capital where it is right now, I'm still a little bit on the fence to see how things kind of wash through especially on the reinsurance side,” McGuire said, in sentiments echoed by Schwebach, a reinsurance broker for almost 20 years. “There needs to be a period right now of kind of proving out the results of this legislation before reinsurers really get on board,” Schwebach said. Past reforms haven't shown results in the inflated hurricane claims from Florida's primary insurance companies still being passed along to reinsurance companies to pay. “Will reinsurance prices come down immediately? I don't think so. Will reinsurers be more willing to commit capacity to the Florida market? I think there's a strong possibility,” he added. Nevertheless, Schwebach said the reinsurance market “thinks that this was a tremendous bill,” with McGuire anticipating many benefits for Florida policyholders. “This is going to unlock the opportunity for rates to be able to come down over time,” said McGuire, who has 150 insurance agents in Florida through the Team Focus Insurance Group and WeInsure, representing 100,000 policyholders. “It's also going to decrease the dependency of all of our agents on Citizens and really unlock consumer choice.”Gilway said the new law's litigation reform does not eliminate a policyholder's right to sue their insurance company. Allowing proposals for settlement and optional arbitration will allow lawsuits to be resolved more quickly, he said. “I believe it will be a huge advantage that could reduce the average length of a lawsuit from 750 days down to 310 to 320. It'll cut the length of the suit process in half and it will eliminate the suit process if they accept the arbitration language in the policy,” Gilway pointed out. He said one private company that has used optional arbitration has been able to reduce those policy rates by 20% for certain insurance policies.Claims Handling & Filing: Host Miller noted that the new law has a lot of changes to the way companies have to respond to claims going forward. McGuire said the requirement for faster claims handling is going to increase costs, something he's okay with. “I'm actually hopeful that these regulations combined with the elimination of AOBs and one-way attorney fees, that we can actually create a better consumer experience through insurance, and get away from what's been an almost adversarial claim experience and at the point of sale or at the point of claim create a much better customer experience,” said McGuire, who started his career 27 years ago working insurance claims.Schwebach agreed, adding that the law's requirement reducing the claim filing deadline from three years to one year will help, too. “If you don't understand that you have a claim within a year, it's probably not a claim,” he said, adding that this is another part of the new law where the reinsurance community is taking note, designed to make sure claims are legitimate and paid accurately and fairly. “At the end of the day, that's what reinsurers are basing their reinsurance pricing on. They go through a tremendous amount of analysis to try to understand in a hurricane scenario, the estimated loss, down to the policy level. When they're going back and reviewing that and seeing thousands and hundreds of thousands of dollars of litigation fees being added on to what was in some instances, a very minor actual property loss, and they're being stuck with the bill for all of that, it throws their analysis out the window,” Schwebach said. Citizens Property Insurance Reforms: Another big part of the new law makes significant reforms to Citizens Property Insurance, the legislatively created and taxpayer-backed insurer of last resort for homeowners and businesses that can't find coverage in the private open market. “Citizens is ridiculously competitive. It's not the market of last resort, it has become the market of first resort,” said Gilway, who has headed Citizens since June 2012 and recently announced his retirement upon the successful changes in the new law that he has long advocated. He said Citizens' policy count has grown from 414,000 in 2019 to nearly 1.2 million today, in part due to private companies going out of business. “But there's a secondary issue, and the issue is, in some territories around the state, we're 50% below the market. So we're competing openly with the private market. That makes no sense whatsoever,” Gilway said.The new law changes the eligibility to remain a Citizens policyholder, ends capped rates, requires actuarially-sound and non-competitive rates with the private market, and allows higher rates for second homes – “all good, interim steps to get us back to the role that we were meant to operate in,” said Gilway. He said he hopes the private market will be in a better financial situation to resume depopulating Citizens' policy count by the end of 2023.“Who's going to come in and try to compete with a government entity?” agreed McGuire. “Why would you commit capital to that? Florida has now solved both of those and being able to talk to consumers about that is really, really important. And that's how this market is going to change.” McGuire said setting expectations that rates aren't going to go down immediately is part of that. “This is not a little speedboat here that we can just turn. This is a big aircraft carrier and it's going to take a little bit to get there, but we're going to get there,” he said.Reinsurance Help: Schwebach shared his insight on the Florida Optional Reinsurance Assistance Program created under the new law, to help insurance companies that cannot find affordable reinsurance in the private market. “I think the jury to a certain extent is very much out on how effective this reinsurance offering is going to be from the state,” he said. And while the market is appreciative of the effort, “I think they are trying to determine if there's true value in what's being offered, the capacity being provided relative to the price,” Schwebach said. He also discussed the important role reinsurance plays in the Florida insurance market and how consumers benefit from its availability.Host Miller stressed that the new law should mark a new beginning among consumers, agents, insurance companies, contractors, investors, reinsurers, legislators, and Realtors. “This should be a collaboration to get away from the nasty litigation and the adversarial relationships that we've seen over the past few years so that we can restore this market so that it will be vibrant for our consumers and very competitive,” said Miller.Links and Resources Mentioned in this EpisodePEAK6 InsurTechGallagher ReCitizens Property Insurance CorporationKey Provisions of 2022 Insurance Consumer Protections & Market Reforms (SB 2-D & SB 2-A)Reinsurance to Assist Policyholders (RAP) Program Florida Optional Reinsurance Assistance (FORA) Program Property Insurance Stability Report (Florida Office of Insurance Regulation, July 2022) 2022 Litigation Reform & Consumer Protections (Lisa Miller & Associates)Florida Market ‘Plagued' by Attorney Fee-Shifting (LMA Newsletter of December 5, 2022) ** The Listener Call-In Line for your recorded questions and comments to air in future episodes is 850-388-8002 or you may send email to LisaMiller@LisaMillerAssociates.com **The Florida Insurance Roundup from Lisa Miller & Associates, brings you the latest developments in Property & Casualty, Healthcare, Workers' Compensation, and Surplus Lines insurance from around the Sunshine State.

Just this past week I had several of the topics on our show today come up with my clients. These topics have been mentioned separately in several of the celebrity divorce episodes, so I wanted to group them and provide thinking points for all of you. I. Attorney Fees There are totally cool attorneys who would never charge their clients money just to make more money than the work that is needed. And then there are those that see wealthy clients as on-going cash machines, dollar signs, means to the attorneys' own wealth. Horrific! I was told by an attorney recently that the concept of charging money to increase revenue, not as a result of providing necessary work, starts in college. Forbes.com conducted a survey in 2018 for the most and least trusted professions out of a list of 15 professions. Nurses were #1, doctors #2, lawyers #12, care salesmen #14, and Congress #15. The larger the hourly rate does not equal better work. The public may be fooled by the size of the hourly rate. And you know how celebrities spend top dollar. But the paperwork for a divorce is the same regardless of how much money a spouse has or an attorney charges. Beware of attorneys who might say something like, “Don't speak to your spouse. All communication must go through the attorneys.” I cannot tell you the number of times I've heard this. Ridiculous! This is a way of creating more billable hours. 2. Don't Play the Child and Spousal Support Game Kelly Clarkson doesn't. The child and spousal support game is diminishing personal income to diminish the amount of child or spousal support obligation. Make money. No Judge will allow you to intentionally decrease your earning capacity to decrease your support obligation, especially for child support. You're only hurting yourself when you try to decrease your income. Thrive. Be successful. It's best for you and for your children. The money for child support, although it's put into the other parent's bank account is for food, shelter and clothing for your child. And there are so many creative ways of dealing with spousal support: Dividing an asset to weigh heavily in favor of the support recipient as opposed to spousal support; a lump sum payment that is less than the accumulation of the years to be paid for, advantaging the recipient in ways that monthly support cannot; or a smaller amount monthly over a longer period of time, or a larger amount monthly over a shorter period of time. Mary J. Blige said she had to start touring again to meet her spousal support obligations right after the 2022 Super Bowl Halftime Show. Erika Jayne said something weird on the most recent episode of the Housewives of Beverly Hills in the last episode. She said the divorce couldn't move forward or she would owe her husband spousal support. Some of her castmates found that statement odd. I found it wrong. Spousal support is supposed to start when there are two residences, while the divorce is in process, which hers is III. Pre-Nups and Post-Nups Camille and Kelsey Grammer supposedly didn't have a pre-nup and Camille said she got 50 million dollars from the divorce settlement. You know Kim & Kanye had one, if you know anything about the business acumen of these two people. Sounds like Kelly Clarkson kind of had one. Most people who have earned and accumulated a significant amount of assets pre-marriage want them protected as separate property going into a new marriage. But how then do you intend to create community or shared assets? How is it possible to not create community assets during a marriage? Why would you marry if you don't want to create something of value together – beyond your love for one another – by getting married? And then there's the post-nuptial agreement, and agreement just like the pre-nup but after the marriage has taken place. These agreements seem to have more impact to me because they aren't contingent on getting married. They are done after the marriage ceremony, which somehow translate to very serious meaning and intention to love first, and assign stuff to each other later. IV. Social Media Just stop talking. Stop posting. Stop blathering your stuff everywhere. No one needs to know every detail of your life. And divorce is such an emotional roller coaster, don't buy a ticket to the social media coaster. The ride can end in disaster. What you say on social media could set you up for adverse decisions made by the Judge, or you can expose your hand, your strategy if you're litigating. Both Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have misused social media if they are invested in protecting their children from the drama of their divorce. Kanye is volatile; anything can set him off as we've seen if you follow him on social media. And the world doesn't care or need to know who she's dating until the divorce is final and the relationship is long term, committed and monogamous. Why hurt Kanye by posting about Pete Davidson? Does this really increase the number of shape wear sold? Whether a celebrity or not, hire an attorney with a good track record, a heart, and a conscious. Be the best earner you can be and live your life without fear of child and spousal support/alimony. Protect separate property assets, while defining how to grow as a community, a couple, a family. Pre-Nups, Post-Nups, I say “Nope” to living completely separate financial lives as a married couple. Damn near impossible. Social Media can become a very unsocial environment if you expose yourself and your dirty laundry of the marriage and divorce to the world. #KellyClarkson #Adele #MaryJBlige #KimKardashian #PeteDavidson #KanyeWest #attorneyfees #divorcelawyers #LauraWasser #unethicalattorneys #PostnuptialAgreement #PrenuptialAgreements #childsupport #spousalsupport #socialmedia #mediation #divorcelitigation

In this episode we talk about rising interest rates and the risks of not hiring a REALTOR may outweigh the legal troubles and attorney's fees.
Appellate attorney fees are being litigated more and more these days, on top of the legislature putting shifting fees in places it was not traditionally applied to. With this, people in this profession manage a lot on their plate when it comes to this area. As this continues to get more sophisticated, recovering fees also start to get a bit tricky. Todd Smith and Jody Sanders share some useful tips on how appellate lawyers can address this matter without losing the trust of their clients, as well as how to traverse the landmines that may cause problems if not detected at once. They also discuss the possible adjustments to how appellate attorney fees are handled in the future and how recovering fees differ between state and federal courts.Love the show?

People v. RoyalBrian and Shant discuss the past recollection recorded exception to the hearsay rule and the elements that trigger the exception. They court examined the time element and determined that too much time had expired from the event itself to the time the recollection was recorded. McDermott Ranch v. Connolly RanchBrian and Shant discuss a case arising out of a property dispute stemming from a real estate transaction from 1958. They unwrap a carved-out hearsay exception based on the statements being made in connection with the boundary of land of real property. Blizzard Energy v. SchaefersBrian and Shant discuss the Sister State Money Judgment Act, taking a judgment from one state and enforcing it in another state. The rule preserves the Res Judicata principle, in that once a matter is fully litigated, the parties are precluded from relitigating absent additional requirements. PG&E San Bruno Fire CasesBrian and Shant discuss the allocation of attorney fees from the determination of a special master. The agreement stated that the determination was not appealable but the language was introduced only once in the document leading to a dispute between the parties.
Claims Game Podcast #1: David Farber from The Farber Law Firm. I hope you will enjoy this very special interview with one of the best first party defense attorneys in the country! He's one of the smartest people I know, and I am honored to have him as my first guest. TOPICS OF DISCUSSION: 15:00 min - Attorney Fees and Costs 22:45 min - Civil Remedy Notice (CRN) 31:00 min - What a PA must do throughout the life of a claim. 37:00 min - Proof Of Loss (POL) 48:30 min - New Law 59:00 min - Talking Shop (Great Conversation)
Brian and Shant discuss the following cases: Johnson v. MGM: Plaintiff argues that the District Court did not do an appropriate calculation to determine attorney fees and in response, the District Court lays out multiple factors to determine the appropriate percentage. Handoush v. Lease Finance Group: For Choice of Law to be enforceable, CA looks to whether the application of another state’s law would violate primary substantive rights. Moreover, in CA parties cannot waive the right to a jury trial prior to the dispute, but in a state where the law is not an inviolate right then the parties can waive the right to a jury trial. Silbaugh v. Elaine Chow (DOT): When suing a government agency, the party pursuing the agency must name the head of that agency. However, the plaintiff simply named her supervisor and not the head of the agency. In the time it took to cure the defect, the Statute of Limitations had run baring the lawsuit. The Relation Back Doctrine however allows an amendment relates back to the original filing if it relates back to the original conduct or occurrence. Wishneb v. Northern Mutual Life Insurance: Plaintiff charged with compounded interest after borrowing money from his life insurance policy arguing a violation of usury laws. In 1918, California instituted usury laws with provisions laying out a blanket percentage in order to prevent over-charging due to compounded interest. However, in 1934, California realized the system required adjustment giving the power back to the legislature. Have questions for us?

Brian and Shant discuss the following cases: Dobbs v. City of LA (Convention Center): In terms of design immunity, to determine whether discretionary authority applies, a question of law, the Court states that as long as reasonable minds can differ, discretionary authority can be provided. The Plaintiff lost when arguing that the design of a bollard, a sturdy pillar used to prevent access to a structure, created a dangerous condition. Kalta v. Fleets 101, Inc.: Kalta purchased a vehicle through his business that was for personal use and as a result, Defendant argued that Kalta was no longer a consumer and therefore does not have standing to sue under the CLRA. However, the Court of Appeal held any person who acquires goods for personal use is a consumer and thus has standing. Eck v. City of LA (DWP): An objector at a final settlement approval hearing must have first filed a Motion to Vacate the settlement or Motion to Intervene, and if not, is not considered a party and does not have standing to appeal. Hyundai v. Morris: It is inappropriate and an abuse of discretion to tie an attorney fee award to the amount of the prevailing parties’ damages or award. As long as the attorney fees are reasonable, fair, and justified, the fees are appropriate. However, the attorney has a responsibility to explain the details about the hours worked. Brian provides further insight by adding how the cost of litigation has routinely affected the issue of attorney fees.
A new United States Supreme court decision from December 11th, 2019 changes how corporate counsel, business owners and attorneys, the United States over, can consider and deal with defending their patents and trademarks against the US PTO. In other words, if the rule right now is if you appeal a decision of the US PTO in a trademark case, the US PTO can collect its attorney's fees from you if it wins the case. If you appeal a decision from a patent case. The rule prior to December 11th was that the US PTO at least asserted that they could collect their attorney's fees. The Supreme court took this case up. It was Peter vs NantKwest, Inc. and they based their decision to ask for attorney's fees on section 145 35 USC 145 of the patent act, which says that the US PTO was entitled to collect all of the expenses of the proceeding. So that's win, lose or draw. The US PTO claimed that it was entitled to collect fees. What was partly interesting about the NantKwest case, it's the first time since 1839, 174 years, that the US PTO has asked for attorney's fees in this kind of case. Clearly they were looking to shift what was going on and they wanted to start making this a revenue generator for them at least recover their costs as part of their governmental function. The outcome of the case, the Supreme Court decided that the US PTO could not collect its attorney's fees and this is a big shift because I think it also affects the current state of the law with respect to appeals of trademark matters

Brian and Shant discuss the following:OTO v. Kho: An arbitration agreement ruled void and unenforceable due to unconscionability. Lopez v. Bartlett Care Center: A wrongful death matter that confronts the issue of agency authority and substantive unconscionability. The Court held that an arbitration agreement signed by a daughter on behalf of her mother was procedurally unconscionable because the mother was not present when the daughter signed the agreement where the care center asserted the contrary. Moreover, the Court held the agreement substantively unconscionable because the provisions in the agreement were substantially one-sided. Bustos v. Wells Fargo: A close look at the provisions of the California Homeowners Bill of Rights (CABOR) and what remedies it provides. The Court held that the bank was in violation of the CABOR and in response granted injunctive relief in the form of a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) in addition to $4,200.00 in attorneys fees. Wells Fargo argued that the plaintiff was not entitled to injunctive relief because the matter was not finalized based upon the grant of the TRO and therefore not a prevailing party. However, the Court disagreed and found that a TRO is a Preliminary Injunction and therefore Plaintiff is in fact a prevailing party. Arias v. Residence Inn by Marriott: A case dealing with an employment class action and the implications of the Class Action Fairness Act (CAFA) for the purposes of removal and remand. Mancini Associates v. Schwetz: A look at an award of attorney fees arising from the breach of an agreement. Davis v. Ross: A dispute over a disabled parking spot leads a woman to a felony vandalism conviction. She then sues the victim of her vandalism and loses because of the principle of Litigation Privilege after a Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings. She argued the concept of spoliation of the evidence and the Court ruled that the argument only applies to non-communicative conduct and is also subject to the Litigation Privilege.

Attorney Steve® Copyright Law Essentials - Getting attorney fees and statutory damages by registering your copyright AFTER you notice infringement. 17 U.S.C. 412 has been used by "copyright trolls" to justify seeking high monetary demands out of court (ex. photography tolls) even though their photos are not registered with the United States Copyright Office.

California Civil Code 2924.19 defined Attorney Steve Vondran explains what California Civil Code Section 2924.19 means. This is a part of the California Homeowner's Bill of Rights ("HBOR") and is a remedy provision for dealing with "material" violations of the law. There is a difference between whether or not you file suit before a non-judicial foreclosure sale (seek a TRO, Injunction, file lis pendens and seek attorney fees). Post-sale, your rights might be limited to seeking damages, and attorney fees. If you can show willful, reckless, or intentional misconduct you can seek triple (or "treble") actual damages (meaning three times whatever your damages are), or $50,000 in statutory damages, whichever is greater. The HBOR is a very important law that could give you significant legal rights when you are facing the loss of your home. If you are facing "dual tracking" problems, or violations of Cal. civ. code 2923.5 or believe you have robosigned documents (inaccurate and incomplete documents, or filing foreclosure documents where the documents are not based on competent and reliable evidence, and/or the right to foreclose is not property substantiated), these things can create grounds to file a state or federal lawsuit against your lender, loan servicer, beneficiary, or their authoritzed agents.
