I want to tackle a hot topic that's getting a lot of attention here in Ohio: police qualified immunity. There's been some buzz lately with talk of amending the Ohio constitution to eliminate qualified immunity, and with moves from the Attorney General and even the Ohio Supreme Court nudging this issue closer to the ballot, the debate is really heating up.I break down what qualified immunity actually is, why it matters for police officers, government workers, and regular folks like us, and what could happen if it gets scrapped. Trust me, there are strong arguments on both sides, and it's the kind of issue that could seriously change the legal landscape here in Ohio.I'm not here to take sides today, but I do want to set the stage for a much bigger conversation. I'm planning to bring in some guests soon—lawyers who work on both sides of this debate—so we can really dig deep and talk about what's at stake.So if you've got questions or thoughts about qualified immunity, shoot them my way. I'm looking forward to having this discussion, and I hope you stick around for what's sure to be an interesting ride.

Ever wondered what "en banc review" really means in appellate law? On this episode of Lawyer Talk, I break down this rarely used but powerful legal maneuver in a way that's both clear and practical.Here are 3 key takeaways from the conversation:En Banc Explained: En banc review refers to a request for the entire appellate court—not just the typical three-judge panel—to re-hear a case. This usually happens when a decision may conflict with other rulings, in-state or statewide.When & Why to Request: Lawyers typically seek en banc review when a panel's decision clashes with other appellate outcomes or when a case has significant legal implications that the whole court should weigh in on.Outcomes Can Change: If granted, en banc review can lead to a brand-new decision—sometimes supporting, sometimes overturning, or even fundamentally altering the initial ruling. It's a strategic last resort when the stakes couldn't be higher.If you deal with appeals or just want insight into appellate strategy, this episode is packed with actionable info.Submit your questions to www.lawyertalkpodcast.com.Recorded at Channel 511.Stephen E.

I hear this question a lot—have Uber and Lyft actually led to fewer drunk driving cases? Drawing on my years of experience as a DUI defense attorney, I share how rideshare apps have shifted the landscape of drinking and driving, especially among 21-year-olds today. I also discuss why, even with the best intentions and easy access to Uber and Lyft, people still find themselves in trouble after a few drinks. I tell some real-life stories from my practice and offer practical advice on how to truly avoid an OVI. So stick around for an honest look at why good decisions can go bad—and what you can do to stay safe.3 Key Takeaways:Technology Doesn't Override Human Nature: Alcohol impairs the very part of the brain that helps us make rational decisions. Even the best-laid plans to use Uber can unravel after a few drinks.Education Matters Most: Younger people, especially those in college, seem more mindful about not drinking and driving—likely thanks to improved education and awareness campaigns, even more so than rideshare availability alone.Beware of “One Last Trip”: Many DUI cases happen after people responsibly get home via Uber, but later decide to drive for food, snacks, or late-night plans—still under the influence.Got a question you want answered on the podcast?

In this episode of Tax Tuesday, Eliot Thomas, Esq. is joined by Anderson CPA Barley Bowler. They explain how transfer-on-death titles still provide beneficiaries with stepped-up basis advantages and clarify that short-term rentals don't qualify for real estate professional status. You'll hear proper entity structures for rental properties, recommending against holding appreciating real estate in C corporations. They thoroughly explain the 280A "Augusta Rule" that allows tax-free rental income from personal residences to your business for up to 14 days annually. With input from bookkeeping expert Troy Butler, they recommend QuickBooks Online for tracking rental property finances. Additionally, they cover Roth IRA conversions, tax withholding strategies, and 1031 exchange rules for deferring capital gains.   Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors.com Highlights/Topics: "When a house is under a transfer on death title, does the beneficiary still get a step-up in basis?" - Yes, they still get a stepped-up basis. "If I already qualify as a real estate professional rep status via short-term rentals and add long-term rentals to the mix. Can I lump the two kinds together? And does having an S corporation that manages everything affect my rep status?" - Short-term rentals don't qualify for REP status. S-corps generally don't affect REP status. "Where real estate properties are in individual LLCs, disregarded and owned by my C corporation, does the C corporation maintain one bank account and collect rent for all individual properties?" - Not recommended. Use a management company instead. "If you get started in wholesaling, should you file as an S corporation?" - Yes, use S or C corp. "What kind of bookkeeping is needed for rental real estate? Do you have any bookkeeping software to suggest?" - QuickBooks Online is recommended. Track properties separately. "When doing an IRA to Roth conversion, are there any limits? Are pre-tax conversions always treated as ordinary income? Is it true that the IRS does not know or care when the conversions were done during the year?" - No limits. Yes, ordinary income. IRS treats as earned throughout year. "How does tax work if a business owner is paying himself as an employee, do we have to tax twice? Once for the business income and once as an employee?" - No, payroll is deductible business expense. "How do I do a 1031 exchange? And how do I maximize real estate property depreciation after I do a 1031 exchange? Am I stuck with the previous depreciation rate and amount of the previous property?" - Use a qualified intermediary. Trade up for more depreciation.

Sarah in Ohio reaches out to ask about her nephew, who was recently convicted of attempted murder and felonious assault in what they believe was a clear-cut case of self-defense. After losing their appeal and feeling like the state courts haven't given them a fair shake, Sarah wants to know: can they skip straight to the United States Supreme Court?I break down exactly how the appellate process works and why, no matter how urgent or important your case feels, you can't just jump right to the Supreme Court. I walk you through the legal ladder—from trial, to the Ohio Court of Appeals, to the Ohio Supreme Court, and only then, potentially, to the highest court in the land. Along the way, I explain what kinds of issues the Supreme Court is actually looking for, and why they usually don't take up individual error corrections. If you've ever wondered how—and if—a case can make it all the way to Washington, D.C., this episode will clear things up. So tune in for an inside look at the real process of seeking justice through an appeal!Here are 3 key takeawaysNo Skipping Steps: You can't bypass intermediate appeals and go directly to the U.S. Supreme Court. Every case must follow a specific appellate ladder, starting with a direct appeal, then applying for review by your state's highest court.Supreme Courts Are Selective: Both the Ohio Supreme Court and the U.S. Supreme Court choose which cases they hear, typically focusing on issues with broad constitutional impact—not just error correction in a single case.Timing and Process Matter: If your case is denied review at the state's highest level, you have a limited window (typically 90 days) to petition the U.S. Supreme Court—and even then, getting heard is rare.Submit your questions to www.lawyertalkpodcast.com.Recorded at Channel 511.Stephen E.

Ever wondered if you can sit in on a jury trial?I get asked this question all the time: Can you just walk into a courtroom and watch a jury trial, especially if it's your loved one on trial? Drawing from my experience as a criminal defense attorney, I break down the constitutional rights that guarantee public trials, share some stories from my own time in court, and talk about the rare instances where a courtroom might be closed to the public.Whether you're hoping to support someone you care about, curious about courtroom proceedings, or simply interested in how the justice system works behind the scenes, I'll walk you through what you can expect, what makes public trials so important, and even offer a bit of encouragement if you've never set foot in a courthouse before. I shed some light on the process, the surprises you might encounter, and why everyone—yes, even you—has the right to see justice in action.Got a question you want answered on the podcast?

Anyone appealing a conviction should always consider post-conviction strategies and consult lawyers who understand their importance and deadlines.I take you behind the scenes of Ohio's post-conviction hearings—a part of the criminal appellate process that's often misunderstood and, frankly, overlooked. Building on our previous discussion, I explain what post-conviction petitions are, why they matter, and share my recent experience handling a rare, week-long post-conviction hearing. I break down the legal standards we have to meet, the importance of expert testimony, and how the landscape for these hearings is shifting in Ohio. I also walk you through what really happens after you score a win in post-conviction court, what appeals might look like, and why post-conviction work can be a make-or-break factor when you're choosing an attorney. Whether you've got your own case on the line or just want to understand more about what happens after a criminal conviction, I've packed this episode with practical insights and real-world advice.

My guest is James Sexton, Esq., a renowned attorney specializing in contracts related to love and money—prenuptial agreements, divorce and custody. We explore the counterintuitive fact that people with prenuptial agreements tend to stay married longer and report more satisfying relationships than those who don't. We discuss how legal contracts can foster deeper understanding by encouraging vulnerability and honest communication about each partner's values and expectations. We also examine what defines true, lasting love versus generic romantic ideals—and how social media can distort our understanding of what we truly need. Additionally, we review how cultural traditions, gender dynamics, courtship length, and age at the time of marriage shape marital outcomes. This episode offers practical tools for anyone—single or partnered—to build more successful and stable relationships through deeply honest dialogue and contracts that reflect genuine values around love and money.

Think DNA evidence always means someone's guilty? Think again!Fresh off a hearing where I examined multiple DNA experts, both for the defense and the prosecution, I want to break down the common misconceptions and hidden complexities surrounding DNA today. With technology now able to detect just the tiniest traces—sometimes as little as 20 cells—the interpretation of DNA evidence has become far less straightforward than many believe.I share real-world examples, including cases where innocent people were implicated simply because their DNA was found in unexpected places, often due to accidental transfer. My main takeaway? DNA evidence isn't always the slam dunk it's made out to be. It's more important than ever to bring in experts and scrutinize every detail when DNA becomes a factor in a case.

In this episode of the NASP Podcast, Sheila Arquette, President & CEO of NASP, speaks with Jeffrey S. Baird, Esq., Chairman of the Health Care Group at Brown & Fortunato, P.C. and Bradley W. Howard, shareholder and director at Brown & Fortunato, P.C. In today's environment, it is challenging enough to profitably run a specialty pharmacy. The pharmacy needs to avoid the additional challenge of inquiries, audits and investigations by governmental agencies and PBMs. This podcast will discuss the proactive steps the specialty pharmacy can take to lower the risk of inquiries, audits and investigations. This podcast will also set out steps the pharmacy can take to resolve inquiries, audits and investigations before they spin out of control. The podcast will focus on the following: • Corporate Compliance Program – The specialty pharmacy needs to implement a robust compliance program that is specific to the pharmacy's business model. Such a program will head off many problems before they arise…and a compliance program will resolve problems, once arisen, before they spin out of control. • PBMs – A PBM is in a stronger negotiating position than that of the specialty pharmacy. At the end of the day, the PBM “possesses the pharmacy's money.” This podcast will discuss the steps the pharmacy should take to establish a “win-win” relationship with a PBM. Doing so will eliminate uncertainty and prevent many problems from arising. However, if the PBM ends up bringing an inquiry, audit or investigation against the pharmacy, the podcast will set out the steps the pharmacy should take to resolve the inquiry, audit or investigation without it devolving into an adversarial action. • Governmental Agencies – There are a number of federal and state governmental agencies that a specialty pharmacy may have to deal with. These include (i) the Department of Justice, (ii) the Office of Inspector General, (iii) the DEA, (iv) the FDA, (v) state Attorneys General, and (vi) State Boards of Pharmacy. This podcast will discuss the steps the pharmacy should take when it is investigated by a governmental agency. As with working with PBMs, the pharmacy should strive to resolve a government investigation before it spins out of control. 

Clint Coons, Esq., interviews Kathy Fettke, founder of Real Wealth Network and a seasoned real estate expert with over 20 years of experience. They discuss current market conditions, with Kathy explaining how real estate's slow-moving nature provides stability compared to the volatile stock market. She shares that recent decreases in mortgage rates have already increased pending sales and mortgage applications. Kathy reveals her top investment markets, emphasizing the Southeast (particularly Texas and Florida) for growth and appreciation, while the Midwest (parts of Ohio and Indianapolis) offers better cash flow. She explains the importance of property type selection, market dynamics, and long-term strategy, highlighting how newer properties in growth markets typically outperform older properties in stagnant markets, even if the latter initially show better cash flow. Kathy also discusses the current opportunity with builders offering rate buy-downs on new construction, property management considerations, and the importance of avoiding markets with unfavorable landlord laws. This episode provides valuable insights for both new and experienced real estate investors looking to build wealth through strategic property acquisition. Kathy Fettke is Co-Founder of RealWealth.com, helping busy professionals acquire turnkey rental properties in fast-growing U.S. markets.

We are focusing on how we can overcome our fear and doubt, be bolstered by faith, take risks, meet opportunity, and imagine unlimited possibilities.

In this episode, Anderson attorneys Amanda Wynalda, Esq., and Eliot Thomas, Esq., address several listener questions on a variety of tax topics. They cover the tax implications of selling stocks to purchase rental properties, explaining capital gains strategies and depreciation options. The duo discusses using LLCs and management corporations for rental properties, including how property management fees can generate tax-free income. They explore inheritance tax considerations for 401(k)s, the benefits of short-term rentals for generating tax losses, and the implications of moving back into a rental property. Other topics include setting reasonable salaries for S-Corporation owners, maximizing depreciation to offset W2 income, claiming natural disaster losses, depreciating remodel costs for rental properties, and properly implementing the 280A/Augusta Rule for tax-free home rentals. Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors.com Highlights/Topics: "I would like to sell my stocks and use the money to help purchase a rental property. Is there a strategy to minimize or avoid paying taxes on capital gains or any other tax-saving advice?" - Loss harvesting and short-term rental tax benefits. "Would a rental property not in an LLC also be reported under the Management Corporation or a 1040?" - Report rental on 1040, management fee on 1120. "What would the tax implication be when a spouse passes and the surviving spouse inherits a 401k?" - Lump sum, continue distributions, or rollover options. "What would be the tax consequences concerning W2 income, depreciation, etc., of purchasing a rental property, using it as a short-term rental with material participation in the tax year that it was purchased, then selling it the following tax year?" - First-year losses, later depreciation recapture on sale. "What are the tax implications if I've moved back into my rental and use it as my primary residence? I'm not planning on selling anytime soon." - Reduced Section 121 exclusion, depreciation recapture later. "What is a reasonable salary range we should set for ourselves to remain compliant but still maximize our S Corporation Tax savings?" - 30-60% of net business income typically. "If a person is a W2 wage earner and wants to start real estate as a side job, what needs to be true when picking real estate options to maximize asset depreciation to help offset my W2 taxes owed?" - Short-term rentals with material participation (100+ hours). "If I experienced a loss from a flood that was declared a natural disaster in 2024, how do I take that credit on my taxes?" - Personal: federal declaration required. Business: none needed. "How do you depreciate remodel costs for an income property? So, a rental property. You purchased the property, for example, 10 years ago for 100k, and began depreciating it. This year, you put 30K into a remodel that included floors, paint, kitchen cabinets, and appliances." - Separate depreciation schedules for each improvement type. "I'm interested in using the 280A/Augusta rule rental of my home for an upcoming seminar that I'll be attending online. Am I allowed to use this strategy since I'm the only one attending? Also, I reviewed the document that Anderson put together for the 280A. It mentions getting three quotes. If I call a hotel and ask for a conference room quote for one person, I imagine I won't be taken seriously. Do you just request a small conference room for five people or less?" - One-person meetings allowed; request quotes for small groups.
