Send us a textThe digital marketing landscape for home care agencies is experiencing a seismic shift as AI-powered search transforms how potential clients find care services. Valerie Van Booven delivers a compelling deep dive into this new reality where traditional SEO tactics alone no longer guarantee visibility.When someone searches "How much does home care cost in St. Louis?" or "Can I get paid to care for a family member in Nebraska?", Google and ChatGPT now provide comprehensive answers directly at the top of search results—often without users needing to click through to any website. This fundamentally changes the game for home care agencies seeking to connect with potential clients online.Through real-world examples and screenshots, Valerie demonstrates how agencies that create structured, authoritative content addressing real client questions consistently appear in these AI-generated summaries. The agencies winning in this new environment aren't just focusing on location-based keywords like "home care in Fairfax"—they're creating valuable content around the questions people actually ask: payment options, caregiver compensation, and service comparisons.The strategies for success include developing comprehensive service descriptions, building location-specific content, maintaining active business profiles on Google and Bing, securing and responding to reviews, and creating FAQ sections using natural, conversational language. Perhaps most importantly, agencies should regularly "AI themselves" by searching for their business in ChatGPT and Google to understand what information these systems are presenting about their services.Ready to ensure your home care agency doesn't become invisible in AI search? Implement these proven strategies to strengthen your digital presence and connect with more clients in this new era of AI-powered discovery. The agencies that adapt quickly will gain significant advantages as these technologies continue to evolve and reshape how care decisions are made.Continuum Mastery Circle IntroVisit our website at https://asnhomecaremarketing.comGet Your 11 Free Home Care Marketing Guides: https://bit.ly/homecarerev

Send us a textFairfax criminal defense lawyer Jonathan Katz knows that acquittals are great and often exhilarating, but trials can also bring risks. On this Beat the Prosecution episode, Jon Katz talks on his own about the art of obtaining favorable plea or settlement deals, which need to be backed up by the threat and strength of trial readiness. Settlements can only be earned, but are never owed to a criminal defendant.  Many Virginia criminal and DUI defendants expect to be offered a plea deal, and want it to be a desirable plea deal. However, nothing in the law requires a Virginia assistant commonwealth's attorney (prosecutor) to make a plea offer, nor for the accused to do anything other than proceed to trial. Jon Katz's parallel blog entry on this subject illustrates one of his successful plea negotiations that can be of help to you as a criminal defendant and your Virginia criminal defense attorney. With this settlement, we started out with a Virginia DUI / driving under the influence of alcohol prosecution alleging a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) over 0.20, which carries a mandatory ten days in jail. Jon reached an impasse with the prosecutor about going lower than the mandatory minimum five days in jail for a reduced BAC in the 0.15-0.20 range.Jon asked the prosecutor if he had read Roger Fisher's and William Ury's Getting to Yes on negotiated settlements, which emphasizes negotiating on goals versus positions. The impasse continued. Jon transcended the impasse by standing up, calling out the names of the two lead police officers in the case, telling them the great self improvement his client had pursued,  explained why the defendant's livelihood was at stake from the prosecutor's plea offer, and asked them for ideas on how this case could be settled without active jail. Without missing a beat, the arresting officer suggested three years of the ignition interlock device. The prosecutor went along with that, adding to complete forty-five community service hours...Fairfax criminal lawyer Jon Katz pursues your best defense against Virginia criminal & DUI prosecutions.

   Fewer than 200 people gathered in KC to protest ICE and it was a comical group.  A whole bunch of white people with wrinkled clothes, ratty hair and bad signs complaining about the laws of our land is less than inspirational.  And they went home way before dark.  These are not ICE rallies, these are just the same people that don't like America or Donald Trump.    LA mayor Karen Bass implemented a curfew last night and it was ignored.  Political rioters and looters took to the streets and LAPD says 197 people were arrested.  And those who broke in to the Apple store had a rude awakening.  Apple tracked those who stole products, turned the info over to authorities and disabled the devices. Hysterical.  Steal shoes next time!    GM is spending $4 billion to move production from Mexico to the US and KC is getting a great boost at the Fairfax plant.   The Yanks blast the Royals and Manager Q pulls another head scratcher.  Aaron Rodgers reports to Steelers camp with a wedding ring and starts a bromance with former KSU quarterback Will Howard.  Bryson DeChambeau and the heavy rough are the big stories at the US Open and Simone Biles has apologized to Riley Gaines.

Fairfax is a small, predominantly white town of about 7,500 people, nestled up against the Mt. Tam watershed in Marin. Wellness and a distrust of authority have long been part of the town's culture. But since the pandemic, it also became a place where supporters of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s anti-vaccine message grew louder and louder.

(Disclaimer: The content in this video is intended for educational and informational purposes only)Kyle and Mark break down body cam footage of an officer involved shooting. Details: Fairfax, Virginia — On April 23, 2025, at 2:36 p.m., an officer with the Fairfax County Police Department conducted a traffic stop in the 4000 block of Majestic Lane after noticing an expired safety sticker on the front window of a 1999 Toyota Corolla. The car was being driven by 36-year-old Jamal Wali of Fairfax. Wali was argumentative and refused to obey commands. Backup was called and once on scene, Wali unholstered a weapon and fired one shot at through the driver's side window. He attempted to fire a second shot, but it didn't discharge due to a malfunction. The bullet that Wali fired traveled through the bicep of one officer, then through the forearm of another officer before traveling across the street and shattering the back windshield of another parked car. Both officers were treated at a local hospital and later released. A third officer standing on the passenger side of the vehicle discharged his weapon, striking Wali four times. Wali was transported to a nearby hospital and was later pronounced deceased.=================================Subscribe to Shots Fired Podcast Here:➡️ YouTube: @shotsfiredpodcast50 ==============Ways to reach the Shots Fired Podcast Team:==============

Since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, capitalism has unleashed unimaginable growth in opportunity and prosperity. And yet, at key points in American history, economic disruption has led to a greater role for government, ostensibly to protect against capitalism's excesses. Today, government regulates, mandates, subsidizes and controls a growing share of the American economy. Today on the show, retired U.S. Senator Phil Gramm, one of America's premier public policy advocates, and noted economist Donald J. Boudreaux look at the seven events and issues in American history that define, for most Americans, the role of government and how the 21st century world works. To many, these 5 periods of American history—the Industrial Revolution, Progressive Era, Great Depression, decline of America's postwar preeminence in world trade, and the Great Recession—along with the existing levels of income inequality and poverty, represent strong evidence for expanding government in American life. Gramm and Boudreaux argue that the evidence might point to a contrary verdict. Phil Gramm served six years in the U.S. House of Representatives and eighteen years in the U.S. Senate where he was Chairman of the Banking Committee. Gramm is a Visiting Scholar at the American Enterprise Institute. He was Vice Chairman of UBS Investment Bank and is now Vice Chairman of Lone Star Funds. He taught Economics at Texas A&M University and has published numerous articles and books. Donald J. Boudreaux is an American economist, author, professor, and co-director of the Program on the American Economy and Globalization at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. His writings have appeared in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Investor's Business Daily, The Washington Times, and many scholarly publications. Their new book is The Triumph of Economic Freedom: Debunking the Seven Great Myths of American Capitalism.

New landlords can hike the rent, but they can't kill an L.A. institution—at least not while Marc and Med are around. The duo behind Genghis Cohen (and Dom's favorite restaurant La Dolce Vita) drop by to explain why they're uprooting 42-year-old Chinese-American icon Genghis Cohen and hauling its fish-tank, neon, and NYC aura exactly 2 blocks south on Fairfax.Along the way we get a crash-course in red-sauce minimalism, the lost art of Queens-style egg rolls, and the business math of paying “L.A. landlord prices” without gutting a neighborhood staple. If you care about late-night duck-sauce, community institutions, or how to move a restaurant overnight and reopen for take-out the next morning, this one's for you. Keep up with Marc, Med, and Genghis Cohen at www.genghiscohen.comAnd get yourself some baked clams at www.ladolcevitabeverlyhills.com

As an undergraduate alum of Tufts University, Jon Katz opened his eyes and ears all the more to the plight of Rümeysa Öztürk, who is not known to have written or said anything more radical than the decidedly non-radical op-ed she co-authored with three others in the Tufts  Daily. Ms. Öztürk has a great team of lawyers -- including our interviewee Mahsa Khanbabai -- and she recently won a federal court order to release her from detention while she fights deportation proceedings.

Send us a textFairfax criminal lawyer Jonathan Katz knows the importance of reducing not only conviction and sentencing risks in Virginia criminal court, but also to minimize adverse collateral consequences from court outcomes. Jon Katz has interviewed some immigration lawyers on our Beat the Prosecution podcast to address immigration risks from criminal case outcomes. This episode is the first one to have a lawyer tell about risks about traveling outside the United States with a criminal conviction or the equivalent, with Canada being the topic of this episode. Enter Canadian crimmigration attorney Marisa Feil, who tells the harsh realities of being barred from Canada for life for a Virginia DUI conviction, driving under the influence conviction anywhere, even a reckless driving conviction (which does not even need to be wet reckless) and many othe convictions. The bar can be overcome, but why get the bar in the first place if your Fairfax criminal lawyer / Virginia DUI attorney can avoid it? If you as a criminal defendant know or expect you will have a need to travel to Canada, talk with your criminal defense lawyer about how informing the prosecutor and/or judge about your risks for traveling to Canada from your case might be used to your advantage in negotiating for the most favorable possible outcome in your case (ideally not inviolving a conviction) and most favorable possible sentence if you are convicted. Before you make your travel arrangements, you may wish to obtain your FBI criminal record, which is the same database the Canadian immigration authorities use when you arrive at their border or at their airports. This episode is also available on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhCcmAnQOBg , at Apple podcasts at https://podcast.beattheprosecution.com/2293867/episodes/17220159 , and Apple podcasts at https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/winning-by-erasing-borders-marissa-feil-on-entering/id1721413675?i=1000709713616____Fairfax criminal lawyer Jon Katz believes in defending without borders of the physical, mental or thought process kind.

Send us a textFairfax criminal lawyer Jonathan Katz strongly dissents from the Trump administration's revoking of the Biden administration's policy of rarely making immigration arrests at courthouses other than for essentially exigent circumstances, lest undocumented people stay away from courthouses when criminal defendants, civil litigants, and witnesses. Separation of powers and federalism also favor no courthouse immigration arrests. "Nobody is above the law" oversimplifies this entire matter, as covered by this podcast episode, with Milwaukee lawyer Stephen Kravit as our guest, to explain the realities over the below-detailed incident involving Judge Hannah Dugan, and how to make systemic courthouse changes to avoid repeats of such incidents. Steve has written here (and continued here) on this matter. A few weeks ago, federal authorities arrested Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan at her own courthouse, leaving her unable to even handle her day's docket, after being charged federally for concealment and obstruction of justice involving an immigration administrative arrest warrant (meaning not issued by a judge) for a defendant in her courtroom, and arranging for him and his lawyer to exit her courtroom from a side door, which went into the same public hallway as her courtroom's main entrance. This episode is also available on YouTube.For more reading on efforts to protect separation of powers and federalism in courthouses, beneficial reading includes a Colorado judge's recent order for no civil immigration enforcement at the courthouse, the New York City Bar's dissent from the prosecution of Judge Dugan, this legal analysis of judges dealing with immigration enforcement at courthouses, this 2018 letter from dozens of former judges against courthouse immigration enforcement, this article (and here) on states that have pushed back against courthouse immigration enforcement, the NYC Legal Aid Society's suggestions on dealing with such enforcement.This podcast with Fairfax, Virginia criminal / DUI lawyer Jon Katz is playable on all devices at podcast.BeatTheProsecution.com.

Send us a textFairfax criminal defense lawyer Jonathan Katz derives tremendous inspiration in his courtroom work from teacher Robert Thurman, for his humor, caring realness, great storytelling ability, and certainly his genius in conveying Buddhist, mindfulness and spiritual ideas in a way that draws in the audience. In this episode of Beat the Prosecution, Jon Katz goes beyond what has already been written about Bob, to find out what energizes and inspires him to be the great person and teacher that he is. Bob's story is fascinating, to say the least. In his early twenties or so, he went to Asia, and ultimately became a monastic. He was not even aware of the Beatles when they took America by storm. Then, Bob returned to layperson life, and became a Buddhist scholar and is a major translator of Buddhist texts. He was a professor at Amherst College and then Columbia University. He co-founded Tibet House in New York, along with Richard Gere and Philip Glass. With his wife Nena Thurman, he spearheaded the Menla reatreat center in the Catskills, which is a project of Tibet House. The greatness of the Thurman name expands further with their daughter Uma Thurman. Jon Katz first started reading Bob Thurman's writings and listening to him around fifteen years ago, and met him twelve years ago. Bob is able to tackle even the most challenging and troubling issues, and permeate them with his infectious, compassionate and riveting humor. Bob would be a great trial lawyer; fully, persuasively, and entertainingly engaging the audience, clearing the air of unnecessarily heavy energy, vibrating highly, and distilling the message without needing to rehash unnecessary factoids. Experience Bob's essence, persona and brilliance with his podcast, videos and books at BobThurman.com . Jon recommends visiting and donating to Tibet House, and visiting the Menla Retreat Center. Bob recommends reading his Wisdom is Bliss book Jon also very much likes Bob's Infinite LIfe book. Among the opportunities to meet Robert Thurman is the is the mid-August 2025 Ram Dass Legacy Summer Mountain Retreat in North Carolina. This Beat the Prosecution episode is also playable on YouTube and Apple podcasts.This podcast with Fairfax, Virginia criminal / DUI lawyer Jon Katz is playable on all devices at podcast.BeatTheProsecution.com.

Send us a textBethesda lawyer Carolyn Elefant is a trailblazing lawyer. Not being cut out to conform to law firm life, she decided thirty years ago to strike out on her own. For decades and counting, she has shared her pearls of wisdom and encouragement -- including in her book Solo By Choice -- for lawyers to consider becoming their own bosses, and to thrive as solo and small firm practitioners. At first, Carolyn's focus on energy law might sound establishmentarian, until you hear here about her repeated representation of the underdog threatened with eminent domain and other actions when they simply want to be left alone. Carolyn lives the motto of helping others to rise as she rises. Fairfax criminal and DUI defense lawyer Jonathan Katz first met Carolyn over twenty years ago, at a few SoloSez small and solo law firm gatherings. Her persona seems lowkey as she pursues winning results for her clients as while balancing that with her personal life, as exemplified by her making the best out of solo law practice by teaming with her husband by sharing to be fully present with their young children, and then seeing Carolyn returning to work after their daughters' bedtime and working until 1:00 a.m. It is no wonder that Carolyn led the path for 777 (including Jon Katz, here signed in at page 25) and 334 small and solo practicing lawyers, respectively to join as amicus parties in the Susman Godfrey and Perkins Coie brave injunctive actions -- when some previously highly-sought-after large corporate law firms to work for have instead buckled down -- pursuing a stop to the Trump Administration's onslaught against those two law firms and other targeted law firms, for starters, to revoke access to federal personnel and to strip their lawyers of security clearances. True to her nature, in this podcast episode, Carolyn gives full credit to the lawyer and assistant team who worked with her on this great effort. This Beat the Prosecution podcast episode also is available visually at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyXS609LUFU&list=PLH1070JxGHYma6D5XevcUS_96cfmLm71AThis podcast with Fairfax, Virginia criminal / DUI lawyer Jon Katz is playable on all devices at podcast.BeatTheProsecution.com.

In this episode of Consider the Constitution, host Dr. Katie Crawford-Lackey welcomes back Kendra Johnson, assistant Public Defender in Fairfax, Virginia, to explore the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments. Johnson explains how these amendments form the backbone of criminal procedure in America and protect citizens from government overreach.The discussion begins with an overview of each amendment: the Fourth Amendment protecting against unreasonable searches and seizures, the Fifth Amendment covering rights such as protection against self-incrimination and double jeopardy, and the Sixth Amendment ensuring the right to a speedy trial, impartial jury, and legal counsel. Johnson shares insights into the historical context of these amendments, explaining how the Framers developed these protections in response to abuses they had witnessed under British rule.The conversation highlights landmark Supreme Court cases that have shaped these rights over time, including Katz v. United States, which established the "reasonable expectation of privacy" standard; Miranda v. Arizona, which created the famous "Miranda warnings"; and Gideon v. Wainwright, which guaranteed the right to an attorney even for those who cannot afford one.The episode concludes with a discussion of emerging challenges to these constitutional protections in the digital age, including questions about surveillance technology, online trials, and artificial intelligence in the criminal justice system. Johnson emphasizes that these amendments are vital not just for those accused of crimes but for all citizens, as they establish boundaries on government power that protect everyone's liberty regardless of who holds political office.

Meredith is easily one of the most interesting and unusual people we've ever had on the podcast, and her story is a testament to just how much small-town living appeals to all kinds of people, even people that you may not expect. This episode is all about how Meredith–a Marin County, California native–found herself in rural South Dakota, and what we can do to make our small towns more welcoming for all different kinds of people who want to make their lives here.  About Meredith: Meredith McMurray was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, CA. She was home-schooled for all but one of her twelve grade school years. Then, in 2006, she enlisted into the US Marine Corps at age 18 and served four years active duty, deploying twice during that time. After an Honorable Discharge, Meredith began an exploration into the world of health and healing practices such as yoga, neuromuscular therapy, meditation, self-inquiry, and performing arts! She began learning Aerial Acrobatics in 2012, at first as a hobby. By 2016, Meredith began making a living off of teaching and performing Aerial Acrobatics. In May 2019, Meredith was presented with an opportunity to take over ownership of Aerial Arts Fairfax (IG account no longer managed), a local beloved Aerial Academy in Fairfax, CA. The offer was for Meredith to purchase the business and facilitate over 200 actively enrolled students to continue their training—or watch it close and cease to exist due to the original founder opting to retire earlier in 2019. Out of pure love for the art form (and a lack of awareness of what was to come), Meredith took a risk and invested five figures of borrowed money into purchasing the business. Aerial Arts Fairfax had eight great months under Meredith's leadership, and then March 2020 came along... Obliterated by the statewide lockdowns and dysfunctional social practices implemented by the majority in the San Francisco Bay Area, Meredith consciously chose to no longer serve that community with her business nor her physical presence. Meredith had heard former Governor Kristi Noem say, "All South Dakotans are Essential." So, after sixteen total months of fighting to regain any sense of meaning or purpose in California, Meredith packed her Prius and drove to South Dakota with no plan. Once she arrived, Meredith was able to shake hands with Gov. Kristi Noem and thank her for standing up for the people of South Dakota and their occupations. Then, Meredith was able to work a seasonal job in South Dakota and earn enough to pay herself back from the five-figure financial wound created by the State of California. After that, Meredith moved across state lines four times before eventually returning back to South Dakota, where she has been living for the last 2.5 years. By no means is Meredith walking off into the sunset... She continues to wake up every morning wondering how she can best serve the community, make real friends, and express important messages in whatever form. Please enjoy the speech Meredith recently gave at the Black Hills Aerial Cup: https://youtu.be/Y15XccuXMFw?si=IGgYzsz8jtsfQqpA In this episode, we cover: How Meredith went from Marin County, CA to small-town South Dakota What she loves about small towns What she'd love for her own small-town experience Resources Mentioned: Freedom Fest: https://freedomfest.com/ Speech for anyone who's ever felt "non-essential”: https://youtu.be/Y15XccuXMFw?si=IGgYzsz8jtsfQqpA Meredith's website: www.DanglingDance.com Get in touch: DanglingDance@gmail.com Small-Town Shout-Out!

Send us a textFairfax criminal lawyer Jonathan Katz knows that we are at the moment of truth for standing up to Donald Trump's onslaught against non-United States citizens, lawyers and law firms, and higher education. If not, we will face the discomfort of younger generations in the future asking what we did to raise our voices to all this injustice flying from all directions in this period in American government. The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) is among the groups at the forefront of challenging such a state of affairs, with FIRE having a wide range of the political spectrum among its staff and supporters. Do not let people marginalize your voice by endeavoring to paint you as a lunatic leftie, when such opposition is much more broadbased than that (and our guest Bachir Atallah voted for Donald Trump). Jon Katz deeply thanks lawyer and naturalized United States citizen Bachir Atallah -- who with his wife Jessica Fakhri suffered around a five hours-long detention including being held in cold cells, by Customs and Border Protection officials on their April 13, 2025 drive back from a weekend in Quebec, as Bachir reports -- and his attorney and sister Celine Atallah for addressing the ordeal of Bachir and Jessica, and their current pursuit of justice to put a stop to such mistreatment. Bachir's (nicknamed Basho) story has been covered widely in the news media, and here we go in full depth devoting this entire one hour Beat the Prosecution episode to the story of Bachir and Jessica. Nothing beats hearing Bachir's story through his own words, including his recounting repeatedly being subjected to secondary screening while traveling internationally. If United States citizens are not safe from the mistreatment that Bachir describes, who is? In Beirut at the time of this April 22, 2025 interview, Bachir expresses his real concern about how he will be treated upon his return to the Logan Airport in Boston.  Newsweek reports that "CBP Assistant Commissioner Hilton Beckham told Newsweek [Bachir Atallah's] accusations are blatantly false and sensationalized..." That conclusory denial comes from someone who was not present while the events unfolded, and an exhaustive Google search and search of the CBP and DHS websites does not reveal any further government statements nor explanations on the matter. The name of this podcast is Beat the Prosecution. A vital part of doing so is to maintain checks and balances among the branches of government, and certainly not to accept the Trump administration's running roughshod over the rights of non-United States citizens (and, here, the rights of U.S. citizen Bachir Atallah), lawyers and law firms, and higher education. This episode is also available in full here on YouTube.This podcast with Fairfax, Virginia criminal / DUI lawyer Jon Katz is playable on all devices at podcast.BeatTheProsecution.com.
