Nora Freeman Engstrom is a professor of law who says that in three-quarters of cases one or more of the parties lacks legal representation. Worse yet, often the litigants are involved in high-consequence civil cases where there is no right to a lawyer and costs are prohibitive. Some states are looking at alternatives including non-lawyer representation, curated legal help for low-income citizens, and even AI, as Engstrom tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

In early October 2024, attorneys Ariel Mitchell-Kidd and Steven A. Metcalf filed a motion to withdraw as legal counsel for their client, Adria English, who had accused Sean "Diddy" Combs of sexual assault and trafficking. The attorneys cited a "breakdown in the attorney-client relationship" and "irreconcilable differences" as reasons for their withdrawal. They highlighted fundamental disagreements with English regarding various aspects of the litigation, including settlement demands and the causes of action in the pleadings. Additionally, they expressed concerns over English's alleged "undermining behavior and questionable antics," which they believed hindered effective representationThe motion also referenced a separate agreement made on September 24, 2024, intended to address issues related to English's tone, lack of respect, and self-destructive activities. The attorneys claimed that English breached this agreement shortly after its establishment, leading them to conclude that continued representation was untenable. They noted that English had been in contact with another law firm for potential representation, indicating her awareness of the withdrawal. Subsequently, a federal judge granted the motion, staying the case until November 11, 2024, to allow English time to secure new legal counsel. If she fails to do so by that date, the case will proceed with her representing herself.Adria Sheri English, a former go-go dancer, has made serious allegations against Sean "Diddy" Combs, claiming that she was forced to participate in sexual activities at his infamous "freak-off" parties. English, who has filed a lawsuit against Diddy, also revealed a list of high-profile celebrities she saw at these gatherings. Among the notable figures she claims were present are Donald Trump, Diana Ross (with her underage son Evan), Paris Hilton, Ja Rule, Busta Rhymes, and Reverend Al Sharpton. English expressed surprise at seeing some of these individuals, particularly Reverend Al Sharpton, at such controversial events.English alleges that while these celebrities attended the main parties, the "freak-offs" took place in secluded rooms away from the main events, suggesting that many of the partygoers may not have been aware of the more sinister activities happening behind closed doors. English also claimed that Diddy secretly recorded these encounters for potential blackmail purposes, further complicating the accusations against him.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Ex-porn star accusing Diddy of coercing her into 'freak offs' recalls seeing Rev.

Are you navigating the complexities of government contracts and procurement? Discover key legal strategies and insights from procurement law expert Barry Gogel! In this episode, host Gary Heldt sits down with Barry Gogel, an attorney at Rifkin Weiner Livingston, LLC, who specializes in government procurement litigation. Barry shares his transition from teaching to law, offering valuable advice for businesses looking to engage in government contracting. He also discusses the importance of a transparent procurement process, bid protests, and the common mistakes businesses make when bidding for government contracts. Key Takeaways: ✅ Understand Bid Protests: If your business is overlooked for a contract, you may have grounds for a protest, especially if there was an objective error in the evaluation process. ✅ Request a Debriefing: After a loss, always request a debriefing to understand why your bid was unsuccessful and gather crucial insights for future bids. ✅ Be Wary of Ambiguous Solicitations: Ensure that the government's solicitation is clear and unambiguous. Don't hesitate to ask questions before submitting your bid. ✅ Legal Help is Worth the Investment: While you may save money by drafting contracts yourself, having a legal expert ensures that your business is protected in the long run. ✅ Focus on Your Strengths: When bidding on government contracts, target projects that align with your business's core competencies to increase your chances of winning. Quote from Barry Gogel: "An ounce of business attorney is worth 5,000 pounds of litigation attorney."

Studies determined that at least one litigant does not have a lawyer in 75% of civil cases in the United States. The number is even higher when it comes to family law, domestic violence, housing, and small claims matters. But organizations like Oregon's Commons Law Center are doing something about it. On this episode, Kamron Graham, the Law Center's Executive Director, talks about the not for profit law firm's efforts to provide affordable legal assistance to people that make too much to qualify for legal aid, but don't make enough to hire a lawyer. The Commons Law Center helps out people facing evictions, have family law issues or need help with wills and estate planning. Kamron initially planned to pursue a career in finance but pretty quickly figured out that her empathy and concern for others probably might not jibe with a Wall Street career. After returning to Oregon after college in the Northeast, Kamron started her career working in group homes, homeless shelters and served a stint with the United Way. These experiences made clear to her that a professional degree might help her have a greater impact on people's lives and give her even more of an opportunity to use her education to help others. So, in her 30s she decided to go to law school.  After law school continued her career helping the underserved, including work for Legal Aid Services of Oregon and work as a public defender. Eventually she landed at the Commons Law Center, starting as a tenant defense attorney and ascending to the role of executive director.  The business model of the Commons Law Center is not free legal work, but charging a sliding scale fee based on a client's income. Currently 70% of the firm's budget comes from fees. The firm is working to become 100% self-sufficient, but in the meantime to fill the gap, the firm leverages tech to streamline their processes and keep costs down. It also relies on donors, foundations, and grants.  ** Thanks to former Technically Legal Guest John Grant for making this episode happen and connecting us to Kamron. Learn more about Kamron.

This Podcast Is Episode Number 539, And It's About Construction Company Contract Traps And The Advantages Of Legal Help Mistakes can be expensive in the construction business, and as an entrepreneur, although you'll know many of the regulations that apply to your business, there are so many that you can't possibly remember all of them. Depending on the type of contracting business you run, you could face laws regarding taxation, employment, product liability, premises liability, discrimination, health and safety, and various other regulations.   Keeping on top of all the laws that affect you and the changes to those laws while still being mindful of all the other aspects involved in running a business is almost impossible.   That's why you need legal help. A legal professional can identify the rules and regulations that apply to your business and advise you on operating within those laws. They can also help you draw up necessary contracts that could prevent legal action in the future, and they can prepare a case in the unfortunate event that you wind up facing or filing a lawsuit.   For instance, a new contractor meets an experienced customer, and money changes hands, not how you expect it. Typically, this happens when you first get started: You bid on a project and are the low bidder. You are given the client's standard contract, which contains the client's favorite set of commercial terms and conditions, to sign as a condition of getting the project. You close and sign the contract because you don't want to ask for changes in the terms or consult your construction attorney. You put the signed contract in your bottom desk drawer and pray that nothing will happen during the project that will cause you to reread the contract. Before it is too late, consider these contract traps to look out for: 1. Poorly defined scopes of work create claims and disputes. 2. The completion schedule is too short and exposes you to monetary damages for failure to finish on time. 3. Payment terms put you in never-ending negative cash flow by loaning the customer money at 0% and borrowing on your credit cards at 24%. 4. The customer keeps 5%-10% of the contract price as retention for up to a year or more after the entire project is finished, which could be all your profit. 5. Indemnity clauses could make you financially responsible for bodily injury and property damage claims caused by customer negligence. 6. Indemnity clauses could make you pay the customer's attorney fees and costs. 7. Your insurance company may be required to provide additional insured coverage for the project, giving the customer free insurance and full access to the policy coverage and limits. 8. Often, the terms and coverage of the warranty are beyond reasonable industry standards. 9. Dispute resolution clauses that require arbitration first and then litigation are probably the two worst ways ever invented to resolve disputes. 10. The client's pre-printed final waiver of the lien document (necessary for the contractor to receive final payment) waives all contractor's rights to recover unpaid extra work and to pursue any claims that arose during the project. Here are three reasons you need a professional to help. They help set up your construction business In the early stages of your business, they can help you make vital decisions and understand the consequences of those decisions. Is your business going to incorporate? Do you know what that means from a legal standpoint compared to other business entities? Do you understand the difference between hiring employees and working with contractors? Do you know the employment laws surrounding hiring and firing if you hire employees? Law experts understand each of those and can explain how they affect your business. They can help you make an informed decision that is in the best interests of your organization and protects you in the future. They help with contracts At some point, your business will enter into contracts. Whether those are employment contracts with employees, service contracts with clients, or business agreements with other partners, you will need legally-binding documents to protect yourself. Not all contracts are easy to read or understand, and some may have confusing clauses. They will help determine if the contract is in your best interest and if there are inclusions you need to know about—such as whether parts of the contract can be assigned to third parties or how to terminate the agreement. They can also revise the contract or change anything you deem problematic. If you're drawing up the contract, getting a qualified legal opinion can ensure the agreement represents your needs and goals. This will definitely prevent experiencing contract traps, as mentioned earlier. We recommend seeking the advice of a qualified construction attorney to put together a contract that fits your specific needs. Your arrangements need a well-defined scope of work, clear payment terms, a reasonable schedule, and a proper change order clause. No work should ever be performed based on verbal agreements. Get everything in writing, always, with no exceptions. They help prevent lawsuits When you own a small business, there's always a chance you'll wind up in litigation. You could have a dissatisfied customer or an angry former employee. You may file a lawsuit because someone else infringes on your trademark or copyright. Usually, there are steps you can take in those situations before filing or facing an expensive lawsuit, and a lawyer can help you navigate those steps, possibly avoiding the cost of going to court. If you wind up in court and already have legal representation, that person will be familiar with your business, making representing you much more manageable. Many small construction business owners and entrepreneurs wait until it's too late to seek help. They wait until a lawsuit has been filed or need to file it. A lawyer can advise you of ways to avoid those situations in the first place, saving you unnecessary legal expenses in the long run. Final thoughts Yes, attorneys cost money. The benefits of having one, however, far outweigh the expenses. They will not only advise you on business decisions and contracts that protect your business in the future; they will help defend your construction company, product, or yourself if a lawsuit arises, either with you as the plaintiff or the defendant. Smart construction business owners know there is a time and a place to spend money. Spending your money in intelligent ways saves you time and energy. It can save you money in the long run by reducing turnover and preventing costly mistakes.
