John M. Amorison, Esq.

“What makes juries award large verdicts? What makes insurance companies settle cases for large figures? It’s the skill of the lawyer. As the plaintiff’s attorney, I act as an artist, painting the strongest and most persuasive picture for the jury. If the picture is painted correctly, the insurance company may settle before going to trial. It is what a jury sees in that picture that will persuade them to find for my client and award a sizable verdict.” — John M. Amorison, Esq.

New Jersey local

New Jersey local governments failed to remove hundreds of contractors such as lawyers and engineers from pension rolls, which may cost taxpayers millions of dollars a year in improper payouts, a state audit shows.

Auditors identified 202 contractors who work for 134 communities and 25 school districts and participate in the Public Employees’ Retirement System even after a 2007 ban on their participation. Hundreds more probably are still enrolled by more than 1,100 other local government units, according to a report today from Comptroller Matthew Boxer.

“These 202 enrollees have accrued pension credits that could result in the state paying them a total of approximately $1.9 million per year” in retirement, according to the report. “Removing these professionals as of the 2008 cut-off date would significantly reduce the future annual pension payouts.”

Boxer said he referred the 202 enrollees to the state Division of Pensions and Benefits for removal of improper credits. His report didn’t identify the individuals.

Child and Spousal support

Most divorces involving children are accompanied by a some concern about child support. Parents may ask questions such as, “How much child support will I have to pay?” or, “Will the amount of child support I will be receiving be enough?”
By working with an experienced child support attorney, you can work toward a fair agreement regarding child support.

Child Support

New Jersey has adopted standard child support guidelines, which means child support is based on a standard calculation. Upward or downward deviation from these guidelines is granted only in limited circumstances. Attorney Amorison will help with your child support calculation, including whether your situation is one of the limited cases eligible for deviation from the guidelines.

Spousal Support

Divorce can involve a drastic change in monetary assets for an individual. If one spouse had been providing most of the income, the other spouse may suddenly find himself or herself without availability to income. In times like these, spousal support (or alimony) may be a viable option.
Spousal support can either be temporary or permanent. Spousal support is intended to put the receiving spouse in a financial situation similar to what he or she was in during the marriage. A number of factors determine what amount the recipient spouse should receive through spousal support. These may include:

• Income
• Potential income
• Length of marriage
• How long the couple has lived separately, if at all

Another option is temporary support. If one spouse has left, the remaining spouse can file a motion requesting temporary support. This can give the remaining spouse the chance to establish his or her own income strategy while permanent arrangements are made.

Child or Spousal Support Modification

A number of factors can qualify a party for child or spousal support modification. Most often, modification occurs after one spouse has had a change in income. Other factors may qualify a party for child support or divorce modification, including a change in expenditures.

Obama care

Obama care passed the Supreme Court’s scrutiny. No matter whether it was upheld of declared unconstitutional, the would have been (and is) loud recriminations form the “loser.”

After the dust has settled, we listen to the “experts” on the tv. These “experts” make interesting tv, but depending on the tv station are more political than really discussing the legal import of the decision.

Two very important things occurred last week. The biggest impact of the decision (which was barely discussed by the media) is what is not in the decision.

Rather, we now have a “new Sheriff in town” and that man is Chief Justice Roberts. His decision to break away from the conservative right of the bench indicates his willingness and intention to be his own person and truly make this the “Roberts court”.

Roberts has a conservative bend on the law. He could have easily decided like the four other conservatives and struck down the law. Rather, he left that camp and agreed with the left portion of the court that the “individual mandate” is in effect a tax. If it is a tax, then the constitution permits the Congress to levy “taxes.” As such, it is constitutional.

This is reminiscent of Justice Earl Warren who was appointed by then President Eisenhower. Chief Justice Warren was perceived as a conservative. But during his tenure (1960’s), some of the most Progressive rulings emerged from his Court. Now, with Justice Roberts being his own man—so to speak -- the future of the decisions of the supreme court will not be as predictable.

I have heard conservative pundits decry he is Benedict Arnold or he engaged in judicial activism. Neither is the case. The conservatives judicial mantra is a strict interpretation of the constitution. That’s what Roberts did. It is clearly spelled out in the constitution that congress has the power to levy taxes. As such, he was conservative and abided by the constitution. Unfortunately, that decision making process is inconsistent with the political right’s position on Obamacare, President Obama and the Democrats.

So when you hear on tv that Roberts became a judicial activist, it just is not legally true.
