Need of legal help

Let’s face it
Let’s face it — most people dread the thought of bankruptcy. It can be a
frightening, tense and prolonged ordeal. Nobody intends to declare
bankruptcy. — We understand this and are here to help you, not to judge
you.Before any definite decisions are made about whether or not an individual should declare bankruptcy, it is important to consider that there may be other options. We will take the time to listen to you and help you decide if bankruptcy is your best option.
Types of Bankruptcy
Chapter 7 bankruptcy — Involves the clearing of an individual’s debts. It is often referred to as “liquidation bankruptcy” because it allows the court to sell some of your assets to pay back some of your debts.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy — A type of bankruptcy that allows the debtor to pay back some or all of his or her debt on a repayment plan. This plan usually entails very low or no interest.
Are You Being Harassed by Creditor Calls?
In bankruptcy law, individuals are protected by an automatic stay, which prohibits creditors from contacting or taking any legal action against the applicable individual.
The Advantages of Working With an Experienced Bankruptcy Law Attorney
Because bankruptcy law can be confusing, any individual considering this action is best served by working with an experienced bankruptcy lawyer. Perhaps most importantly, our attorney can assess whether bankruptcy is the right option for you.

Testimonial
Testimonial... Lawyers in general have a bad
reputation, especially when it comes to matters of the heart, showing
care or sincerity or even being personable for that matter. For most of
them, it’s about getting the clients in and out and collecting the
checks along the way. Where you’re treated more like a docket number
then you are a client.
I must tell you all, that rule of thumb does not apply
to John Amorison, in any which way, shape or form. I have never in my
life, met such a kind hearted, caring attorney, nor have I ever heard of
one through anyone else’s experience!
John, is like is like an “old friend”. After talking with him a while, you feel completely at ease. Not just because of his knowledge and experience (although it sure does help), but because for that MOMENT, you’re the only person in the world he has time for.
He’s truly genuine and he cares about what he’s doing for & WITH you. He’s not going to paint you a rosey picture if there isn’t one, he’s going to be honest, but sincere.
He’s the kind of person you wish there was more of in this crazy world and to have someone like that on your side is invaluable.
Don’t ever change who you are John, you are a gift to society.
Thank you!

Golden Nugget Atlantic City
But when the players at an April game of mini-baccarat at the Golden
Nugget Atlantic City kept seeing the same sequence of cards dealt, over
and over and over again, their eyes grew wide and their bets grew
bigger, zooming from $10 a hand t
o $5,000.
Forty-one consecutive winning hands later, the 14 players had racked up more than $1.5 million in winnings – surrounded by casino security convinced they had cheated but unable to prove how.
In a lawsuit against a Kansas City playing card manufacturer, the Golden Nugget contends the cards were unshuffled, despite being promised to be pre-shuffled and ready to use.

Custody and Visitation
Custody and Visitation
Child custody and visitation cases can become difficult. Oftentimes, parents are in disagreement as to where they think their children should spend their time. Sometimes, child custody cases can be more difficult to
resolve
than all the remaining aspects of the divorce. No matter what happens
in a child custody or visitation case, the most important thing to keep
in mind is always the best interests of the child.
Types of Child Custody
There are two types of child custody that need to be addressed in any divorce involving children:
Legal Custody — This type of custody gives an individual the right to make decisions regarding the upbringing of a child. These issues include decisions about health, education and more.
Physical Custody — Physical custody grants a parent the right to have the child live with him or her. Joint physical custody may be granted to both parents, or sole physical custody may be granted to one parent. If one parent is granted full physical custody, visitation may be granted to the other.
Other Child Custody Options
Even prior to or after a final custody order has been issued, there may be custody issues that require resolution:
Temporary Custody — When a couple is going through the process of a divorce, temporary custody may be granted to one of the parents or another member of the family.
Custody/Visitation Modification — If one parent moves or something else happens that would affect a parent’s ability to provide custody for his or her child, custody or visitation rights may be modified.

The state’s highest court
The state’s highest court rejected a challenge to the statute, known as
Kyleigh’s Law, which argued the provision unfairly singles out a class
of motorists in the state, where the driving privileges for young
motorists expand in stages, and violates constitutional protections.
The law properly covers only “the group of drivers who are at specific stages of New Jersey’s graduated driver’s license
system, which governs only drivers who have permits or licenses issued by this state,” the court concluded.
Kyleigh’s Law was designed to improve safety for teenage drivers by making them easily identifiable to police. The statute, which took effect in May 2010, requires drivers under the age of 21 with a graduated driver’s license to display a red, reflective decal on their plates. Those with such limited licenses can’t drive between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m.
The bill was named after Kyleigh D’Alessio, a 16-year-old honor student and athlete from Long Valley, New Jersey, who was killed in a 2006 car accident involving a provisional driver with multiple passengers.

Spousal Support
Spousal SupportDivorce 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. http://johnamorisonlaw.com/
