The Orlando Law Group
As many of us will have children of our own at some point in our lives, we realize that our love, care, and concern for their welfare doesn’t end when they turn 18 years old – but our legal authority to make decisions on their behalf does.

You really are never too young to start planning your estate. In fact, it is always best to start while you are still sound of mind. You might think you don’t have much of an estate or that you are too busy with all the urgent demands of life to worry about something in the distant future like estate planning. But, the truth is, the process is simple when compared to what your beneficiaries will have to go through dealing with it if something happens and you don’t have your will in place.
Living will. Living trust. Power of Attorney. Will. Guardian. Estate planning.

As much as we hate them, car accidents are a fairly common occurrence. According to Forbes online, you will file a claim for a collision about once every 17.9 years. That means that if you got your license at age 16, the odds are quite good that you’ll experience some kind of crash by the time you’re 34. Over the course of a typical driving lifetime, you should have a total of three to four accidents. In fact, so far in 2016, there have already been 115,422 crashes in the state of Florida alone.

Suddenly, an officer is behind you, lights and sirens blaring… You’re getting stopped for suspicion of DUI.
So, you’ve been served. Being served a summons and complaint can be an understandably emotional experience. Depending on the circumstances, feelings of stress, fear, embarrassment, confusion and anger can accompany those papers.
When business owners think of intellectual property rights and protection, many fail to process their options due to a fear of outrageous legal fees. While a whopping $2.7 billion is spent on intellectual property litigation legal fees each year, preventative registration and filing can minimize your costs.
Finding out that your business has been sued can be a little bit intimidating. If you’ve been in business for a long time, you know that business disputes are inevitable. Sadly, not every dispute can be resolved outside of the courtroom and the angst can come from any number of sources: an unhappy customer, a disgruntled employee, someone claiming he or she suffered an injury at your location or from your product, a supplier, the government, or another business.
You’ve probably heard the term find the right person for the right job before. That adage has never been more important than it is today. Mistakes are costly. In fact, correct staffing decisions are one of the most important investments an employer makes.

The holidays are often synonymous with the idea of traditions. Traditions are those little rituals that are passed down from generation to generation.
