News, updates, resources, stories, and help from an Ohio attorney through a Blog.
The unemployed worker still finds hurdles when searching for suitable employment where they live in the best of economies, let alone Ohio's economy. Even with unemployment benefits, they face foreclosures, evictions, and repossessions. Without the benefits, the blunt truth is that many will face homelessness and hunger.
Read MoreThe Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services released the unemployment rate for October 2015, reporting that it decreased to 4.4% from 4.5% in September. This is also down from 5.2% in October 2014. The October 2015 rate is reported to be the lowest since 2001.
Read MoreTwo cases from the 11th District, granting an appeal in one case after the trial court admitted into evidence a defendant's prior OVI convictions over his offer to stipulate to the prior convictions, and modifying a sentence in a second case after misapplication of the sentencing statutes.
Read MoreI expect the blog to grow and expand from my initial goal of providing resources and insight based on the legal areas in which I practice, whether that be case notes about new DUI appeals decisions, news of unemployment rates and legislation, union labor law issues, or updates and trivia about the other areas I practice. Furthermore, I expect to reach beyond those legal resources and also share observations and anecdotes of the experiences of a lawyer's life and the people served.
